Special System Timers
Silence Inhibit Timer (None or 60 Seconds)
This option, if selected, prevents the
ALARM SILENCE
key from functioning for 60 seconds after an
alarm.
Note: Silence Inhibit operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Auto-silence Timer (None or 10 Minutes)
If Auto-silence is selected, the notification appliances are silenced automatically after 10 minutes of
activation. Pressing the
DRILL
key will restart the timer with a new 10 minutes.
Note: Auto-silence operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Trouble Reminder
If selected, this feature causes a reminding “beep” tone every 15 seconds during an alarm (after the
Silence key is pressed) and every 2 minutes during a trouble condition (after the
ACKNOWLEDGE
/
STEP
key or
ALARM SILENCE
key is pressed). The “beep” tones from the panel sounder will occur until the
alarm or fault is cleared.
Alarm Verification (None or 73 Seconds)
If alarm verification is selected, an addressable smoke detector's alarm is ignored for a Retard period of
13 seconds and the detector's alarm condition is automatically reset. There will be no alarm indication
at the control panel during the Retard period. A Confirmation period of 1 minute follows, during which
a subsequent alarm from the same detector will cause the control panel to immediately activate the
appropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at the control panel. If a different detector alarms
any time during the first detector's verification period, the control panel will immediately activate all
appropriate outputs and indicate the alarm condition at the control panel. If no additional detector
alarms occur within 73 seconds of the first alarm (13 second retard plus 1 minute confirmation), the
timer resets and the control panel is ready to verify any new detector alarms which may occur.
