Output activation
– delay override
In the event of fire alarm, all outputs will activate as programmed automatically. That is, without any manual
intervention.
There is a special case where sounders or fire routing outputs have a programmed delay configured. In this
case, upon reception of an alarm, the fire panel will enter the “delayed activation” state. A “delayed activation”
involves that sounders and/or Fire Routing outputs are inactive for a pre-defined period after the reception
of an alarm. After being configured, delays can be manually activated and deactivated with user access level
2 by pushing the delays on-off button. They may also activate and deactivate periodically following a pre-
defined schedule.
Delays can be programmed to periodically activate and deactivate following a predefined guideline (see
section 5.6.1.9).
During the “delayed activation” state, the “delay ON” LED
" will blink together with the corresponding
“Sounders ON” (
) or "Fire routing ON" LED (
). indicating that these outputs will activate after the
pre-programmed delay has expired.
The output activation delay can be cancelled (delay override) by pushing the “delays ON/OFF” button
"delays ON/OFF" orl button
"sounders ON/OFF". No password is required to perform this action.
Note that delayed activation can also be replaced by an alarm that does not have a programmed delay.
Typically, the Manual Push Buttons are configured to initiate alarm notification without delay (panel
configuration allows you to define whether or not delays apply to manual push button "MCP" alarms.

Resetting the fire panel
The fire alarm condition can only be reverted by the reset operation. The reset operation is triggered by
pushing the reset button and entering the operator or installer password.
The reset operation will revert the fire panel to the quiescent functional condition. That is, it will stop all the
alarm indications and clear all the alarm events from the screen. Note that, right after the reset, the panel
will re-evaluate the status of all its loop devices. Therefore, the system will immediately enter again into
alarm status if fire stimulus (from detectors and/or manual call points) are still present.
