120 2X-A Series Installation Manual
Outputs assigned to an output group (for example, output group 5 SND) are
activated depending on alarms in the fire network and with the corresponding
delays.
For example, if we have a one-loop control panel with the initial zone set to 100
and we want to configure sounder output group number 5, the following can be
configured with this option:
• No activation for zones 100 to 119
• Activation with a 10 second delay for zones 120 to 139
• Activation with no delay for zones 140 to 163
• No activation for remote zones (in this example, zones 1 to 99 and zones 164
to 9999 are remote zones). Remote zones are indicated as REMT on the
LCD.
This programmed output activation can be configured with the Configuration
Utility (recommended) or via the Activation configuration menu at the control
panel.
General delays
Select General delays to configure region-specific investigation times or
advanced delay options.
Configurable options for general delays are shown in the table below.
Table 63: Configurable options for general delays
Description
Investigation mode. Enables regional investigation time modes
(maximum acknowledgement time, extended fire routing delay).
Investigation time. Configures regional investigation time delays
(maximum acknowledgement time, extended fire routing delay).
Investigation time on acknowledgement. If checked, any
configured investigation time starts when the alarm is
acknowledged. If unchecked, any configured investigation time
starts when the alarm is detected.
Warning time. Configures the warning time when the control
panel is configured to use a warning tone for a second stage
sounders application. For standard applications with no warning
tone requirement, this time must be 0.
Warning time (extended). If checked, the warning tone (where
configured) will change to the evacuation tone only if a manual
call point alarm is detected.
Sounder silence disable time. Disables silencing sounders with
the Sounder Start/Stop button for a preconfigured time when a
sounder delay is running.
