Timers
Auto GA On a two stage system, the stage one alarm (alert) will
change to the stage two alarm (general alarm) after this
amount of time.
Auto GA must be shorter than Auto Signal Silence.
Choose from 0-30 minutes or Disabled. To use this
option, you must select Two stage above.
Auto Signal Silence This is the amount of time after which the alarm is
automatically silenced. In a two stage system, the stage
two alarm counts as a new alarm. For example, if Auto
GA is set to 30 seconds and Auto Signal Silence is set
to 1 minute, then the stage two alarm will be automatically
silenced 1 minute after it starts (1.5 minutes after the
stage one alarm started).
Auto Signal Silence must be longer than Signal Silence
Inhibit and Auto GA.
Choose from 0-30 minutes or Disabled.
Signal Silence Inhibit While this timer is running, you cannot silence the alarm
or reset the system.
Signal Silence Inhibit must be shorter than Auto Signal
Silence.
Choose from 0-3 minutes.
As per UL 864 and UL 2572 only a Signal Silence Inhibit
setting of 0 is permissible. See section 19.45 on
page 206.
New Alarm This feature is for suite silence configurations. This is the
amount of time 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 suites in the building,
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 suite that started the alarm (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.
Choose from 10-120 seconds.
