Indicators, Controls and Operations

Monitor
This is a supervised general-purpose non-latching input used mainly for correlating to a relay circuit. No other
system condition occurs as a result of its activation (short-circuit), although it is supervised for Trouble (open-circuit).
Trouble-Only
The Trouble-Only circuit monitors a Trouble Condition from an external device such as QX-5000 Audio System.
Both open and short circuits generate a non-latching Trouble condition.
Indicating (Signal) Circuits Types
Silenceable Signal
The Silenceable Signal circuit is used for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may be silenced
either manually or automatically. While sounding, these devices follow the pattern appropriate for the condition: the
configured Evacuation Code (default is Temporal Code) during Single-Stage Alarm.
Non-Silenceable Signal
The Non-Silenceable Signal Circuit is used for audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may
not
be
silenced either manually or automatically. While sounding, these devices follow the pattern appropriate for the
condition: the configured Evacuation Code (default is Temporal Code) during Single-Stage Alarm.
Silenceable Strobe
Silenceable strobes will be silenced when the “signal silence” key is pressed. For synchronous strobes see
supported protocol/devices
section.
(NB: Strobes do not support any code pattern
.
)
Non-Silenceable Strobes
Non-Silenceable Strobes will not be silenced when the “signal silence” key is pressed. For synchronous strobes see
supported protocol/devices
section.
