5.1 SIGNALLING OF OPERATING CONDITIONS

The PAW is designed to signal the diﬀ erent operating conditions as deﬁ ned below:

Idle state (ALARM, FAULT and SYS LEDs oﬀ )

Normal operating condition, with no current faults or emergencies.

Alarm Status (ALARM LED on) Operating condition signalling the presence of at least one alarm signal, either pre-recorded or live, in at least one output zone.

Faulty status (FAULT LED on) Operating condition signalling the presence of at least one fault detected by the internal diagnostic system, with the relevant LED turning on.

System failure (SYS LED on) Operating condition signalling that the system has crashed due to temporary or permanent CPU malfunctioning, detected by the watchdog device.

Automatic Emergency (Display showing ‘AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY’ with active zones) Sequence of operations recalled by an external peripheral unit connected to the control inputs that, depending on how these are programmed, activates the Alarm Status or resets the alarms.

Manual Emergency (LED of the EMERGENCY button steady ON or ﬂ ashing) Procedure of action on the system manual controls by an authorised operator, in order to activate emergency sources. Operations in the Manual Emergency mode have priority over those activated in the Automatic Emergency mode.

6. DEFINITIONS

BGM source (Background Music)

One of the audio sources that can occupy the “Music” ampliﬁ cation channel.

PA source (Public Address)

One of the audio sources that can occupy the “Voice” ampliﬁ cation channel for service announcements.

Emergency Source

One of the audio sources that can occupy the “Voice” and/or “Music” channels for voice emergency announcements (prerecorded messages announcing an Alert and/or Evacuation, live messages from the local microphone, a call from a remote emergency microphone station).

8.7 CRITERIA FOR MANAGING PRIORITIES IN EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

THE SYSTEM MANAGES EMERGENCY CONDITIONS ON THE BASIS OF TWO CRITERIA:

8.7.1 MANAGEMENT OF PRIORITIES ON THE BASIS OF HOW EMERGENCIES ARE ACTIVATED

There are two possible types of activation:

MANUAL EMERGENCY: emergency state activated by the operator by means of the LED pushbutton on the card-cage local controls or on the emergency microphone stations.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY: emergency state activated from control inputs.

Depending on the management system, it is possible that only one operator can activate a MANUAL EMERGENCY; in this case, the local controls of the card-cages have maximum priority. In a system with more than one card-cage, the ﬁ rst card-cage to activate the emergency has priority.

The emergency stations follow in the order of priorities, on the basis of the level set on the base itself.

The AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY condition, on the other hand, is always in addition to the MANUAL EMERGENCY, if any, and, if necessary, it can be excluded by the latter.

8.7.2 MANAGEMENT OF PRIORITIES OF ALARM MESSAGES

When diﬀ erent alarm messages are called up on a given zone from diﬀ erent sources (local controls, remote microphone stations, control inputs and remote card-cages), the system will choose the message to be sent out depending on how the priorities are managed. The order of priority is indicated below, starting from the highest priority down to the lowest:

1. Handsfree messages from a local unit/ remote station / remote control unit (in this case all pre-recorded messages will be muted).

2. EVACUATION message (message 1) activated by a MANUAL EMERGENCY.

3. ALERT message (message 2) activated by a MANUAL EMERGENCY.

4. Message 1 activated by an AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY.

5. Mess

6. Message 2 activated by an AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY.

7. Messages numbered from 3 to 8 in this order, with the ALERT attribute activated by an AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY.

ages numbered from 3 to 8 in this order, with the EVAC attribute activated by an AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY.

8.8 MANUAL EMERGENCY

THE PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING EMERGENCIES IN THE MANUAL MODE (TO BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED OPERATOR) IS DESCRIBED BELOW.

8.8.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The manual emergency mode can be accessed at any time and has priority both over any pre-recorded messages under way - that may have been activated by an external peripheral unit connected to the controlled inputs (9) – and over any

emergency units able to function on the output lines from the PAW being used.

8.8.2 MANUAL MANAGEMENT OF AN EMERGENCY

The PAW enables structured management of alarm messages, of their muting and of the selection of zones, as described in greater detail below. Following is a list of operations for a fast approach to manual emergencies.

8.8.3 SENDING OUT OF A LIVE EMERGENCY NOTICE FROM THE PAW

1) Lift the safety lid and press the EMERGENCY key (5) once. It lights up steadily.

The display shows the PAW output zones. The fact that the

system has been placed in a state of emergency is shown simultaneously on any stations and PAW s present in the system.

2) To send:

A voice message > Select the desired zones and racks, then use the hand-held microphone (3) to speak, keeping the

button on its side pressed.

A pre-recorded ALERT message > Select the desired zones and racks and press ALERT.

A pre-recorded EVACUATION message > Select the desired zones and racks and press EVAC.

In both cases, the keys on the display will show the type of message being broadcast in each zone.

Note:

If the PTT key of the hand-held microphone or the ALERT or EVAC keys are pressed without selecting any zones beforehand, the message will be sent out as set at the time of system conﬁ guration (see set> RACK CONFIG. > Local emergency on page 38). The zones selected at the conﬁ guration stage are highlighted by the marker ‘>’ on the keys.

Any faulty zones or racks are shown by the yellow colour of the concerned key.

Note: A message sent via the hand-held microphone has top priority over the pre-recorded evacuation and alert messages. In the event of simultaneous selection, an EVAC message always has priority over an ALERT message.

3) To end the state of emergency, press the EMERGENCY key (5) again.

PAW5500-VES

8.8.4 SENDING OUT OF A LIVE EMERGENCY NOTICE FROM REMOTE STATIONS

1) Lift the safety lid on the station and press the EMERGENCY key once. It lights up steadily. The fact that the system has been placed in a state of emergency by the station is shown also on any other stations and

on the PAWs linked to the system (with a ﬂ ashing key).

2) Select the zones where the message should be sent.

3) Activate the EVAC message or the ALERT message by means of the appropriate button or speak through the microphone keeping the PTT key pressed until the end of the message.

Note: The PTT key has priority over any pre-recorded messages being sent out.

4) If necessary, repeat the sequence of points 2) and 3) above several times.

5) To end the state of emergency, press EMERGENCY button again.

8.8.5 EXIT OF THE SYSTEM FROM MANUAL MANAGEMENT OF AN EMERGENCY

At the end of the procedure for managing a Manual Emergency, press the red EMERGENCY key, which will extinguish and – if there is no activation taking place from external peripheral units connected to the controlled input contacts – the system will return automatically to its Idle state, displaying the MUSIC MENU.

The ALARM LED will extinguish to indicate that the VOICE ALARM has been deactivated. If, on the other hand, any of controlled inputs have been activated, the EMERGENCY button will start to ﬂ ash and the system will remain in a state of Automatic Emergency, resuming the broadcasting of the messages in the various areas, depending on how the activated inputs were programmed.

8.9 AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY ALARM STATUS ACTIVATED BY AN EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL UNIT

THE PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING AN EMERGENCY STATUS SET OFF BY AN EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL UNIT THAT ACTIVATES THE INPUT CONTACTS PROGRAMMED TO ENABLE THE “ALARM STATUS” IS DESCRIBED BELOW.

8.9.1 ACTIVATION OF AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY

In the event of activation of a programmed input contact the PAW stops its ‘Idle’ state normal activity, mutes the music being broadcast, inhibits operation of the PA sources for broadcasting announcements and shows the AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY screen, which indicates the type of message being sent out to the zones:

To see rapidly which input is activating the emergency, press the Main Menu key to return to the main panel, then go to the INSPECTION menu and select the item status> CONTROL INPUT:

8.9.2 VIEWING THE OPERATIONAL STATUS

The condition of active VOICE ALARM - live announcement via the microphone or pre-recorded message under way - is shown by the red ALARM LED lighting up on the front panel of the PAW.

8.9.3 SYSTEM OPERATION DURING AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY

As long as the input contacts remain active, the MUSIC MENU panel continues to be deactivated, however it is in any case possible to navigate through the various menus containing options for accessing advanced system functions and to inspect or change their settings. The current “Alarm Status” due to the Automatic Emergency can be changed by an authorised operator, who can take steps to activate the manual controls for managing the system emergency in order to mute the messages by holding the RESET key down for at least 2 seconds, to change those under way or to send out live announcements with the microphone.

For details concerning the Manual Emergency mode, see the appropriate section (page 44).

8.9.4 EXITING FROM AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY

Exit from an Automatic Emergency takes place when no input contact is active. The system will return to the ‘Idle State’, displaying the MUSIC MENU panel.

9. FAILURE STATUS

THE

PAW5500VES HAS DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES THAT MONITOR CONTINUOUSLY THE AVAILABILITY OF EMERGENCY

SOURCES AND THE INTEGRITY OF CRITICAL PATHS OF THE SIGNALS ENSURING SYSTEM OPERATION IN EMERGENCY CONDITIONS.

9.1 SYSTEM OPERATION AND SIGNALLING IN A GENERIC FAILURE CONDITION

• SYSTEM SIGNALLING DUE TO AN EXISTING “FAILURE CONDITION”

When the monitoring system detects a fault during the normal “Idle State” operation, it promptly activates signalling of the “Failure Condition” as follows:

- the FAULT LED lights up (visual signalling).

- sending out of a beep by the monitor speaker (acoustic signal).

- activation of the local output contacts, if programmed to send signals to an external peripheral unit.

- location of the fault (FAULT): the faulty device and the type of fault are shown on the menu pages under the item

report> FAULTS.

• SYSTEM SIGNALLING FOR RESUMPTION FOLLOWING A “FAILURE CONDITION”

If the cause of the fault no longer exists, the system resumes automatically its “Idle State”, deactivating all the above signalling and storing the information concerning the last fault. The word RESUMED is shown in the menu pages under the item report> FAULTS referred to operation of the device that was previously faulty.

• CANCELLING THE ACOUSTIC FAULT SIGNALLING AND OPERATION RESUMPTION SIGNALLING

To cancel the acoustic signalling of a current fault:

- go to the INSPECTION, OPERATOR or CONFIGURATION menus.

- press the RESET button brieﬂ y to halt the beep.

To cancel the signalling of the fault of which a report has been stored and that no longer exists (operation has been RESUMED), there must be no faults under way or the beep must already have been stopped. Therefore:

- go to the INSPECTION, OPERATOR or CONFIGURATION menus.

- press the RESET button brieﬂ y to reset all the signalling of faults after which operation has been resumed.

Note: In the event of a fault of a loudspeaker line due to a short circuit, once the line has been repaired, it is necessary to carry out a MANUAL RESET in order to re-activate the audio signal on the output of the concerned line:

- Go to the OPERATOR menu or to the CONFIGURATION menu.

- Select the report> FAULTS menu followed by >>Loudspeaker line. Then, on the ‘Fault zone impedance report’ screen,

press the RESET key and hold it down for at least two seconds

9.2 SYSTEM OPERATION AND SIGNALLING WITH A FAULT ON A LOUDSPEAKER LINE

A fault on a loudspeaker line may be due to any of several causes, such as high impedance, low impedance or a short circuit. If it is a matter of a change in the impedance, the PAW continues to send out the zone output audio signal. If, on the other hand, there is a short circuit, the system will disconnect the faulty line of the zone and continue to send out the audio signal on the other line of the same zone (if this is arranged at the time of installation).
