EVS Super User

10.2.9 Relinquish EVS Control
Relinquishing EVS Control is accomplished by pressing the EVS Control Key from within Message Mode. A screen will be displayed to
ensure the user wants to relinquish EVS Control. EVS Control will be automatically relinquished after a time-out on this screen. When EVS
Control is relinquished, the system stays in the Manual EVS State. EVS Control can then be gained by another LOC or again at the same
LOC.
10.2.10 EVS Reset
An EVS reset is accomplished by pressing the RESET button from an LOC. The user will be prompted to reset either the fire system or
emergency system. After an EVS reset, the LOC will automatically exit the LOC EVS interface.
NOTE: In order to perform an EVS reset, the display must be associated with the EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM. Refer to Figure 10.6.2.
10.3 EVS Super User
The EVS Super User access code profile function provides the ability to override all EVS Control rules and gain EVS Control. The EVS
Super User is the highest priority user in the system. The EVS Super User has several features that differ from the normal user:
1. Any alarm activated while under EVS Super User Control needs to be reset using an EVS Super User function enabled access code.
2. LOC priority and LOC lockout timer are ignored when passing EVS Control between EVS Super Users at LOC consoles. If another
EVS Super User attempts to gain EVS Control from an LOC, an EVS Control request is presented to the EVS Super User at the LOC
that currently has EVS Control.

10.4 EVS Point Functionality

Any input point in the system can be configured as an EVS input. The Point EVS 1-8 Alarm input types can be used to trigger predetermined
EVS events for output areas. EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM points can be programmed to trigger Voice Aux events that can allow external audio
to be played through the emergency system.
10.4.1 EVS Point Activations
EVS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the system is not in Manual EVS State. EVS points have no priority
and all are allowed to be activated. If the EVS point is a higher priority than the Fire System, then the system will play the highest event mes-
sage through all EVS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point Alarm has message 1 mapped
to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing through groups 2 and 3. If a point for Emergency 1 Point Alarm
and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are both active, the system will play message 1 through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual EVS State is active, points in Alarm state switch to an Active state. When the points are changed to the Active state, they do
not activate any system mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated while in Manual EVS are also placed into the Active
state and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The system idle screen will show an EVS Alarm for any points in the Active state, and the
detailed description of the point will show the point as Active.
After an EVS Reset, any EVS points that are still active will again be put into Alarm.
10.4.2 EVS-VCM and EVS-RVM Points
The EVS-VCM and EVS-RVM modules contain two programmable input points. These can be programmed as any conventional switch
input type. These also have the ability to be programmed as a trigger for bringing external audio into the system. These special point types
are: EVS Voice Aux In 1-4 Alarm, Voice Aux In 1-2 Status, Background Music. When activated if the event has the highest Event Priority of
all activated events, it will activate the Aux In input to all outputs defined by the respective event program mapping.
NOTE: Background Music is only allowed to be mapped to circuit 8 of the EVS-100W amplifiers to ensure correct active supervision.
