4.4 Evacuate
EVACUATE causes all sounders, etc., which are
designated in the pre-programmed EVACUATE pattern,
to operate.
Note: If an alarm occurs while the panel is in DAY mode
(Section 4.12 or may be configured with time-of-
day), first operation of EVACUATE will override the
delays to the remote fire outputs. Second operation
of EVACUATE gives the effects described below.
1 Press the EVACUATE pushbutton (or the appropriate
VDU key). The following is displayed:
2 Press
. A ‘WAIT’ message is displayed momentarily
until the sounders operate. No further action is needed
until it is required to silence the sounders, in which
case SILENCE SOUNDERS should be pressed.
If the panel is configured with a delay to outputs, then
pressing EVACUATE while the delay is active will override
the delay and immediately activate the output.
If the EVACUATE pushbutton is pressed while the
SILENCE SOUNDERS mode is active, first the sounders
are re-activated, followed by any additional actions
required by the evacuation strategy configured in the
Control Matrix.
Note: The evacuation strategy could be completely
different to the Fire alarm actions configured in
the Control Matrix.
