Prolong Delay
(black)
Applies to detection zones that are defined as Delayed
Action Detection Zones.
Used to prolong the delay period. A global functionality.
The delay is divided into two delay periods, Initial
Delay, T1 (configurable) and Prolonged Delay, T2
(configurable).
The (T1) delay period starts when a Fire Alarm signal
from a point is received. Actions will be initiated after
the T1 delay period has expired. Pressing Prolong
Delay will terminate T1 and the delay period T2 will
start.
The operation of delays to outputs for Fire Alarm
Devices (FAD) apply to:
detectors and/or
signals from specific zones
manual call points and/or
The operation of delays to outputs for Fire Alarm
Routing Equipment (FARE) apply to:

Block
(black)
Applies to the maritime version BS-200M only.
In a SOLAS Detection Zone (Safety of Life at Sea),
there is a two-minutes delay from when a Point enters
an alarm condition until the associated Detection Zone
initiates the activation of the configured Fire Alarm
Devices (FADs) and outputs.
During this period a countdown timer is shown on the
panel display and the user is allowed to press the
Block button to block the activation of FADs and/or
outputs during this two minute period.

Activate Outputs
(black)
If one or more detection zones have entered the Fire
Alarm state and are in their T1 or T2 periods
(described above; Prolong Delay), the delayed actions
can be immediately initiated by pressing Activate
Outputs. (Activation of a manual call point will normally
give immediate action, provided that no delay has been
defined.
