time must not exceed 10 minutes.
Fault delay
This field controls how long it takes the panel to signal a
Mains failure. The amber signalling LED (or power supply
fault) and the relevant event will appear on the display. For
the Delay to alarm duration, an input device programmed
with Delay to alarm time generates and Alarm status when
the Delay to alarm time elapses.
Delay to alarm signals include:
 An audible signal emitted by the control panel.
 Blinking on the Delay to alarm LED; this LED is on
the repeater FC500 only.
 The display message.
 The activation of outputs with programmed delay
to alarms.

When the control panel is in Night mode, the Silence delay
is the maximum silence time of the outputs. To disable the
Silence duration time, click the checkbox Disabled located
