6.8.1.3 Positive Alarm Sequence
shall be
permitted if approved by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction:
[1] Acknowledgement period = 15 seconds
[2] Investigation period = 180 seconds
If the Positive Alarm Sequence (P.A.S.) option is
programmed and enabled, an alarm condition
originating from a configured P.A.S. device is
registered at the panel but will not immediately
activate the notification appliances.
Note: The Positive Alarm Sequence feature must be enabled using the User Menu options. It can also be
disabled (bypassed) by using the User Menu options.
Positive Alarm Sequence (P.A.S) is a “False Alarm Management” programmable feature of all Axis
AX
fire alarm
control panels. When the Axis
AX
fire alarm control panel registers a P.A.S. (Positive Alarm Sequence) alarm, the
alarm LED will flash, the internal buzzer will sound (continuously), the display will indicate “NEW ALARM IN ZONE
xxxx” (unacknowledged event), the zone message (32 characters), the device message (26 characters) and the
type of device for the specific active device. At the same time, any outputs programmed to activate on an initial
P.A.S. alarm will activate.
In addition to the above displayed P.A.S. alarm information, the display will show an output delay Stage 1 – time
period (Acknowledgement Period) for P.A.S. alarm acknowledgement. The bottom of the display will be highlighted
indicating a tally of all alarms, MNS and supervisory events presently active on the system.
Example of an unacknowledged P.A.S. alarm:
NEW ALARM IN ZONE 0001
< New unacknowledged P.A.S alarm message
First Floor
Conference Room 100 [PHOTO SMOKE ]
< Zone P.A.S. alarm text(32 Characters)
< Device text (26 Characters) / type of device
OUTPUT DELAY 14 s (ACK to extend)
.
ALARMS: 2 MNS: 0 SUPERVISORY: 0
..
< Output delay Stage 1 - time to “ACK”
< # Alarms # MNS and # Supervisory events
If the alarm is not acknowledged before the output delay Stage 1 – time period expires; the system will enter a full
alarm condition and will activate all notification appliance circuits, relays, and other outputs programmed by the
installer.
Pressing the “ACK”
button within the allotted output delay Stage 1 - time period will acknowledge the P.A.S. alarm,
reset the output delay to a Stage 2 - time period (Investigation Period), change the red Alarm LED to steady, silence
the internal buzzer, and display “ALARM IN ZONE xxxx” (acknowledged event) with the zone/device messages.
