Multiple Detector Operation
The panel is equipped to satisfy those who require a Multiple Detector Operation feature that is used to reduce unwanted false alarms.
If a multiple detector operation has been programmed, the panel will require the activation to two automatic detection devices before
it will enter the alarm condition. If a manual detection device is activated, then the panel will immediately enter the alarm condition.
Multiple Detector Operation Setup
Multiple detector operation can be set up as follows:
Go to the engineer menu, and select the
‘Cause/Effect’ icon.
The cause and effect table screen will be shown.
Press the
button to create a new cause and
effect.
The panel displays the ‘select cause’ screen; choose
the cause type (Zone or Panel). A list of sub options
will be displayed. For a multi detector operation,
select the cause
‘Mlt. devices in alarm’
.
Select the ‘DIRECT’ cause icon.
NOTE:
Multiple detector operation should not be used with detectors that are also using the Alarm Verification
feature.
