7.13 Conventional Alarm Output Operation
The 6100 provides two conventional alarm outputs designed to drive 24V dc alarm devices. The
alarm outputs are always driven as a pair and cannot be controlled separately.
The conventional alarm output can be programmed to follow any one of the 32 output groups, the
operation is shown in table 7.5.
The conventional alarm outputs cannot be mapped to output groups containing
talking devices.

7.14 Output Group Type
Each output group can be individually set to be of type 'alarm', or 'control'. The operational
differences between the two types are detailed in table 7.6.

7.15 Output Group Delays (T1 and T2)
Each output group can have two delays introduced by appropriate programming in the Windows PC
software. Delay 1 is termed 'T1' and delay 2 is termed 'T2'.
When an output group is activated by the cause and effects programmed into the 6100, the
activation of the relevant output group can be delayed by up to 10 minutes for T1, and up to 20
minutes for T2. The T1 delay is introduced automatically, and T1 is replaced by T2 delay (if T2 is
larger than T1) if the 'Mute Buzzer' button is pressed at access level 2 or 3 during an alarm condition.
The usual reason for using T1/T2 programming is to delay activation of sounders until the premises
management reach the 6100 (T1 delay) and instigate a search time (T2 delay). The source of the
alarm can then be investigated, and the panel reset if required.
T1/T2 delays will be cancelled by activation of a manual class device, or if the 6100 is
in night mode and the 'Cancel Delays in Night Mode' option has been selected in the
Windows software. Delays are not used when in 'Walk Test' mode.
