Section 4: Configuration
Bell/siren operation
Each partition must have a siren. The system siren connected to the bell output of the alarm controller can be mounted in a central
location within hearing range of all partitions. Each partition can also have wireless sirens activated only on the assigned partition.
See "Wireless Programming" on page 139
for details.
Single siren output operation
With a siren shared across all partitions, control over activation/deactivation of the output depends on the partition that initiated the
alarm sequence. Only the partition that originated the alarm can deactivate the bell output.
Global zones, such as smoke detectors shared by multiple partitions, can deactivate the siren on all partitions the zone is assigned to.
Multiple siren output operation
When multiple sirens are used in the installation, they can be programmed to sound alarm conditions for all partitions, or for
individual partitions by using a partition enable mask.
If hardwired sirens are used, this is accomplished via bus power supplies with a supervised high-current output. The output is then
programmed as a Fire and Burglary PGM output type.
Note:
Only the first output of the HSM2204 output module has bell supervision. Some conditions, such as an installer system test,
may override the partition assignment and cause all sirens to activate. User system tests only activate the sirens/outputs assigned to
that partition.
Interconnected smoke detector operation
When the Fire Alarm toggle is enabled ([804][001]-[248] option 14) on a zone with a PowerG smoke detector, any fire alarm on a
partition assigned to the detector activates the sounder. Global fire alarms activate the sounder on all smoke detectors. The sounder
on interconnected smoke detectors follows the panel bell for duration of activation ([014] option 8, Fire Bell Timeout). If this option is
disabled, interconnected smoke detectors continue to sound the alarm until the bell is deactivated on the panel.
The following alarm types cause interconnected smoke alarms to sound:
l
Fire zones
l
[F] key alarms
l
2 Wire smoke input
4.5 Trouble indicators
Both audible and visual trouble indications are available on all partitions. For more information, see
Programming section [013] option 3 controls whether or not troubles are indicated when the alarm system is armed.
4.6 Keypad partition setup
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions. In general, a partition keypad controls the partition it is
assigned to. A Global keypad controls all partitions. Global keypads should be placed in common areas of the premises, such as
points of entry or reception areas, where the ability to arm and disarm more than one partition at a time is required.
Partition keypads can also be temporarily loaned to other partitions.
To select a keypad operating mode:
1. Enter Installer Programming: [*][8][installer code].
2. Select [861]-[892] to program keypads 1 to 32.
l
Press [000] for partition assignment.
l
For Global operation, key in 00.
l
To assign a keypad to a partition, key in 01-32 for partitions 1 to 32.
3. Press the [#] key and repeat step 2 for next keypad. When finished programming all keypads, press the [#] key twice to exit
programming.
Users are assigned partition access rights via the [*][5] menu.
Loaned partition setup
To loan a keypad to another partition:
1. Press and hold [#] then key in a valid access code. The keypad switches to Global display.
2. Use the arrow keys to scroll through available partitions. Press [*] to select. The keypad is temporarily loaned to another partition.
