Overview 151455
1-3
• ECS messages can be selected as priority over fire.
• Programmable trigger inputs from an external source, such as a Monaco system, to either the
ECS-NVCM, ECS-RVM, 5880, any SLC input module or Flexput module.
1.3 Terms Used in this Manual
The following terminology is used with the this system:
Table 1-1: Terms
Term Description
ECS Emergency Communication System.The features of the control panel and accessories
that provide Mass Notification functionality as described in UL standard 2572.
FACP Fire Alarm Control Panel.
LOC Local Operator's Console. The user interface for a Mass Notification System. In the
Honeywell Farenhyt Series product line, this would be the interface provided by the IFP-
100ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-300ECS, IFP-2000ECS, or IFP-2100ECS
Mass Notification A way of protecting life by relaying specific event information to a building or site
including voice and/or audible and visual signals.
ECS-Series When this is used in a statement, it would indicate the that statement applies to the IFP-
2000ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-100ECS, IFP-300ECS and IFP-2100ECS control panels.
ECS Device A LOC or a 5880 module that is programmed as an ECS device. These are used as
inputs for triggering the ECS on an IFP-100ECS,IFP-300ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-
2000ECS and IFP-2100ECS.
ECS Control ECS Control is a mode that all ECS LOCs need to be in to be able to change the current
state of the ECS. ECS Control is requested by using the ECS Control Button on LOC
stations.
ECS Point An input point that is programmed to trigger an ECS event on the IFP-2000ECS or IFP-
2100ECS.
ECS LOC Priority The priority level which is programmed for every ECS LOC. In order from lowest to
highest: Low, Normal, High.
ECS Super User A user profile provided option that allows the user to override all ECS Control rules and
gain ECS Control.
VBUS The VBUS is an analog voice bus that carries the recorded voice messages from the
ECS-NVCM to the ECS-50W, ECS-125Ws or ECS-DUAL50W or the voice messages
generated from a system microphone to the ECS-50W, ECS-125W or ECS-DUAL50W.
Module The term module is used for all hardware devices except for SLC addressable devices
and notification appliances.
Main control panel Refers to either the IFP-2100ECS, IFP-2000ECS, IFP-1000ECS, IFP-300ECS or IFP-
100ECS control panels in the ECS-Series cabinet.
Input Point An addressable sensing device, such as a smoke or heat detector or a contact monitor
device.
Input Zone A protected area made up of input points.
Output Point
(or Output Circuit)
A notification point or circuit for notification appliances. Relay circuits and auxiliary power
circuits are also considered output points. The output group can be specifically defined
as an output group to be used for voice evacuation circuits.
Audio Circuits Are output groups that are defined as voice output groups.
Group (or “Output Group”) A group of output points. Operating characteristics are common to all output points in the
group.
Output (or “Cadence”) Pattern The pattern that the output will use, for example, Constant, March Code, ANSI 3.41.
Applies to zones and special system events.
Mapping Mapping is the process of specifying which outputs are activated when certain events
occur in the system.
