GLOBAL VOICE
The Emergency page operation consists of the following functions which are de-
scribed below: All Call or Global Call, Select Page, Page to Evacuation, Page to Alert,
and Page to Background Music.
All Call or Global All Call
All Call sends the emergency page message from the Live Voice Module (LVM) to all
speaker groups in the local PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 only with a single switch press. Selecting All
Call overrides All Evacuation, All Alert, All Convenience Page and All Background Music.
Global All Call sends an emergency page message from the LVM to all speaker
groups across all PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 nodes in the system.
To select All Call, follow the steps listed below.
1. Pick up the Live Voice Module.
2. Depress the All Call switch.
3. The All Call switch and All Speaker Group switch LEDs flash green.
4. Depress the key on the Live Voice Microphone
5. The All Speaker Group switch LEDs turn steady green, indicating that all
speaker groups are now turned on.
6. Once the microphone is keyed, a preannouncement tone sounds on all
speaker groups for approximately three seconds (0-10 seconds is program-
mable in Zeus).
7 . While the preannouncement tone is sounding, the Pre-Announce Tone LED
is on steady to give visual indication to the operator of what is currently
sounding.
8. When the preannouncement tone ends, the Pre-Announce Tone LED turns
off and the Ready to Page LED turns on telling the operator to proceed with
the page.
9. The operator can now speak and make the call to all speaker groups.
10. During the call, the operator can briefly (for up to five seconds) unkey and
then re-key the microphone (for example, to cough) - without re-initiating
the pre-announce tone.
11. To end the call, the operator simply unkeys and replaces the microphone.
The Ready to Page LED turns off.
12. All Speaker Group switch LEDs turn from steady green to flashing green.
13. To return the system to normal, the operator depresses the All Call switch;
otherwise, the system will automatically return to normal in approximately
1-2 minutes and turn off the All Call and Speaker Group LEDs.
This sequence of operation assumes the system is normal and no alarms exist. If there were
alarms in the system, the All Call would operate the exact same way - except that the speaker
groups that were receiving an evacuation or alert signal would be overridden by the Call.
Once the Call ends, the previously sounding evacuation or alert signals would resume on the
floors/groups that were sounding before the page.
All Call LED must be configured Red if used in Canada.
