6.2.1 Delay time / verification time
This function allows a delayed activation of the transmission unit (ATU) and the alarm signalling devices and fire
protection equipment in the day mode of the FACP.
This function can be used, for example, for areas and buildings in which persons are present and who can, in
the event of a fire alarm, prevent a direct alerting by pressing the >verification< key and use the remaining
(programmable) verification time until the automatic alerting, to ascertain why the alarm was triggered (see also
the Operating Instruction, Part No. 798236.GB0).
Switch ON/OFF day/night mode (if programmed).
Start verification time.

Reset the FACP
The transmission unit (ATU) of the alarm signalling devices and fire protection devices will be automatically
activated after the elapse of the delay and verification time if the alarm signal was not reset by pressing the
‘panel reset button‘ in order to cancel the alarm signal and thus prevent the activation.
A manual alerting via the hand-operated fire alarm buttons is possible at any time and results in a direct
activation depending on the programming.
In the case of further (two or more) fire alarms, the delay time is ignored and the alerting is activated
immediately.
The delay and verification time must be programmed building-specifically and in accordance with the current
German VdS directives and local requirements. The German VdS directives permit a maximum total delay
(verification time + delay time) of 10 minutes (
≙ 600 seconds permissible).
Observe standards and requirements!
Observe the information on the configuration and commissioning of the fire alarm control panel in
accordance with national standards/directives and local requirements.
This function may not be permissible or the programmable time may have to be set in accordance
with local requirements, depending on the specific use of the system or the country in which the
system is used.
