Electro-Detectors
Sensitivity
The sensitivity can be adjusted by the control panel to the following settings.
High:
0.08dB/m (1.8%)
Medium:
0.12dB/m (2.7%) Always use for EN54 Part 7 detectors
Low:
0.20dB/m (4.4%)
Alarm Verify
The time period, in seconds, that a detector remains in alarm before sending an alarm signal.
Range: 1 to 20 seconds
The recommended value which conforms with third party type approval tests is 2 Seconds
Volume
The volume of the unit, when it is sounding, can be set inside the unit. We would recommend that this is left as its
default maximum setting which conforms to EN54-3 as tested. Care should be exercised when changing volume levels
as the appropriate sections of BS5839 should be considered. The type approved volume level quoted was measured at
the maximum volume setting.
High
Maximum
80dB at 1m*
Medium
75dB at 1m
Low
65dB at 1m
Quiet
Very Low Level
35dB at 1m
Off
No Sound
0dB
(*type tested to this volume. This was the minimum volume recorded in all directions. Depending on orientation a maximum of 90dB can be
achieved)
Area 1 and Area 2
In order to allow for sector sounding, a sounder unit can be programmed in to a logical area or group, eg 1
st
floor.
Usually the systems are set up as all out evacuate systems which ignores this setting and so does not matter what it is set
at. They default to 101 and 101 and it is recommended that they be left as this unless special cause and effects are being
used. The panel can be programmed so that different areas / groups of sounders can be operated. The sounders can be
put into two separate groups. If a panel instructs the system to sound a particular group then only these sounders
programmed to that group will sound. If the areas are left as area 0 then whatever the panel is programmed to then
sounders programmed into area 0 will always sound.
Output Timeout
This controls how long the unit will sound before automatically silencing. Once automatically silenced the panel will
remain indicating the alarm but the unit will be silenced. Should another alarm condition occur then the unit will
resound. This can be set in multiples of 30 minutes from 0 to 900 minutes. Setting the value at 0 will allow the unit to
sound continuously. The default value is 30 minutes.
