88 Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual
Option Description
Printer: Yes or No. This controls whether event information is sent to the printer
Coder: four-digit coded output that is played in response to alarm conditions (00-
00-00-00 to 99-99-99-99)
Dialer:
Acct 1 2: Event information is sent to both dialer accounts
Acct 1: Event information is sent to dialer account one
Acct 2: Event information is sent to dialer account two
None: Event information is not sent to the dialer
NET: Yes or No. Controls whether event information is sent to the connected
network
CID: Contact ID event code (000 to 999)
Day sensitivity Set the daytime smoke level sensitivity to least, less, more, normal, or most.
Night sensitivity Set the nighttime smoke level sensitivity to least, less, more, normal, or most.
Day prealarm% Set the daytime prealarm percentage to Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90
percent. This is the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an
actual alarm event is indicated. The percentage is based on the sensitivity level
selected above. For example, if you select normal sensitivity and select 50 percent
for prealarm, when smoke levels reach 50% of the normal smoke level required to
initiate an alarm, a prealarm event will be indicated.
Night prealarm% Set the nighttime prealarm percentage to Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90
percent. This is the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an
actual alarm event is indicated. The percentage is based on the sensitivity level
selected above. For example, if you select normal sensitivity and select 50 percent
for prealarm, when smoke levels reach 50% of the normal smoke level required to
initiate an alarm, a prealarm event will be indicated.
Base type Set to the type of base (standard, relay, isolator, or sounder) being used with the
detector.
Follow This option controls the conditions that will activate the relay or sounder detector
base. Select from the following values:
Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings:
• The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is
set for alarm verification.
• If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the
detector goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the
alarm restores.
• The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter
how the detector is configured.
Riser: The base is triggered individually by the panel (sounder bases only)
None: A correlation group triggers the base. “None” can be applied to both relay
and sounder bases, and is used for relay bases configured as latched output
devices.
