Pre-Alarm
Fig. 6:Common display pre-alarm
In the Pre-alarm status, the master box (MB) is not activated to route the alarm to the assisting
bodies. A Pre-alarm is signalled when an intelligent fire detector reaches the pre-alarm level or
when in a programmed twin-loop/twin detector connection a loop or a detector have detected a fire
alarm. The controls programmed in the customer data for this situation such as relay outputs to
actuate alarm devices are activated.
The Pre-alarm is automatically reset if no further signals are transmitted. The common display Pre-
alarm is extinguished and any activated alarm devices are switched off. If further alarm signals
occur, a fire alarm is automatically initiated and the master box (MB) is activated.
