% FIRE EVAC UATION C ONTROL (J AC K)
This feature has been added in order to ensure that
venues using the PMC-500 are in compliance with
modern fire safety standards. If a Fire Alarm is
correctly connected to the PMC-500 and is triggered
in an evacuation emergency, the PMC-500 will react
to such a signal (alarm) by swiftly canceling the
output of all but the MIC signal(s). Keeping the MIC
signal(s) open will thus allow the PMC-500 operator
to broadcast any necessary evacuation procedures
ensuring that all present are quickly and safely
notified in an emergency.
Connection to the Fire Evacuation ControlJack can be accom plished asillustrated.
