8.8 MANUAL EMERGENCY
THE PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING EMERGENCIES IN THE MANUAL MODE (TO BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORI-
SED OPERATOR) IS DESCRIBED BELOW.
8.8.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The manual emergency mode can be accessed at any time and has priority both over any pre-recorded messages under
way - that may have been activated by an external peripheral unit connected to the controlled inputs (9) – and over any
emergency units able to function on the output lines from the VAIE being used.
8.8.2 MANUAL MANAGEMENT OF AN EMERGENCY
The VAIE enables structured management of alarm messages, of their muting and of the selection of zones, as described in
greater detail below. Following is a list of operations for a fast approach to manual emergencies.
8.8.3 SENDING OUT OF A LIVE EMERGENCY NOTICE
FROM THE VAIE
1) Lift the safety lid and press the EMERGENCY key (5) once.
It lights up steadily.
The display shows the VAIE output zones. The fact that the
system has been placed in a state of emergency is shown
simultaneously on any stations and VAIEs present in the
system.
2) To send:
A voice message > Select the desired zones and racks, then use the hand-held microphone (3) to speak, keeping the
button on its side pressed.
A pre-recorded ALERT message > Select the desired zones and racks and press ALERT.
A pre-recorded EVACUATION message > Select the desired zones and racks and press EVAC.
In both cases, the keys on the display will show the type of message being broadcast in each zone.
Note:
If the PTT key of the hand-held microphone or the ALERT or EVAC keys are pressed without selecting any zones beforehand,
the message will be sent out as set at the time of system confi guration (see set> RACK CONFIG. > Local emergency on
page 37). The zones selected at the confi guration stage are highlighted by the marker '>' on the keys.
Any faulty zones or racks are shown by the yellow colour of the concerned key.
Note:
A message sent via the hand-held microphone has top priority over the pre-recorded evacuation and alert messages.
In the event of simultaneous selection, an EVAC message always has priority over an ALERT message.
3) To end the state of emergency, press the EMERGENCY key (5) again.
