Voice Control
Centers
The primary solution for controlling and activating voice messages on a Simplex fire alarm
network is utilizing the standard 4100ES LED and Switch user interface along with a
microphone for live voice announcements.
In the example below the operator first selects the destination for a message on the left and then
selects the audio source or pre-recorded message to play on the right.
Figure 10-2. Voice Message Configuration Example
In a system with multiple voice command centers a take control button with an in-control
indicator would also be appropriate to configure on your annunciator with microphone.
The 4100ES and 4120 network support a variety of programmable options for utilizing
prioritization and request/cancel procedures for taking control of the system. This feature
prevents operators from interfering with each other in a system with multiple command
centers.
In some cases different colored peripherals or boxes are specified for Mass Notification.
Contact sales engineering for information on meeting these requirements.
Configuration
Limitations
A 4100ES is not UL Listed for Background Music/General Paging or Security when
configured for MNS, because the UL testing did not include these services in the test scope.
Note: The TrueSite Workstation is not listed for UL 2017 operation. The TSW functionality must be limited to
remote annunciator active when used for MNS operations.
