Why perform a learn?
Learning the alarm
4
1.
Press ‘+’ and ‘-’ together. When released P
Ξ0
will
be shown on the display.
2.
Press ‘+’ until option 7 is shown (P
Ξ
7).
3.
Start the fire alarm sounding in the appropriate
location.
4.
Press ‘Set Time’ to start the learn process. There
must be no background noise while the alarm is
recording.
During the alarm process the display changes.
When the unit is initialising the learn,
two vertical bars will flash from side to
side.
When the unit is recording the sound,
three horizontal bars will flash up in
sequence.
When the unit is processing the
sound, one digit will chase round in
sequence. At this point the alarm may
be silenced.
Once the learn process is complete, the time will
again be displayed on the screen.
If an error code appears (Er), look at the ‘Error codes’
section on page 3 for further details.
In a hotel or commercial property, the sound level
at the bed head is required to be 75dB or greater. In
a domestic property where the sound level may be
lower, performing the learn cycle will improve the
unit’s response to the fire alarm.
If the unit is moved e.g. to another room, it will be
necessary to repeat the learn cycle.
Make sure any doors between the sounder and
pillow alarm are shut during the learn cycle.
If the alarm sound is generated by a bell, you
may find that the Agrippa is sensitive to general
background noise after the learning process. This
can be improved by selecting command option 8
(see page 2).
This can be done any time after completing the
learning process as long as the Agrippa has not
been returned to default settings. Once selected,
the display will show a rotating pattern for around
10 seconds.
If the unit has already been returned to default
settings, you will have to repeat the learning
process before selecting option 8.

It may be desirable to disable the acoustic circuitry
on the unit; e.g. to stop false triggering during
scheduled maintenance or cleaning or during a fire
test. This may be done by setting an alarm disable
time:
1.
Set an alarm time corresponding to the start of
the disablement.
2.
Choose command option 4 (see page 2).
3.
Set an alarm time corresponding to the end of
the disablement.
4.
Choose command option 5 (see page 2).
Command option 6 allows the checking of the
times.
5. To stop the disablement period in future, set
either the start or end time to 0:00 as per steps 1
and 2 or 3 and 4 above.
