4.12.4 Speaker Control Mode
ACM-24AT boards provide a Speaker Control Mode for use with XPIQ or
control modules. This is available for the following panels: AFP-300/AFP-400,
AFC-600, NFS-640, NFS-3030, NCA, and AM2020/AFP1010. Note: The
XPIQ can only support up to four channels.
The board switches are grouped depending on the number of channels, so that
the number of switches per group equals the number of channels enabled on the
XPIQ. This enables the ACS to control operation of groups of multi-channels
mapped to groups of multiple speakers. Within a group, channels have priority
and only one channel can output its contents on the speaker circuit. Pressing a
switch in a group has the following effects:
1. If there are no lit LEDs in the group, the output of the channel will be
directed to the speaker circuit, and the point-active LED at that switch will
flash.
2. If the LED is unlit but other outputs within the group are active, the
other outputs will be deactivated and their LEDs will turn off. If the output
of a particular LED cannot be deactivated (due to panel programming
choices, for example), that LED will turn on steady.
3. If the LED is lit steady, the output will be deactivated, and the point-
active LED will turn off.
4. If the LED was flashing, the output will be turned off, the LED will turn
off, the next highest-priority LED within the same group will begin to
flash.
For example, in a system with three channels and four speakers, where channel
one has higher priority than channel two, which has higher priority than channel
three, the system would be set up with one ACM-24AT board, and DIP SW32
on the ACM-24AT would be set as follows:
•SW32-2 OFF
• SW32-3 ON
•SW32-4 OFF
In this example, point mappings are as shown the “3 Switches per Group”
section of Table 4-3. If Switch 8 were pressed with no lit LEDs in the group, the
output of Channel 2 would be directed to speaker circuit 3, and the point-active
LED at switch P8 would flash.
Configuring Switch Groups
Annunciator switches can be set in groups from one-point up to eight-points. If
selecting 5-point or 7-point groups, note that there will be some unused
switches; any unused points should be programmed as monitor points.
Configure Speaker Control Mode with DIP switch SW32-2, SW32-3, and
SW32-4 according to the point assignments shown in Table 4-2.
