3.3.8 Fire Active Tone
When Fire is the highest priority in a system, a DVC must be programmed in VeriFire Tools to generate a “Fire Active Tone”. This pro-
gramming is required for two reasons:
• It generates an audible reminder every 30 seconds that Fire has control of the system and that MN signals may be suppressed.
• It suppresses MN sequences and pages that come below it in priority, until a fire reset clears the “Fire Active Tone”.
Summary of Procedures
Following are the steps involved in creating and programming an MN Active Tone.
1. Build the Fire Active Tone Audio Sequence. (See below.)
2. Assign Message Priorities. (See page 30.)
3. Create Fire Logic Zones. (See page 31.)
4. Add Fire Logic Zones to PAM Programming. (See page 31.)
Detailed Procedures
Build the Fire Active Tone Audio Sequence
Open the Audio Settings branch of VeriFire Tools DVC programming, and build the Fire Active Tone audio sequence on the Message
Sequences tab.
Figure 3.18 Creating a Fire Active Tone Sequence
NOTE: MN or OTHER sequences and pages will not be suppressed for fire alarms without the Fire Active Tone, properly prioritized in the
PAM.
1. Select and expand a sequence in the
Message Sequences Number column.
This example uses Sequence 6 Assign
the sequence an Evac message type.
2. Type “Fire Active Tone” in the Label
field.
3. Select Command File for “Play
Forever” for Sequence Step 1.
4. Select Wave File for “Active Tone” for
Sequence Step 2.
5. Select Command File for “End Play” for
Sequence Step 3.
6. Press Play Sequence to listen to and
review the sequence as a test. The
Play Forever command will play 200
times as a test, will play forever in a
non-test situation. Use the audio-player
buttons to pause and restart playback.
7. Press Save.
