8.3.1 WIP Select Switch
(One switch per WIP) - when pressed for the first time will initiate a call to the WIP, or answer a call
from a WIP. Pressing the switch a second time will terminate the call to the WIP regardless of who
initiated the call.
8.3.2 WIP Select Indicator (Red)
(One indicator per WIP) - will flash when the ECP is calling the WIP and goes steady when the call is
answered at the WIP. When the call is terminated, the indicator switches off. The indicator also
flashes when the ECP is being called from a WIP and goes steady when the call is answered at the
ECP.
8.3.3 WIP Call Buzzer
Sounds when the ECP is being called from the WIP. Buzzer switches off when the handset is picked
up or the call is terminated.
8.3.4 Zone Cleared Switch
(One switch per evacuation zone) - when pressed for the first time will cause the Green ZONE
CLEARED indicator to illuminate. Pressing the switch a second time will switch off the indicator. To
function the MECP handset must be lifted first.
8.3.5 WIP Fault Indicator (Amber)
(One indicator per WIP) - indicator flashes when a fault associated with the WIP has been detected.
Indicator goes steady upon acknowledgment.
8.4 OIS System Operation
8.4.1 WIP Calling ECP
The following is the procedure when initiating a call from a WIP to the ECP:
1. Remove the handset from the cradle at the WIP. This will cause the appropriate WIP select
indicator to flash at all ECP’s and the WIP call buzzer to sound at all ECP’s.
2. A confidence tone can be heard at the WIP.
3. The ECP which responds to the call is referred to as the controlling ECP. The call is answered
at the ECP by removing the handset from the cradle and pressing the WIP select switch which
corresponds to that WIP. A full duplex connection between the two parties is then established.
8.4.2 Conference Call
If a second WIP initiates a call, the select indicator for that WIP will flash and if the WIP select switch
corresponding to the second WIP is pressed, the select indicator for that WIP will go steady, and a
conference call between the three parties is set up. Up to 5 WIP’s can be supported in this fashion. If
a sixth WIP calls the ECP, the select switch of the sixth WIP is pressed, nothing will happen, i.e. the
