SIA False Alarm Reduction Installations: Quick Reference
Caution
Fire Alarm Verification feature (Auto Verified Fire Zone) is supported on the DSC Wireless Smoke Detector, Model PGx916
and PGx926. The fire alarm delay is 40s.
Notes:
Programming at installation may be subordinate to other UL requirements for the intended application.
Cross zones have the ability to individually protect the intended area (e.g. motion detectors which overlap).
Cross zoning is not recommended for line security Installations nor is to be implemented on exit/entry zones.
There is a communication delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45
seconds at the option of the end user by consulting with the installer.
The security system shall be installed with the sounding device activated and the communicator enabled for transmission
using SIA or CID format.
