S-Button Mode This parameter applies to both ETA and DBD dispatching modes. It
specifies voice unit floor and direction announcements as follows:
• Always announce floors and directions.
• Announce floors and directions when the S-Button is triggered or when a special access
call is answered. Otherwise, announce direction only.
• Announce floors and directions when the S-Button is triggered or when a special access
call is answered. Otherwise, no announcements are made.
Silent mode
• Enable: When checked, silent mode is enabled and can be turned ON or OFF manually via
the Enable / Disable button or via group timer table or iMonitor control.
• Disable car sounds: Car sounds (car gongs, passing floor gongs and voice messages) are
disabled when Silent mode is ON.
The CE MicroComm bus has a single flag to drive both the car lanterns and gongs and a
single mechanism to enable the special messages display and voice announcements.
Therefore, setting the “Disable Car Sounds” option will also disable car lanterns and
special messages display for serial fixtures.
To facilitate a work-around, a discrete MOR output (Silent Mode) has been added. Use
this output to cut power to the MGONG unit if it is desired to disable the car gongs only,
and/or cut power to the voice unit if it is desired to disable the special messages
announcements and keep the corresponding text messages. In this case the “Disable Car
Sounds” option must remain unchecked.
• Disable hall sounds: Hall sounds (hall gongs) are disabled when Silent mode is ON.
• Status: The LED indicates the status of Silent mode (ON or OFF). Use the Activate / Deac-
tivate button to manually turn Silent mode ON or OFF or use a group timer table (System
> View > Configuration Tabs > Timer Tables) or iMonitor control.
