Swinger Shutdown Count For Siren

Location Description
323
Swinger Shutdown Count For Siren (0 - 15)
Table 86: Swinger Shutdown Count For Siren Location
This location determines the number of times the sirens can be triggered before any lockout options
will take effect. A minimum of one zone must be programmed for lockout siren for this location to be
effective. Refer to Zone Options 1 on page 175 to program zones for lockout siren.
Only alarms triggered from zone inputs will increment the swinger shutdown counter. This means
alarms such as codepad panic, access denied and any other system alarms will not effect the swinger
shutdown count.
While the sirens are operating, the counter for the sirens is only incremented by the first zone that
causes the alarm. Any other zones that are triggered during siren run time will not effect the counter.
While the dialler is on line, its counter is only incremented by the first zone that causes the alarm.
Any other zones that are triggered while the dialler is on line will not effect the counter.
When the swinger shutdown count (As programmed in “LOCATION 323”) has been reached, all
zones that have been triggered will be locked out according to their individual lockout settings.
Example
All eight zones have been programmed for lockout siren with a swinger shutdown count of 3. If zone
1 triggers an alarm, the swinger shutdown count will decrement by one after the end of siren run time
to a swinger shutdown count of 2.
After the siren run time has reset from the previous alarm, zone 2 triggers an alarm and reactivates the
sirens. After the sirens have reset, the swinger shutdown count has decremented again from 2 to 1.
If zone 3 also triggers an alarm after the sirens have reset from zone 2, the swinger shutdown count
has decremented from 1 to 0, therefore locking out all three zones from sounding the sirens again until
the system has been reset.
However, at this point in time, the swinger shutdown count for sirens has again a lockout count of 3
and the process of swinger shutdown for the remaining zones begin again until all zones have been
locked out.
The Swinger Shutdown Count For Siren is global to both Area 1 and Area 2 when using a
Solution Ultima 880 control panel that has been partitioned.
