4.3 System Overview
The Ampac EV3000 Occupant Warning and Intercommunication System is a microprocessor based
OWIS system that complies with Australian Standards AS2220.1 and produces Alert and Evacuation
signals compliant with AS1670.4
The OWIS comprises of two sub-systems,
1. Occupant Warning System (OWS)
The prime function of an OWS is to transmit via speakers in evacuation zones, alert signals,
evacuation signals and public address clearly and reliably.
The OWS can automatically initiate evacuation procedures or be manually operated as well
being used for non-emergency functions, e.g. background music and general PA facilities.
2. Occupant Intercommunication System (OIS).
The OIS is a totally independent intercommunication system provided to communicate on a
one to one basis from the Master Emergency Control Panel (MECP) to the individual Warden
Intercommunication Points (WIP’s) within the evacuation zones.
The OWS and OIS are collectively referred to as the Occupant Warning and Intercommunication
System (OWIS).

Page 4
EV3000 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
5System Description
5.1 Occupant Warning System
The OWS subdivides the building into evacuation zones. Each evacuation zone has one or more
amplifiers and a number of associated speakers. In sections of a building where the background
noise is high, visual warning devices may be used in addition to speakers. Each evacuation zone
amplifier may be switched by the system to one of four audio channels. These channels are PA,
Alert signal, Evacuation signal and Background music (BGM). The BGM channel to each amplifier
can be configured on site by jumper links to one of the following sources:
Background music 1
Background music 2
Silence
During non-emergency situations the evacuation zones can have the PA channel or BGM channel
switched to allow the OWS to be used for PA facilities or background music. The background music
is disabled;
in an emergency situation,
if the OWS is manually operated; or
if the mains power fails.
The signal generator module (SGM) is responsible for generating the alert and evacuation signals as
well as the alert and evacuation verbal messages.
The OWS has two possible types of alarm signal inputs to indicate that an emergency condition is
occurring in the building. These are:
Emergency Alarm Initiating Devices (EAID’s) i.e. manual call points
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
These inputs are grouped according to the building evacuation zones. Any number of EAID's and
FACP’s inputs may be assigned to any one building evacuation zones or group of zones.
When an input, i.e. EAID or FACP initiates an alarm signal the OWS, if in automatic mode, will
initiate a preset evacuation sequence. The evacuation sequence will sound the Alert / Evac signals
to the evacuation zones within the building and activating the visual warning devices (if installed)
according to the pre-programmed evacuation sequence. The manual override will cease the pre-
programmed evacuation sequence, and output Alert / Evac signals to evacuation zones as dictated
via the OWS panel control switches. If the keyswitch is placed back into the Auto position after an
evacuation sequence is stopped by use of the keyswitch and no keys were pressed in Manual then
the evacuation sequence will be discontinued.
The OWS provides full system status and fault indication facilities.
If the OWS has more than one ECP, one ECP is referred to as the Master Emergency Control Panel
(MECP) and the remaining ECP’s are referred to as Secondary Emergency Control Panels
(SECP’s).
5.2 Occupant Intercommunication System
The OIS provides an independent communication system between the controlling ECP and a
Warden Intercommunication Point (WIP). OIS features are:
The controlling ECP can call individual WIP’s or enter an All Call mode, where all the WIP’s are
called simultaneously.
The controlling ECP and up to 5WIP’s can communicate in a conference mode.
Calls to an individual WIP's have full duplex communication.
All Call, communication is half duplex from the controlling ECP.
Any WIP can call the controlling ECP the call is answered at the controlling ECP at the
operators’ discretion.

8.1.2 Automatic / Manual / Isolate Key Switch
1. Automatic Position
In the Automatic Position the OWS will enter the programmed evacuation sequence when an alarm
signal is received from an FACP or EAID.
The switch key is removable only in this position.
A green automatic indicator is illuminated when the switch is in the automatic position.
2. Manual Position
The purpose of this position is to take manual control of the building evacuation, irrespective of the
state of the alarm signals. This position also allows routine testing of the building alarm system and
OWS.
The automatic initiation of an evacuation sequence is inhibited.
If the OWS has entered the evacuation sequence whilst in the AUTOMATIC position and the OWS is
switched to the MANUAL position, the state of the OWS at that instant is held, i.e. each zone's
output remains in that state.
If the OWS is then switched back to the AUTOMATIC position without any zone control switches
being operated, the automatic evacuation tones will continue as normal but the evacuation sequence
remains halted.
If the OWS is switched back to the AUTOMATIC position and the control switches have been
operated, the automatic evacuation sequence will not continue. If a new alarm input is received this
will override the current state of the zones.
3. Manual Override of SECP's
Where a OWS has more than one ECP, any ECP can take manual control of the OWS by turning the
key-switch to the MANUAL position. Only the MECP being switched to the MANUAL position shall
override any SECP with its key-switch in the MANUAL position.
Each ECP is fitted with an "REMOTE ECP IN CONTROL" indicator. When an ECP is switched to the
MANUAL mode, all other ECP’s in the OWS will illuminate their REMOTE ECP IN CONTROL
indicator.
If an SECP is in control and the MECP is switched to MANUAL, the MECP will then take control, its
REMOTE ECP IN CONTROL indicator will switch off and the SECP which was previously in control
will illuminate its REMOTE ECP IN CONTROL indicator.
When the key-switch at a ECP is in the manual position the alarm system isolated indicator
will illuminate steady.
4. Isolate Position
This key-switch position is local to the ECP and will not affect any other ECP's. A red indicator is
illuminated when the switch is in this position.
The ECP will not recognise the isolated position if selected from the manual position. When selecting
the EV3000 to isolate, the switch must be rotated from automatic, through manual, to isolate position
within 1 second. Further more the system must be in an inactive state, i.e. fans are not running, no
alarms are present etc.
In this position the control switches and front panel indicators only function locally, with no zone
outputs, i.e. speakers and visual alarm devices being activated. The indicators selected in this
position will flash. This position is used for training purposes.
If an ECP is in the ISOLATE position, and another ECP is switched to manual, the ECP in the
ISOLATE position will illuminate its REMOTE ECP IN CONTROL indicator and the control switch
indicators will reflect the status of the OWS, not local control switch selections.
If an ECP is in the ISOLATE position, and the OWS receives an FACP input then the OWS will
return to the AUTO state and commence the evacuation sequence. The control switch indicators will
reflect the state of the OWS, not the local control switch selections. The ALARM ORIGIN
INDICATORS will reflect which zone caused the OWS to enter the evacuation sequence.
8.1.3 All Call Facility
Four control switches, i.e. "ALL OFF", "ALL PA", "ALL ALERT" and "ALL EVAC" provide the ALL
CALL facility. The selected audio channel is delivered to ALL the evacuation zones. There are three
ALL CALL indicators which reflect the all call selection. These are:
PA
ALERT

Page 9
EV3000 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
EVAC
The ALL CALL inputs have priority over the OWS Control switches. Turning the
ALL CALL facility OFF (All Call 'CANCEL') will return the OWS to its condition before the use of the
All Call facility.
8.1.4 Buzzer
The ECP is fitted with an internal buzzer which is activated by the following conditions:
amplifier / speaker line fault
visual alarm line fault
alarm system fault (FACP, EAID)
communications fault (to other ECP’s)
system on batteries - local if locally powered, or remote if remotely powered
battery fault - local if locally powered, or remote if remotely powered
charger fail - local if locally powered, or remote if remotely powered
signal generator fail
module fault
system fault
WIP line fault
visual line fault
EAID line fault
microphone pre-amp fail
8.1.5 Buzzer Mute / Alarm Acknowledge
When the BUZZER MUTE button is pressed, all outstanding alarm and fault conditions are
acknowledged. All flashing indicators go steady, and the buzzer is muted. For system wide faults,
pressing the BUZZER MUTE at any ECP will acknowledge the fault at all ECP’s.
System wide faults are:
amplifier / speaker line fault
visual alarm line fault
alarm system fault (FACP, EAID)
communications fault
system on batteries - if all ECP’s remotely powered
battery fault - if all ECP’s remotely powered
charger fail - if all ECP’s remotely powered
signal generator fail / microphone pre-amp fail
module fault
system fault
WIP system fault
visual line fault
EAID line fault

Page 10
EV3000 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
8.1.6 Master Reset
Master Reset facility is only active when the ECP is in the Manual mode.
When pressed all zone outputs switch to the off channel but only if there are NO unacknowledged
EAID or FACP alarm signals in the OWS.
8.1.7 Lamp Test Facility
The LAMP TEST facility causes all the front panel indicators (on the master control panel only) to
illuminate and the audible buzzer operates for 3 seconds then resets.
The following indicators are not included;
1. Mains On,
2. System on Batteries,
3. Charger Fault,
4. Battery Fault and
5. Battery Isolated
The LAMP TEST is invoked by momentarily pressing the LAMP TEST button.
8.1.8 System Test Facility
This facility allows the testing of the evacuation sequence fitted without broadcasting signals.
To invoke a test of the sequence:
1. Place keyswitch into ISOLATE position
2. Press SYSTEM TEST
3. Press the CANCEL button for the OWS zone input to simulate an alarm.
4. System should indicate the sequence but not output any audio signals.
5. To restore system to normal return keyswitch to AUTO.
The LAMP TEST is invoked by momentarily pressing the LAMP TEST button.
8.1.9 System Status Indicators
There are twelve system status indicators each illuminated when;
1. Power On Mains power is present at ECP.
2. System On Batteries The ECP is operating from batteries.
3. Charger Fault The battery charger fails.
4. Battery Fault The battery voltage drops below the lower limit.
5. Battery Isolated The batteries have been isolated from the charger i.e. fuse is blown
or circuit breaker is tripped.
6. Signal Fault The signal/speech generator has failed.
7. Alarm system Isolated The alarm system is isolated.
8. Comms Fault A fault is detected in the communications bus.
9. System Fault Any ECP or RPC has a module fault.
10. Module Fault A module fault within the ECP's internal communication bus.
11. Microphone Fault The microphone/BGM mixer has failed.
12. Remote ECP In Control See MANUAL POSITION for the key-switch.

Page 11
EV3000 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
8.1.10 Zone Status (Fault Diagnostics)
To aid in diagnosing the type of fault on an evacuation zone, four buttons have been included on the
Master Control Panel of the ECP. These buttons represent the four types of evacuation zone faults
that can occur.
These faults are:
1. Amplifier/speaker line faults.
2. EAID faults.
3. Visual line faults.
4. Alarm system (FACP) faults.
When one of these buttons is pressed, only the zones with a fault present as represented by the
push button have their OWS fault origin indicators illuminated. This facility is non-latching and
therefore the OWS fault origin indicators will return to their former state when the button is released.

The control switches allow any of the four audio channels (BGM, PA Alert or Evac) to be switched to
any of the zones. The Control Switches are inhibited when the OWS is in the AUTOMATIC state.
Pressing any of the control switches for an evacuation zone shall automatically cancel the previous
selection for that zone, i.e. only one audio channel can be assigned to a zone at any one time.
For each evacuation zone there is a set of control switches and associated indicators:
CANCEL - Control only
PA - Control switch and indicator
ALERT - Control switch and indicator
EVAC - Control switch and indicator
8.2.2 OWS Zone Fault
OWS Zone Fault indicator will flash when a fault is detected by the MAIN EQUIPMENT on any of the
wiring or components associated with that zone, and go steady when the fault is acknowledged.
8.2.3 Alarm Origin
Alarm Origin indicator will flash when an input, i.e. FACP or EAID associated with that zone, has
been activated and go steady when the alarm is acknowledged.
Fault and Alarm indicators are NOT inhibited by any key-switch operation.

8.3.1 WIP Select Switch
(One switch per WIP) - when pressed for the first time will initiate a call to the WIP, or answer a call
from a WIP. Pressing the switch a second time will terminate the call to the WIP regardless of who
initiated the call.
8.3.2 WIP Select Indicator (Red)
(One indicator per WIP) - will flash when the ECP is calling the WIP and goes steady when the call is
answered at the WIP. When the call is terminated, the indicator switches off. The indicator also
flashes when the ECP is being called from a WIP and goes steady when the call is answered at the
ECP.
8.3.3 WIP Call Buzzer
Sounds when the ECP is being called from the WIP. Buzzer switches off when the handset is picked
up or the call is terminated.
8.3.4 Zone Cleared Switch
(One switch per evacuation zone) - when pressed for the first time will cause the Green ZONE
CLEARED indicator to illuminate. Pressing the switch a second time will switch off the indicator. To
function the MECP handset must be lifted first.
8.3.5 WIP Fault Indicator (Amber)
(One indicator per WIP) - indicator flashes when a fault associated with the WIP has been detected.
Indicator goes steady upon acknowledgment.
8.4 OIS System Operation
8.4.1 WIP Calling ECP
The following is the procedure when initiating a call from a WIP to the ECP:
1. Remove the handset from the cradle at the WIP. This will cause the appropriate WIP select
indicator to flash at all ECP’s and the WIP call buzzer to sound at all ECP’s.
2. A confidence tone can be heard at the WIP.
3. The ECP which responds to the call is referred to as the controlling ECP. The call is answered
at the ECP by removing the handset from the cradle and pressing the WIP select switch which
corresponds to that WIP. A full duplex connection between the two parties is then established.
8.4.2 Conference Call
If a second WIP initiates a call, the select indicator for that WIP will flash and if the WIP select switch
corresponding to the second WIP is pressed, the select indicator for that WIP will go steady, and a
conference call between the three parties is set up. Up to 5 WIP’s can be supported in this fashion. If
a sixth WIP calls the ECP, the select switch of the sixth WIP is pressed, nothing will happen, i.e. the

Page 13
EV3000 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
select indicator will remain flashing. The only way that the sixth WIP can be
answered is if one of the 5 WIP’s involved in the conference call is cancelled the
sixth WIP can then take its place.
8.4.3 Completing the Call by the WIP
If the WIP handset is placed back onto its cradle after the call is connected. The handset at the
controlling ECP will go silent and the WIP select indicator will switch off, completing the call.
8.4.4 Completing the Call by the ECP
The call can be completed at the ECP in two ways. By replacing the handset on the cradle OR by
pressing the WIP select switch. In either case the WIP will return to the confidence tone. To be able
to call or be calls again the WIP handset should be returned to its cradle.
8.4.5 ECP Calling WIP
The following is the procedure when initiating a call from the ECP to aWIP:
1. The confidence tone can be heard in the handset at the controlling ECP.
2. The WIP select switch corresponding to the WIP to be called is pressed, which causes the
WIP select indicator at the ECP’s to flash, and the buzzer to sound at the WIP. Up to 5 WIP’s
can be called using this procedure.
3. Once the handset is picked up at the WIP the connection is established and the WIP select
indicator becomes steady.
4. When the ECP is calling more than one WIP, the status of the calls, i.e. WIP answering is
reflected in the WIP select indicators.
8.4.6 ECP To All WIPS (ALL CALL)
The following is the procedure when initiating an All CALL from the ECP to all WIP’s:
1. The confidence tone can be heard in the handset at the controlling ECP.
2. The All Call button is pressed; this causes all WIP select indicators at the ECP to flash.
3. The WIP’s, buzzers sound, with a 3 second or longer ON time and 3 second OFF time. This
allows the warden at the WIP to distinguish between a direct call to his WIP and an All Call
type call.
4. When any of the WIP handsets are taken off the cradle, a connection is made and the WIP
select indicator at the ECP goes steady. Similarly as more WIP handsets are taken off the
cradle, their respective select indicators at the ECP go steady.
8.4.7 Completing The All Call
Replacing the ECP handset on its cradle i.e.: hanging up, will cancel the ALL CALL operation. Each
WIP will be returned to the confidence tone.
8.4.8 OIS Controlling ECP
With the OWS in auto any ECP can be in control of the OIS by simply lifting the WIP handset at that
ECP from its cradle. However, when an OWS is switched to the manual position it then has control
of the OIS.
Again the MECP can override an SECP to take control of the OIS.

8.4.10 Remote Paging Console
The Remote Paging Console (RPC) has been designed to provide PA. facilities at locations which
may be remote from the E.C.P.
The RPC consists of a sloping front console with an alphanumeric keypad and a gooseneck type
microphone. A 3 digit seven segment display is used to display the selected subzone(s) and there
are 3 LED indicators for power, system busy and a press to talk indicator which verifies the operation
of the push to talk (PTT) switch.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the system is powering up the LED display will read In1. After the system powers up the LED
display will be blank.
If the system busy LED is on, or the system is powering up, the RPC cannot be used. The system
busy LED will be or if any other RPC is using the system or if the OWS system is activated at either
the MECP or an SECP.
Note 1. When paging is in progress, fault monitoring on the amplifiers is inhibited.
Note 2. If the OWS overrides the RPC's, the RPC's are disconnected and the system busy
LED's are turned on and the buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.
ZONE SELECTION
The RPC can be configured to access OWS zones as follows:
1. Subzones these may be selected zones or parts of zones of the OWS.
2. Groups these may be groups of subzones.
3. All Call this is used to select all subzones configured to a particular RPC.
SUBZONE SELECTION
To select a subzone, key in the required No. and press 'ENTER/CLEAR' e.g. to select subzone 4,
press 4 followed by 'ENTER/CLEAR'.
The LED display will show 4 which will flash until the RPC has control of the OWS.
Once the RPC is connected press the 'PUSH TO TALK' button and speak into the microphone
(NOTE a pre-announcement chime sounds when the PTT is pressed). To terminate the selection
release the 'PUSH TO TALK' button and press 'ENTER/CLEAR'. Once the PTT is released if no
other key is pressed, the RPC will automatically disconnect after 10 seconds.
To cancel an incorrect entry press 'ENTER/CLEAR' twice.
GROUP CALL
To select a group of subzones, press the 'GROUP' key followed by the group number key (e.g. 4)
followed by 'ENTER/CLEAR'.
e.g. to select group 5 press 'GROUP' key followed by 5 followed by 'ENTER/CLEAR'. The LED
display will show A5 which will flash until the RPC has control of the OWS.
ALL CALL
To select the all call facility press 'ALL CALL' followed by 'ENTER/CLEAR'. The display will show
ALL which will flash until the RPC has control of the OWS.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring to RPC's is via pre wired connectors and modules are addressed / programmed in the
factory.

8.5.2 Signal/Speech Generator
The 302-491B is designed to produce the alert and evacuation tones and speech messages required
for an evacuation system to Australian Standards AS1670.4 or NZS4512. Tones are digitally
produced by microcontrollers for high stability and accuracy. Speech messages, which may be
installed on either or both tones, are microprocessor controlled but stored using the Information
Storage Devices (ISD) Direct Analogue Storage Technology (DAST). Outputs from the card are low
impedance to allow the card to drive 100 AMPAC EV3000 amplifiers (i.e. 40W and 120/240W).
