the Remote I/O contact is activated). The outputs in question are the outputs of
the Slave Unit. The inputs may be one of the Audio Control Unit or Slave Unit
audio sources.

are displayed for routing control configuration.

143 DVA Routing
Configure the microphone button for DVA Routing. This option identifies the
button function as complex routing, i.e. when the button is pressed a route is
made that connects any desired combination of inputs to outputs. Having chosen
this option the sub-menus ‘Zoning’, ‘Control’, and ‘Clear-all’ are displayed.
Other options available:
• Not-Conf
Input is not configured
• Mic Routing
This option identifies the button function as zone selection – i.e. the button is
pressed to select an output or group of outputs to which audio (microphone) is
subsequently routed. Having chosen this option, the user then identifies which
outputs are affected. The outputs in question are the outputs of the Slave Unit.
• AllCall
This option identifies the button function as ‘select all zones’. When the button
is pressed, all outputs which have been configured as being affected by any
zone selection buttons are pre-selected – i.e. the button press has the same
effect as if all zone selection buttons on the microphone have been pressed.
Pressing a zone selection button will remove the zones associated to this
button from the selection.
• Play DVA
This option identifies the button function as ‘play DVA to selected outputs’.
When the button is pressed a route is made connecting a DVA audio source
(Slave Unit or Audio Control Unit) to outputs which have been pre-selected
using buttons configured for zone selection. Having chosen this option, the
sub-menus ‘Select DVA’, ‘Control’, and ‘Clear-all’ are offered.
• Cancel-all-DVAs
This option identifies the button function as ‘stop all DVAs’. Pressing the
button stops DVAs playing to any zone. The announcement will stop playing
immediately or play until its end depending on how the DVA is configured.
Note that contact activated DVAs, i.e., via Fire panel are not affected by the
activation of this button.
• Route Reset
The button may also be used to clear a route (reset) triggered by another
button. It is configured in the ‘Latching’ sub-menu, see item 160.
Default value:
‘Not-Conf’
L DVA Routing is only available on inputs 1 and 2.
