Communications Security: Level 1
Stored Data Security: Level 0
Physical Security: Level 1
Access Control: Level 1
11.2.4 Voice Control Centers
The primary solution for controlling and activating voice messages on a Simplex fire alarm network is utilizing the standard 4100ES LED
and Switch user interface along with a microphone for live voice announcements.
In the example below the operator first selects the destination for a message on the left and then selects the audio source or pre-recorded
message to play on the right.
In a system with multiple voice command centers a take control button with an in-control indicator would also be appropriate to configure
on your annunciator with microphone.
The 4100ES and 4120 network support a variety of programmable options for utilizing prioritization and request/cancel procedures for
taking control of the system. This feature prevents operators from interfering with each other in a system with multiple command centers.
In some cases different colored peripherals or boxes are specified for Mass Notification. Contact sales engineering for information on
meeting these requirements.
The Automatic Alert Tone is programmable feature in the 4100 panel. You can create a message or use a pre-recorded message. You must
set it for 1 to 3 seconds. The 4100 panel can initiate a recorded message. If a previously initiated recorded message is interrupted by a
live voice instructions, the previously initiated recorded messages can be used in the selected notification zones when you release the
microphone. This feature also has the option to not resume play automatically.
