LS10061-001SK-E Emergency Voice System Operation
9-12
9.9.3 Fire Page
A fire page can only occur when:
1. Only the fire alarm is active.
2. Both fire and EVS are active and the fire alarm is programmed to be of higher priority than the active EVS
alarm.
• If the fire alarm has the highest active priority and EVS is also active, any LOC can do a fire page given
LOC device priority rules are followed. If the user is at the LOC with EVS Control, and the fire page is
of higher priority that the EVS event, the LOC will automatically relinquish EVS Control to do the fire
page when the user engages the microphone.
3. Only the fire alarm is active, the user has gained EVS Control and custom EVS event is a lower priority than
the fire alarm.
• In this case, if any LOC has EVS Control, the LOC will automatically relinquish control to allow for the
fire page.
4. If both the fire alarm and EVS are active and the active EVS event is programmed for higher priority than
fire alarm; the user must also have gained EVS control.
• In this case a fire page is NOT allowed at all and the LOC must gain EVS control in order to do any live
voice.
9.9.4 Emergency Page
An emergency page can occur when:
1. Only the emergency system is active and the user has gained EVS Control.
2. Only fire alarm is active, custom EVS is higher priority than fire alarm and the user has gained EVS Control.
• This will trigger the EVS system and enable mapping for 'Custom EVS' and 'General EVS'.
