Volume Override
Control Outputs are configured by defining one or more actions to be triggered on an output event.
The Volume Override function is used to trigger the control output on Volume Override in the indicated zone(s).
Volume Override is used when the system has volume controllers that must be kept active. Locally, such volume controllers may be used for adjusting the volume in a corridor for instance. As long as the volume controller has current, the physical volume setting will apply. If there is no more current, it will be overridden and go into bypass mode (i.e. no effect).
