11.4 ECS Point Functionality

Any input point in the system can be configured as an ECS input. The Point ECS 1-8 Alarm input types can be used to trigger predeter-
mined ECS events for output areas. ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-RVM points can be programmed to trigger Voice Aux events that
can allow external audio to be played through the emergency system.
11.4.1 ECS Point Activations
ECS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the system is not in Manual ECS State. ECS points have no pri-
ority and all are allowed to be activated. If the ECS point is a higher priority than the Fire System, then the system will play the highest
event message through all ECS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point Alarm has message 1
mapped to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing through groups 2 and 3. If a point for Emergency 1
Point Alarm and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are both active, the system will play message 1 through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual ECS State is active, points in Alarm state switch to an Active state. When the points are changed to the Active state, they
do not activate any system mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated while in Manual ECS are also placed into the
Active state and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The system idle screen will show an ECS Alarm for any points in the Active
state, and the detailed description of the point will show the point as Active.
After an ECS Reset, any ECS points that are still active will again be put into Alarm.
11.4.2 ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM & ECS-RVM Points
ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM and ECS-RVM modules contain two programmable input points. These also have the ability to be programmed
as a trigger for bringing external audio into the system. These special point types are: Voice Aux ECS and Voice Aux Status. When acti-
vated, if the event has the highest Event Priority of all activated events, these points will activate the Aux In input to all outputs defined
by the respective event program mapping.
NOTE: Background Music is only allowed to be mapped to circuit 8 of the ECS-DUAL50W amplifiers to ensure correct active supervision.

11.5 Amplifier Programming

11.5.1 Adding an Amplifier
To add a new AMP to the system, follow these steps:
1. Enter the installer code. The panel will automatically go to the main menu.
2. Select 7 for Panel Programming menu.
3. Press 1 to enter Module menu.
4. Press 2 to add a module.
5. From the next screen, add an ECS-AMP.
The screen will display "Adding module [#]..." for a few moments. You will be returned to the <New Module Type> screen where
you can select another a name for the module(s) if desired.
You must save changes when you exit the Program Menu or the new module will not be added. For more information see section 9.2.2.
If you Add a Module that has not been physically connected, the panel will go into trouble after it re-initializes (when you exit the Pro-
gram Menu with changes accepted). When the new module is attached, the trouble will restore automatically the next time you power up
the FACP.
11.5.2 Editing an Amplifier
When editing AMPs, the features that may be edited are: module ID, module name, Amplifier Mod, ECS-CE4 installed (Yes or No), and
output voltage. To edit an existing module:
1. Enter the installer code. The panel will automatically go to the main menu.
2. Select 7 for Program Menu.
3. Press 1 to enter module menu.
4. Press 1 to edit a module.
5. Use the up or down arrow key to select the module you wish to edit.
6. Press the right arrow key or ENTER to move to next selection.

11.6 LOC Programming

Device Priority is a programmable option for each of the ECS devices:
• ECS-VCM
• ECS-NVCM
• ECS-RVM
Each Device Priority is assigned a priority level: Low, Normal, or High.
