System, then the system will play the highest event message through all EVS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point
Alarm has message 1 mapped to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing
through groups 2 and 3. If a point for Emergency 1 Point Alarm and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are
both active, the system will play message 1 through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual EVS State is active, points in Alarm state switch to an Active state. When the points are changed to
the Active state, they do not activate any system mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated
while in Manual EVS are also placed into the Active state and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The
system idle screen will show an EVS Alarm counter for any points in the Active state, and the detailed
description of the point will show the point as Active.
After an EVS Reset, any EVS points that are still active will again be put into Alarm.
9.4.2 EVS-VCM Points
The EVS-VCM and EVS-RVM modules contain two programmable input points. These also have the ability to
be programmed as a trigger for bringing external audio into the system. These special point types are: Voice Aux
EVS and Voice Aux Status. When activated, if the event has the highest Event Priority of all activated events,
these points will activate the Aux In input to all outputs defined by the respective event program mapping.
9.5 EVS 5880
9.5.1 EVS (1-8) 5880 Module
An EVS 5880 is a 5880 LED/Contact module with the EVS Trigger option enabled. When this option is enabled,
input points 41 through 48 on the 5880 are automatically assigned to EVS 1-8 functions respectively. See Section
9.4.1 for further information on EVS point activations. The dry-contacts can be setup as latching or non-latching
and silenceable or non-silenceable in the 5880 module programming.
There can be eight EVS 5880s in the system.
Note: The system allows multiple EVS events be active at the same time. Only the highest priority event's message
will play through the system.
9.5.2 Enable 5880 EVS
This option only applies to the 5880. Each module has a unique set of options that specifically applies to the
functionality being edited.
1. Press ENTER on the Naming Module Screen (See section 7.2) to enter 5880 EVS setting and priority screen.
2. Screen will indicate:
EVS Device: Yes or No
EVS Latching: Yes or No
EVS Silenceable: Yes or No
9.6 EVS LOC Programming
Device Priority is a programmable option for each of the EVS devices:
• EVS-VCM
• EVS-RVM
Each device is assigned a Priority level: Low, Normal, or High.
9.6.1 Adding an LOC
To add new LOCs to the system, follow these steps:
