11.2.7 Passing ECS Control
Passing of ECS Control is allowed when two LOCs have the same priority. When it is possible to pass control, a prompt (similar to
Figure 11.2) will display in which the user can: request control from the LOC with ECS Control, enter an access code with the ECS
Super User profile option to override the other LOC, or wait for the lockout timer to expire (if applicable).
When passing ECS Control between two ECS Super Users, the user is not shown the prompt screen. Instead, a request for ECS Control
is automatically made. Additionally, the lockout timer does not apply for ECS Super User.
When a request for ECS Control is made, the LOC with ECS Control will be shown a screen indicating that another LOC is requesting
ECS Control See Figure 11.3.
Once ECS Control is passed to another LOC, the new user will assume the system AS IS. This means that the event that was set to be
playing at the previous LOC and all output areas it was playing in do not change.
11.2.8 Exit ECS Control Menu
The user can exit the LOC ECS interface by pressing the left arrow. The user will be returned to the idle screen.
11.2.9 Relinquish ECS Control
Relinquishing ECS Control is accomplished by pressing the ECS Control Key from within Message Mode. A screen will be displayed
(See Figure 11.4) to ensure the user wants to relinquish ECS Control. ECS Control will be automatically relinquished after a time-out on
this screen. When ECS Control is relinquished, the system stays in the Manual ECS State. ECS Control can then be gained by another
LOC or again at the same LOC.
11.2.10 ECS Reset
An ECS reset is accomplished by pressing the RESET button from an LOC. The user will be prompted to reset either the fire system or
emergency system. After an ECS reset, the LOC will automatically exit the LOC ECS interface.
NOTE: In order to perform an ECS reset, the display must be associated with the ECS-VCM, ECS- or ECS-RVM. See Section Figure 11.6.2

11.3 ECS Super User

The ECS Super User access code profile function provides the ability to override all ECS Control rules and gain ECS Control. The ECS
Super User is the highest priority user in the system. The ECS Super User has several features that differ from the normal user:
1. Any alarm activated while under ECS Super User Control needs to be reset using an ECS Super User function enabled access code.
2. LOC priority and LOC lockout timer are ignored when passing ECS Control between ECS Super Users at LOCs. If another ECS
Super User attempts to gain ECS Control from an LOC, an ECS Control request is presented to the ECS Super User at the LOC that
currently has ECS Control.
