Programming sounder bases for a local alarm signaling
application
1. Set the panel’s Event Notification option to Device
2. Configure the smoke detectors as follows:
Device Type: Smoke or Smoke Heat depending on the detector model
Message Line 1: SMOKE_<N>, where <N> can be the device address or other
number
Base Type: Sounder
Follow: Head
3. Configure the RM1 or CT1 module as follows:
Device type: Monitor
Message Line 1: 24VDC_RISER
Correlated zone and system alarm signaling
applications
Correlated signaling applications are those in which sounder bases are triggered by
associated correlation groups. This includes zone alarm and system alarm signaling
applications. Detectors are added to the input side, and polarity reversal modules s
are added to the output side of one or more correlation groups.
Zone alarm signaling applications
What is zone alarm signaling?
In zone alarm signaling applications, detectors and sounder bases are grouped by
zone. All sounder bases within a zone automatically sound alarm signals when any
detector in the zone initiates an alarm event.
Since alarm signals are limited to the same notification zone, signal synchronization
is not required. The sounder bases, once activated, continue to sound an alarm signal
until:
• Smoke is cleared from the active detectors and the control panel is reset
• Signal Silence is pressed
• The control panel’s Auto Signal Silence timer expires, if programmed. This can be
from 5 to 30 minutes
