Alarm message selection is via DIP switch settings on the 4003 Voice Controller 
Assembly.  The host FACP activates its Notification Appliance Circuits and 
initiates the alarm at the VCP.  The Voice Controller generates the selected 
alarm message and routes it to the amplifier.  For "Adjunct" operation, an 
Initiating Device Circuit is required to supervise trouble conditions associated 
with the Voice Controller Assembly, Amplifier Board Assembly, 4003 SIGcard, 
and Power Supply.  These and all normal audio card troubles map to an on-board 
relay.  Activation of this relay causes an Open Circuit trouble on the host 
monitor zone.  Activation of the Manual EVAC switch causes an alarm on the 
host monitor zone.  This alarm must energize all signal circuits in the host 
FACP.  The VCP plays the alarm message and activates the 4003 SIGcard 
points. 
 
 
For stand-alone paging applications, the 4003 VCP provides manual control for 
microphone announcements or pre-recorded messages.  Digitized messages are 
played using the "Manual EVAC" or "Message Two" switches.  The microphone 
is used to make live announcements.  The trouble output activates on any card 
trouble status, allowing field wiring of an IDC.  Connection of an IDC allows a 
separately-mounted FACP to monitor for trouble conditions.
