Fire sounders silence disabled time
Note: For control panels in basic evacuation mode, any configured fire sounders
silence disable times are ignored.
To prevent the immediate silencing of fire sounders when a fire alarm is first
reported, the Fire Sounder Start/Stop button may be temporarily disabled for a
preconfigured period of time when a configured fire sounder delay is counting
down.
The disable time starts to count down when the control panel enters fire alarm
status and the configured fire sounder delay starts.
During the configured disable time the Fire Sounder Start/Stop LED is off and the
fire sounders cannot be silenced (before activation) by pressing the Fire Sounder
Start/Stop button.
In the time between the end of the configured disable time and the end of the
configured fire sounder delay (when the Fire Sounder Start/Stop LED is flashing),
pressing the Fire Sounder Start/Stop button silences sounders (before
activation).
A configured fire sounder delay may still be cancelled while the delay is running
(and sounders activated) by pressing the Fire Sounder Delay button.
Use this menu to configure the time while fire sounders silence is disabled. The
default setting is 1 minute.
To configure the Fire Sounders Silence Disabled Time:
1. Set the display as shown below, and then press Enter.
The Fire Sounders Start/Stop LED flashes fast to indicate that the Fire
Sounders Silence Disable Time configuration menu is active.
2. Select a delay value from 00 to 10 minutes using the value selection buttons
(2 and 4).
3. Press Enter.
4. Save your changes.
