9.0 System Delays
Delays may have been programmed into the panel at commissioning time to allow a predetermined
delay time from a zone activation until:-
• The alarm outputs activate
• The fire link activates
• The fire protection equipment output activates
Delays may be used in order to allow time for the cause of the activation to be investigated by the
premises management. If the cause of the activation is found to be legitimate the alarm outputs can
be manually activated. If the cause of the activation is found to be false the system can be silenced
and reset.
The system set-up chart must be consulted to determine exactly which outputs have been delayed,
how the delay time has been set up and what action is taken if the Silence button is touched before a
delay has expired.
In general, delays only apply to automatic detector activations whilst a manual
activation on a zone (Activating a Manual Call Point) overrides delays.
