6.4  Two-detector-zone dependency  
Alerting facilities, alarm transceivers and fire protection facilities are tripped when two defined 
detector zones switch to fire alarm mode. A pre-alarm is triggered when there is an alarm in 
the first detctor zone. 
6.5  Two-detector dependency  
Alerting facilities, alarm transceivers and fire protection facilities are tripped when two detec-
tors in a detector zone switch to fire alarm mode. . A pre-alarm is triggered when there is an 
alarm in the first detctor zone. 
6.6  Alarm buffering  
Threshold detectors:  
The detector is reset after it detects an event. The detector signals the event if it recurs within 
60 seconds.  
Master 20 and the ABM module support alarm buffering.  
SIGMASYS and Sinteso detectors do not support alarm buffering.  
6.7  Event delay  
Event delay for SIGMASYS and Sinteso detectors. 
The detector only forwards events that were detected for at least the duration of the time pe-
riod programmed.  
6.8  Virtual inputs and outputs  
Virtual inputs and outputs can be used for signalling and for the automatic execution of oper-
ating commands.
