2. EMERGENCY BROADCASTS
Emergency broadcasts are broadly divided into two types: Emergency EV message (Alert and Evacuation
messages) broadcast and Emergency Remote Microphone (RM-200XF and RM-200X) broadcasts.
• Emergency EV message broadcasts include dual-origin EV broadcasts and single-origin EV broadcasts,
depending on the number of EV-200 units installed in the VX-2000.
• SetanemergencybroadcastpatternconsistingofanemergencyEVmessageandcorrespondingbroadcast
zones, and assign the set pattern to the Remote Microphone's function key or control input. When the
emergency mode is activated by way of the Emergency activation button or a control signal from the fire
alarm system, the assigned emergency broadcast pattern is recalled and used for the broadcast.
