03 – Sys Bell Dur
(Default = 015 Minutes)
When the Sys Bell Dly has expired, the duration of the external bell output can be
controlled by the value of this timer. This timer is used only if the system is full set and the
Global Bell Time configuration option is selected (see page 75). Otherwise, the ward Bell
Duration timer (page 57) is used.
04 – Anti Mask (Default = 005 Seconds)
A masking zone or a zone that has a masking status (page 29), must remain active for
the duration of the Anti Mask timer for a masking alert or masking outputs to activate.
05 – Line Fault
(Default = 030 Seconds)
This timer delays the audible line fault indication when a telephone line fault occurs. The
display and any PSTN Line Fault outputs (page 44) are not affected.
06 – AC Off Delay (Default = 030 Seconds)
This timer delays the AC Mains Fault alert and outputs programmed as Mains Power Off
(page 45) when the mains power is removed.
07 – Soak Test (Default = 014 Days)
This timer determines the length of time that a Soak Test (page 30) is applied to a zone. If
the timer is set to 000, zones will remain on test until the Soak Test attribute is removed.
08 – Exit Settle (Default = 005 Seconds)
Detectors that are on the exit route sometimes take several seconds to settle after
activation. This timer is used to provide a delay to ensure that detectors used by Final Exit
(page 27) or Exit Terminator (page 27) zones are not still active when the panel sets the
ward.
09 – 2nd Entry Dly (Default = 000 Seconds)
When a ward Entry Delay timer (page 57) has expired, the 2nd Entry Dly timer starts to
count down. If at the end of this time the ward has not been unset, a full alarm (page 26)
is generated for the relevant ward, unless overridden by option 1-8-4 (page 72).
10 – Double Knock (Default = 010 Seconds)
This is the “Double Knock” time window in which a specified number of zone activations
must occur to generate an alarm condition, or the zone must remain active for the
whole duration of this time to generate an alarm condition. This applies only to zones that
have the Double Knock attribute (page 30).
The number of zone activations needed is determined by the Double Knocks counter
(page 61).
11 – Abort Period (Default = 060 Seconds)
This timer controls the duration of the output types Alarm Abort (system output, page 47)
or Alm Abort (ward output, page 53).
12 – Abort Delay (Default =180 Seconds)
This timer is relevant for certain alarm conditions that require an engineer or remote reset.
If a user silences the alarm within the Abort Delay time period, the alarm will not require
an engineer or remote reset. When an alarm occurs, the Alarm Abort (page 47) or Alm
Abort (page 53) output is activated only if the system is unset within this period. If the
system is unset after this period, the output is not activated.
