13.14 Alarm Response
The Alarm Response function controls how you would like certain activations to perform.
13.14.1 Silent 1
st
Alarm
If this function is selected as ‘confirmed’, then the first alarm to activated on the system will be silent, but the
if another input activates (i.e. a confirmed alarm) then the alarm will activate and the alarm tones will be
heard.
This option is only valid once the system has been set for 3 minutes and not if the entry time has started.
13.14.2 Disable Confirm On Entry
To comply with DD243 standards, the PCX system can be programmed so that confirmation signals are not
sent during the entry time.
If ‘Disable Confirm On Entry’ is set to YES this option will disable ALL
confirmation signals on entry.
If ‘Disable Confirm On Entry’ is set to NO the confirmation signals are enabled on expiry of the entry time.
13.14.3 Inputs to Confirm After Entry
This function accepts a choice of 1 or 2 inputs to trigger after expiration of entry time to qualify as a
sequentially confirmed alarm. Note: Only the “2” setting complies with DD243:2004.
13.14.4 Alarm Starts / Stops (Alarm Responses)
The order of which alarm responses are activated can be programmed to your requirements. The alarm
activations you can program are: Partitions, Fire, Gas, Hold Ups, and Disarm Alarms and the different alarm
responses are: Keypads, Internal Sounders, Bells Only, Digi and Confirm. The different alarm responses
work in a table format (the first in the list is ‘Keypads’ and the last being ‘Confirm’).
Each alarm response will take 15 seconds before moving on to the next response.
For example, If the alarm response for Partition A starts at ‘keypads’ and stops at ‘Digi’, then once Partition
A is armed and an alarm has been activated, the keypads will be first to activate, then after 15 seconds the
internal sounders, then after another 15 seconds the Bells will activate (Bells Only) and then after another 15
seconds the ‘Digi’ will activate, after this it will stop and you will get no confirm signal. If you ‘stopped’ at
‘Bells Only’ then any signalling will be disabled (Digi)
You may also program the system to operate on a combined partition basis, for example if both partitions ‘A’
and ‘B’ are armed; you may want the process of the alarm responses to change. Therefore you would use
the ‘If partitions armed’ section of this function and select the desired partitions and the alarm responses.
Another example of where this function would become useful is when you have several inputs programmed
as ’24 hour’, you may want the system to only activate the internal sounders in disarmed mode, but when the
system is armed you may want both the internal and external sounders to activate. To do this, when you get
to “Disarmed Starts”, enter ‘1’ for Internal Sounders and press function. “Disarmed Stops” will be displayed,
