Local Mute Control

Local Mute Control will force any Control Output that is being used (and configured with Local Mute as Source) to trigger. As with other broadcasts, it will be added to the queue if other broadcasts with higher priority are active in the selected zone.

• Drag-and-drop Input Actions -> Local Mute Control to:

Amplifier -> Control Inputs -> CI -> CI_1-CI_6 -> on_action/off_action

or

Access Panel -> Programmable Keys -> Key -> p1-px -> press_action/release_action

Mute ID
The Local Mute to be triggered. This is the source in the control output that directs the actual physical function.

Activation
Start, Stop or Toggle the Local Mute.

Destination
The zones in which Local Mute will be started. The zone and source must correspond to the function configured in the output.

Priority
The priority of the broadcast. The muting will be active as long as the activity in the selected zone has a lower priority than the one set here. For example, the operator wants to mute GA with Priority 20, but he wants to hear the Abandon Alarm with Priority 15. In this case, Priority can be set to 18 here.

Organizing Local Mutes

Local Mutes can be organized and renamed using Exigo Management Tool (EMT).

  • On Alarm start and stop - Deactivate mute on both start and stop
  • On Alarm start - Deactivate mute on start of a new alarm that has lower priority than the one set here. Used when one wants the new alarm to be heard.
