2.10.3 How to Operate the Microphone during Non-Alarm Conditions
During non-alarm conditions, operate the microphone in the following manner.
1. To talk to ALL areas:
Turn Evac keyswitch to the MANUAL position. Push the momentary ALL
ZONES PA Switch UP or DOWN. This will select All Zones for PA
announcement. Now go to Step 2.
To talk to SPECIFIC areas:
Turn Evac keyswitch to the MANUAL position. Push the desired ZONE PA
SWITCHES (momentary UP or DOWN position) to select the desired PA
ZONE.
2. Remove the Microphone from the microphone holding clip and hold close to
your mouth; press and hold-in the push-to-Talk switch located on the
microphone.
3. Make the appropriate announcement. (refer note below)
4. When finished, unkey the Microphone and replace it in on the microphone
holding clip.
5. Turn off ALL ZONES PA or Selected zone PA by pushing the associated
momentary switch in the UP or DOWN position.
6. Return the EVAC keyswitch to the AUTO position
NOTE: The microphone used on the panel is a special noise cancelling
microphone. When making PA announcements, the operator must hold
the microphone very close too and directly in front of your mouth and
speak in a loud clear voice. Failure to do so will result in loss of volume of
the PA announcements.
2.11 DURATION OF THE ALERT SIGNAL
If the panel has not been programmed without the automatic cascade evacuation
sequence then the duration of the alert signal defaults to 600 seconds (10 minutes).
This means that in the event of an alarm signal and the panel is in AUTO mode, then
the ALERT tone will sound for a period of 600 seconds and then automatically go to a
continuous EVACuation tone unless the panel is placed in manual control by turning the
keyswitch to the MANUAL position. Turning the keyswitch to the MANUAL position will
cancel any tones being broadcast.
