evacuation announcements in accordance
with EN 60 846 . The alarm must be trig-
gered via a potential-free NO contact . When

10 seconds before a pre-recorded MP3 file
will be reproduced . Additional announce-
ments can be made at any time via the hand-
held microphone . These announcements will
take priority over all other signals .
