 Conditions Required for a Release 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 “Release” and “General Alarm” outputs will activate, and the “Pre-Alarm” output will deactivate.

During the Confirmation Period if there is no alarm indication then the system will return to normal operation.
10.9  Function Keys
The function keys (on the 6860 only) have multiple features. Their macro key functionality can simplify the disabling, activating, or 
inhibiting points or groups respectively. They can also be used as a status type activation event and for activating Map Inhibit. Each F-
Key macro can hold 50 events. 
 To access the F-Key Recording menu:
1. From the idle screen, press and hold the F-Key for 5 seconds.
2. Enter a PIN with F-Key macro recording privileges, if prompted.
