Chapter 2: Front panel programming

P/N 3102351-EN • REV 005 • ISS 28DEC18 39

• All riser type supervised output modules

The following inputs are not included in correlation group 001 during auto programming:

• Relay and sounder bases with the Follow option set to Head. All sounder bases are

programmed as Relay during auto programming.

• Addressable relays

• Supervisory input of the WTM modules

• Monitor modules (MM1)

Note the following:

• Any items included in correlation group 001 can be removed manually using front panel

programming or the configuration utility.

• Any detectors, modules, or zones, where the type is changed to a type other than alarm,

should be removed manually from correlation group 001 to avoid activating that correlation

group.

• If zoning is used, the zones must be in the appropriate correlation group so devices

assigned to that zone activate the correlation group.

• The CO elements for COD, PCOS/PCD, HCD, and PHCD detectors are not included in

Correlation Group 1 during auto programming or auto zoning

What is in-suite signal silence?

In-suite signal silence is a form of automatic alarm silencing that can be enabled for correlation

groups. The function is used in residential complexes to minimize the annoyance of false

alarms within living quarters. When an alarm input device activates, evacuation signals

activate normally. After one minute, alarms in living quarters outside the alarm zone deactivate

briefly. This interval is called the shutdown period and gives building personnel time to

investigate the problem. Room evacuation signals in the alarm zone and hallway signals

throughout the building remain active.

If the alarm has not been cleared within programmed allotted time (1 to 10 minutes), or if a

subsequent alarm occurs, all signals resound. The shutdown period can be adjusted at the

panel. In-suite signal silence can be turned off completely at the panel by setting the Suite

Signal Silence option to Off (default). This setting is found at Program > Advanced Program >

Panel Operation.

In-suite signal silence is a feature commonly utilized in the Canadian marketplace. This feature

is not permitted when the system must meet UL 864 requirements for the US marketplace.

Notes

• Only alarm events can initiate in-suite signal silence.

• Only the first alarm is silenced by in-suite signal silence. Any additional alarms sound as

programmed and are not automatically silenced.
