156 Advisor Advanced ATSx000A(-IP) Installation and Programming Manual
8.7.7.2 AB time
The menu allows you to configure the maximum delay between A and B alarms.
8.7.7.2.1 Intrusion AB time
The maximum time (0 to 255 minutes) that the system allows for a second
intrusion alarm to occur to report a confirmed alarm.
If the second alarm happens within this time, it is reported as a confirmed alarm
(B-alarm). When the AB time has expired, any next alarm is again an
unconfirmed alarm (A-alarm). If the zone that created the initial A-alarm is still
active, it is inhibited.
8.7.7.2.2 Holdup AB time
The maximum time (8 to 20 hours) that the system allows for a second holdup
alarm to occur to report a confirmed alarm.
See also ā8.7.7.2.1 Intrusion AB timeā above.
8.7.7.3 System confirm
The System confirmation option defines if the AB alarm confirmation works in
separate areas only, or if it allows for system-wide validity. If this option is set to
Yes, an A-alarm in one area can be confirmed by a B-alarm in another area.
Otherwise, the A-alarm can only be confirmed by a B-alarm in the same area.
8.7.7.4 EE confirm
The EE confirmation option configures the AB alarm confirmation during entry
time.
If the option is set to Yes, alarm confirmation is suspended during entry time. If
no B-alarm was present, all alarms during the entry time are A-alarms. When the
entry time has expired, alarm confirmation is enabled. However: entry/exit and
access zones cannot generate B-alarms.
If this option is set to No, the start of the entry timer disables any alarm
confirmation until the area is set again.
