Evacuate Specific Floors when No Alarms are Present
Specific floors in the building can be manually evacuated at any time, even when no fire alarm condition is present. To do this, follow these
steps.
1.
Press the speaker circuit buttons corresponding to the speaker group (floors) you want to evacuate. The LEDs corresponding to
the selected speaker groups illuminate.
2.
Press the Selective Evac button. The LED associated with the Selective Evac button illuminates and the Primary Evacuation
message plays on the selected speaker circuit.
Example:
To evacuate floors 1 and 2, you would first press the buttons labeled Floor 1 and Floor 2. Their LEDs light to let you know that
these are the selected floors. Next, press the Selective Evac button. The Selective Evac LED lights and the message plays on the selected
floors.
Evacuate Additional Floors During an Alarm
When a fire alarm occurs, the evacuation message automatically plays on specific floors but other areas of the building may not
automatically play the message. Additional floors can be evacuated, as follows:
1.
Press the speaker circuit button(s) for the additional floors. When you do this, the LEDs for the selected floors illuminate and the
message plays on the speaker circuits for those floors.
Note:
The evacuation message does not restart when additional speaker circuits are activated. For example, if the entire
message is, "Please evacuate this Floor. Proceed to your designated assembly area," and you activate the speaker circuit button
when the message is half through, only the second half of the message will play on the additional speaker circuit.

Single Channel Audio Plus Paging
A Single Channel Audio System Plus Paging can play one prerecorded message and one live message at the same time. In other words, a
prerecorded message can be playing on Floor 1 while an announcement is being made on Floor 2. The hardware (microphone, switches,
LEDs, etc.) is the same as single channel audio. Refer to Figure 27 for an example of the hardware configuration.
