NOTE:
The Sounder Groups must be defined when PROGRAMMED is selected, because the default
group settings have all sounders set to silent. PRESET or PROGRAMMED does not affect any sounder
delay settings.
4-2 Configure Sounder Groups
Allows all the Sounder Groups to be defined. A Sounder Group can consist of any combination of sounders. 512 Sounder
Groups can be defined.
For each sounder:
‘C’ indicates continuous operation.
‘S’ indicates silent (no) operation.
‘P’ indicates pulsing operation.
A Sounder Group can assign Conventional Sounder outputs and/or Loop Sounders in the loop.
Group 512 is the Common Sounder Group. This is always operated when Sounder Group operation is turned on and a
fire occurs.
When a fire occurs, all the Sounder Group information for the detector in fire is combined: the device Sounder Group is
combined with the Zone Sounder Group and the Common Sounder Group. ‘P’ pulsing will override ‘S’ silent and ‘C’
continuous will override ‘P’ pulsing.
When a subsequent fire occurs, the new Sounder Group information is added to the existing Sounder Group information.
‘P’ pulsing will override ‘S’ silent and ‘C’ continuous will override ‘P’ pulsing.
NOTE:
● If Sounder Groups are defined then it is essential to set 4-1 Sounder Configuration to
PROGRAMMED, otherwise all the system sounders will be activated by any fire event.
● Individual detectors can be set not to activate Common Sounder Groups, Zone Sounder Groups or all
sounders. See function 4-5 Inhibit Sounders for Device.
● If evacuate is operated (by setting CALL-POINTs to evacuate, then activating a CALL-POINT, for
example) the sounders will operate as if the sounder configuration were set to PRESET.
4-3 Disable Sounders
Allows specific sounders to be disabled or Enabled.
Disabled sounders will not be operated regardless of Sounder Configuration, Sounder Groups and evacuate requests.
‘E’ indicates enabled
‘D’ indicates disabled
When programming mode is exited, all sounders that have been disabled can be reviewed using the DISABLED (QUEUE
REVIEW) button.
4-4 Assign Sounder Group to Device
Allows a Sounder Group to be assigned to a detector. When the detector goes into alarm then the assigned Sounder
Group will be activated (Sounder Groups only function when Sounder Configuration is set to PROGRAMMED).
NOTE:
● When a fire occurs all the Sounder Group information for the detector in fire is combined: the device
Sounder Group is combined with the Zone Sounder Group and the Common Sounder Group. ‘P’
pulsing will override ‘S’ silent and ‘C’ will override ‘P’ pulsing.
● Do not use this function to assign sounders to Sounder Groups; it will have no effect. Assign
sounders to Sounder Groups using function 4-2 Configure Sounder Groups.
4-5 Inhibit Sounders for Device
Allows a device to be set so that is does not operate certain Sounder Groups. (Sounder Groups only function when
Sounder Configuration is set to PROGRAMMED).
The options are:
COMMON - The Common Sounder Group (512) is not activated when the device detects fire.
ZONAL - The Zone Sounder Group for the device is not activated when the device detects fire.
ALL - No sounders are activated when the device detects fire.
Inhibiting all sounders for a device will inhibit all sounders, even if the Sounder Configuration is set to PRESET.
COMMON or ZONAL inhibits will not inhibit the Sounder Group directly assigned to a device (function 4-4 Assign
Sounder Group to Device) if that device detects fire.
