Warning time
Select the Warning time option to configure a warning time for applications with
warning tone requirements (second stage sounders).
Note: If a warning delay is required, this must be configured separately (see
“Sounder, fire routing, fire protection, and program output group delays” on page
91).
With this option, sounders emit the warning tone for a configured period of time
(the warning time). When the warning time ends, the sounder tone changes to
the evacuation tone (the warning tone continues to sound for the duration of any
configured delay that precedes the evacuation tone). See Figure 24 and
Figure 25 on page 98, below, for examples of delays with and without second
stage requirements.
Note: The sounder tones are configured in the corresponding device
configuration screen.
There are three configurable time periods, as shown in the table below.
