Programmable Outputs 207
27 Fire Alarm Verification
This feature is used on some commercial fire control panels to reduce false alarms on
smoke detectors. It is conceptually very similar to zone pulse count as used in some motion
detectors. Basically, a fire zone is allotted a pulse count of 3 pulses over a period of 3
minutes.
If the smoke detector trips, the voltage to the smoke detector is disconnected for 15 seconds
and then reapplied. No alarm has registered.
If within 3 minutes of the first trigger the unit triggers again, no alarm will be registered
and the voltage to the smoke detector will again be disconnected for 15 seconds and then
reapplied.
If a third trigger is detected within 3 minutes of the first trigger, (i.e.. 3 pulses in 3 minutes)
a fire alarm will be registered. Power to the smoke detector will be maintained to facilitate
unit identification via the detector memory.
This output should be connected to the negative side of any fire/smoke detector. To
configure an output for this feature, use the following settings.
EVENT TYPE = 2,7 POLARITY = 10
TIMEBASE = 2 MULTIPLIER = 15
The zone that the fire/smoke detector is connected to should be programmed as follows:
ZONE TYPE = 13 ZONE PULSE COUNT = 3
ZONE PULSE COUNT TIME = 15

These outputs can be remotely activated (Turned "On" or "Off") via the following methods:
1. Remote Codepad - Refer to the Master Code Functions - “Turning Outputs On/Off” on
page 87 for further information.
2. Remotely Via Alarm Link Software - Refer to your Alarm Link Instruction Manual for
further information.
2 Radio Control Output 1
This output will operate if you hold down button 3 on the 4-channel hand held Transmitter
when the system is armed or disarmed.
2 Radio Control Output 2
This output will operate if you hold down button 4 on the 4-channel hand held Transmitter
when the system is armed or disarmed. If you enable option 8 in LOCATION 436 on page
227, this output will not operate and will only arm the system in STAY Mode 1.
2 Radio Control Output 1 – Not In AWAY Mode
This output will operate when you hold down button 3 on the 4-channel hand held
Transmitter only when the system is disarmed or armed in STAY Mode 1 or STAY Mode
2. The output will not operate when the system is armed in AWAY Mode.
