• Local: Each panel resounds only its own silenced bells when a new alarm is received.
This would be used when panels in a network are in different buildings, such as a
campus.
• Global: All panels in a network resound silenced bells when a new alarm condition is
received on any panel in the network. This is used when the panels are all in the same
building, such as a large plant.
2.3.5 Evac
Evac controls whether the bell system Evacuation Mode sounds Steady (continuously) or uses
a Temporal pattern as specified in ANSI S3.41 and ISO 8201 Audible Emergency Evacuation
Signal. The pattern used ½s On, ½s Off, ½s On, ½s Off, ½s On, 1½s Off repeated.
2.3.6 Waterflow
Waterflow controls if bells can be silenced if they are started by a waterflow type input. If Non-
Silenceable is chosen, bell circuits activated due to a waterflow input cannot be silenced until
the waterflow device has restored.
2.3.7 Language
Language chooses English (default), French or Hungarian characters to be used in messages.
2.3.8 Alarm List Sequence
Alarm List Sequence controls which end of the Alarm List is shown automatically. If First is
chosen, the first (oldest) item in the alarm list is shown. If Last is chosen, the last (newest) item
in the alarm list is shown. Regardless of order, alarms always take precedence in being
shown. Another way to think of it is that First shows where the fire started while Last shows
where the fire has gotten to.
2.3.9 Disconnects
Disconnects controls which panels the Signal Disconnect, Relay Disconnect, and Common
Disconnect hot keys affect.
• Local: The Disconnect hot keys affect only the panel they are on.
• Global: The Disconnect hot keys affect all the panels in the network. This means that if
any Disconnect key is pressed on a panel, all other panels in the system take on the
state of that Disconnect, either on or off.
2.3.10 System Message
The System Message is a text entry box for defining a message that is 3 lines by 20
characters that is used to identify the system. This message is printed at the top of printouts
and shown on some service terminal screens, but it is not used in any LCD except in STATUS/
IDENTIFICATION.
2.3.11 System Banner
The System Banner is a 20 character message that is used as a banner for the Main Menu of
the LCD. The default banner is “Modul-R by Secutron.”
