Time/Date
Format
Choose 12 (am/pm) or 24-hour (mili-
tary) format. Use <NEXT> and
<PREV> to scroll between options
and <ENTER> to set.
Reminder
The Active Status Reminder option
allows you to set an interval and
duration during which the panel
reminds operators that a FIRE,
SUPV, or TBL condition still exists.
This is accomplished by sounding
the front panel tone-alert.
• Choose: ON or OFF (default =
OFF).
• Set reminder interval
(1-12 hours)
• Signal duration. This option sets
the duration of the acknowl-
edge signal. (0-60 seconds;
0=on until ack).
The default for this option is 0,
meaning an acknowledge is
required to silence the reminder.
Inhibit
(reference
point 18-35)
While timer is counting down, the
Alarm Silence/Reset Inhibit Timer
prevents a system operator from
using either the Alarm Silence or
System Reset functions. When the
inhibit timer expires, the panel may
be reset/silenced.
Choose a timer range from 0-60
minutes (default=0 - no inhibit)
Alarm Cut-
out Timer
The Alarm Signal Cutout timer
allows you to set a duration for how
long notification appliances sound
after an alarm. In other words, when
an alarm condition exists, the sig-
nals sound until silenced. With this
option set at two minutes, building
signals sound on alarm for two min-
utes and then stop sounding. How-
ever, the alarm condition remains
active.
Choose a timer range from 0-60
minutes (default=0 - no cutout)
Alarm Doors
Allows the panel to hold doors open
for a set duration during an alarm
condition. After that duration has
expired, the panel shuts off the door
holder relays (all DHOLDER point
types). Choose a timer range from
0-60 minutes (default=0 - immediate
door drop). This option applies to all
DHOLDER relay function types,
regardless of their Alarm Group set-
ting.
AC Doors
The Door Holder Drop on AC Failure
allows the panel to hold doors open
for a set duration during an AC
power loss condition. After that timer
has expired, the panel turns off the
door holder relays (all DHOLDER
point types). The range for the timer
is 0-60 minutes with a default setting
of 5 minutes. To have the door hold-
ers drop the doors immediately
upon AC power loss, set the timer to
0. This option applies to all
DHOLDER relay function types
regardless of their Alarm Group set-
ting.
Door Holder
Enables or disables whether door
holder magnets receive power from
the panel during an alarm condition.
Set this option to ON if you want the
panel to provide power to all relays
with a DHOLDER function type
when an alarm occurs. Set this
option to OFF if you want the panel
to cut power to these relays when
an alarm occurs.
