How to Program a Manual Release Delay Switch
The following contains information needed to program a Manual Release Delay switch for a
monitor module.
Description
A monitor module—connected to a UL-listed manual station (such as the Notifier
NBG-12LRA)—used to initiate a manual release with 10-second delay time.
A Manual Release Delay switch overrides the FACP programmed Delay Time, but not Soak Time.
Multiple monitor modules can be programmed with a
MAN
REL
DELAY
type code. They work like
multiple conventional manual release switches on a conventional zone.
Program
Select a monitor module for the manual release function. While programming this
module (refer to Section 3.4.2, “Module Point”, on page 51 for instructions),
1. Select the
MAN
REL
DELAY
type code.
2. Enter the number of the desired releasing zone into the module’s zone map. The releasing zone
must be fully programmed (refer to Section 3.4.4, “Releasing Zone”, on page 57).
Example
A programming example of a Monitor module programmed for
MAN
REL
DELAY
switch
for Releasing Zone ZR05.
Figure B.11 Monitor Module Configured as a Manual Release Delay Switch
For example, program releasing zone ZR05 with a Manual Release Delay switch for the following
releasing selections: Delay Time = 15, Abort Switch = ULI, Cross Zone = NO, Soak Time = 30.
When the Manual Release Delay Switch activates, the control panel replaces the remainder of the
15-second Delay Time, if running, with a 10-second timer.
Examples:
1. The FACP programmed Delay Time begins its 15 second countdown. The Manual Release
Delay switch is pulled when the FACP delay timer has counted down to 12 seconds. The 12
seconds remaining in the countdown are overridden by the 10-second delay initiated by the
Manual Delay switch. In this example, the total time elapsing from FACP countdown initiation
to agent release is 13 seconds, less than the original 15 second FACP Delay Timer countdown.
2. The FACP programmed Delay Time begins its 15 second countdown. The Manual Release
Delay switch is pulled when the FACP Delay Timer has counted down to 8 seconds. The 8
seconds remaining in the countdown are overridden by the 10-second delay initiated by the
Manual Delay switch. In this example, the total time elapsing from FACP countdown initiation
to agent release is 17 seconds, more than the original 15 second FACP Delay Timer
countdown.
3. The FACP programmed Delay Time is not running (as would happen if the releasing station
were pulled before an alarm registered). The Manual Release Delay Switch is activated by the
pull station. Agent release will occur in 10 seconds.
