Engineering Manual Engineer Menu 1-1
31
After setting the attribute, the zone is isolated for the period specified by the Soak Test
timer (page 59). If the zone is activated during this period, the activation is logged,
outputs of type Soak Test Fail (page 45) are triggered and the user is informed of the
zone failure after entering a user code. The test fail message is cleared only after
entering the Engineer's code.
If at the end of the test period no activations have occurred, the attribute is
automatically removed.
Note: The control unit resets the soak test time to zero whenever an engineer or installer
logs in or applies power to the control unit.
4– Omittable
Zones with this attribute can be omitted from the setting procedure by using User option
1-2 (see the Manager's Manual). If the Automatic Omits configuration option is selected
(page 74), zones that are active when the system is set are automatically omitted.
5 – Reset
This attribute is normally assigned to a zone that is connected to a vibration or smoke
detector. The zone is not monitored for approximately 12 seconds during the exit
procedure. This allows the sensor to stabilise, and prevents false alarms.
6 – Masking
Use this attribute only if the zone is a three-resistor zone used to detect sensor masking.
Refer to page 29 for further information.
7 – Entry
Zones with this attribute start the Entry Delay timer (page 57) when the system is part set
(i.e. not all wards are set) and respond as normal when full set. This attribute must be
assigned to all zones that are required to start the Entry Delay timer in the part-set
condition.
8 – Chime Tone 1
Zones with this attribute will cause the extension loudspeakers (connected to the control
panel) and keypad sounders to generate a single two-tone “chime” sound if chimes are
enabled for the zone's ward in User option 1-5 and the zone is triggered.
Chimes are generated only at keypad sounders and extension loudspeakers assigned to
the same ward(s) as the zone.
If you select the Chime Visible configuration option (page 74), the keypad displays the
zone number when a chime occurs.
Setting this attribute to YES automatically sets Chime Tone 2 or Chime Tone 3 to NO.
The attribute can also be set using User option 2-5.
9 – Chime Tone 2
This is similar to Chime Tone 1, but a double two-tone “chime” sound is generated.
Chime Tone 3
This is similar to Chime Tone 1, but a triple two-tone “chime” sound is generated.
