Abort Mode 2 (Reset) - When abort is activated, the timer is stopped and the full delay is
loaded into it. The timeout begins when the Abort control switch is released. Successive aborts
are permitted. If Mode 2 is selected with a zero (0) abort delay, the abort is disabled. Mode 2
does not comply with ANSI/UL 864s.
Abort Mode 3 (IRI) - This mode is only valid for cross-zoned release when both initiating
inputs are needed to cause the agent release activation (if selected for single zone, the abort
will be disabled). This mode is similar to Mode 1 with the exception that the abort will function
only if held after the receipt of the first alarm, but prior to the receipt of the second alarm.
Abort activation at any other time is ignored.
Abort Mode 4 (New York City) – When the abort is activated, the timer is stopped and reset
to 120 seconds. The timer will not start as long as the Abort switch is held. The timeout restarts
when the Abort switch is released. Successive Abort switch operations resets the timer back to
the full 120 second delay. Selection of this mode does not have an over-ruling effect on any
programmed manual or auto-release delays, regardless of whether an abort has actually
occurred. In this mode, the delay from a manual release is forced to zero (0), and the auto-
release delay is restricted to a maximum of 30 seconds. NYC Mode does not comply with
ANSI/UL 864.
Abort Mode 5 - Disables the abort.
The circuit is suitable for either Class A or Class B wiring and any quantity of contact closure
type abort stations subject to the limitations imposed by the wiring resistance.
1-4.3.3 SUPERVISORY INPUTS
The Supervisory Circuits accept inputs from monitoring devices such as pressure switches on
agent cylinders or sprinkler systems.
1-4.4 System Outputs
The Kidde AEGIS has the following system outputs:
• Three (3) Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs)
• Two (2) Agent Release Circuits (ARC)
• Three (3) Programmable Relays
• One (1) Dedicated Trouble Relay
• One (1) Auxiliary Power Output
1-4.4.1 NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE CIRCUITS (NACs)
The AEGIS has three dedicated notification appliance circuits (NAC). Any NAC can be
configured in system configuration to operate on or more on First Alarm, Pre-Release, and
Releasing conditions. In the case that the control unit is being used in a non-suppression
application, the three NACs may be configured to operate on Alarm from DET 1, DET 2, and
DET 3. Each circuit is driven independently and is user configurable for either Class A (Style Z)
or Class B (Style Y) operation with the following coded patterns:
• 60 beats per minute (BPM)
• 120 beats per minute (BPM)
•Temporal
WARNING
The setting of non-compliant delays with New York City Abort is not error-
trapped or over-ruled by the control unit.
