Alarm Times
Bell Ring Time
In case of an Alarm (All Types), your Bell and internal sounders will sound for this time (1 to 99
minutes or continuous).
Note.
Local Authority Noise and Pollution Act 1974.
Noise ---- limited to a maximum of 20
minutes.
Bell Delay Time
This is the time in the range of 1 to 99 minutes or no delay after, an intruder alarm has been signalled,
before local indication is given by activating Bells Sounders etc. Your local police may state a
requirement for this setting.
Sounder Tones
The Abacus panel will generate different frequency; duration and volume of tones to indicate various
warnings to you as you operate the system.
Keypad Tone
Each time a key is pressed, a confirmation keypad tone is produced. – A short bleep at low volume.
Confirmation Tone
A 1 second bleep is given as a confirmation tone at normal (as exit tone setting)
or low volume (i.e.
panel silent Part Set confirmation – version 7000 software).
Chime Tone
A tone of pulses is produced for 2 seconds when an Exit Terminator (doorbell) is pressed, or a zone
that you have programmed to chime, is activated when unset. At a volume set by the installation
engineer.
Exit Tone
When the exit timer is running a continuous warning tone is produced. If an exit zone detector is
activated the tone is pulsed until detector is clear. The volume is as set by the installation engineer.
Part Setting Tone
When the entry timer is started, a slow pulsed warning tone is produced. The volume is as set by the
installation engineer.
Entry Tone
When the entry timer is started, a fast pulsed warning tone is produced. The volume is as set by the
installation engineer.
Note.
The engineer sets the volume for Chime, and Exit and Entry tones.
Alarm (Tamper or Bad Set) Tone
When an alarm tone is required, the Abacus panel generates, at full volume, a warbling tone, until
either, a valid code is entered, or bell ring time expires.
