Emergency Communication System Operation
ECS Super User
When passing ECS Control between two ECS Super Users, the user is not shown the prompt screen. Instead, a request for ECS
Control is automatically made. Additionally, the lockout timer does not apply for ECS Super User.
When a request for ECS Control is made, the LOC with ECS Control will be shown a screen indicating that another LOC is
requesting ECS Control See Figure 11.3.
Figure 11.3 Another LOC is Requesting ECS control
Once ECS Control is passed to another LOC, the new user will assume the System AS IS. This means that the event that was
set to be playing at the previous LOC and all output areas it was playing in do not change.
11.2.8 Exit ECS Control Menu
The user can exit the LOC ECS interface by pressing the left arrow. The user will be returned to the Idle screen.
11.2.9 Relinquish ECS Control
Relinquishing ECS Control is accomplished by pressing the ECS Control Key from within Message Mode. A screen will be
displayed (See Figure 11.4) to ensure the user wants to relinquish ECS Control. ECS Control will be automatically relin-
quished after a time-out on this screen. When ECS Control is relinquished, the System stays in the Manual ECS State. ECS
Control can then be gained by another LOC or again at the same LOC.

11.2.10 ECS Reset
An ECS reset is accomplished by pressing the RESET button from an LOC. The user will be prompted to reset either the fire
System or emergency System. After an ECS reset, the LOC will automatically exit the LOC ECS interface.
11.3 ECS Super User
The ECS Super User access code profile function provides the ability to override all ECS Control rules and gain ECS Control.
The ECS Super User is the highest priority user in the System. The ECS Super User has several features that differ from the
normal user:
1.
Any alarm activated while under ECS Super User Control needs to be reset using an ECS Super User function enabled
access code.
2.
LOC priority and LOC lockout timer are ignored when passing ECS Control between ECS Super Users at LOCs. If
another ECS Super User attempts to gain ECS Control from an LOC, an ECS Control request is presented to the ECS
Super User at the LOC that currently has ECS Control.
11.4 ECS Point Functionality
Any input point in the System can be configured as an ECS input. The Point ECS 1-8 Alarm input types can be used to trigger
predetermined ECS events for output areas. The FIK-NVCM or FIK-RVM points can be programmed to trigger Voice Aux
events that can allow external audio to be played through the Emergency System.
11.4.1 ECS Point Activations
ECS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the System is not in Manual ECS State. ECS points
have no priority and all are allowed to be activated. If the ECS point is a higher priority than the Fire System, then the System
will play the highest event message through all ECS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point Alarm has mes-
sage 1 mapped to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing through groups 2 and 3. If a point
for Emergency 1 Point Alarm and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are both active, the System will play message 1
through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual ECS State is active, points in Alarm state switch to an Active state. When the points are changed to the Active
state, they do not activate any System mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated while in Manual ECS are
also placed into the Active state and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The System Idle screen will show an ECS Alarm
for any points in the Active state, and the detailed description of the point will show the point as Active.
After an ECS Reset, any ECS points that are still active will again be put into Alarm.

NOTE:
In order to perform an ECS reset, the display must be associated with the FIK-NVCM or FIK-RVM. See Section Figure 11.6.2
