Further recent additions to both Loop software and Site installer allows the programmer to select extra
features on the output programming box
Fig 22
2 extra tick boxes have been provided; the first is used to tell the output device to follow any delays
set in the T1/T2 menus on page 16.
If left unticked this device would follow the normal program – this is particularly useful on a beacon
which is used to warn the operator of an alarm situation before T1/T2 has a chance to time out.
The second is used to exclude the output from an Evacuate command. (Evacuate command is used
to override ALL output programming).
If, for example the system is part of a shopping precinct that send Evacuate commands to set the
outputs, then any zonal controls may be overridden, this box can be used to maintain any cause and
effects.
Sounder Settings
Globally, the sounder volume and tone can be set from the configuration menu described on page 15,
this could potentially cause issues if ALL of the sounders on the system were set to high volume.
Generally, the sounders should achieve 65 dba or 5 dba above any likely background noise. The
other requirement is to wake a sleeping person where the minimum sound is required to be 75 dba at
the bedhead.
In this instance individual sounder volumes can be programmed through the site installer program to
prevent the panel from becoming overloaded. This is achieved by a right click on the individual
sounder and choose ‘sounder settings’.
