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.

FUNCTIONALITY
8-1-4 Configure Evacuate Timer
Allows the evacuate timer to be enabled and the duration of the timer to be set.
The evacuate timer runs in parallel to all other events. Once triggered it starts counting down, when it
expires all sounders are activated. This means various sounder groups may be activated in the meantime
(and even silenced) but when the evacuate timer expires all sounders not sounding are activated.
10 minutes is the maximum duration.
The Evacuate Timer can be set to:
DISABLED
DEVICE MODE
GLOBAL MODE
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.
8-1-5 Device Starts Evacuate Timer
Allows you to specify specific detectors that 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.
