9.7.3 Verified Alarm
Verified Alarms are verified by a reset and timing procedure, and may include smoke
detectors, heat detectors or pull stations. Activation of pull stations or heat detectors results in
an alarm condition in the Fire Alarm Control Panel within four seconds. Smoke detectors are
verified for a real alarm within 60 seconds, depending upon the startup time of the devices
being used. If four seconds is too long a response time for pull stations, then wire them
separately on a Non-Verified Alarm Circuit. An alarm condition causes the associated Circuit
Status LED and the COMMON ALARM LED to illuminate red.
9.7.4 Sprinkler Alarm (for Sprinkler Flow Sensors)
Sprinkler Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms unless Water flow retard
operation is enabled. If Water Flow Retard Operation is enabled, then these circuits are
sampled every one second. If ten samples are active within any 15-second interval, the
Sprinkler Alarm is confirmed and processed. An Alarm condition causes the associated Circuit
Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
9.7.5 Water Flow Alarm (Water flow Sensors)
Water Flow Alarms are identical to normal Non-Verified Alarms except that any indicating
circuits programmed to these circuits (all are by default) are Non-Silenceable. Also, if Water
Flow Retard Operation is enabled (see section 11.0 on page 60), these circuits are sampled
every one second. If ten samples are active within any 15-second interval, the Water flow
Alarm is confirmed and processed. An alarm condition causes the associated Circuit Status
LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
9.7.6 Non-Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Circuits)
Activation on these circuits causes the Circuit Status LED and the amber COMMON
SUPERVISORY LED to illuminate. The buzzer sounds at the fast rate. If the circuit activation
is removed, the Supervisory condition clears (as long as there are no other Supervisory
conditions in the system) and the Circuit Status LED turns off.
9.7.7 Latching Supervisory (For Supervisory Devices)
Activation on these circuits causes the Circuit Status LED and the amber COMMON
SUPERVISORY LED to illuminate. The buzzer sounds at fast rate. If the circuit activation is
removed, the Supervisory condition does NOT clear.
9.7.8 General Alarm
The General Alarm provides remote general alarm for remote key switches. In a two-stage
system these inputs perform exactly the same function as the Front Panel or Remote
Note: Do not use Retard Operation with any external retarding device; maximum retard
may not exceed 90 seconds for Canada.
