1: Adding An Loc; 2: Editing An Loc; Loc Priority; Loc Association - Honeywell Farenhyt Series Installation And Operation Manual

11.6.1 Adding an LOC
To add new ECS hardware modules to the system, follow these steps:
You must be in the Main Menu to perform this task.
1. Enter the installer code.
2. Select 7 for Program Menu.
3. Press 1 to enter module menu.
4. Press 2 to add a module.
5. From the next screen, add either an ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM* or ECS-RVM**.
* Only 1 ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM may be installed per site.
** Up to 15 ECS-RVMs may be installed per site.
The screen will display "Adding module [#]..." for a few moments. You will be returned to the <New Module Type> screen where
you can select a name for the module if desired.
6. Add a LCD Annunciator, if desired, to associate with each ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-RVM
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.
NOTE: 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
Program Menu). When the new module is attached, the trouble will correct itself automatically the next time you power up the system.
11.6.2 Editing an LOC
Settings that are specific to an LOC are modified by editing the ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-RVM expander module of the LOC.
These options may include: number of switch expanders installed, microphone type, microphone gain, auxiliary gain, tone gain, message
gain, keypad priority, port 1 used, port 2 used, select switch, panel, network paging and associated keypad.
NOTE: An LOC specific name can also be editing using HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite.
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.

LOC Priority

Each device is assigned a Priority level: Low, Normal, or High. This is modified by editing the LOC's ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-
RVM module. By default, the ECS-VCM and ECS-NVCM has a high LOC priority. The ECS-RVM is defaulted to normal LOC priority.

LOC Association

In order to created an LOC, an annunciator must be associated to an ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-RVM. This done by editing the
ECS-VCM, ECS-NVCM or ECS-RVM module and selecting the correct annunciator for the associated device. During JumpStart, the
ECS-VCM or ECS-NVCM is automatically associated with the internal annunciator. The association for other LOCs in the system must
be performed in programming.

11.7 Using the Microphone

11.7.1 Microphone Functionality
Each microphone in the system is capable of providing convenience, fire or emergency paging. A convenience or fire page can be made
anytime the emergency system does have System Control (see Section 10.5.1). When the emergency system has been activated and has
System Control, the user must gain ECS Control to do an emergency page.
The microphones are housed within the ECS-Series panel enclosure and the ECS-LOC/ECS-RPU cabinets. A maximum of eight micro-
phones can be installed in the system.
11.7.2 Custom ECS Event
This event is activated by gaining ECS Control at a LOC and using the microphone without any ECS event already active in the Manual
ECS State. In this case, the Mic Triggered ECS Alarm mapping and General ECS Alarm mapping will be activated and stay activated
until a different ECS event is activated at the LOC or the user resets the Emergency Communication System.
11.7.3 Fire Page
A fire page can only occur when:
1. Only the fire system is active.
