Reflash Function
When using the GPA or GPB common alarm relays a reflash function can be
used to indicate that multiple alarms are occurring within the group. When an
alarm within the group activates the relay will change state and each time a
new alarm occurs within the same group the relay will revert to normal and
reactivate, (Reflash). The drop-down menu which allows selection of the
group includes selection of the group and reflash as an option.
Disable in System Test
A relay can be prevented from operating during System Test by selecting the
“Disable in System Test” check box shown on the previous page. For example
you may not need the audible to sound during system test, this feature allows
the user to disable the relay during the test cycle.
Disable in Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is an optional setting which allows the user to disable the visual,
audible and common relays during unmanned periods.
A relay can be prevented from operating whilst the annunciator is in sleep
mode by selecting the “Disable in Sleep Mode” check box shown above. For
example you may wish to disable the horn relays but allow the common alarm
relays to continue to operate as normal during unmanned periods.
Reflash Pulse Length
As indicated above the group relays can have a reflash feature enabled which
interrupts the output each time a new alarm occurs within the group. The
reflash pulse length can be set in tenths of a second to suit individual
applications.

“Assignment Field” of each relay
allows the user to set any of the Relays to:-
