ALL SPEAKERS TALK SWITCH
This switch, in the UP position, activates all speaker circuits, routes them to Channel 2 (ALERT), and connects the
mike to any active EVAC speaker circuits. If this switch is activated while the Evacuation tone/message is playing,
the tone/message will continue to play until the Mike Talk Switch is pushed. Pushing this switch to the DOWN
position turns OFF the active speaker circuits. If any speakers circuits were ON as a result of the alarm condition,
they will not be affected. The LED (green) tracks the switch to indicate when speaker circuits are turned ON.
NOTE:
To use the microphone during non-alarm conditions, the
ALL SPEAKERS TALK
switch or individual
Speaker Select Switches must be activated in Channel 2. They must be manually turned OFF as required.
LOCAL SPEAKER ALERT SWITCH
Turning the LOCAL SPEAKER ALERT Switch ON (UP) allows any message playing on Channel 2 to be heard over
the local panel speaker. Turning this switch OFF (DOWN) turns OFF the local panel speaker, although any tone/
message continues to be heard on selected speaker circuits. If the LOCAL SPEAKER EVAC Switch is activated,
followed by the LOCAL SPEAKER ALERT Switch, the ALERT function has priority. The LED (green) will be ON
when the LOCAL SPEAKER ALERT Switch is ON.
LOCAL SPEAKER EVAC SWITCH
Turning the LOCAL SPEAKER EVAC Switch ON (UP) allows any message playing on Channel 1 to be heard over
the local panel speaker. Turning this switch OFF (DOWN) turns OFF the local panel speaker. If the LOCAL
SPEAKER ALERT Switch is activated, followed by the LOCAL SPEAKER EVAC Switch, the EVAC function has
priority. The LED (green) will be ON when the LOCAL SPEAKER EVAC Switch is ON.
OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS
Optional functions are available to enhance the operation of your audio communication system. These features may
be custom programmed to meet your operational requirements. These optional functions are provided by your local
Simplex Branch Office.
l Drill Switch
- This option is used to play a drill message on manually-selected speaker circuits. When this
switch is placed in the UP position, the Drill Message is played. When this switch is placed in the DOWN
position, the Drill Message is silenced. The associated LED tracks the Drill Message status, if programmed.
l All Clear Switch
- When programmed, this switch plays the All Clear Message on manually-selected
speaker circuits. When this switch is placed in the UP position, the All Clear Message is played. When this
switch is placed in the DOWN position, the All Clear Message is silenced. The associated LED tracks the All
Clear Message status, if programmed.
l Aux Message Switch
- When programmed, this switch plays optional tones/messages on manually-
selected speaker circuits. When this switch is placed in the UP position, the tone/message is played. When
this switch is placed in the DOWN position, the tone/message is silenced. The associated LED tracks the tone/
message status, if programmed. A special program can be written to allow this switch to activate the message
and turn ON all desired speaker circuits.
l Phone Paging Switch
- When programmed, this switch is used to connect the firefighter’s phone line to the
ALERT channel. Placing this switch in the UP position is the same as keying the microphone. Placing this
switch in the DOWN position, disconnects the firefighter’s phone line from the ALERT channel. The LED is ON
when the phone line is connected to the ALERT channel.
NOTE:
If the Phone Paging Switch is activated while a microphone is keyed, the Master Microphone has
priority, followed by Remote Microphone No.1, Remote Microphone No.2, and finally the phone.
* Manual Audio Override Switch
- Activation of this switch causes a system trouble to occur because it stops
all future automatically generated tones/messages from playing. However, it does not silence any tone/
message which is in progress. The associated yellow LED is ON when the switch is in the override state (UP
position).
