Disarmed The alarm loop is not monitored
Arming Delay The programmed Arming Delay has not yet expired
Panic Alarm Breaking the loop has been detected
Arming Failed An attempt to arm the loop has failed because the loop is bro-
ken
A Panic alarm loop is operated similarly to an Intrusion alarm loop, except this loop switches to the Pan-
ic Alarm status after it has been broken.
The Panic Alarm status is indicated only by the relevant Signal-10 LED and can initiate only that related
relay which is programmed to operate in accordance with Alarm Output 1 (#10) or Alarm Output 2 (#16)
executive programs (the relay contacts being opened). The internal sounder of the Signal-10 also is not
activated upon Panic Alarm.
An alarm integration time for this type of alarm loops can be 70 ms or 300 ms depending on the pro-
grammed value of the 300-ms Integration Time parameter.
Table 2 shows the matching between current resistance values and corresponding statuses of alarm
loops of the Type 11.
The wiring diagram for including panic buttons into an alarm loop of the Type 11 is similar to that pre-
sented on the page 65.
Programmable Auxiliary Alarm Loop (Type 12)
This type of loop monitoring methods can be used to monitor the conditions of various equipment and
detectors, including those which are not related directly with fire and intrusion alarms. Any detectors or
devices with dry contact or open collector outputs can be included into an alarm loop of the Type 12.
A Programmable Auxiliary alarm loop can be in one of five different statuses which match each to its
own resistance range. These statuses and resistance values matched with them are user programma-
ble. Accordingly, if a device can be in one of some different conditions and has several output contacts,
this device can be monitored by means of a single alarm loop. In such a case the output contact of the
device must be included into the alarm loop along with different additional or shunt resistors. By such a
manner the loop can be monitored for short and open failures.
Sound and light indication of the Signal-10 as well as the way this loop impacts on a related relay (that
is, the executive program assigned with the relay) are defined by the statuses this loop can reach. Ta-
ble 7 displays the list of statuses which can be programmed for an alarm loop of the Type 12, while
Table 5 shows the list of available executive programs taking into account different loop statuses.
The switching between statuses of a Programmable Auxiliary alarm loop is defined only by changing its
resistance and is not affected by any other loop parameters or network controller commands. The inte-
gration time for switching between statuses is generally equal to 300 ms. But if an alarm loop of the
