Notes:
1. If the Digital Voice Module reports a trouble during condition 5c, the alarm condition is the
selected tone instead of the pre-recorded message.
2. The strobe circuit is a latching output. Once the strobe circuit is energized, it will stay
energized until the “RESET” switch is activated. Activating the “RESET” switch has no effect
while an evacuation signal is initiated.
3. The strobe circuit does not latch on when a digital voice message is being played from the
MDX-2. When the message ends the strobe circuit will revert back to standby mode.
