FA-300-6L Installation and Operation Manual
27
Auxiliary Alarm Relay
The Auxiliary Alarm Relay functions the same way as the Common Alarm Relay in every respect except that it can
be disconnected by auxiliary disconnect with or without other correlated relays if it is programmed to do so (see
Configuration section). When configured
(
see Configuration section
),
the relay
can also be disconnected if signal
silence is active and reconnected if signal silence is de-activated.
Circuit Types
Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types
Non-Verified Alarm
A Non-Verified alarm is a “normal” type of alarm that can have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat detectors
attached to it. Activation of any of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition in the Fire Alarm
Control Panel. An Alarm condition causes the associated Circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to
illuminate red.
Verified Alarm
Verified Alarms are verified by a reset and timing procedure, and may include smoke detectors, heat detectors or
pull stations. Activation of pull stations or heat detectors will result in an alarm condition in the Fire Alarm Control
Panel within four seconds. Smoke detectors will be verified for a real alarm within 60 seconds, depending upon the
startup time of the devices being used. If four seconds is too long a response time for pull stations, then wire them
separately on a Non-Verified Alarm Circuit. An alarm condition causes the associated Circuit Status LED and the
Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Water Flow Alarm (Water flow Sensors)
Water Flow Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms except that any indicating circuits programmed to
these circuits (all are by default) are Non-Silenceable. Also, if Water Flow Retard Operation is enabled, these
circuits are sampled every one second. If ten samples are active within any 15-second interval, the Water flow
Alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated Circuit Status LED and the Common
Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Sprinkler Alarm (for Sprinkler Flow Sensors)
Sprinkler Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms unless Water flow retard operation is enabled. If Water
Flow Retard Operation is enabled, then these circuits are sampled every one second. If ten samples are active
within any 15-second interval, the Sprinkler Alarm is confirmed and processed. An Alarm condition causes the
associated Circuit Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
Non-Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Circuits)
Activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the amber Common Supervisory LED to
illuminate. The buzzer will sound at fast rate. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will clear
(as long as there are no other Supervisory conditions in the system) and the Circuit Status LED will turn off.
Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Devices)
Activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the amber Common Supervisory LED to
illuminate. The buzzer will sound at fast rate. If the circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will NOT
clear.
Note:
Do not use Retard Operation with any external retarding device; maximum retard may not exceed
120 seconds.
