Confirmed 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 85).
User
The user can reset after a confirmed alarm.
Installer
The user cannot reset after a confirmed alarm; the installer must do it.
Note:
If a user silences an alarm within the
Abort Time
(page 95), the alarm will not
require an installer reset.
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 at the
appropriate keypads.
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.
Tamper as Tamper Only
This is available for only for UK control units and when
Confirmation Mode
is set to
BS8243. The purpose of the option is to ensure strict compliance with BS8243 when
reporting tampers to ARCs.
Enabled
When an unconfirmed tamper occurs, the control unit sends only “Tamper” to the
ARC and activates any output configured as type Tamper (this follows
Eaton’s
understanding that BS8243, Annex H.7.1 applies to all Grades).
Disabled
When an unconfirmed Tamper occurs the control unit sends “Tamper”, “General
Fault” and “Burg” to the ARC. In addition it activates any outputs of type Tamper and
General Fault. (See also Jamming on page 96 and Supervision on page 96.)
Note:
This option does not comply with BS8243.
The behaviour of the Disabled setting is used when
Confirmation Mode
is Basic or
DD243.
Note:
If you are using Fast Format communications, please ensure that one channel is
allocated for tamper. If you do not do this, the control unit reports tamper as an
unconfirmed Burg to ensure the condition is notified.
Masking
This option allows you to control whether the system responds to masking or trouble
events from those detectors that are capable of reporting them, are connected correctly to
the system, and are programmed with the Masking attribute.
The detector must use the wiring as shown in Figure 3 on page 15.
