Releasing Applications How to Program a Releasing Zone
Programming a NYC Abort Switch
The following contains information needed to program an NYC Abort Switch.
Description
A standard NYC delay timer that adds 90 seconds to the programmed Delay Timer.
How to Program
1. Program the monitor module connected to the abort station with the Type Code
ABORT
SWITCH as detailed in “Modify an Addressable Monitor Module Point” on page 22.
2. Select a time for the Releasing Zone Delay Timer (refer to“Programming a Delay Timer”
on page 61).)
3. Press at this point to save the Abort Switch value if no other fields on the screen
are changing. To change another field on the screen, move the cursor into position by
pressing the arrow keys on the keypad.
How It Works
When an alarm initiates in the programmed Releasing Zone, pressing and holding the Abort switch
stops the Delay Timer countdown. The Delay Timer restarts at the beginning of its countdown
when the Abort switch is released. When the Delay Timer expires, the 90-second NYC timer starts
counting down. When both timers expire, the control panel activates Releasing Zone outputs.
Example 1 - Delay Time Does Not Exceed 120 Seconds
Select a Delay Timer value for R05 of 15 seconds. The Releasing Zone activates and the 15-second
Delay Timer starts. Ten seconds into the Delay Timer countdown, press and hold the Abort Switch
for 30 seconds, then release the Abort Switch. The control panel restarts the Delay Timer at 15
seconds and adds the NYC delay of 90 seconds. The delay timers will both expire at 105 seconds,
NOTE: NYC timers do not comply with UL Standard 864.
To Program Do this
NYC Abort Switch Type NYC in the ABORT= field, or press the next or previous keys,
or , until NYC appears in the field.
NOTE: 120 seconds is the maximum delay after the Abort switch is released. If the Delay Timer
time plus the NYC delay time of 90 seconds exceeds 120 seconds, Releasing Zone outputs will
still be activated at 120 seconds after the Abort switch is released.
