Alert/Evac Controller Unit

This simple to operate controller is designed around industry standard building emergency alert/evacuate requirements. When connected to a paging system amplifier, building occupants can be alerted and/or evacuated in an orderly manner in the event of an emergency Eg: fire, gas leak, bomb scare, earthquake and so forth. Auto or manual modes of operation are selected by the front panel keyswitch.

Modes of operation:
Auto The alert tone is generated when a signal is received from the fire indicator board (FIB). After a preset time the evacuate tone is sounded unless the alert tone is manually reset. The evacuation tone continues until manually reset. When selected to auto, front panel alert and evac controls are inoperative. Other controls such as paging, bell chime and BGM function normally.
Manual In the manual position any of the functions may be initiated from the controls on the front panel, i.e. Alert, Evac, or PA.
Remote cancel function Terminals are provided for the connection of a remote cancel switch. When activated with a closing set of contacts this will cancel any activated tone, regardless of the position of the master auto/manual/isolate keyswitch on the front panel. This is particularly useful when the main equipment may not be readily accessible.
Other functions Provision has been made for a BGM source to be played through the controller. BGM is automatically muted when any other function is operated. A microphone input has been included on the front panel. This can be used for either general or emergency paging. Paging overrides all other functions. A pre-announcement chime is available on the microphone input. This can be switched on or off internally as preferred. Included is a unique tone or bell chime for signalling lunch breaks, start of class etc. This can be operated from the front panel or via contacts on the rear panel for remote activation ie. by a time clock or remote switch.
