Hold Up Alarm
– HUA (01)
Operating a device programmed as Hold Up Alarm (HUA) will start an alarm whether
the system (or part set) is set or unset.
The alarm response for HUA (audible, silent or displayed) depends on the options
selected by
HUA Response
(see page 56).
There may also be an alarm transmission to the ARC, depending on how you have
configured the system.
HUAs have an alarm sound that is distinct from other alarm types.
Fire Alarm - FA (02)
Smoke or heat detectors connected to Fire Alarm zones cause keypads,
loudspeakers and the external siren to give a pulsing fire signal (subject to the
Alarm
Response
; see page 46). Fire alarms operate whether the system is set or unset,
and will always trigger communications.
Note that a tamper from a hardwired smoke alarm on a Fire Alarm zone when the
system is unset will cause an internal alarm (keypad sounders and loudspeakers
only).
Normal Alarm - NA (03)
When triggered, a zone of type Normal Alarm will start an alarm provided the system
(or part set) is set.
24 Hour Alarm - 24 (04)
Activating this zone while the system (or part set) is unset causes an internal alarm
(keypads and loudspeakers). Activating this zone while the system (or part set) is set
causes an alarm from internal sounders and the external siren (subject to the
Alarm
Response
; see page 46).
Final Exit
– FE (05)
Zones of this type must be the last detector to be activated on exit, or the first to be
activated on entry. You can use zones of this type to complete the setting of the
system, or to start the entry procedure. See page 44 to set the exit mode type.
Note:
If you give a Final Exit zone any of the Part Set attributes, you can program
that zone to behave like a Normal Alarm zone if the user part sets the system. See
page 46.
Entry Route
– ER (06)
Use this zone type for detectors sited between the Final Exit door/detector and the
location where the system is set/unset. If the entry/exit timer is running when an Entry
Route zone is triggered, no alarm occurs until the entry/exit timer expires.
Note:
If you give an Entry Route zone one of the Part Set attributes, you can
program that zone to behave like a Final Exit zone if the user part sets the system.
See page 46.
Technical Alarm
–TA (07)
Use this zone type when you want to monitor equipment, for example a freezer,
without raising a full alarm. If a Technical Alarm zone is activated, the control unit
logs the event, generates a fault condition, and (if the control unit is correctly
programmed, see page 60) starts communication.
If the technical alarm occurs while the system is set, the system makes no audible
alarm. When a user unsets the system, the display shows an alert.
If a Technical Alarm zone is activated while the system is unset, the system starts an
alert immediately and gives a brief tone at keypads and loudspeakers every few
