10.2.2 Gaining ECS Control
When attempting to gain ECS Control, there are three things that govern whether or not ECS Control can be obtained:
1. LOC Priority.
2. LOC Lockout.
3. User profile access control.
LOC Priority
LOCs are assigned (through panel or HFSS programming of the ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM, or ECS-RVM) an LOC priority of low, normal, or
high. LOCs with a higher priority are always able to gain control from a lower priority LOC.
LOC Lockout
When LOCs are programmed to the same priority, the setting LOC lockout applies. LOC lockout will not allow an LOC to gain ECS Control
from the LOC with ECS Control until one of three things happen:
1. The LOC lockout timer expires. Once the LOC lockout timer expires, an attempt to gain ECS Control can be made again.
NOTE: The lockout timer must be programmed to expire sometime other than Never.
2. The user at the second LOC requests ECS Control from the LOC with ECS Control and that LOC grants the request. (See
Section 10.2.7). If the ECS lockout timer expires while an ECS Control request is in progress, the system will automatically pass ECS
Control to the requesting LOC.
3. The user at the second LOC enters an access code with the ECS Super User profile option.
The LOC lockout timer can be set between immediate and 12 hours in increments of 1 second or it can be set to never expire. The default set-
ting is 30 seconds. The LOC lockout timer is restarted upon any key press at the LOC with ECS control. The LOC lockout timer is cleared
when ECS Control is relinquished.
User Profile Access Control
The user will need to enter an access code containing the ECS Control Request or ECS Super User profile option to gain ECS Control. ECS
Control Request and ECS Super User profile options will be mutually exclusive to the system. If the access code has ECS Super User, the
ECS Control Request is ignored and activations by that user are always as ECS Super User. Only a panel administrator can assign profile
options to users. Refer to Section 9.2.1 for more information on panel users.
10.2.3 Manual ECS
After gaining ECS control, you can activate the emergency system and use emergency paging. Once an emergency event has been activated,
the panel enters a manual ECS state. In this state, all points programmed for ECS alarms that are currently in alarm are changed to active.
The display status screen reflects this when viewing the system for status. Any outputs that were activated by the programmed ECS alarm
