Neon
- Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel
This input may also be used with a manual external switch,
to provide an easier operation of the “Alarm Verification
Disable/enable” functionality.
6.4 System Setup - Zone connections - Intellizone
The system should have one or more zones connected to
automatic detectors. Manual call formats may also be con-
nected to intellizones but the alarm signal will be delayed
by the Intellizone Delay time.
6.5 System Setup - Zone assignment - Intellizone
To assign zones to the intellizone group set the required
corresponding microswitches on SW-B to ON (top posi-
tion).
Zones assigned to cross-zoning cannot be assigned to
the intellizone group. If both micro-switches are set, the
cross zone configuration takes precedence.
6.6 System Setup - Intellizone time delay
The Intellizone Delay can be set from the three micro
-
switches SW-A-6,7,8. The three switches form a binary
value from 0 to 7. Each unit corresponds to 10 seconds.
The table below summarizes the settings:

IMPORTANT: To configure an EN54-2 compliant installation,
do not exceed 30 seconds of Intellizone delay time
.
7. Outputs delay operation
The Neon panel implements the “Output delays” fea-
ture as defined in the EN54-2 standards.
“Output delays” refers to the process of delaying the acti-
vation of an alarming output, after the system enters the
general fire alarm state.
Indications
The
*OUTPUTS DELAY*
indicator shows the status of the
system as below:
• OFF:
No output delays have been programmed.
• ON:
Output delays are in effect for selected outputs
(once an alarm occurs).
• BLINKING:
Output delays have been programmed but
are currently disabled due to user operation.
7.1 Operation Overview and operation
The system consists of the following:
•
A group of zones that, when trigger an Alarm event,
will activate some Siren outputs with delay (called “De-
layed Zones”).
•
A group of zones that, when trigger an Alarm event,
will activate all Siren outputs without delay (called “Im-
mediate Zones”)
• A group of outputs (relays) that will always activate
without delay (called “Immediate Outputs”)
• A group of outputs (relays) that will activate with de-
lay if the Alarm is triggered by a “Delayed zone”(called
“Delayed Outputs).
Additionally, there is a predefined delay in access level 3
(dip switches SW-C-1,2,3) called “Output Delay”.
7.2 System behavior
The term “Delayed Zone” is only meaningful in the con-
text of Delayed outputs. Even “Delayed Zones”, will ac-
tivate the General Fire Alarm without delay.
The following list describes the behavior of the output de-
lay system:
• As soon as an alarm event is triggered by an “Immedi-
ate Zone” all Siren output relays are activated imme
-
diately.
• As soon as an alarm event is triggered by a “Delayed
Zone”:
○
The timer of the output delays is started with “Out-
put Delay” time.
○
Siren output relays not in the “Delayed Outputs”
group are activated immediately.
○
Siren output relays in the “Delayed Outputs” group
are activated after the “Output Delay” time has
passed.
7.3 System setup - Dip switches - Delay and Zone al-
location
The dip switches SW-C-(1 to 5) define the operation and
options of the output delays as follows:
SW-C-1,2,3:
This is the binary value of the output delay.
An output delay of 0 means that no outputs are delayed. In
this case the rest of the switches are ignored. Delay time
other than 0 activates the output delays. Values are shown
below:

Outputs delay time set
SW-C-4:
Delayed Zone selection
This option defines if all or half of the available zones are
used as “Delayed Zones”.
0:
All available zones are “Delayed Zones”
1:
The first half zones are “Immediate Zones”
SW-C-5:
Delayed Outputs selection
The setting of this switch defines the Output relays that
form the “Delayed Outputs” group.
0:
Only outputs 3 and 4 (Siren3 and Siren4) are “Delayed
Outputs”.
1:
All 4 Siren relays are “Delayed Outputs”.
If Relay Output 2 is allocated to the pre-alarm feature, it
is not affected by the above operation.
