What is in-suite signal silence?
In-suite signal silence is a form of automatic alarm silencing that can be enabled for
correlation groups. The function is used in residential complexes to minimize the
annoyance of false alarms within living quarters. When an alarm input device
activates, evacuation signals activate normally. After a minute, alarms in living
quarters outside the alarm zone deactivate briefly, which gives building personnel
time to investigate the problem. Room and hallway evacuation signals in the alarm
zone and hallway signals throughout the building remain active.
If the alarm has not been cleared within 1 to 10 minutes, or if a subsequent alarm
occurs, all signals resound. The shutdown period can be adjusted at the panel. In-
suite signal silence can be turned off completely at the panel by setting the Suite
Signal Silence option to Off. This setting is found at Program > Advanced Program >
Panel Operation.
Notes
• Only alarm events can initiate in-suite signal silence.
• Only the first alarm is silenced by in-suite signal silence. Any additional alarms
sound as programmed and are not automatically silenced.
• In-suite signal silence applies only to output devices and NACs that are configured
as silenceable. It cannot be used in local alarm signaling applications.
