Siren On
Unconfirm
The control unit operates the siren for all alarms (and overrides any
Siren Delay
).
Confirm
When the system is set, the control unit does not activate the siren(s) until a
confirmed alarm occurs.
The behaviour of internal sounders and external sirens is described in Table 5.
Unconfirmed Reset
This is available for only for UK control units and when
Confirmation Mode
is set to DD243
or BS8243. The setting for this option overrides
System Options - User Reset
– Zone
Alarms
(see page 61).
User
The user can reset after an unconfirmed alarm.
Installer
The user cannot reset after an unconfirmed alarm; the installer must do it.
Note:
If a user silences an alarm within the Abort Time (page 72), the alarm will not
require an installer reset.
These options apply to intruder alarms only and not to Hold-Up Alarms.
Confirmed Reset
This is available for only for UK control units and when
Confirmation Mode

or BS8243. The setting for this option overrides

HUA Confirm Time
This is available for only for UK control units and when
Confirmation Mode
is set to
BS8243. This option determines the length of the confirmation time for confirmed HUAs.
If the confirmation time expires after an unconfirmed Hold-Up Alarm (HUA), and the Hold-
Up Device (HUD) is still active, the control unit omits the active device and communicates
“Omitted HUD” to the ARC. If the system is unset, the control unit displays an alert.
If you wish to generate a confirmed HUA for test purposes only, you can set the HUA
confirm time to 0.
Note:
The time must be between 8 and 20 hours to comply with BS8243:2010 5.4.1.2.
