5.4 EWS Operation
5.4.1 General
The purpose of the Emergency Warning System is to warn the occupants at a site of an emergency
condition and facilitate an orderly evacuation, by broadcasting (both visually and aurally) emergency
warning signals to designated emergency zones according to a pre-configured sequence (phasing)
and permitting live speech into selected emergency zones.
Additional functionality is provided to manually control the broadcast of emergency warning signals,
configure delays before commencing the emergency broadcasts, silence the emergency warning
signals, disable emergency zones and test the EWS without broadcasting emergency warning signals.
5.4.2 Live Speech
The EWS can be used to broadcast live speech in automatic or manual mode. Refer to section 5.1.3.
To broadcast live speech (at any time), the emergency zones must be selected by using the ALL-
SPEECH control (refer to section 5.1.7.1)– for all emergency zones or using the individual SPEECH
controls (refer to section 5.1.12). Once the emergency zones have been selected, the PTT control on
the microphone is activated, and any audio being broadcast into the selected emergency zones is
muted, and the TALK indicator (refer section 5.1.16) is illuminated to indicate that the audio channel
is available to use. At the completion of the live speech broadcast, the PTT is released, the TALK
indicator will extinguish, and the audio broadcast into the selected emergency zones will be reinstated
to the condition prior to the live speech.
If the EWS consists of more than one EWCIE networked together, then the selection of emergency
zones can take place at multiple EWCIEs. When the PTT control on a microphone is activated, then
the REMOTE CTRL indicator (see section 5.1.14) is illuminated steady at all other EWCIE to show
that another EWCIE is in control. When the PTT control is released, the REMOTE CTRL indicator is
extinguished.
5.4.3 Automatic Operation
For the EWS to automatically respond to an emergency warning condition, the EWS must be in the
AUTOMATIC mode. In AUTOMATIC mode the green AUTO indicator is illuminated steady. Refer to
section 5.1.3
