Alt operation
The PHS/PHD operates in Operation mode (day) or Alternate (Alt) Operation mode (night).
This allows you to change the detector’s photo/heat from supervisory/alarm to alarm/alarm.
This is applicable only for “heat + supervisory smoke latching” and “heat + supervisory smoke
nonlatching” device types of the PHS/PHD.
Day sensitivity
Sets the daytime smoke level sensitivity. Choose least, less, more, normal, or most.
Night sensitivity
Sets the nighttime smoke level sensitivity. Choose least, less, more, normal, or most.
Day prealarm%
Sets the daytime prealarm percentage. Choose Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90
percent.
This sets the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an actual alarm event is
indicated. The percentage is based on the sensitivit
y level selected above. For example, if you
choose normal sensitivity and select 50 percent for your prealarm, when smoke levels reach
50% of the normal smoke level required to initiate an alarm, a prealarm event is indicated.
Night prealarm%
Sets the nighttime prealarm percentage. Choose Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90
percent.
This sets the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an actual alarm event is
indicated. The percentage is based on the sensitivity level selected above
. For example, if you
choose normal sensitivity and select 50 percent for your prealarm, when smoke levels reach
50% of the normal smoke level required to initiate an alarm, a prealarm event is indicated.
Base type
Sets the base type for detectors. Choose standard, relay, isolator, or sounder.
Follow
This option controls the conditions that activate the relay or sounder detector base.
Note: All base follow settings except Head and Riser can be activated by correlation groups.
Note: For PS/PD, PHS/PHD, IPHS, and SD detectors configured as “Supervisory Non-
latching” device type or for PCOS/PCD detectors (smoke element) configured as “Smoke
Supervisory Non-latching” device type, if the base is Relay/Sounder, then the follow type
option cannot be configured as “Head.” The default follow type in this case is “Alarm.”
