System Operation
Smoke Alarm Verification
10.7.2 Double Interlock Zone Releasing
A Double Interlock Zone uses a minimum of two addressable detectors, a designated manual release switch, and an interlock switch input.
An interlock switch is typically a dry-contact pressure switch and will be referred to as an interlock/pressure switch in this document.
Conditions Required for a Pre-Alert Output Activation
If any single addressable detector is activated, the “Pre-Alert” output will activate. This alerts the user that the initial stages required for a
release condition are present. (Also refer to Table 10.4.)
Conditions Required for a General Alarm Output Activation
If two addressable detectors, a manual release switch is activated, or an interlock switch is active, the “Pre-Alert”, and “General Alarm” out-
puts will activate.
Conditions Required for a Release Output Activation
Any release requires the activation of an interlock switch, and either a manual release switch or 2 activated addressable detectors. When
these conditions are met, the “Release” and “General Alarm” outputs will activate, and the “Alert” output will deactivate.
10.8 Smoke Alarm Verification
Figure 10.2 illustrates how the Smoke Alarm Verification cycle operates.

During the Confirmation Period, if there is no alarm indication, then the system will return to normal operation.
