The “Do not repeat” value means that a repeated zone alarm can only be transmitted after a reset of
the previous alarm is transmitted on the zone.
The “Interval for repeating alarms” parameter does not relate to the alarms that are generated when the device
tamper is triggered. Events about breaking or restoring a tamper are always generated after the tamper state
changes.
Interval for repeating fire alarms
The “Interval for repeating fire alarms” parameter specifies the interval with which the device will generate
similar
alarms on zones of the “Fire” type, and transmit them to the receiver. The alarms are considered
similar
if they
are originated in the same wired zone or were transmitted by the same wireless detector.
The interval of fire alarm repetition is on the one hand designed to reduce the number of identical events that will
be transmitted to the receiver, and on the other hand, to prevent a situation in which the personnel of the receiver
will not pay attention to the fact that the device at the site is in the generalized “Fire” state: if
is prohibited, then to reset it, it is necessary to type the code on the keypad.
The value of the “Interval for repeating fire alarms” parameter is applied as follows:
∙
if a fire alarm is detected, “Fire” event will be generated in the zone, the device will switch to the “Fire” state
and the count of the specified interval will start;
∙
upon completion of the specified interval, the “Fire” event will be generated repeatedly on all zones along
which it was generated during the interval counting. After that, the interval count will start again;
∙
if the generalized “Fire” state is reset, the interval count will be completed.
Interval for repeating troubles
The “Interval for repeating troubles” parameter specifies the interval with which the device will generate
similar
troubles on zones and wireless devices, connected to the device. The alarms are considered
similar
if they are
originated in the same wired zone or were transmitted by the same wireless detector. In this case, in contrast to
the repetition intervals of repetition of security or fire alarms, the interval for repeating faults
stops
, if a recovery
of the fault is detected and an event about it is generated.
For the wired zones, faults that are covered by the “Interval for repeating troubles” include the physical faults of the
zone – a break and short circuit. These faults are only generated if one or two terminating resistors are connected
to the zone.
If a type is specified for a wired zone, which implies arming, the event codes that are generated in case of
faults/recoveries in such a zone will depend on the state (armed or disarmed) in which the zone was at the time of
the fault detection:
∙
codes
E331
/
R331
will be generated if a break/recovery is detected for the zone, which is
disarmed
;
∙
codes
E141
/
R141
will be generated if a break/recovery is detected for the zone, which is
armed
;
∙
codes
E332
/
R332
will be generated if a short circuit/recovery is detected for the zone, which is
disarmed
;
∙
codes
E142
/
R142
will be generated if a short circuit/recovery is detected for the zone, which is
armed
;
Despite the fact that the codes
E141
and
E142
are considered alarms, the fault repetition intervals, rather that
alarm repetition intervals, are used for the events with these codes.
The list of faults for wireless devices covered by the “Interval for repeating troubles” is as follows:
∙
loss of communication;
∙
main battery discharge;
∙
backup battery discharge (if the installation of the backup battery is provided by the device design);
∙
fault of the flood sensor zone connected to the “CN-Water” detector (individually for each zone), temperature
sensor faults.
The value of the “Interval for repeating troubles” parameter does not cover the following events about the faults
that are generated by the device:
∙
discharge of the backup battery connected to the device. The event about the backup battery discharge (code
E302
) is formed once and repeated only when the device is turned on;
∙
malfunction of the backup battery connected to the device. The event about the backup battery failure (code
E309
) is formed every 12 hours, based on the results of each quality test of the backup battery;
