TOA Electronics VM-2120 instruction manual

Step 4. Emergency Broadcast Termination

To terminate the Emergency broadcast, activate the Emergency Stop input by way of the corresponding connected external equipment. The unit returns to the general-purpose broadcast mode it was in immediately before the Emergency broadcast was started. Then, both EMERGENCY indicators of the RM-200M and the VM amplifier go out.

Note, however, that the unit does not return to the original general-purpose broadcast depending on the type of general-purpose broadcast. (See p. 21.)

Notes

•Emergency broadcasts are always made at the maximum volume level. The master and zone volume controls cannot be used during Emergency broadcast.

•Emergency broadcast cannot be terminated by the Remote Microphone.

•If emergency broadcast is stopped using the Reset key, the unit could not return to the mode it was last in before the emergency broadcast was activated.

•When the unit not equipped with the EV-200 is placed in emergency broadcast mode, announcements from the Remote Microphone can be broadcast over the entire area (by bypassing the attenuator). Press the Remote Microphone's talk switch to make the announcement.

*1 Requires installation of the optional EV-200 Voice Announcement Board.

*2 A terminal built in the rear-mounted CONTROL I/O connector

*3 Requires recording of the Alert signal, broadcast message, and their number of repetitions on an installed CompactFlash (CF) card. (Consult the dealer from whom the unit was purchased.)

*4 Requires recording of the Evacuation signal and broadcast message on an installed CompactFlash (CF) card. (Consult the dealer from whom the unit was purchased.)

*5 The unit is placed in this operation mode when the internal function switch (SW3-3) is set to the factory- preset position. This switch can be used to switch the microphone to "silent" mode after announcement completion. (See p. 49 "VM Amplifier's Internal Function Switches.")

Note that this setting places the system in silent mode following a live microphone announcement, allowing further announcements to be made. Therefore, continuously repeat emergency announcements using the microphone to evacuate building occupants to safe locations.
