Fire
This parameter is programmed to a zone circuits that has fire detectors connected. When activated,
(regardless of panel setting states), it will instantly generate a fire warning, by pulse switching the bells
and sounders. If a communicator is fitted, it will signal to central station a fire signal.
Part
Part is a secondary programming to zones circuit programmed as Exit or Nite, in the Set mode they
work as described above. When the panel is Part Set any Exit or Nite circuit also programmed as Part
will be omitted.
24 Hour
This zone circuit type is programmed to a circuit that requires to generate a full alarm, (signal an
intruder alarm and ring bells etc) when the panel is set, and generate local alarm when panel is unset,
(internal sounders only). A typical use for this type of circuit is a fire escape door.
Exit and Entry Times
These times are set up by your installation engineer to give you time to safely operate your Abacus
alarm system.
Exit Time
Note. On communicating systems, the policy of some police forces is that exit timers are not
permitted, and the exit time is terminated by a setting push or shunt lock. Should your system
be installed in one of these area’s, your installation engineer will advise on your method of
final setting.
The exit time (1 to 99 seconds or continuous until setting signal is received) is set to give you time to
leave your premises. On entering the users code (factory Default is 1234), the exit timer is started, and
a warning sound is given to tell you to leave the protected location. The warning sounder is terminated
when the protected location is set. You are strongly advised to wait outside the protected location for
the sounder to stop, as conformation that the system is set.
Part Set Exit Time
The part set exit time is set for either (your installation engineer will have selected which):
1. Silent, on selecting part a timer is started (no setting warning produced) a short sounder
tone is given at the end of the exit to confirm Part Set.
2. Audible, on selecting Part the timer is started and a setting warning sounder operated, at the
end of the time programmed the sounder stops to confirm Part Set.
3. Either a pre-set time of 30 Seconds, or time as normal exit or exit terminator setting will
have been programmed to work with above silent or audible. Part Set options.
Note. When setting, if the panel is unable to set it will produce a ‘Bad Set‘ tone and give the
appropriate indication.
Entry Time
The entry time (1 to 99 seconds) is set to give you time to enter the protected premises, and unset the
Abacus system, without generating a false alarm. On activating the FX detector (or EX/FX in part set)
the warning timer is started and is terminated by entering the user code. If the user code is not entered
in the given time or you stray off the access route then an intruder alarm is generated.
