Central Control Station (CCS)

2.3 Central Control Station (CCS)
2.3.1 Description
A Central Control Station (CCS) is a system component with emergency communication and control that is used in conjunction with one
or more ACUs in a mass notification system. The priority of a CCS will be lower than that of an ACU or LOC in the MN/fire system.
ONYXWorks Workstation
The ONYXWorks workstation (in FCC mode, with the NOTIFY-IP option) displays events and status of the MN and fire systems from
any ACU located on Noti•Fire•Net. It provides three paging levels - Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 - which may be assigned to MN, fire,
or general paging for prioritization based on site-specific requirements. A page at the MN level will create a latching MN alarm condi-
tion that requires acknowledgment and reset. The workstation supports All Call paging when priority allows. An MN page from a CCS
must be an ALL CALL page.
The ONYXWorks workstation has the capability to acknowledge, silence, and reset events (MN and fire) in the system. MN events can
be acknowledged, silenced or reset only by an active MN command center. Control of acknowledge, silence and reset functions is indi-
cated for an active ONYXWorks Workstation by the absence of red lockout icons in paging zones and control buttons. All other Controls
Active LEDs in the system are extinguished, and red lockout icons appear in paging zones and control buttons of non-active ONYX-
Works Workstation; acknowledge, silence and reset functions are blocked until the MN alarm is cleared.
In the event both MN and fire are active in the system, the reset control will reset only the highest priority type event. A second reset is
required to reset lower-priority type events. The acknowledge control acknowledges all troubles and supervisories for MN and fire. Fire
alarms and MN alarms are acknowledged one-by-one, based on highest priority events.
A total of 15 ONYXWorks workstations may participate in paging on a mass notification system.
NCA-2 with DVC
The NCA-2 displays and annunciates fire and MN events and status for the monitored points in each of the ACUs and LOCs in the sys-
tem. It also provides acknowledge, silence, and reset capabilities. Alarm, supervisory and trouble events are acknowledged and reset
using the same acknowledge and reset buttons. The reset control resets only the highest priority active event type in the system. A second
reset is required to reset lower-priority type events. The acknowledge control block acknowledges all troubles and supervisories for MN
and fire. Fire alarms and MN alarms are acknowledged one-by-one, based on highest priority events.
The DVC (in CCS mode) provides the audio functions of the CCS. It provides three paging levels - Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 - which
may be assigned to MN, fire, or general paging for prioritization based on site-specific requirements. A page at the MN level will create
a latching MN alarm condition that requires acknowledgment and reset. Multiple CCS locations can be prioritized in hierarchical levels
by adjusting the priority level of the local microphone input. The CCS supports All Call paging when priority allows. MN pages from a
CCS must be All Call pages.
MN events can be acknowledged, silenced or reset only by an active MN command center. When the CCS gains control of acknowledge,
silence and reset functions in an MN system, control is indicated by a lit Controls Active LED at the CCS. All other Controls Active
LEDs in the system are extinguished, red lockout icons appear in ONYXWorks Workstation paging zones and the acknowledge, silence,
and reset control buttons; acknowledge, silence and reset functions are blocked until the MN alarm is cleared.
2.3.2 Configurations
The following two equipment combinations can meet the requirements for CCS functionality in an MN system when combined with MN
priority programming:
• An ONYXWorks workstation.
• An NFS2-3030 (in network display mode) or NCA-2 combined with a DVC and its local microphone. For this combination, a
DVC-KD, ACM-24AT, or AEM-24AT LED point must be programmed as a dedicated visual indicator of an MN alarm.
