Configuration for Mass Notification
There are two groups that can be created for the nodes; one group is the fire/central control and the second is mass
notification.
In order to have this distinction, all zones have to be assigned a “Zone Priority”. Priority can be high, low, normal or a
percentage of + or - increments of 5. Maximum of +95 percent above normal and -95 percent below normal. This
percentage allows specific levels of messaging priority above and below fire alarm messaging. For example one area
of voice messaging may have +5 percent above normal zone priority, which means that this area has the first level
priority (or override) above fire alarm messaging. Another area may have -10 percent below normal zone priority which
will have this area two levels below fire alarm messaging priority.
The following are screen captures of the group and zone priority for an sample system with a CACF and MNS and two
FX-LOC(R)s (refer to Figure 1).
