12.2 The events
Each event provides full details, including the name of the device, the zone it belongs to and the date
and time of its occurrence. The details are saved to the log and can be viewed via computer or control
panel, and are also indicated on the display and/or LEDs (refer to Chapter 5 - How to view events).
A device will generate a Fault event if a fault condition occurs, or an Early Warning event, if its
analogue value exceeds its Early Warning threshold.
If its value exceeds its Alarm threshold (this is a value for analogue devices, and an OFF/ON switching
signal for digital devices), it will generate an Alarm, Pre-alarm, Monitor, Supervisory or generic
Activation event in accordance with its Activation Type (as defined during the device programming
phase).
Depending on the programmed activation type of a device, it is possible to activate or ignore specific
zone signals.
• A device with “Alarm” activation type can activate the following signals: Pre-alarm, Alarm,
Evacuate, Extinction, Fire doors holder, Sprinkler on, Voice Alarm.
• A device with “Monitoring” activation type can activate Monitoring signals.
• A device with “Supervisory” activation type can activate Supervisory signals.
• A device with “None” activation type can activate the following signals: Stop extinction, Fire doors
holder, Change class, Voice alarm.
Devices can also activate Fault and Early Warning signals.
12.3 The signals
Each device can be programmed to activate various zone and control panel signals, and also to
activate one or more groups in relation to its own status (fault, pre-alarm, etc.). In turn, the signals
will be used to activate the respective outputs of each zone.
The signals that can be activated depend on the activation type of the device.
Following are the signals related to the zones and control panel that can be activated by the devices.
These signals are restricted by the zone parameters (e.g. Activate fire door in the event of pre-alarm,
etc.), by groups that activate or inhibit these signals, and also by zone interaction
:
Alarm
Signal used for alarm signaling, activated by “Alarm” points belonging to the
zone.
Evacuate
Signal for second Alarm level management (alarm confirmed by a manual
operation or after the expiry of a delay).
Extinction
Signal to be used for the activation of a the fire-extinguishing system.
Stop extinction
Activation of this signal will interrupt the countdown of the delay that precedes
activation of the fire-extinction system of the zone concerned. Any device that
activates this signal will block the respective zone extinction signal (whether
already active or about to activate).
Fire doors holder
This signal can be used to command the outputs that control the fire doors. It will
be generated either in accordance with the zone settings (Activate fire doors in
the event of...) or after a direct activation command (from devices, groups, etc.).
Pre-alarm
This signal activates during the pre-alarm time of one or more of the zone
detectors, and can be used to activate specific warning signals to alert Security
personnel.
Sprinkler on
This signal activates when one or more devices belonging to zone, and
programmed to generate the Sprinkler active signal activates (e.g. Flow detector
in sprinkler system pipes). This signal allows the system to handle separately an
alarm generated by a sprinkler that has activated.
Early Warning
This signal activates when one or more zone devices belonging to the zone, and
programmed to generate the Early Warning signal, exceeds the Early Warning
threshold value. This signal allows the system to activate signaling in response to
an anomalous rise in the values of some detectors.
