Setting Alarm Verification to US operation
Overview When you select United States operation for the alarm verification feature, the system operates
as follows:
• If a point specified within one of the alarm verification lists enters an alarm state, the
system delays the annunciation of the alarm for 30 seconds.
• When the 15 second timer expires, the system attempts to reset the initiating device for
five seconds.
• After the five second timer expires, the system evaluates the state of the initiating device
for up to 120 additional seconds. If the device re-alarms during this time, the system
immediately annunciates the alarm.
