Alarm Reset:
The alarm can be reset by pressing the Reset switch on the Alarm Tone Generator or through the [ALM
RST] on the MICON.
After the reset of one alarm, if there is a queue alarm, the zones associated with the queue alarm will
be merged. Otherwise the merged zones will have a seven second delay to receive the All Clear Tone
from the Alarm Tone Generator.
Alarm All Clear:
Pressing [ALM CLR] key will clear all the previously triggered alarms. Once all the alarms are cleared,
the merged zones will still be held for 7 seconds to receive the All Clear Tone from the Alarm Tone
Generator.
Alarm Tone Override:
If the alarm has been triggered, using the PTP switch to page on one of the MICONs will attenuate the
alarm tone. The alarm tone will be restored to the normal volume once the PTP switch on MICON is
released.
The Page/Talk stations on all the zones while paging will not attenuate the existing alarm tone.
Lamp Test and Auxiliary device monitor switch report
There are two monitor switches in each MICAB. Each of these switches once closed will be reported to
the MICON. The MICON will display the warning status on the Summary Alarm LED. To check which
switch caused the warning press the [LMP TST] to have a report shown on the LCD display.
The [LMP TST] key is also used to check the two Alarm warning LEDs for failure, as well as reading the
station number of the MICON.
Connecting to the Telephone System
If a PTTI Telephone Interface is integrated into the system, it is possible – with operator assistance – to
make or receive calls from a PABX or Central Office. To receive calls, a telephone extension
connected to the PTTI phone line near a MICON is required. To make a call into the system, the
outside caller must first contact the operator at the telephone extension connected to the PTTI near the
MICON and ask to be patched in to whichever zone or zones are required. The caller then hangs up
and dials the PTTI extension number after the operator merges the appropriate zone or zones with the
MICON and pages the person or persons to whom the outside caller wishes to speak. Alternatively the
caller can press appropriate dial keys to put the PTTI into paging mode and page the person to whom
they wish to speak.
To make a call from the Page/Talk system to a telephone system, the operator must have a MICON
connected near the PTTI telephone extension. When a request to make an outside call is received
from the Page/Talk system, the operator must first call the desired phone number on the PTTI line and
then when contact is made press the Merge keys on the MICON to connect the zone in which the call
request came from and press the Link button on the PTTI to complete the connection.
