3.3.2.8.1 Mode:
This option is shown on the display for specific device types only. Refer to the appropriate protocol
application note for further information.
3.3.2.8.2 Delay
The value in this field defines the delay from detecting an alarm to entering the alarm condition. The
delay time can be changed in 1-second increments.
3.3.2.8.3 Alarm
Level
The Alarm Level is the level of the analogue value returned by the detector at which the panel will
enter a Fire Alarm Condition. Refer to the appropriate protocol application note for further
information.
3.3.2.8.4 Pre-Alarm
The Pre-Alarm Level is the level of the analogue value returned by the detector at which the panel
will enter a pre-alarm condition.
3.3.2.8.5 Minimum
Value
If the detector analogue output falls below the minimum value programmed, the panel will enter a
fault warning condition. Refer to the appropriate protocol application note for further information.
3.3.2.8.6 Special Sensitivity Mode SSM/Clock
In addition to the “SENSITIVITY ADJUST MODE”, a device can also run in a “SPECIAL
SENSITIVITY MODE” (SSM) under time-clock control.
All panels supports 10 independent, 7-day time clocks.
With the SAM/SSM Option highlighted, press the
button to view the Special Sensitivity Mode
settings. For example:
SPECIAL SENSITIVITY MODE (MULTI.SENSOR)
[SSM/Clock = 2 ][ Alarm = 55 ]
[ Mode = 5 ][ Pre-Alarm= 40 ]
[ Delay = 5s][ Min.Value= 8 ]
[SAM/SSM]
In the above example the panel is using special sensitivity mode 5 (and time clock number 2). Enter
“
0
” in the SSM/Clock field to cancel Special Sensitivity Mode.
A number must be entered in the SSM/Clock field to select the appropriate SSM number and time
clock. To view the time clock settings, highlight the SSM/Clock field, and press the
button.
For example:
[Time Clock 2]
DAY ON -> OFF ON -> OFF
MON
00:00
00:00 19:00 00:00
TUE 00:00 06:30 00:00 00:00
WED 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00
THU 00:00 00:00 00:00 00:00
The panel supports two independent times for each day of the week during which the SSM mode
will be switched on (i.e. during which the Special Sensitivity Mode settings are active)
In the above example the SSM will be active between 19:00 on Monday and 06:30 on Tuesday.
Press the
buttons to select the appropriate time field and use the
number
buttons to enter
the required times. Press the ‘
Esc
’ button to return to the previous menu display.
Every type of device (the device type is shown in the top, right hand corner) supports unique SSM
settings for each SSM/Clock number. In the previous example the Special Sensitivity Mode settings
have been defined for a Multi-Sensor that is using SSM/Clock number 2. If other Multi-sensors on
