Emergency Communication System Operation
10.2.10 ECS Reset
An ECS reset is accomplished by pressing the RESET button from an LOC. The user will be prompted to reset either the fire system or emer-
gency system. After an ECS reset, the LOC will automatically exit the LOC ECS interface.
NOTE: In order to perform an ECS reset, the display must be associated with the ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, or ECS-RVM. See Section 10.6.2.

10.3 ECS Super User

The ECS Super User access code profile function provides the ability to override all ECS control rules and gain ECS control. The ECS Super
User is the highest priority user in the system. The ECS Super User has several features that differ from the normal user:
1. Any alarm activated while under ECS Super User control needs to be reset using an ECS Super User function enabled access code.
2. LOC priority and LOC lockout timer are ignored when passing ECS Control between ECS Super Users at LOC units. If another ECS
Super User attempts to gain ECS control from an LOC, an ECS control request is presented to the ECS Super User at the LOC that
currently has ECS control.

10.4 ECS Point Functionality

Any input point in the system can be configured as an ECS input. Alarm input types can be used to trigger predetermined ECS events for out-
put areas. ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, or ECS-RVM points can be programmed to trigger Voice Aux events that can allow external audio to be
played through the emergency system.
10.4.1 ECS Point Activations
ECS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the system is not in the Manual ECS State. ECS points have no pri-
ority and all are allowed to be activated. If the ECS point is a higher priority than the fire system, then the system will play the highest event
message through all ECS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point Alarm has message 1 mapped
to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing through groups 2 and 3. If a point for Emergency 1 Point Alarm
and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are both active, the system will play message 1 through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual ECS State is active, points in alarm state switch to an active state. When the points are changed to the active state, they do not
activate any system mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated while in Manual ECS are also placed into the active state
and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The system Idle screen will show an ECS alarm for any points in the active state, and the
detailed description of the point will show the point as active.
After an ECS Reset, any ECS points that are still active will again be put into alarm.
10.4.2 ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, and ECS-RVM Points
ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, and ECS-RVM modules contain two programmable input points. These also have the ability to be programmed as
a trigger for bringing external audio into the system. These special point types are: Voice Aux ECS and Voice Aux Status. When activated, if
the event has the highest event priority of all activated events, these points will activate the Aux In input to all outputs defined by the respec-
tive event program mapping.
NOTE: Background Music is only allowed to be mapped to circuit 8 of the ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers to ensure correct active supervision.

10.5 Amplifier Programming

10.5.1 Adding an Amplifier
To add a new amplifier to the system, follow these steps:
1. Login to the panel. The panel will automatically go to the Main Menu.
2. Select 7 for Panel Programming Menu.
3. Press 1 to enter Module Menu.
4. Press 2 to add a module.
5. From the next screen, add an ECS-AMP.
The screen will display "Adding module [#]..." for a few moments. You will be returned to the New Module Type screen where you can
select another module(s) if desired.
