See also CSID Code on page 74.

Alarm Abort period has expired (see page 72).
Zone Tampers
Yes
– The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’s tamper circuits
being triggered.
No
– The installer must reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’s tamper circuits
being triggered. The alarm abort period does not apply.
Note:
This setting is required for
INCERT approval.
System Tampers
Yes
– The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a tamper.
No
– The installer must reset the system after a system tamper alarm. The alarm abort
period does not apply.
Note:
This setting is required for INCERT approval.
A system tamper can be caused by, for example:
Operating a lid/back tamper switch on a device.
Applying a voltage higher than approximately 3V to the TR input from a external
siren.
Detecting Jamming or a Supervision failure when either of these options are set to
Tamper see page 72.
If a tamper occurs when the system is set, the control unit classifies this as an
unconfirmed or confirmed alarm. The reset follows the alarm reset option NOT the tamper.
Confirmation
Confirmation Mode
The options in
Confirmation Mode
depend on whether you are using an EU or UK control
unit:
For EU control units, Basic confirmation mode is always used and
Confirmation
Mode
contains two options:
Sounder On
(page 64) and
Siren On
(page 65).
For UK control units,
Confirmation Mode
contains three options:
Basic
,
DD243
and
BS8243
. The options in the
Confirmation
menu depend on which of these three
options you select.
The setting for
Confirmation Mode
determines the events the control unit requires to create
a "confirmed alarm":
Basic (default and only setting for EU control units)
– A confirmed alarm is
generated when a second zone alarm is activated while the partition is in an
alarm state.
BS8243 or DD243 (UK control units only)
– A confirmed alarm is generated when
a second zone alarm is triggered within the period of the
Confirmation Timer
setting, and in the same partition as the first zone alarm. If you select either of
these options, additional options are displayed to define the meaning of a
confirmed alarm.
