2. SYSTEM SUMMARY

The FS-7000 system is a combined emergency/general-purpose broadcasting system.
It is capable of automatically broadcasting the emergency evacuation messages recorded to the FS-7000EV
to areas linked to automatic fire alarm systems, as well as manually making emergency broadcasts to
specifically selected areas, either via microphone or by pre-recorded announcement.
The FS-7000EV can be recorded with 2 different messages using a connected microphone or audio playback
equipment, for example 1 message offering evacuation instructions and the other a false alarm
announcement. The combined available recording time for these 2 messages is 3 minutes.
General-purpose broadcasting from the FS-7000CP or FS-7000RM can go to specific individual areas or to
multiple areas selected as a group. General all-zone calls can be either "Normal" or "Urgency." Urgency all­zone calls are made to all areas and override speaker attenuators to deliver the broadcast at maximum
volume.
The installation of a YA-7000 within the power amplifier connected to a standby amplifier allows broadcasts to
continue uninterrupted, even in the event that the main power amplifier fails, by automatically switching the
broadcast to the standby unit.

Note

For details on setting up and using the various available functions, refer to pages 9 through 17 covering the
names and functions of each part or component.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• When moving equipment from one place to another or when installing optional components in an equipment
rack, leave all necessary work to your TOA dealer.

• Ensure that the front and rear of the component are sufficiently distant from the wall to facilitate operation
and maintenance service.

• When cleaning components, be sure to first switch off the power, then wipe with a dry cloth. If they are very
dirty, use a cloth moistened in a neutral cleanser. Never use volatile liquids, such as benzene, thinner or
chemically-treated towels, since the component surface is damaged.

FUNCTIONS & OPERATION OF EMERGENCY/GENERAL-PURPOSE BROADCASTS

6.1. Emergency Broadcasts

A system that integrates the FS-7000EV allows emergency broadcasts to be made automatically, through
connection to an automatic fire alarm system, or manually via the FS-7000CP unit in the main rack system.
When implementing an emergency broadcast, volume controls on the front panels of the FS-7006PA and FS­7012PA amplifiers are bypassed to allow broadcast of the emergency message at maximum volume.
Systems equipped with an FS-7000AT can supply 24 V DC power to the 4-wire system attenuators in order to
bypass them.

Emergency broadcasts have the highest priority.
When an emergency broadcast is activated, the following occurs:

• In the emergency broadcast area: General-purpose broadcasts* are stopped to allow the emergency

broadcast to be heard.

• Other areas: If the system has been set to a 1-channel broadcast mode, general-

purpose broadcasts are stopped.
If the system has been set to a 2-channel broadcast mode, priority
broadcasts are stopped but BGM broadcasts continue.

When an emergency broadcast ends, the following occurs:

• In the BGM broadcast area:
The broadcast does not return to its original state if the system has been set to 1-channel broadcast mode.
The broadcast returns to its original state if the system has been set to 2-channel broadcast mode.

If a priority broadcast was already in progress when an emergency broadcast is activated:

• If the broadcast was from the microphone of the FS-7000CP, then it will not be resumed.
The broadcast area must be selected again when making a microphone announcement.

• If the broadcast was from the FS-7000RM, then it will return to its original state.

• If the broadcast was a telephone paging or timer-activated automatic broadcast, the broadcast will resume if
the paging operation or timer input activation still continues.

*Refer to "Types of General-Purpose Broadcasts" explained in the following section.

6.2. General-Purpose Broadcasts

6.2.1. Types of General-Purpose Broadcasts

General-purpose broadcasts can be classified as follows, depending on the type of equipment, broadcast
priority, etc.

[Timer-activated automatic broadcasts]

When the Timer Input on the rear of the FS-7000CP receives an audio signal and a control signal from a
music play component, the broadcast is made to all zones during operation of the music play component.

[Telephone paging]

When the Paging Input on the rear of the FS-7000CP receives an audio signal and a control signal from a
telephone exchange, a paging call from a telephone set is made to all zones.

[Announcements from the FS-7000RM (with the FS-7000RF and FS-7000RM installed)]

Microphone announcements can be made to specific areas selected using the Zone Selector Keys on the FS­7000RM or FS-7010RM. Also, pressing the Chime Key on the remote microphone before making the
announcement causes the FS-7000CP's 4-tone chime to sound.

[Microphone announcements from the FS-7000CP]

Microphone announcements can be made to specific areas selected using the Zone Selector Keys on the FS­7000CP or FS-7010CP. Also, pressing the Chime Button on the FS-7000CP before making the
announcement causes the 4-tone chime to sound. Microphone announcements are broadcast after they have
been mixed with signals from the sound source equipment connected to the Auxiliary Input on the rear of the
FS-7000CP.

[BGM Broadcasts]

For systems equipped with a 2-channel power amplifier and capable of 2-channel broadcasting, the BGM
Zone Selector Keys on the FS-7000JP may be used to select broadcast areas, allowing broadcasts from the
music play component connected to the FS-7000CP's BGM input.
For systems equipped with a 1-channel power amplifier and capable of 1-channel broadcasting, the BGM
broadcast areas can be selected at the FS-7000CP or FS-7010CP.

6.2.2. BGM Broadcasts & Priority Broadcasts

If a priority broadcast is made to an area in which BGM broadcasting is in progress, the BGM broadcast is
interrupted and changed to the priority broadcast. Once the priority broadcast has finished, the original BGM
broadcast resumes immediately.

[Broadcasting to areas in which BGM broadcasting is in progress]

6.2.3. Order of Priority among Priority Broadcasts

Priority broadcasts are not broadcast all at once; rather, they are issued one at a time following a specific
order of priority, as follows.

Example: If a timer-activated automatic broadcast is in progress, only that broadcast will be performed, and

other broadcasts will not be made.

[Order of priority among the FS-7000RM units

]

When multiple FS-7000RM units are connected, the following modes are available for determining broadcast
priority among them. Select the desired mode using the Function Switch on the rear of the FS-7000RF.

• Last-in-first-out (LIFO): Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit that last selected a broadcast area.

• First-in-first-out (FIFO): Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit that first selected a broadcast area, and

broadcasts from other FS-7000RM units are not possible until that broadcast has
been finished.

• Individual: Priority is given to the FS-7000RM unit with the lowest address number.

• None: All of the FS-7000RM units that have selected a broadcast area can make

broadcasts. In this event, all of the audio signals output from all of the FS-7000RM
units will be mixed.

[When a higher-priority broadcast occurs during a priority broadcast]

• In areas with the higher-priority broadcast: The lower-priority broadcast is interrupted to allow the higher-

priority broadcast to go through.

• In other areas: If the system has been set to 1-channel broadcasting, the

general-purpose broadcast is stopped.
If the system has been set to 2-channel broadcasting, the
priority broadcast already in progress is interrupted, but BGM
broadcasts continue.

When the higher-priority broadcast is finished, other broadcasts resume as follows:

• BGM broadcasts: Return to original state.

If other high-priority broadcasts were in progress:

• Announcements from the FS-7000CP microphone resume.

• Announcements from the FS-7000RM resume.

• Telephone paging resumes if the paging is still being operated.

6.2.4. "Normal" Mode and "Urgency" Mode All-Zone Calls

All-zone calls originating from the FS-7000CP or FS-7000RM are available in 2 modes: "Normal" and
"Urgency." For the FS-7000CP, set the desired all-zone call mode using the All-Zone Call Mode Selector
Switch on its rear panel, and for the FS-7000RM, use the Function Switch on the rear of the FS-7000RF. All
all-zone call* broadcasts will be made using whichever mode has been set.

• Normal Mode: Broadcast volume can be controlled by the attenuator.

• Urgency Mode: The attenuator volume control is bypassed, allowing broadcasts in all areas to be made at
maximum volume. (This assumes installation of the FS-7000AT.)

*Announcements made using the All-Zone Call Button on the FS-7000CP or the All-Zone Call Key on the FS-

7000RM.

7.3. Recording Voice Alarm Messages

To record customized evacuation and false alarm announcements to the FS-7000EV, connect a microphone
or music play device to the Recording input terminal on the front panel of the FS-7000EV. Up to 2 messages
with a combined total duration of about 3 minutes can be recorded. Since the recording circuit is equipped
with an AGC circuitry, it is not necessary to adjust the recording level.
If the Mode Selector Switch remains in the "RECORD" or "MONITOR" position, the recorded audio message
will not be output from the broadcast audio output. Therefore, it is important to reset this switch to "NORMAL"
once recording or monitoring has finished.

[Buttons and switches used for operation]

[FS-7000EV]

7.3.1. Recording

The signal that has entered the Recording input terminal is output to the Headphone terminal only, and will not
be output through the broadcast audio output.

Note

Operating the recording function with no device connected to the Recording input terminal will record nothing,
and the previous recorded message is not erased.

Step 1. Set the Mode selector switch to "RECORD."

Step 2. Set the Input sensitivity setting switch at the desired level. Use –60 dBV (to the left) for microphone

input and –20 dBV (to the right) for all other inputs.

Step 3. Connect the microphone or CD player (or other component) to the Recording input terminal.

9. FAILURE INDICATION

The FS-7000CP, FS-7000JP, FS-7000RF, FS-7000RM, FS-7006PA, and FS-7012PA are equipped with
failure indicators that show the status of any problems that may occur. When such an indicator lights or
flashes, it means that a problem may have occurred in the equipment or in the wiring.
If the power indicator is not illuminated, the equipment could be malfunctioning. In such cases, check to see if
power is being supplied correctly, or if a fuse has blown. A blown fuse often means that the problem may have
occurred within the wiring as well as in the equipment itself.
In such cases, replace the fuse(s) and check the correctness of the wiring before turning the power on again.

If an indicator lights continuously or flashes, the following possible causes may be considered:

Is the FS-7000AT's attenuator line
indicator illuminated when attempting to
make emergency or general urgency
broadcasts?

Wait until the higher-priority broadcast
has finished and try again.

Try removing and reinserting the plug
into the recording input jack.

Set the Input sensitivity setting switch to
–60 dB (to the left) when using a
microphone and –20 dBV (to the right)
when connecting other components.

It is likely that 24 V DC power is not being
properly supplied to the attenuator.
Contact your TOA dealer to have the unit
inspected.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING

If the power will not go on, no sound is output, or other problem occurs, check the following list of
troubleshooting symptoms and solutions. If the symptoms still persist, then refer the problem to the store from
where the component was purchased.
