1. DIP switch for sounder delay configuration
Any programmed delay will only be activated if the alarm is triggered by a
detector. An alarm triggered by a manual call point will never be delayed.

1 minute delay 2 minute delay 3 minute delay 4 minute delay
5 minute delay 6 minute delay 7 minute delay 8 minute delay
9 minute delay 10 minute delay
Confirming sounder delay configuration
Use DIP switch 6 to confirm use of sounder delay mode.

2.3.2 Configuration for active end-of-line resistors
You may activate either active end-of-line resistors or remote reset mode.
You may not activate both simultaneously.
An active end-of-line allows the panel to detect a fault caused by the removal of a
detector from the installation. This fault is indicated as an open circuit fault but the rest of
detectors in the installation keep working.
This operating mode is not compatible with the usual operating mode of a
conventional zone with “passive” end-of-line detection.
Besides configuring the fire panel, a schottky diode (BAT43) must be added to each of
the detector bases. This diode must be connected to the negative contact, whilst an
active end-of-line is installed the last detector of the zone line.
Use DIP switch 7 to activate this mode (see Figure 21 Active EOL configuration).
