When used with an Adjunct FACP, the VCP communicates the MANUAL
EVAC switch transfer by alarming an Initiating Device Circuit (IDC). The
alarmed IDC (a monitor zone) causes a General Alarm at the FACP. Activation
of this point energizes strobes or other visual devices connected to the FACP. It
also trips the City Circuit. The MANUAL EVAC switch also energizes the four
circuits on the 4003 SIGcard.
Activation of the ALL CLEAR ("Message Two") switch energizes the four
signal circuits on the 4003 SIGcard. This allows the playing of non-fire
messages without alarming the FACP. If the signal circuits at the FACP are used
as voice speaker circuits, they do not energize with the ALL CLEAR ("Message
Two") switch. For this reason, all voice circuits must be wired from the four
VCP circuits in an Adjunct application.
The VCP transfers a relay and lights the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED when any
one of the following trouble conditions occurs:
•
VTG trouble
•
Amplifier trouble
•
Master/Remote Microphone trouble
•
VCP Signal Circuit trouble
•
Message Memory trouble
•
Low Battery/ AC Power Loss trouble.
The local microphone is activated by pressing the microphone switch. When
this occurs, the speaker circuits are activated and the Chime pre-tone sounds.
The green READY-TO-TALK LED lights to indicate that live voice
announcements can be made.
A remote microphone can be added to the VCP. The remote microphone is
supervised by the VCP. A keyed switch provides security against unauthorized
use of the microphone. Pressing the microphone "Push-to Talk" switch silences
the VTG, routes the microphone, and energizes the speaker circuits. The Master
(local) Microphone has priority over the remote microphone. If both
microphones are keyed at the same time, only the Master Microphone is "on
line". A READY-TO-TALK LED illuminates on the remote microphone panel
when the microphone is "on line".
