Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steady.
• Resounds silenced signals, turns off the Signal Silence LED, and restarts the Auto
Signal Silence timer (if configured).
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, activates additional non-disconnected
signals programmed to the new input with the Alert Code (see 5.3 Output Types on
page 31).
• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and the Acknowledge LED is ON steady
indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been acknowledged, restarts the timer
and extinguishes the Acknowledge LED.
A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:
• The buzzer sounds steady.
• Activates all non-disconnected signals at the evacuation rate.
• If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and restarts the Auto Signal Silence timer
(if configured).
• If the Acknowledge LED is ON, turns the LED OFF.
• The General Alarm LED illuminates steady.
Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset.
5.7 Evacuation Codes
The following Evacuation codes can be configured for the FX-401 FACP.
5.7.1 Two Stage Alert Code
When configured for Two Stage operation, the FX-401 FACP uses a pre-configured Alert code
that sounds prior to the evacuation code.
5.8 Positive Alarm Sequence
In a Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) system, only smoke detectors can be dedicated as PAS
inputs. PAS Inputs can only be from the following process types:
• Non-verified alarm
• Verified alarm
Note: All circuits with process type designated as “signal or strobe” are automatically
correlated to the “fire drill” and “general alarm” status.
Continuous On 100% of the time.
Temporal Code 0.5 second on and 0.5 second off repeated 3 times 1.5s pause
March Code 0.5 second on 0.5 second off.
California Code 5 seconds on 10 seconds off.
