1: Adding An Loc; 2: Editing An Loc; Loc Priority; Loc Association - Honeywell Silent Knight SK318PT Installation And Operation Manual

11.6.1 Adding an LOC
To add new LOCs to the system, follow these steps:
1. Enter the installer code. The panel will automatically go to the main menu.
2. Select 7 for Panel Program Menu.
3. Press 1 to enter Module menu.
4. Press 2 to add a module.
5. From the next screen, add either an *EVS-VCM or **EVS-RVM.
NOTE: * Only 1 EVS-VCM may be installed per site.
NOTE: ** Up to 4 EVS-RVMs may be installed per site.
The screen will display "Adding module [#]..." for a few moments. You will be returned to the <New Module Type> screen where
you can select a name for the module if desired.
6. Add a compatible LCD Annunciator, if desired, to associate with each EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM
You must save changes when you exit the Program Menu or the new module(s) will not be added. For more information see section
9.2.2.
NOTE: If you Add a Module that has not been physically connected, the panel will go into trouble after it re-initializes (when you exit the
Program Menu). When the new module is attached, the trouble will restore automatically the next time you power up the system.
11.6.2 Editing an LOC
When editing EVS LOCs, the features that may be edited are: module ID, module name, number of switch expanders installed, extended
features, microphone type, microphone gain, auxiliary gain, tone gain, message gain, keypad priority, and associated keypad
To edit an existing module:
1. Enter the installer code.
2. Select 7 for Program Menu.
3. Press 1 to enter module menu.
4. Press 1 to edit a module.
5. Use the up or down arrow to select the module you wish to edit.
6. Press the right arrow or ENTER to move to next selection.

LOC Priority

Each device is assigned a Priority level: Low, Normal, or High. This is modified by editing the LOC's EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM module.
By default, the EVS-VCM has a high LOC priority. The EVS-RVM is defaulted to normal LOC priority.

LOC Association

In order to created an LOC, an annunciator must be associated to an EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM. This done by editing the EVS-VCM or
EVS-RVM module and selecting the correct annunciator for the associated device. During JumpStart, the EVS-VCM is automatically
associated with the internal annunciator. The association for other LOCs in the system must be performed in programming.

11.7 Using the Microphone

11.7.1 Microphone Functionality
Each microphone in the system is capable of providing live fire system or EVS paging.
The microphones are housed within the EVS-Series panel enclosure and the EVS-LOC cabinets. A maximum of five microphones can
be installed in the system.
11.7.2 Custom EVS Event
This event is activated by gaining EVS control at an LOC and using the microphone without any EVS event already active. In this case,
the custom EVS mapping and general EVS mapping will be activated and stay activated until a different EVS event is activated at the
LOC or the user resets the Emergency Voice System.
11.7.3 Fire Page
A fire page can only occur when:
1. Only the fire system is active.
2. Both fire and EVS are active and the fire alarm is programmed to be of higher priority than the active EVS alarm.
• If the fire alarm has the highest active priority and EVS is also active, any LOC can do a fire page given LOC device pri-
ority rules are followed. If the user is at the LOC with EVS Control, and the fire page is of higher priority that the EVS
event, the LOC will automatically relinquish EVS Control to do the fire page when the user engages the microphone.
3. Only the fire system is active, the user has gained EVS Control and custom EVS event is a lower priority than the fire alarm.
• In this case, if any LOC has EVS Control, the LOC will automatically relinquish control to allow for the fire page.
