The Soak Timer specifies the length of time (0000 to 9999 seconds) to dump releasing
agents when a zone activates. When the Soak Timer elapses, the control panel
automatically shuts off the releasing solenoids for the active zone. To program a Soak
Timer for a point, follow these instructions:
6HOHFW 6RDN On the Release Function Screen, move the cursor to the Soak value as
shown in Figure 43:

or 0001-9999 seconds to select the amount of time for the Soak Timer.

You can program the following module type codes—which have special releasing
functions—into the control panel.

Abort Switch
An MMX monitor module—connected to a listed abort station (such as
the Notifier ARA-10)—that performs abort functions. You can install
multiple Abort Switch modules that provide a logical “or” function, like
multiple conventional abort switches on a conventional zone.
Man. Release
An MMX monitor module—connected to a listed manual station (such as
the Notifier ARA-10 or NBG-10) that performs a manual release function.
A module programmed to Man. Release overrides all active Abort Switch
modules programmed to the same releasing zone. You can install multiple
Man. Release modules that provide a logical “or” function like multiple
conventional release switches on a conventional zone.
Rel Ckt Ulc
A CMX control module, or one of the four NACs on the panel, that
activates a releasing solenoid or other releasing device. The release device
—and all wiring to the release device—is fully supervised and usable with
limited energy cable. The release device activates when (a) an initiating
device programmed to the same zone activates (two devices if cross-
zoning is selected); and (b) the delay timer (if used) expires; and (c) no
Abort Switch (if used) is active. Multiple Rel Ckt Ulc types may be
programmed to the same releasing zone, and they all activate together
when the zone becomes active.
Release Ckt
A CMX control module that operates like a Rel Ckt Ulc module—except
the release device circuit is supervised for open circuits and ground faults
only. With this type code, do not use for the following:
•
an application requiring ULC Listing or with limited energy cable;
•
a REL-4.7K (panel output); or
•
a REL-47K (CMX module).
Rel End Bell
A CMX control module—supervised like a bell circuit—that activates
when a releasing solenoid shuts off. This type code is always non-
silenceable, and is only turned off by a System Reset. You must call out at
least one or more releasing zones in the device's CBE.
