Ward Timer Types
In step 2, choose the timer type:
1 – Exit
(Default = 030 Seconds)
This determines the time allowed to exit a ward once the option to set it has been made.
The exit time is used by, for example, the Timed Exit setting mode (page 65).
2 – Entry Delay (Default = 015 Seconds)
When the ward is set and the entry procedure is initiated, either by activation of the Final
Exit zone (page 27) or by activation of a Normal Alm zone that has the Entry attribute
(page 31) set to Yes, the Entry Delay timer starts to count down. The timer should allow
the user sufficient time to enter a valid user code after entering the building. If a valid
user code has not been entered when the timer reaches zero, an internal alarm (page
26) is generated and the 2nd Entry Dly timer (page 59) is started. If the 2nd Entry Dly timer
reaches zero, a full alarm is generated, unless overridden by option 1-8-4 (page 72).
3 – Bell Delay (Default = 000 Minutes)
When a full alarm is triggered for the selected ward, activation of the external bell and
strobe outputs can be delayed by the value of this timer. This timer or Sys Bell Dly (page
58) is used, depending on the setting of the Ward Bell Time/Global Bell Time configuration
option (page 75).
The Bell & Strobe ward attribute (page 38) determines which wards trigger the
bell and strobe outputs.
Bell Delay or Sys Bell Dly are considered to be zero if Bells on Unconf (page 77) is
selected.
4 – Bell Duration (Default = 015 Minutes)
When the Bell Delay for the selected ward has expired, the duration of the external bell
output can be controlled by the value of this timer. This timer or Sys Bell Dur (page 59) is
used, depending on the setting of the Ward Bell Time/Global Bell Time configuration
option (page 75).
If Confirmation On and Bells on Unconf are selected (page 77), the bell and
strobe outputs switch off and the system re-arms if a second zone does not
trigger within the Confirmation time (page 58). If a second zone does trigger,
causing a confirmed alarm, the bell output (but not the strobe) is switched off
when the Bell Duration or Sys Bell Dur timer has expired. Bell Duration and Sys Bell
Duration are started after any programmed bell delays.
