User Profile Access Control

The user will need to enter an access code containing the EVS Control Request or EVS Super User profile option to gain EVS Control.
EVS Control Request and EVS Super User profile options will be mutually exclusive to the system. If the access code has EVS Super
User, the EVS Control Request is ignored and activations by that user are always as EVS Super User.
11.2.3 Manual EVS
After gaining EVS Control the system enters the LOC EVS interface which allows you to activate the Emergency System and allows for
Emergency Paging. Once an emergency event has been activated the panel enters a Manual EVS State. In this state, all EVS Alarm pro-
grammed points that are currently in alarm in the system are changed to an active state. The display status screen reflects this when view-
ing the system for status. Any outputs that were activated by the EVS Alarm programmed points are deactivated until Manual EVS state
is exited. Only an EVS Reset can exit the Manual EVS State. If a user gains EVS Control at an LOC and does not activate an EVS mes-
sage, the system will automatically generate an EVS Supervisory indicating such. This prevents an LOC from being in an undesired state
of EVS Control when an actual event emerges.
There are two modes for interacting with the LOC EVS interface when in Manual EVS State:
1.
Message Mode
2.
Microphone Mode
These two modes allow you to quickly toggle areas of output for a desired message or to speak to a microphone for EVS Paging.
After gaining EVS Control, the system is in Message Mode of the Manual EVS State.

Switching between Microphone Mode and Message Mode

At any time while in EVS Control, you can switch between Microphone Mode and Message Mode. Microphone Mode is entered by sim-
ply engaging the microphone.
1.
Message Mode: Use the EVS Message keys to toggle which message/event to output to the system. Use the Select Keys to toggle
output areas to play the current EVS Message in. The Select Key's red LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the
area is now receiving the message. Any non-voice groups assigned to this Select Key will also toggle with their Activation
Cadence. See the SectionActivating Output Groups Dynamically.
2.
Microphone Mode: Use the Select Keys while the microphone is active to toggle which areas to do an EVS Microphone Page to.
The Select Key's green LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the EVS Microphone Page to the area.

Activating Output Groups Dynamically

This method allows the system to be setup with minimal or no system mapping. When in Manual EVS State and operating in Message
Mode the user can dynamically activate/deactivate output areas for system notification to take place in. The Select Key red LED will
become lit and the circuits in the output group(s) will become active and play the currently active EVS event message when activated.
When deactivated, the Select Key red LED will become unlit and the circuits in the output group(s) will become inactive. Non-voice out-
put groups can also be assigned to Select Keys and will toggle on/off using the activation cadence assigned to it in output group pro-
gramming. This is available in the panel and in HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite. See Section .
11.2.4 Microphone Mode
Microphone Mode allows the user to press the Select Keys to toggle which output areas to speak to over the microphone. The green
LEDs next to the Select Keys will activate or deactivate.
11.2.5 Message Mode
In Message Mode, the user is able to press the EVS Message Keys to choose a message and press the Select Keys to activate or deacti-
vate which output areas the message will be played. This will activate or deactivate the green and red LEDs next to the EVS Message
Keys and the red LEDs next to the Select Keys.
11.2.6 Custom EVS Event
Custom EVS events allows the user to generate an EVS event and speak a custom message using the microphone. Once the user is done
speaking the message, the tone and any associated strobes will continue to be active in the output areas.
To generate a Custom EVS Event:
1.
Gain EVS Control using the EVS Control Key when there is not an active Manual EVS State Event.
2.
Activate the microphone.
3.
Choose desired output areas using the Select Keys.
4.
Speak custom message into microphone.
