– IFP-2100ECS systems can support up to 15 ECS-2100LOC consoles.
• Mappable Speaker Circuits
– IFP-100ECS, IFP-300ECS, and IFP-1000ECS systems can support up to 64 mappable speaker circuits using a combination of ECS-
50W, ECS-125W, ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers and ECS-CE4 expanders.
– IFP-2000ECS and IFP-2100ECS systems can support up to 128 mappable speaker circuits using a combination of the ECS-50W,
ECS-125W, ECS-DUAL50W, and ECS-INT50W amplifiers, and ECS-CE4 expanders.
• Backup Amplifier
– ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers are capable of providing 50 watts of backed up audio power with the addition of the ECS-50WBU.
• ECS messages can be selected as priority over fire.
• Programmable trigger inputs from an external source, such as a Monaco system, to the ECS-NVCM, ECS-RVM, 5880, any SLC input
module, or Flexput module.
1.3 Terms Used in this Manual
The following terminology is used with the this system:
Term Description
ECS Emergency Communication System: The features of the control panel and accessories that provide Mass Notification
functionality as described in UL standard 2572.
FACP Fire Alarm Control Panel
LOC Local Operator's Console: The user interface for a Mass Notification System. In the Honeywell Farenhyt Series
product line, this would be the interface provided by the IFP-100ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-300ECS, IFP-2000ECS,
IFP-2100ECS, ECS-LOC, or ECS-LOC2100.
Mass Notification A way of protecting life by relaying specific event information to a building or site including voice and/or audible and
visual signals.
ECS Series When this is used in a statement, it would indicate the that statement applies to the IFP-2000ECS, IFP-1000ECS,
IFP-100ECS, IFP-300ECS, and IFP-2100ECS control panels.
ECS Device An ECS-LOC or an -5880 module that is programmed as an ECS device. These are used as inputs for triggering the
ECS on an IFP-100ECS, IFP-300ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-2000ECS, and IFP-2100ECS.
ECS Control ECS Control is a mode that all LOC units must enable to change the current state of the ECS system. ECS Control is
requested by using the ECS Control Button on LOC stations.
ECS Point An input point that is programmed to trigger an ECS event on the IFP-2000ECS or IFP-2100ECS.
ECS LOC Priority The priority level which is programmed for every ECS LOC. In order from lowest to highest, they are: Low, Normal,
High.
ECS Super User A user profile provided option that allows the user to override all ECS Control rules and gain ECS Control.
VBUS The VBUS is an analog voice bus that carries the recorded voice messages from the ECS-VCM/ECS-NVCM to the
ECS-50W, ECS-125W, or ECS-DUAL50W, or the voice messages generated from a system microphone to the ECS-
50W, ECS-125W or ECS-DUAL50W.
Module The term module is used for all hardware devices except for SLC addressable devices and notification appliances.
Main control panel Refers to the IFP-100ECS, IFP-300ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-2000ECS, or IFP-2100ECS control panel in the ECS
Series cabinet.
