4: Fire; 5: Message Mode - Honeywell 6820 Manual

LOC Functionality
exited. Only an EVS Reset can exit the Manual EVS State. If a user gains EVS Control at an LOC and does not activate an EVS message, the
system will automatically generate an EVS Supervisory indicating such. This prevents an LOC from being in an undesired state of EVS Con-
trol when an actual event emerges.
There are two modes for interacting with the LOC EVS interface when in Manual EVS State:
• Message Mode
• Fire Page Mode
These two modes allow you to quickly toggle areas of output for a desired message or to speak to a microphone for EVS Paging.
After gaining EVS Control, the system is in Fire Page Mode of the Manual EVS State.
Switching between Fire Page Mode and Message Mode
At any time while in EVS Control, you can switch between Fire Page Mode and Message Mode. Fire Page Mode is entered by simply engag-
ing the microphone.
1. Message Mode: Use the EVS Message keys to toggle which message/event to output to the system. Use the Select Keys to toggle output
areas to play the current EVS Message in. The Select Key's red LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the area is
now receiving the message. Any non-voice groups assigned to this Select Key will also toggle with their Activation Cadence. See
SectionActivating Output Groups Dynamically.
2. Fire Page Mode: Use the Select Keys while the microphone is active to toggle which areas to do an EVS Microphone Page to. The
Select Key's green LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the EVS Microphone Page to the area.
Activating Output Groups Dynamically
This method allows the system to be setup with minimal or no system mapping. When in Manual EVS 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 EVS event message when activated. When deacti-
vated, the Select Key red LED will become unlit and the circuits in the output group(s) will become inactive. Non-voice output groups can
also be assigned to Select Keys and will toggle on/off using the activation cadence assigned to it in output group programming. This is avail-
able in the panel and in HFSS. Refer to Section 8.4.1 for information on editing groups.
10.2.4 Fire Page Mode
Fire Page 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.
When Fire is set to higher priority than EVS in user programming, and NACs are active due to a release alarm, EVS functions and the micro-
phone will be disabled. In this instance, NACs take higher priority over EVS messages. The screen will display the following.
10.2.5 Message Mode
In Message Mode, the user is able to press the EVS message Keys to choose a message and press the Select Keys to activate or deactivate
which output areas the message will be played. This will activate or deactivate the green and red LEDs next to the EVS Message Keys and
the red LEDs next to the Select Keys.
