System Operation Smoke Alarm Verification
Conditions Required for an Interlock Release Alarm Output Activation
Any release requires the activation of an interlock switch, and either a manual release switch or 2 activated addressable detectors. When
these conditions are met, the “Interlock Release Alarm” and “Detector Alarm” outputs will activate, and the “Interlock Release Alert” out-
puts will deactivate.

Figure 9.7 illustrates how the Smoke Alarm Verification cycle operates.
If there is no alarm indication during the confirmation period, the system will return to normal operation.

The function keys on the IFP-300 have multiple features. Their macro key functionality can simplify the disabling, activating, or inhibiting

hold 50 events.
