The Mute input is a special input, which mutes even fire microphones if needed. For this purpose its priority
is set to ‘0’ by default. However, the mute input is configurable, so it is possible to mute just DVAs, and/or
any other inputs on a priority basis.

12.1 Mute Input Emergency Class Configuration
The Emergency Class is only relevant in networked units, and is used by the ACU and Fire Microphones
connected to an ACU to indicate the emergency DVA message status of the zone group configured for a
zone select button via its red and green LEDs. See Section “10.2 DVA Input Emergency Class
Configuration” for further details.
To Modify the Mute Input Emergency Class:
1. Select the Mute input.
Menu: ConfigurationÆSystemÆRouterÆInputsÆMic/LineÆI/P #10 – SLAVE MUTE
2. Modify the emergency class as required.
Menu: ConfigurationÆSystemÆRouterÆInputsÆMic/LineÆI/P #10 – SLAVE MUTEÆCtrlÆClass
On networked units, for correct indication of the emergency DVA message status on the
ACU’s front panel, as described in Section “10.2 DVA Input Emergency Class
Configuration”, the background music must be set to ‘Non Emergency’ as specified in the
system default settings.
Changes to the system default settings may result in an inappropriate indication of the
status of the zone or group of zones.
