1Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Public Address option for your Code Blue application. Public
Address is a centralized amplifier-based system designed to provide voice paging and
broadcast alarm tones during emergencies. The system can transmit alarm tones and voice
messages in a reliable and safe manner from a central location to all or selected areas of the
facility via loudspeakers. The entire operational area can be divided into one or more zones,
which can be accessed independently either for announcements or alarm broadcasting.
Loudspeakers are installed in these zones. There are no limitations to the number of zones in a
system or number of loudspeakers in each zone. The system is designed to offer clear
reproduction of sound and intelligibility, even in high noise areas.
1.1 Overview

Public Address, CB 5-s with Public Address, WM-180 Public Address System, CB 2-e with
Public Address and 360PAS retrofit top. This manual contains a general overview of the Code
Blue PAS options and its application, installation and wiring.

Exclusively designed as an emergency communication system to deliver maximum
audio clarity and range to ensure notifications are accurately broadcast to your intended
audience.
1.2.3 CB 2-e with Public Address Units Indoor & Outdoor
Wall or pole mount; analog or IP
An excellent choice for parking decks, dorm entrances, hallways and public transit
centers where instant mass notification of a geographic area is essential.
1.2.4 360 PAS Retrofit Tops Outdoor
PAS top kit for existing standard CB 1 series towers in the field to provide public address
capabilities.
The unique six-speaker design delivers optimal audio source dispersion utilizing state-of-
the-art amplifiers and horn array.
1.2.5 WM-180 Wall Mount PAS unit Indoor & Outdoor
Wall or pole mount option remotely adds public address capabilities to new or existing
CB units.

aged by Code Blue’s Blue Alert® MNS (Mass Notification System) software, granting the
user messaging options. The controller also monitors the amplifier and speaker for
various failures, which are reported to the appropriate maintenance personnel, and
allows the user to call a single WM-180 unit for a targeted message.

5Software Configuration
5.1 Blue Alert®MNS
Designed specifically for schools, hospitals, corporate and municipal campuses looking for an
efficient way to detect and respond, Blue Alert MNS (Mass Notification System) fills a need in
the marketplace for an incident response solution that is both comprehensive and cost-
effective. Blue Alert MNS provides emergency notifications over audio, visual and messaging
platforms at the touch of a button. The result is a sophisticated software solution that quickly
informs and directs people in emergency situations. Blue Alert MNS is available in two
editions, Audio/Visual and Messaging, or together in the Blue Alert MNS Professional
Package.
5.2 Blue Alert®EMS
Blue Alert EMS (Event Management System) handles all incoming emergency and non-
emergency events with an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI). Effectively utilize EMS
for remote operation of Code Blue emergency communication devices. Open gates and AED
access doors, turn LED beacon/strobe lights on or off, transfer calls to the Public Address
System to make area-wide announcements and incorporate other ancillary devices and
applications. Have a camera connected to your Code Blue unit or one mounted nearby?
Simply integrate EMS with your CCTV system for instant video when the units are activated.
Blue Alert EMS utilizes an advanced API for efficient integration with third party applications.
5.3 ToolVox®UPD
ToolVox UPD (Unit Programming & Diagnostics) software provides a user-friendly, web-based
GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the administration of all Code Blue units.
Unit Programming, UPD’s unique phone management feature, allows the user to easily
establish the functionality desired on one phone and copy all settings to additional units as
needed. In addition, audio files can be created at a PC and stored on the server. Different
messages can then be uploaded to each phone or the same audio file can be used on
multiple phones, eliminating the need to call each phone individually and re-record messages.
Once settings are complete, simply “Click to Program,” or select assorted units and choose
“Program All Units” to apply operational parameters.
The Diagnostic section of the software package is capable of testing all on-site Code Blue
units for functionality at any specified time daily, weekly or on a specified day and time. This
flexibility tailors testing at predetermined intervals to confirm the phones are working 24/7.
