NOTE: The ALARM SYSTEM also generates an independent audible ALARM SIGNAL with above
stated sequence of tones by a mechanical buzzer (2400 +/- 50 Hz).
LATCHING ALARM SIGNAL = ALARM SIGNAL that continues to be generated after its triggering
event no longer exists, until stopped by deliberate OPERATOR action.
NON-LATCHING ALARM SIGNAL = ALARM SIGNAL that automatically stops being generated
when its associated triggering event no longer exists.
t
d
= PULSE duration (electrical ON time)
t
s
= PULSE spacing (electrical OFF time)
t
b
= INTERBURST INTERVAL (electrical OFF time)
f
o
= fundamental frequency (first harmonic) of a PULSE
System delays = Sum of alarm signal generation delay and alarm condition delay mean (time from
the occurrence of a triggering event to the generation of its alarm signal).
