[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 92606, member: 114"] Re: Fire Alarm Cut Off I'll echo that it may be worth verifying what is required. Typically I have been able to mute the system via a contact closure to the system processor(s) but I have had situations where the AHJ required us to power off the amplifiers. While the house system may be useful for non-emergency or non-life safety announcements, unless the house system is designed and approved specifically to serve as an emergency announce system then you are usually better to not use it during emergencies as its use can potentially interfere with any other systems used for that purpose. The last thing needed is a paniced, ill advised announcement at high sound levels interfering with people hearing the needed announcement. [/QUOTE]
