Figure 27: Properties in the detail editor of an automatic fire detector
'Direct activation of external AI'
This setting specifies which conditions must be fulfilled so that the external alarm
indicator is activated directly.
●
'No direct activation': The external alarm indicator is not activated directly.
●
'By the ZONE of the detector in the same base': The conditions are fulfilled
when the event was triggered by any given device in the 'Zone'.
●
'By the DETECTOR in the same base': The conditions are fulfilled when the
event was triggered by the detector with the external alarm indicator.
In the detail editor of the assigned 'Zone', you can set level at which the external
alarm indicator will be activated:
●
In 'PRE-STAGE' and 'MAIN STAGE'
●
Only in 'MAIN STAGE'
This setting is not possible in 'Zones' without 'PRE-STAGE'.
In addition to the direct activation, you can assign and configure a control with the
external alarm indicator. You will find more information on this in chapter ''Control'
'External AI activation in detector/walk test'
This setting specifies whether the external alarm indicator is activated in 'Detector
test' or 'Walk test' mode. The checkbox can only be activated if direct activation is
configured for the external alarm indicator.
'Direct activation of base sounder'
This setting specifies which conditions must be fulfilled so that the base sounder is
activated directly:
●
'No direct activation': The base sounder is not activated directly.
●
'By the ZONE of the detector in the same base': The conditions are fulfilled
when the event was triggered by any given device in the 'Zone'.
●
'By the DETECTOR in the same base': The conditions are fulfilled when the
event was triggered by the detector with the base sounder.
