Acre SPC42 - ATS Levels and Attenuation Specifications

Zone attribute Description
Unset Enable This attribute only applies to the KEYARM zone type. If set then zone activation will Unset the
system/area. Apply this attribute if it is intended that the user should only have the ability to
UNSET the system from a keyarm zone.
Tech Zone
Report
Allows a zone when opened, regardless of the mode to send an alarm to the ARC in FF, CID,
SIA and SIA extended. When areas are selected, the alarm will only be sent to the ARC to
which the area has been assigned to. This would be a “UA” Unknown Alarm followed by the
zone number and text if SIA extended is selected. It will also send an SMS to the end user and
engineer if select to do so when the unconfirmed alarm filter is selected.
Tech Zone
Display
Allows an opening zone to be displayed on the system keypad. The alert led should also
activate. When areas are selected it will only be displayed on the keypad which is assigned to
the area in which the zone has been selected. The alert may only be displayed on the keypad
when the area is in the unset mode and not in the Part A, Part B and set mode.
Tech Zone
Audible
Allows an activated zone to operate the buzzer. This will operate the same as the Tech Zone
Display in the different setting modes and on systems with areas.
Tech Zone Delay Allows the zone to have a programmable delay. The delay is variable from 0 to 9999 seconds
and will apply to all Tech Zones. The operation is the same as the Mains Delay timer, if the
zone is closed within the delay time, then no alarm is sent to the ARC, no SMS is sent to the
user and the Technical Output will not trip.
Note: The Technical Output will not trip until the delay timer has expired.
Armed report
only
Openings are reported only in armed mode.
Fire pre-alarm If enabled and a fire alarm occurs, a Fire Pre-alarm timer is started and internal bells and
buzzers are activated. (See Timers on page179.) If the alarm is not cancelled within the timer
duration, a fire alarm is confirmed, internal and external bells are triggered and an event is
sent to ARC.
Fire Recognition If enabled, a Fire Recognition timer is activated which adds extra time to the Fire Pre-alarm
timer duration until a file alarm is reported for the zone. See Timers on page179.
Seismic
Test/Automatic
Sensor Test
A Seismic zone type may be tested manually or automatically. This attribute allows automatic
testing to be enabled. See Timers on page179 for details of how to configure the timer that
determines how often the panel tests any seismic zones that have this attribute set. The
default value for the timer is 7 days.
Timed The ‘Timed’ attribute is used for Key Arm zones to delay the setting of an area. The delay
follows the exit timer for the area to which the key arm is associated.
Verification Select the configured verification zone to assign to this zone to trigger audio/video verification.
Force Set If enabled, the keyarm device can set the system, automatically inhibiting all open zones.
Auto Restore Enable this feature to automatically restore alerts on the system i.e. when the open zone that
triggered an alarm is closed, a manual restore operation on the keypad/browser is not
required. If disabled it prevents the user from restoring alerts by resetting the input that
triggered the alert.
