In
DEVICE MODE
the evacuate timer is started when a device that has been configured to start the Evacuate Timer detects
a fire. In
GLOBAL MODE
the Evacuate Timer is started when any device detects a fire.
NOTE:
For DEVICE MODE to work at least one device must be set to start the timer. See programming function 8-1-5.
Once started, the evacuate timer is not stopped by pressing ALARM SILENCE, although ALARM SILENCE will still silence
the sounders once they have been activated. Disabled sounders are never activated by the evacuate timer.
8-1-5 Device Starts Evacuate Timer
Allows you to specify which detectors will start the Evacuate Timer.
The Evacuate Timer must be in DEVICE MODE to be activated by specific devices. See programming function 8-1-4.
8-1-6 Enable / Disable Delays
This function allows the user to configure the DELAYS ACTIVE key behaviour. The DELAY ACTIVE can be pre configured as:
●
BUTTON ( allow button to be pressed ON/OFF)
●
ACTIVE ( always ON)
●
INACTIVE ( always OFF)
8-1-7 Configure Extended Delays
This functionality enables the possibility of having a 2nd stage delayed operation of programmed Sounders and I/O’s in a
way that after acknowledgement of reported alarm before 1st stage, programmed delays are extended so that a local
inspection can take place.
●
Extended delay ‘time of inspection’ delay is programmed.
●
“Time of acknowledgement” delay is normally configured to sounders, I/O’s or both in functions 4-6 and/or 5-7.
●
In case of a Fire Alarm, if the “Alarm Silence” key is not pressed before 1st stage delay is elapsed, programmed
sounders and I/O’s will be activated.
●
If “Alarm Silence” is pressed within the 1st stage timer, 2nd stage delay starts. Alarm silence key LED blinks while the
delay is running until time is elapsed (activation) or a second press of “Alarm Silence” key.
●
If the “Alarm Silence” key is pressed a second time, the sounder activation is canceled but programmed I/O’s will be
activated.
●
I/O’s activation is only canceled with panel reset.
8-1-8 Configure Disablement Timer
This menu configures a timer to automatically re-enable all disablements after a selected time.
It will show the running timer countdown after a disablement has been set.
To extend the countdown timer press the 2

NOTE:
The “Selective Disablements” are not affected with this setting.
