COMPACT VOICE ALARM SYSTEM

Audio source type selection: Emergency, General, Service, BGM
The AutroVoice miniVES has 4 priority groups, each of the groups has 99 levels. Priorities are numbered in the reverse order:
the reman microphone in Emergency mode has the highest 0 priority the lowest priority is BGM 399.
Priority types:
Emergency, range 0-99 audio sources with the assigned priority ranged 0-99 are active only when the system is in the
Alarm Mode. The Emergency priority can only be assigned to the ABT-DFMS reman microphone, messages recorded on
memory cards and control unit audio inputs.
Service, range 100-199 can be assigned to every audio source type and does not allow matrix activation in the Alarm Mode.
A loss of the 230 V AC basic power supply does not deactivate Service-type source messages. Sources of priorities contained
within this group are subject to the Zone(s)o function.
General, range 200-299 can be assigned to zone microphones and messages. It does not operate in the alarm mode and in
case of a loss of the 230 V AC basic power supply. Sources of priorities contained within this group are subject to the Silence,
Power Save and Zone(s)o functions.
BGM, range 300-399 assigned only to audio inputs located in control units and zone microphones. BMG-priority audio
source Matrices do not operate in the alarm mode and in case of a loss of the 230 V AC basic power supply. Sources of
priorities contained within this group are subject to the Silence, Power Save and Zone(s)o functions.
As standard, the conguration software assigns arbitrarily priorities from the Emergency group, depending on
the audio source, that is:
1. For the ABT-DFMS reman microphones – the Emergency Priority NB 0-10 is the highest priority pool reserved only for
these devices.
2. Sound messages played back from system memory cards for the Emergency Priority Evacuation checkbox – these are
assigned a value ≥ 10.
3. Sound messages played back from system memory cards for the Emergency Priority Warning checkbox – these are
assigned a value ≥ 30.
4. For the remaining audio inputs on control units with a possibility of being assigned the Emergency Priority Evacuation
checkbox – these are assigned a value ≥ 20, and for the Warning option ≥ 40.

Audio source description
The Audio Input and Component items indicate specically which audio input, zone microphone, reman microphone or
message a selected priority is assigned. The Component tab informs of the location in which a given message was recorded
and will be played back from or – in case of audio inputs – species the device in which the selected input is located.

Zone retained signalling mode, Evacuation / Warning modes
Having assigned the Emergency mode to any audio source, the Warning checkbox appears in the right corner. This means
that as the initial setting for the Evacuation mode, in case of transmitting a message on a given zone, on the RGB button
diode programmed as the Select Zone of this zone, the red LED will be blinking. Ticking the checkbox is equivalent to
changing the mode to Evacuation which results in the RGB LED – the red one – being on during a message transmission.

Priority group ltering
The ltering tool enables to display all audio sources from a selected priority group. To do this, click the left mouse button
once on the All Types tab. This will result in options dropped down, then select a group and conrm activation of the lter
by clicking Apply Filters.

Coexistence type
This function denes the systems behaviour when an incoming message has superseded the message occupying this zone
at the moment. f the superseding message / audio source is dened as Continue After Ending it means that the system will
return to transmitting the previous (lower priority) message after a higher priority message has ended. If the superseding
message / audio source is dened as Remove All After Ending then after the end of the higher priority (superseding) message,
the lower priority message will not be restored.
