2. EMERGENCY BROADCASTS
5-5
In the following example, 2 EV-200 units are installed in the VX-2000 to provide dual-origin Emergency
broadcasts. Different messages can be simultaneously broadcast to individual zones with the use of 2 EV units.
An Alert message is recorded in EV-1, and an Evacuation message is recorded in EV-2.
[Alert and evacuation message examples]
Alert Message: The fire alarm system has been engaged. We are now checking the cause.
Please wait for further information.
Evacuation Message: There is a fire. Please evacuate immediately.
[Pattern setting]
Up to 50 Emergency broadcast patterns can be set for each of Alert and Evacuation messages when 2 EV-
200 units are used. The created patterns are assigned to the Remote Microphone's emergency button or
control inputs. Activating the Emergency mode or receiving a fire alarm signal recalls the assigned pattern and
broadcasts the message to the set zones.
