Confirmation Mode
The options in Confirmation Mode depend on whether you are using an EU or UK control
unit:

For EU control units, Basic confirmation mode is always used and Confirmation
Mode contains two options: Sounder On (page 87) and Siren On (page 88).

For UK control units, Confirmation Mode contains three options: Basic , DD243 and
BS8243 . The options in the Confirmation menu depend on which of these three
options you select.
The setting for Confirmation Mode determines the events the control unit requires to create
a "confirmed alarm":

Basic (default and only setting for EU control units)
– A confirmed alarm is
generated when a second zone alarm is activated while the partition is in an
alarm state.

BS8243 or DD243 (UK control units only)
– A confirmed alarm is generated when
a second zone alarm is triggered within the period of the Confirmation Timer
setting, and in the same partition as the first zone alarm. If you select either of
these options, additional options are displayed to define the meaning of a
confirmed alarm.
If the first ("unconfirmed") alarm is caused by the expiry of the entry timer, then
for:

DD243
– A further two zones that are not on the entry route must be triggered
to activate the output.

BS8243
– One zone not on the entry route must be triggered to activate the
output.
Note:

A confirmed alarm activates any output programmed of type Confirmed Alarm (page
64).

A confirmed alarm is communicated only when the Alarm Response is set to
Siren+Comms (see page 74).

A confirmed hold-up alarm (generated by two hold-up alarms or a hold-up alarm
and tamper alarm) only when Confirmation Mode is BS8243.

The Master User can enable or disable hold-up functions for all FOB-2W-4Bs and
727rs by using User Menu
– System Config – Remotes – HUA Function
. Note that
this is not compliant with DD243 or BS8243.
Confirmation Time
This is available for only for UK control units and when Confirmation Mode is set to DD243
or BS8243.
The option determines the length of the confirmation time for intruder alarms. You can
select any time between 1 and 60 minutes. Confirmation times less than 30 minutes do not
comply with BS8243 or DD243.
