User Profile Access Control

The user will need to enter an access code containing the ECS Control Request or ECS Super User profile option to gain ECS Control.
ECS Control Request and ECS Super User profile options will be mutually exclusive to the system. If the access code has ECS Super
User, the ECS Control Request is ignored and activations by that user are always as ECS Super User.
11.2.3 Manual ECS
After gaining ECS Control the system enters the LOC ECS interface which allows you to activate the Emergency System and allows for
Emergency Paging. Once an emergency event has been activated the panel enters a Manual ECS State. In this state, all ECS Alarm pro-
grammed points that are currently in alarm in the system are changed to an active state. The display status screen reflects this when view-
ing the system for status. Any outputs that were activated by the ECS Alarm programmed points are deactivated until Manual ECS state
is exited. Only an ECS Reset can exit the Manual ECS State. If a user gains ECS Control at an LOC and does not activate an ECS mes-
sage, the system will automatically generate an ECS Supervisory indicating such. This prevents an LOC from being in an undesired state
of ECS Control when an actual event emerges.
There are two modes for interacting with the LOC ECS interface when in Manual ECS State:
1. Message Mode
2. Microphone Mode
These two modes allow you to quickly toggle areas of output for a desired message and toggle output areas to speak to for microphone
ECS Paging.
After gaining ECS Control, the system is in Message Mode of the Manual ECS State.

Switching between Microphone Mode and Message Mode

At any time while in ECS Control, you can switch between Microphone Mode and Message Mode. Microphone Mode is entered by sim-
ply engaging the microphone.
1. Message Mode: Use the ECS Message keys to select which message/event to output to the system. Use the Select Keys to select
output areas to play the current ECS Message in. The Select Key's red LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the
ECS Message to the area. Any non-voice groups assigned to this Select Key will also activate with their Activation Cadence. See
Section .
2. Microphone Mode: Use the Select Keys while the microphone is active to toggle which areas to do an ECS Microphone Page to.
The Select Key's green LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the ECS Microphone Page to the area.

Activating/Deactivating Output Groups Dynamically

This method allows the system to be setup with minimal or no system mapping. When in Manual ECS State and operating in Message
Mode the user can dynamically activate/deactivate output areas for system notification to take place in. The Select Key red LED will
become lit and the circuits in the output group(s) will become active and play the currently active ECS event message when activated.
When deactivated, the Select Key red LED will become unlit and the circuits in the output group(s) will become inactive. Non-voice out-
put groups can also be assigned to Select Keys and will toggle on/off using the activation cadence assigned to it in output group pro-
gramming. This is available in the panel and in HFSS. See Section 9.4.1 .
11.2.4 Microphone Mode
Microphone Mode allows the user to press the Select Keys to toggle which output areas to speak to over the microphone. The green
LEDs next to the Select Keys will activate or deactivate.
11.2.5 Message Mode
In Message Mode, the user is able to press the ECS Message Keys to choose a message and press the Select Keys to activate or deacti-
vate which output areas the message will be played. This will activate or deactivate the green and red LEDs next to the ECS Message
Keys and the red LEDs next to the Select Keys.
11.2.6 Custom ECS Event
Custom ECS events allows the user to generate an ECS event and speak a custom message using the microphone. Once the user is done
speaking the message, the tone and any associated strobes will continue to be active in the output areas.
To generate a Custom ECS Event:
1. Gain ECS Control using the ECS Control Key when there is not an active Manual ECS State Event.
2. Activate the microphone.
3. Choose desired output areas using the Select Keys.
4. Speak custom message into microphone.
