LOC Functionality
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.
10.2.6 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 a custom message into microphone.
10.2.7 Passing ECS Control
Passing of ECS 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 ECS control, enter an access code with the ECS Super
User profile option to override the other LOC, or wait for the lockout timer to expire (if applicable).
When passing ECS Control between two ECS Super Users, the user is not shown the prompt screen. Instead, a request for ECS control is
automatically made. Additionally, the lockout timer does not apply for ECS Super User.
When a request for ECS control is made, the LOC with ECS control will be shown a screen indicating that another LOC is requesting ECS
control.
Once ECS 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, does not change.
10.2.8 Exit ECS Control Menu
The user can exit the LOC ECS interface by pressing the left arrow. The user will be returned to the Idle screen.
10.2.9 Relinquish ECS Control
Relinquishing ECS control is accomplished by pressing the ECS Control Key from within Message Mode. A screen will be displayed (See
Figure 10.4) to ensure the user wants to relinquish ECS control. ECS control will be automatically relinquished after a time-out on this
screen. When ECS control is relinquished, the system stays in the Manual ECS State. ECS control can then be gained by another LOC or
again at the same LOC.
NOTE: The ECS will relinquish control after 5 minutes of inactivity.
