11.4 ECS Point Functionality
Any input point in the system can be configured as an ECS input. The Point ECS 1-8 Alarm input types can be
used to trigger predetermined ECS events for output areas. ECS-VCM points can be programmed to trigger
Voice Aux events that can allow external audio to be played through the emergency system.
11.4.1
ECS Point Activations
ECS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the system is not in Manual ECS State.
ECS points have no priority 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 counter 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.
11.4.2
ECS-VCM Points
The ECS-VCM module contains two programmable input points. These can be programmed as any conventional
switch input type. These also have the ability to be programmed as a trigger for bringing external audio into the
system. These special point types are: ECS Voice Aux In 1-4 Alarm, Voice Aux In 1-2 Status, Background
Music. When activated if the event has the highest Event Priority of all activated events, it will activate the Aux
In input to all outputs defined by the respective 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.
11.5 Amplifier Programming
11.5.1
Adding an Amplifier
To add a new AMP to the system, follow these steps:
1.
Enter the installer code. 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
ule Type> screen where you can select another a name for the module(s) if desired.
You must save changes when you exit the Program Menu or the new module will not be added. For more
information see section 9.2.2.
If you Add a Module that has not been physically connected, the panel will go into trouble after it re-initializes
(when you exit the Program Menu). When the new module is attached, the trouble will restore automatically the
next time you power up the
