FIREFINDER-XLS INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Select Page
Select Page sends the emergency page message from the Live Voice Module (LVM)
to all Selected speaker groups in the system. Choosing Select Page overrides Select
Evacuation, Select Alert, Select Convenience Page and Select Background Music.
To select Select Page, follow the steps listed below.
1.
Pick up the Live Voice Module.
2.
Depress the Select Page switch and then the switch for the desired
individual speaker group.
3.
The Select Page switch and the selected Speaker Group switch LEDs flash green.
4.
If no Speaker Group switches are pressed for 120 seconds, the system
automatically returns to normal.
5.
Depress the key on the Live Voice Module.
6.
The LED on the selected Speaker Group switch turns steady green indicat-
ing that the speaker group is now turned on.
7.
Once the microphone is keyed, a preannouncement tone sounds on the
speaker group for approximately three seconds (0-10 seconds is program-
mable in Zeus).
8.
While the preannouncement tone is sounding, the Pre-Announce Tone LED
is on steady to give the operator a visual indication of what is sounding.
9.
When the preannouncement tone ends, the Pre-Announce Tone LED turns off and
the Ready to Page LED turns on telling the operator to proceed with the page.
10. The operator can now speak and make the page to the selected speaker
groups.
11. During the page, the operator can briefly (for up to five seconds) unkey and
then re-key the microphone (for example, to cough) - without re-initiating
the pre-announce tone.
12. To end the page the operator simply unkeys and replaces the microphone.
The Ready to Page LED turns off.
13. The Select Page and the selected Speaker Group switch LEDs turn from
steady green to flashing green.
14. To return the system to normal, the operator first depresses the selected
Speaker Group switches, then Select Page. If these switches are not
deselected, the system will return to normal automatically in approximately
1-2 minutes and turn off the Select Page and selected Speaker Group LEDs.
This sequence of operation assumes the system is normal and no alarms exist. If there were
alarms in the system, the Select Page would operate the exact same way - except that the
speaker groups that were receiving an evacuation or alert signal would be overridden by the
page. Once the page ends, the previously sounding evacuation or alert signals would resume
on the floors/groups that were sounding before the page.
