1-4.3.1.3 Digital Display
The three digit display is used for the following:
• View and enter field configuration settings
• Display troubleshooting/diagnostic codes
• Display battery voltage and charging current
• Count-down timer for agent release
1-4.3.1.4 Buzzer
The buzzer will sound when an alarm, trouble or supervisory condition is present.
1-4.3.2 INITIATING DEVICE CIRCUITS (SYSTEM INPUTS)
The Kidde AEGIS has the following system inputs:
• Three (3) Detection Inputs
• One (1) Manual Release
• One (1) Abort
• Two (2) Supervisory Inputs
1-4.3.2.1 Detection Inputs
The control unit provides two dedicated initiating/detector input circuits, plus a third that can
be used as a Waterflow alarm or an independent initiating/detector input. Inputs from these
circuits are latching. Refer to Chapter 3, Configuration for configuration settings.
Certain jurisdictions require NAC outputs due to Waterflow input to be non-silenceable. The
configuration settings in Chapter 3, Configuration allows the user to select the specific mode
needed for a given application.
Each detector circuit is suitable for Class A or Class B wiring and is capable of operating with
up to 25 smoke/electronic heat detectors and a quantity of contact-closure type devices (up to
the limitation imposed by wiring resistance). For a list of compatible devices, refer to
Appendix B.
1-4.3.2.2 Manual Release
Operation of a manual release pull station activates the NACs and initiates the release
sequence. The configured time delay and agent release output is activated after the site
configured time delay. Manual release overrides any other time delay. The circuit is suitable
for either Class A or Class B wiring and any quantity of contact closure type manual release
stations subject to the limitations imposed by the wiring resistance. The manual release will
also override any activated abort switch.
1-4.3.2.3 Abort
Activation of the abort station temporarily delays the impending agent release. Operation of
the abort switch during non-alarm conditions will cause a trouble signal. However, if the Abort
switch is pressed and held during either a non-alarm condition or during a first alarm condition,
and remains held until an alarm pre-release condition exists occurs, the Abort function will
execute as normal, per the configuration setting. The following abort modes are configurable.
Abort Mode 1 (ANSI/UL 864) - When the abort input is received, the release timeout
continues and stops at ten (10) seconds. If the timeout was less than ten (10) seconds when
the abort signal is received, timeout is reset to ten (10) seconds. When the abort is released,
the timeout resumes. Successive aborts are permitted.
