1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to read the instructions in this section carefully before use.

• Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety symbols and messages regarded as very important precautions are included.

• We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.

Safety Symbol and Message Conventions

Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well as understand the safety symbols and messages.

When Installing the Unit

• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

When the Unit is in Use

• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the AC breaker of the main rack and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.

· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit

· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks

· If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)

· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)

• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the unit case as there are high voltage

components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or flammable materials in the ventilation slots of the unit's cover, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

When Installing the Unit

• Do not block the upper panel ventilation slots in the unit's cover. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit and result in fire.

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric shock.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Leave the installation to the shop from where the system was purchased. Also contact the shop when moving the system from one place to another or mounting additional components in the rack.

• To clean, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner or chemically-processed towel because the unit may be deformed or its finish discolored.

Lights green to indicate broadcast is being made to the corresponding floor. Lights red to indicate the speaker lines on the corresponding floor are shorted. Because the shorted speaker lines are automatically disconnected, broadcast cannot be made to that floor.

Fire floor indicator

Lights to indicate the fire floor when the PA system receives a fire signal from the fire alarm system.

Fire alarm all-zone interlock mode indicator

Lights when the fire alarm all-zone interlock mode is set.

Warning Announcement Non-interlock indicator

Lights when Warning Announcement Noninterlock mode is set. Fire detector-activated Warning Announcement is disabled when in noninterlock mode.

A fire signal tone is sounded from the remote control unit's control section when the unit is activated by the fire detector. In such cases, investigate the cause immediately and make appropriate announcements.

Group selector key

Monitor volume control

Adjusts the monitor speaker volume. The volume increases as the volume control is rotated clockwise.

Note: Emergency announcements are made at the fixed volume level regardless of the monitor volume control setting. Therefore, the volume of the emergency broadcast cannot be adjusted.

Monitor speaker

Monitors each broadcast and provides voice operation guides for emergency broadcast as well as warning tones for system malfunctions. While the PA microphone is in use, the monitor speaker is disabled to prevent feedback.

Output level meter

Indicates a signal output level. See to it that the meter indicator stays within the green area during system operation.

Liquid Crystal Display

Displays emergency broadcast operation guides, general-purpose broadcasting status, and system malfunctions.

CPU control on/off switch

Normally, set this switch to the ON position. When the CPU fails and cannot be controlled, setting the control switch to the OFF position permits only the all-zone broadcast to be made from the PA microphone.

Interlock mode key

Selects either "fire alarm interlock" or "fire alarm all-zone interlock" mode. Each depression of this key causes both modes to alternate.

Memo

Warning Announcement is always made automatically by being activated by a fire detector.

EVACUATION

EMERGENCY ON

When fire detectors on different floors simultaneously operate or when the detector on other floor operates during Warning Announcement, Evacuation Announcement is provided upon completion of the Warning Announcement.

Even when another fire detector operates after Warning Announcement is made, Evacuation Announcement informs the first-operated detector's floor as the fire floor.

During the operation of Evacuation Announcement Interval Timer, even when the Broadcast reset key is pressed and broadcast is reset, the Evacuation timer continues to operate without stopping.

After All-zone Broadcast Interval Timer's set time is up, only all-zone broadcast can be made. Broadcasting floors cannot be changed, nor can broadcast be reset.

False Alarm Announcement

Press the False Alarm Announcement key .

False Alarm Announcement ( ) Broadcasting floor: Floors to which Warning Announcement or Evacuation

Announcement was made

Reset the fire detector, emergency telephone or fire button.

Extinguishment of a fire

Press the Emergency reset key .

• Fire indicator is extinguished.

• Fire floor indicator is extinguished.

• Zone indicator is extinguished.

Restoration Broadcast mode the system was last in before Warning Announcement was made is restored.

If the Emergency reset key is pressed without resetting the fire detector, emergency telephone or fire button, the system interprets the key depression as fire status and initiates broadcast.

When a false alarm or the extinguishment of a fire is confirmed, be sure to reset the fire detector, emergency telephone or fire button before pressing the Emergency reset key.

The PA microphone can be used at any time because it is given the highest priority.

If the CPU failure indicator lights or flashes during the operation of the system, open the door and set the computer control on-off switch to the OFF position. This permits attenuator-free all-zone broadcast to be made using the PA microphone. (See p. 24.)
