4-6 Sounder Delay Set-up
Allows the sounder delay to be set-up:
The sounder delay can be set to GLOBAL MODE, ZONAL MODE or DISABLED.
The sounder delay period is defined (to a maximum of 10 minutes).
The devices that initiate a delayed sounder activation are specified.
If the function is set to ZONAL MODE it is also necessary to set up the activation using Function 3-5 Zone Sounder
Delay Set-up.
The options for initiation are:
CALL POINTS ONLY - call-points start the delay timer. The sounder groups associated with the activated call-point will be
queued for delayed activation. Other devices will not start the delay timer and will activate their sounder groups
immediately.
DETECTORS ONLY - detectors start the delay timer. The sounder groups associated with the activated detector will be
queued for delayed activation. Call points will not start the delay timer and will activate their sounder groups immediately.
ANY DEVICE - any device will start the delay timer. The sounder groups associated with the activated device will be
queued for delayed activation. For sounder delays to operate the front panel, ACTIVE DELAYS LED has to be lit.
There is only one sounder delay timer, so when this expires any further sounder activations will be immediate.
If SOUNDERS ACTIVATE/SILENCE is pressed when there are sounders queued for delayed activation the queued
sounders are also silenced (stopped from sounding). Once the first alarm has been silenced by pressing SOUNDERS
ACTIVATE/SILENCE, all subsequent fires will be reported immediately (the sounder delay settings will be ignored).
NOTE:
Specific sounders (function 4-7) and specific detectors (function 6-1-6)
can be set to override this delay.
4-7 Override Sounder Delays
Allows specific sounders to activate immediately even if the system has been set with sounder delays active.
0 indicates normal operation
X indicates that the specific sounder will operate immediately
Sounders set to immediate will also override any Sounder Group settings for that specific sounder. Sounders set to
immediate operation will sound continuously (pulsing settings will be overridden).

5-1 Configure I/O Groups
Allows an I/O Group to be established. The I/O Group can then be used for fire or fault reporting.
512 I/O Groups can be defined.
First select the Group number then assign the I/O loop addresses. Each I/O Group can have up to 32 I/O units. (256 for the
Common I/O Group)(Group 512). I/O Group 512 is the Common I/O group. The Common I/O Group is always activated
when a fire occurs. When a fire occurs all the I/O information for the detector in fire is combined: the device I/O Group is
combined with the Common I/O Group and the four ‘first fire’ Zone I/O Groups.
When a subsequent fire occurs in the same Zone the ‘second fire’ Zone I/O group is activated.
Upon a fire the I/O operations are cumulative.
NOTE:
Specific devices can be set not to activate I/O (including Common I/O) - function 5-4
Inhibit I/O for Device.
5-2 Select Fault I/O Group
Allows a specified I/O group to be activated if a fault condition occurs.
It is not recommended to use the same I/O group for fire and fault reporting.
5-3 Assign I/O Group to Device
Allows an I/O Group to be assigned to a detector. When the detector goes into alarm then the assigned I/O Group will be
activated.
NOTE:
When a fire occurs all the I/O information for the detector in fire is combined: the device I/O
Group is combined with the Common I/O Group and the four ‘first fire’ Zone I/O Groups.
