The control panel will determine the optimal Pre-Alarm Action Level sensitivity for
each detector selected, after approximately 10 minutes of data sampling.
G.3.4 Audible Warning Applications for AWACS™
A sounder base may be used with AWACS™ to give a local audible warning before
general evacuation. This may be used to reduce the impact of false alarms from
cooking, smoking, etc. in a multiple unit housing application. An individual in the
apartment would receive advanced audible warning and could eliminate the source of
the pending false alarm.
The control panel will activate the LEDs on the photoelectric or ionization detectors on
a Pre-Alarm condition (Alert level or Action level). The detectors LEDs are used to
drive the sounder base. When the LEDs on the detector light steadily for 10 seconds
the sounder base will activate. If latching operation of the sounder base is desired,
program the control panel for Action Pre-Alarm. If non-latching (self-restoring)
operation is desired, program the system for Alert Pre-Alarm operation. If all
sounder-bases are to activate on alarm, wire the power for these bases through two
relay-module relay contacts that will reverse the polarity to the sounder bases on alarm.
