Appendix H  Pre-signal/Positive Alarm
Sequence (PAS), Coding, and Time Control
Pre-signal and PAS
Activation of outputs that contain Z90 in their Control-by-Event (CBE) equation will be delayed for all alarm
initiating devices that also contain Z90 in their CBE equation. A subsequent alarm will abort the delay and
control-By-event equations will be executed. Do not include Z90 in the CBE equation for a releasing device.
Pressing the Alarm Silence switch before the delay has expired will abort circuit activation.
Pre-signal
The Pre-signal delay time can be set between 60 and 180 seconds. The Pre-signal delay will not apply to the
system alarm relay, 4XTM polarity reversal alarm output, 4XTM municipal box, and any RTM-8 output.
Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)
Selected outputs are delayed for 15 seconds. Pressing Acknowledge within the 15-second delay will increase
the delay to the full value programmed (60 to 180 seconds). The system alarm relay, 4XTM Polarity Reversal
Alarm output, 4XTM Municipal Box output and the RTM-8 Transmitter output will delay when the alarm is
from an initiating device that contains Z90 in its CBE equation. Do not include Z90 in the CBE equation for any
Monitor Module that connects to a device other then an automatic fire detector. PAS will not delay the RTM-8
relay outputs. NFPA-72 requires the installation of a PAS inhibit switch. This can be done by using a Monitor
Module programmed to type code “PAS INHIBIT.”
Time Control
All outputs that contain Z95 (or Z96) in their CBE equation will activate between the times specified for the
days of the week listed in Z95 (or Z96). All smoke detectors that contain Z95 (or Z96) in their CBE equation
will switch to their lowest sensitivity (3.0%) between the times specified for the day-of-week listed in Z95 (or
Z96). Time control is active for all day-of-week selections listed in Z95 (or Z96). Holidays listed in Z97,
however, are excluded unless “H” is listed in the day-of-week selection. Enter time in 24-hour format with the
Off time greater than On time. When using time control, always press the System Reset switch when making
programming changes.
Note: Active time control outputs turn off momentarily when programming or resetting the control panel.
Coding
Control panel NACs that contain Z98 in their CBE equation are coded when activated by a fire alarm. However,
the NACs are steady if activated by a Hazard Alert only. Do not include Z98 in the CBE equation if using these
NACs for releasing applications. Select coded type on a system base, via zone 98. Coding selections are:
MARCH TIME (DEFAULT): 120 PPM (Pulses Per Minute)
TWO STAGE: Alert signal—20 PPM; General alarm signal: Steady on*
CALIFORNIA: 10 sec. on, 5 sec. off, repeats
TEMPORAL: 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 1.5 off, repeats
Note: An Alert signal is automatically sent to any of the four NACs that are not mapped to the alarm signal but
are mapped to Z00 and Z98. After 5 minutes without an Acknowledge or Alarm Silence, the Alert signal
becomes steady.
