Using the Configurator
• (c) after a period of not more than 10 min., the silenced audible signal devices will be
restored to continuous audible signal if the alarm is not acknowledged...
19.45.1 Timers for Suite Silence
There are three timers for suite silence in the Job Details. See section 19.5 on page 147.
• Auto Resound - This timer specifies the time, in minutes, after which the signals will
resound if an alarm remains un-acknowledged. The default is 10 minutes.
• New Alarm - This is the time, in seconds, that the alarm plays on outputs correlated with
the New Alarm Active Common System Status. After this amount of time, the alarm
plays only on the outputs correlated with the zone or input that started the alarm.
For example, if you correlate the New Alarm Active Common System Status with all the
zones that contain suites, then a new alarm will play in all the suites for this amount of
time. After this time, the alarm with continue to play only in the zone where the alarm
was initiated (as well as outputs correlated with the Common Alarm Common System
Status).
In a two stage system, suite silence is canceled when the stage two alarm starts.
As per UL 864 and UL 2572 the New Alarm Active Common System Status must not be
correlated.
• Signal Silence Inhibit - This is the time, in seconds, during which you cannot silence
the alarm or reset the system. This time must be shorter than Auto Signal Silence.
As per UL 864 and UL 2572 only a Signal Silence Inhibit setting of 0 is permissible.
19.45.2 Common System Statuses
There are three Common System Statuses used for Suite Silence.
• New Alarm Active - This status is true when a new alarm occurs and remains true while
the New Alarm timer is running. It is usually correlated with the suite signal circuits.
As per UL 864 and UL 2572 the New Alarm Active Common System Status must not be
correlated.
• Auto Suite Resound - This status becomes true when the Auto Resound timer
expires. It is usually correlated with the suite signal circuits, so that the alarm resounds
in the suites if it is not acknowledged.
• Common Alarm - Signal circuits that are correlated with Common Alarm activate when
any alarm is active.
Attention: Do not correlate the Subsequent Alarm Common System Status with
suite signals.
