Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual  253 
•  Separate audible signal circuits are provided for each floor. 
•  Audible signal circuits 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are located inside dwelling units. 
•  Audible signal circuits 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are located in hallways not within dwelling 
units. 
To enable in-suite auto signal silence, you will need at least ‘N+2’ correlation groups, 
where N = the number of floor areas. You will need: A correlation group for each floor, 
a hallway correlation group, and an “in-suite” correlation group. The following tables 
show the inputs and outputs for these groups.  
To create correlations for in suite signal silence, you’ll follow these general steps: 
1.  Create a set of correlations for each floor. 
2.  Create a single hallway correlation to control hallway sounders on all floors. 
3.  Create a single in suite correlation for all floors to turn off sounders inside dwelling 
units on all floors except the floor of alarm. 
Details of each step are described below. 
Creating a set of correlations for each floor 
Referring to the tables below, create a set of correlations — one for each floor. While 
the example given here is for a five-story building, you can adapt it to fit the number 
of separate floors (or other areas) in your application. Create one correlation for each 
floor (or area). These correlations ensure that if an alarm is detected on the floor, 
sounders located in dwelling units on the same floor will sound. 
On each floor, link all input devices on the floor (both inside dwelling units and in 
hallways) to the sounders inside dwelling units on the same floor. 
Notes: 
•  Set the alarm activation count for each floor correlation to 1. 
•  Do not enable in-suite signal silence.
