Clause / Requirement

10Voice alarm manual control (option with requirements)

10.1 General requirements

The VACIE may have provision for manually activating the voice alarm output condition. If a voice alarm output control facility is provided the following shall apply:

aa manual control which causes a voice alarm output condition to be given shall only be accessible at access level 2;

bit shall be possible to activate each voice alarm zone individually and/or in group(s) of voice alarm zones;

cthe manual activation of a voice alarm zone shall not prevent the mandatory indications and outputs to other voice alarm zones.

10.2Indication of the voice alarm zones in an activated condition

The indication for the voice alarm condition in the voice alarm zone(s) associated with each manual control shall be available without any manual action and shall not be suppressed. This indication shall be by means of

aa separate light emitting indicator (the General Voice Alarm Output activated indicator), and

ba separate light emitting indicator and/or alphanumeric display for each voice alarm zone and/or an indication for group(s) of voice alarm zones.

NOTE - These indicators may not necessarily indicate which emergency message is being broadcast in each voice alarm zone.

10.3Indication of the voice alarm zones in fault condition

The indication for the fault condition which would prevent the generation and transmission of the voice alarm signal to the voice alarm zone(s) associated with each manual control shall be available without any manual action and shall not be suppressed. This indication shall be by

Compliance Signature

Praesideo is compliant.

The Praesideo system can enter the voice alarm output condition manually via control input contacts, the Open Interface and call station (keypad) keys, by starting a call with a high enough priority.

A voice alarm priority call can be manually activated in one or more individual zones or zone groups. Zone selection is possible via call station keypad keys or via the Open Interface (e.g. using a PC Call Station for graphical representation of zones with mouse or touch screen selection).

Zones can also be added to and removed from a running voice evacuation call using the ‘Start’ action, even from other call stations or control inputs on other system elements. A separate ‘Stop’ action is available to stop such a call from any location.

Praesideo uses the concept of audio output assignment to a dedicated zone. Because different zones use different amplifiers, the activation of an additional voice alarm zone will not affect other voice alarm zones.

Praesideo can be configured to abort lower priority calls and BGM (Background Music) if a voice alarm state is present.

The mandatory zone related indications are based on the priority of the active call in the voice alarm zones. This means that the lower priority boundary of the Zone status indicator for each zone should be set to include all priorities of possible alarm calls into that zone. Using priority level 224 as lower boundary is a safe choice, because then the Zone status indicator will cover all possible alarm priorities (224-255).

Praesideo is compliant.

The voice alarm condition is indicated on the Praesideo system by:

•A red indicator on all call stations (the system status LED).

•A textual indicator on the network controller display

•An output contact configured as voice alarm activated indicator (Emergency alarm indicator). This output contact can be used to control the General Voice Alarm Activated indicator.

The key-indicators on call station keypad kits (or regular keypads) can be configured for ‘Zone status’, to show that a (voice) alarm is active for a specific zone or group of zones. The indication is based on the priority of the active call in that zone, see 10.1. c.

Praesideo is compliant.
