After selecting the input cause, the panel displays a
screen to select the following effect options:
Panel address:
Leave as zero if the output effect is on this local
panel, otherwise set to the network address of the
destination panel.
Output retrigger:
This defines whether the sounders will resound
from a new alarm if they had been previously
silenced.
Select the output type (Point, Local I/O, zone or
Panel). Depending on the OUTPUT type chosen, the
panel will display a list of sub options. For more
information on output options see the Cause &
effect section of this manual.
For this example we will select ‘Panel (Evacuation
on Sounders)’ as the effect.
Press the

will ask if you want to save the changes.
Press tick
to save the changes, or press to

Multiple detector operation will now be
programmed, and ready for testing.
When using multiple detector operation in an area, the system design should allow for a minimum of two detectors in that area.
NFPA 72 requires that the spacing of those detectors is reduced to 0.7 times the usual detector spacing to help prevent unnecessarily
long alarm response times.
