Methods of Operating the Premier EVACS 1-16
The Premier EVACS 1-16 can operate in any one of the following ways:-
1. LIVE BROADCAST
The microphone is used to broadcast information about the alarm, and the responsible person would direct
occupants what to do next. The Microphone broadcasts to all non-disabled channels.
2. PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE (MANUAL)
The Operator can select to play the pre recorded Evacuation or alert message to individual zones. The message(s)
are only played to the selected zones.
3. PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE (AUTOMATIC)
Some or all of the Premier EVACS 1-16`s remote trigger inputs will be connected to I/O units in a fire panel. The
panel will operate the I/O relays to link the relevant trigger to 0V. There are inputs for Evac on all zones, Alert on all
zones, and an individual input for each zone, which can be configured via the PC Software. Sample configurations
are:-
Play evac / alarm on selected zone
Play evac / alarm on selected zone, and alert on all other zones
Play evac / alarm on selected zone, and alert on floor above & floor below
As shown above, the number of zones operated will depend on the configuration of the remote inputs.
Resetting from a Voice Alarm Condition
The EVACS 1-16 can be reset in various ways, depending on how the Voice alarm condition was initiated.
If the microphone is used for a live broadcast, simply releasing the microphone will return the EVACS 1-16 to its
normal condition.
If a pre-recorded message was started manually, it will need to be reset from the Voice Alarm Panel. Press Start/Stop
to stop playing the message, then press reset to return the EVACS 1-16 to its normal condition.
If a pre-recorded message was started automatically by a fire alarm panel, resetting the fire alarm panel will reset
the Voice alarm panel automatically. Alternatively, the message can be stopped by pressing Stop/Start on the Voice
alarm Panel. (Note if reset is then pressed, and the triggering signal is still active, the EVACS 1-16 will return to the
voice alarm condition.
