2. PATTERNS
In the VX-2000 system, patterns of broadcast settings and operation controls are created using its dedicated
PC software, and are assigned to Activation Items (such as the Remote Microphone function keys, control
input, and internal timer). Broadcasts can be made and control functions performed by recalling assigned
patterns using the Remote Microphone function keys or control input operation, or activation by way of the
internal timer. Use the PC software to create and assign patterns to the Activation Items.
2.1. Emergency Broadcast Patterns
The emergency broadcast patterns include emergency EV messages and their corresponding broadcast
zones. Use the PC software to create the emergency broadcast patterns. For details, refer to
p. 7-39.
Note
When 2 or more patterns are simultaneously recalled, the system operates as follows:
[Dual-origin EV Broadcasts]
• If the assigned EV messages are the same, the message is broadcast to all zones set in each of the
simultaneously recalled patterns.
• IftheassignedEVmessagesaredifferent,buttherecalledpatternoutputzonesareduplicated,themessage
assigned the highest priority is broadcast to all duplicated zones.
Example: Pattern A includes an Evacuation message (highest priority) output to zones 1 – 5. Pattern B
includes an Alert message output to zones 3 – 7. When both patterns are simultaneously recalled,
Pattern A is broadcast to zones 1 – 5, while Pattern B can only be broadcast to zones 6 and 7.
[Single-origin EV Broadcasts]
Broadcasts are made to every zone set in each of the simultaneously recalled zones.
