VOICE SYSTEM PRIORITIES
Activation of Fike’s emergency communication system can be initiated automatically by the CyberCat 50
panel for Alarm, Test Alarm, Supervisory and Process states or manually via activation of an input switch
configured for Voice or MNS operation (as stated above). In order to resolve which panel event or input
switch should have operational control priority over another, Fike’s voice system allows you to assign a
control priority level to the panel events and switches that initiate voice operations. Each event or switch can
be assigned a priority level from 0 to 254 using the panel’s configuration software (C-Linx), with 1 being the
highest priority and 254 being the lowest priority. A setting of 0 disables the control priorities and must be
used on all systems where priority schemes are not utilized.
Activation of a panel event or switch with a lower priority setting cannot override a panel event or switch with a
higher priority. A panel event or switch can override another panel event or switch with the same priority
setting or a lower priority setting.
L
Note:
Assigning a priority to panel events does not affect the normal operation of the panel where an
Alarm event always has priority over a Supervisory event. It simply assigns a priority to the audio
messages that will be played by the voice system amplifiers in response to a switch press or panel event.

PANEL MENU STRUCTURE
The CyberCat 50 control panel is equipped with an extensive menu structure. Refer to Appendix D for a
complete breakdown of the system menu structure. Access to certain panel menus and functions
(Configuration Menus) are password protected and require the operator to log onto the system in order to
view them or gain access to make changes. Refer to Section 2.2.1 for details on how to log onto the system.
Access to system menus such as History, Diagnostics and Maintenance are not password protected. This
allows responding personnel to easily review system events as they occur by accessing the History Menu and
diagnose potential problems occurring on the system via the Diagnostics Menus. The Maintenance Menu
provides several functions that are designed to assist service personnel in maintaining the system. A detailed
description of these panel menus and available functions is provided in Sections 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 of this
manual for reference purposes.
