6: Custom Evs Event; 7: Passing Evs Control; 8: Exit Evs Control Menu - Honeywell 6820 Manual

Emergency Voice System Operation
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.
10.2.6 Custom EVS Event
Custom EVS events allows the user to generate an EVS 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 EVS Event:
1. Gain EVS Control using the EVS Control Key when there is not an EVS Event active.
2. Activate the microphone.
3. Choose desired output areas using the Select Keys.
4. Speak custom message into microphone.
10.2.7 Passing EVS Control
Passing of EVS Control is allowed when two LOC units have the same priority. When it is possible to pass control, a prompt (similar to
Figure 10.2) will display in which the user can request control from the LOC with EVS Control, enter an access code with the EVS Super
User profile option to override the other LOC, or wait for the lockout timer to expire (if applicable).
When passing EVS Control between two EVS Super Users, the user is not shown the prompt screen. Instead, a request for EVS Control is
automatically made. Additionally, the lockout timer does not apply for EVS Super User.
When a request for EVS Control is made, the LOC with EVS Control will be shown a screen (similar to Figure 10.3), even when in another
menu, except programming menus, indicating that another LOC is requesting EVS Control. The piezo buzzer on the LOC with EVS Control
sound when an EVS Control request is active to alert a nearby operator of the request.
Once EVS Control is passed to another LOC, the new user will assume the system AS IS. This means that the event that was set to be playing
at the previous LOC and all output areas it was playing in do not change.
10.2.8 Exit EVS Control Menu
The user can exit the LOC EVS interface by pressing the left arrow key. The user will be returned to the idle screen which indicates that the
LOC still has EVS control.
