twice within this time period, or a continuous trip longer than 10 seconds. This
feature only applies to zones with the Twin Trip feature set in zone options.
Report Delay
The report delay is the duration in seconds that non-24 hour and non-fire type
zones will delay before reporting. This provides a valid user the opportunity to
reset an unintended alarm condition before that event is reported.
Holdup Delay
The holdup delay is the duration in second that a holdup delay zone type will wait
before it activates. If additional holdup activations occur during the holdup delay
period then the holdup delay will immediately expire and set the holdup alarm. If
a holdup delay zone type is de-activated during the holdup delay period then the
holdup alarm will reset and not activate.
Fire Verify Delay
The fire alarm verification feature is designed to reduce false alarms reported by
smoke detectors.
When a smoke detector is first tripped, the ZeroWire will raise an Action Event
‘Smoke Power Reset’. For hard wired 4-wire smoke detectors, you may program
the output to follow the action event and power-cycle the detector(s). Hard wired
detectors will be given 13 seconds to power-cycle.
The ZeroWire will wait 40 seconds to allow the smoke detector to power up and
settle. If a second trip occurs after this but before the end of the Fire Verify Delay
time, a fire alarm will be generated. If no restoral is received after the first trip, a
fire alarm will also be generated.
The valid time selection in this segment is 120 to 255 seconds. The
communicator will delay for a specified time before reporting the fire alarm.
Here are some scenarios:
