section thoroughly before using the system for the rst time. Some
equipment models, especially entertainment units, can be changed from
one project to another and separate user manuals will be delivered for
these models.
If a higher priority panel/source is activated, the PA panels with lower
priority will cease to function as this will cut the 24 VDC power supply to
the panels.

a dual system. Single or dual panel systems are congured according
to project specications at delivery, but usage is the same for both types
of panels. Operation will also activate a chime unit if installed. Ongoing
alarms are muted when Emergency messages are broadcasted.
