disconnected if signal silence is active and reconnected if signal silence is de-activated.
9.4 Circuit Types
9.4.1 Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types
9.4.2 Non-Verified Alarm
A non-verified alarm can have pull stations, smoke detectors, or heat detectors attached to it.
Activation of any of these devices will immediately result in an alarm condition in the Fire
Alarm Control Panel. An alarm condition causes the Common Alarm LED to illuminate red.
9.4.3 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 Common Alarm LED
to illuminate red.
9.4.4 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 Common Alarm LED to illuminate
red.
9.4.5 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 “4.Waterflow/Sprinkler Retard Operation” on page 57),
these circuits are sampled every one second. If ten samples are active within any 15-second
Note: Each relay has an LED beside it. These LEDs are used for diagnostic purposes.
Note: Do not use Retard Operation with any external retarding device; maximum retard
may not exceed 120 seconds.
