19.4 Full and local alarms
The type of alarms generated by the SPC system can vary depending on the type of zone that triggered the
alarm activation. The vast majority of alarms require a visual (strobe) and audible (bell) indication of an
intrusion to the premises or building.
By default, the first 3 physical outputs on the SPC controller are assigned to the external bell, internal bell,
and external bell strobe. When activated, these 3 outputs together provide sufficient warning of an alarm
condition to persons located inside or within the immediate environment of the building or premises where
the intrusion has taken place.
Full and local alarms on the SPC activate the following physical outputs:
l
Controller Output 1: External Bell
l
Controller Output 2: Internal Bell
l
Controller Output 3: Strobe
For details on how to wire the bells and strobe, see
