After locating and correcting a fire alarm condition at the 

FACP, the system will return to Normal Standby Operation. After correcting a 
mass notification event, press the MNS C

Activation of trouble signal under normal operation 

indicates a condition that requires 

immediate

will override the evacuation tone/message if panel is in alarm and 
activate desired speaker circuits.

3. Once the OK TO PAGE lights green, broadcast:

• By paging: Key the microphone by pressing the push-to-talk switch on 
side of microphone and speak clearly into the microphone.
• By prerecorded message: Press the desired message button.

4. Press the A

Activates all speaker circuits for broadcast. 

MNS C

ONTROL

(for systems configured for mass notification operation 

which has higher priority)

.  

Activates the MNS Active Relay and the onboard 

NAC. A second press turns these back off. For a combination fire and mass 
notification system, pressing MNS C

ONTROL

 will result in the shutdown of 

audible FACP NACs and audio system speakers, allowing the system to over-
ride the system. Pressing MNS C

ONTROL

 again causes the FACP to re-activate 

audible FACP NACs and audio system speakers.

tion for an ALL CALL, message activation, or general page. The green LED 
will turn on steadily to confirm control. A second press is required after paging 
to relinquish control of the system. The main console will have system priority 
based upon user programming. In order for the LOC to gain control, the ECC 
must first relinquish control of the system.
