French term or phrase: Cable N/S CR1
It's the N/S that I am after.

"Cable N/S CR1", but also "Report signalisation N/S sur GTC du C/C". GTC = CTC (Central Technical Control) and C/C = Shopping Centre.

agree  kashew: Sounds right: why not keep N/S (Normal/Safety?) or S for Stand-by?!

  -> Not familiar with "Normal/Safety". "Normal/Emergency" is prob. most standard.
agree  Catharine Cellier-Smart: Normal/Secours is the conclusion I came to, too
