Fire delay operation
Delays can be configured for fire sounders and for fire routing. These delays will
only be applied when all of the following are true:
• The configured delay has been enabled
• The initiating device is a detector or a manual call point installed in an
automatic zone or the initiating device is a detector installed in a mixed zone
• The initiating device is in a zone configured for delays (the default
configuration)
If any of the above points are not true, then the control panel activates the fire
sounders and fire routing immediately after the detection of the fire alarm.
Sounder delays are bypassed when the alarm is detected in an extinguishing
zone.
Adding expansion boards
To add an expansion board to the system you must install the board and then
configure the system. Refer to the board’s installation guide for installation
instructions. Refer to the topic “Expansion board configuration” on page 49 for
configuration instructions.
