SET-UP & OPERATION
Using the Life Safety Functions
Topcat connects and responds to several important third-party life safety solutions.
1. Alert Notification
INITIATES ALERT WITH FLEXMIKE
If your building is equipped with
an alert notification system,
simultaneously holding down the
volume up and down buttons for three
seconds on the Flexmike activates the
contact closure function on Topcat.
External systems sense this contact
closure to perform a prescribed
action, notifying the appropriate
parties of a classroom alert.
3. PageFirst
MUTES CLASSROOM AUDIO SYSTEM
When the PageFirst sensor clip is
connected to an external paging
source, all audio signal is muted to
ensure paging is heard clearly.
See page 19 for installation details
2. Relay Input
MUTES CLASSROOM AUDIO SYSTEM
When Topcat is connected to a fire
alarm, audio signals going through
the unit are muted when the fire alarm
is activated to minimize distractions
from the sound of the alarm.
