4: Fire; 5: Message Mode - Honeywell Farenhyt Series Manual

Emergency Communication System Operation
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 message, the system will automatically generate an ECS Supervisory. 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 ECS interface when in the manual ECS state:
• Fire Page Mode
• Message 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 Fire Page Mode and Message Mode
At any time while in ECS Control, you can switch between Fire Page Mode and Message Mode. Fire Page Mode is entered by simply engag-
ing the microphone.
• 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 in which to play the current ECS message. 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
Appendix C.
• Fire Page Mode: Use the Select keys while the microphone is active to toggle which areas in which to broadcast a live ECS page. 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 set up 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. The Select key's red LED will light 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's red
LED will turn off 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 available in panel programming 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 in which to broadcast over with the microphone. The
green LEDs next to the Select keys will activate or deactivate.
When Fire is set to higher priority than ECS in user programming, and NACs are active due to a release alarm, ECS functions and the micro-
phone will be disabled. In this instance, NACs take higher priority over ECS messages. The screen will display the following.
10.2.5 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 deactivate the
output areas in which 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.
