•
Mode: - A coincidence condition is logged in the event buffer when two
or more fire monitoring devices of the zone are in alarm. A
coincidence condition can also be used as an input for I/O logic
switching. When viewing the display alarm screen, the
abbreviation "COI" is displayed next to the status of devices
contributing to the coincidence condition of the zone. Also,
when viewing this zone menu, the word "COINCIDENCE"
flashes if the zone currently has a coincidence condition.
"Mode" determines the operation –
: normal – Coincidence only
: confirmed – Alarm is raised only if fire is
present for more than 60s as well as for a
coincidence.
: two devices – When first fire detected, the
panel goes into pre-alarm. During 2
nd
fire,
alarm is raised. This applies to a
coincidence as well.
•
Area: 1—99 - The selected zone can be assigned to any
one of 99 areas. An area (being a group of

monitoring device or sounder output unit
that exists in a zone that is switched off in
this manner, will cause a zone
disablement.
•
Day/Night: disable/enable - Zones that are enabled for day/night
operation will switch between Day Mode

level more sensitive during Night Mode
than the level set for Day Mode.
