The BOWS supports 2 recordable messages, Alert and Evac. Alert can
be up to 4 seconds long. Evac consists of two factory-programmed
messages (Msg1 and Msg2) that can be up to 7.2 seconds in total
length. The Alert and Evac messages can be re-recorded using the
Emergency PA microphone.
To record a message use the following steps (when the BOWS is not in
alarm or evacuate or test mode):
1.
Fit link LK3 - REC EN on the T-GEN (master). This enables the
recording and playback of messages.
2. Select the message to be recorded (played) using switch 2 - T1 as
follows:
T1 Off - Evac message
T1 On - Alert message
3.
Press the Emergency PA microphone button to start recording.
Recording will continue until either the button is released or the
maximum message length has been reached (see NOTE).
4.
The recorded message can be played back using the Play button
on the T-GEN board. Note that if the Evacuation Control switch is
not in the Isolate position the played back message will be
broadcast over the speaker system. Recording is not broadcast.
5.
When recording has been completed, re-set T1 to its original
position and remove Link LK3 to disable the record function.
NOTE:
Messages less than 0.5 seconds will not be broadcast (this
can be used to delete an unwanted message). Note that if
Evac Msg1 is replaced with a message of more than 4
seconds duration, Evac Msg2 will also be overwritten.
If the BOWS is fitted with a slave T-GEN 50 (e.g., 100W BOWS or 50W
BOWS fitted with a 2
nd
T-GEN), the switches on the slave T-GEN are not
used and should be left in the Off position. The links must be set in the
following positions (NF = Not Fitted): LK1
– NF, LK2 – NF, LK3 – NF,
LK4
– NF, LK5 – SLAVE, LK6 – SLAVE, LK7 – DEF-.
