Overview, Continued 
 
The Manual Release Time Delay is a programmable timer that specifies the delay between the 
activation of a manual release switch and the activation of releasing appliances.  The default 
setting for this timer is 10 seconds.  A setting of 0 causes the releasing appliances to immediately 
activate after a manual release switch activates. 
 
As the timer counts down, the notification appliances sound a temporal or 20 beat per minute 
signal (the actual signal that plays depends on the setting of the NAC Coding option, as described 
in “Programming NAC Coding,” later in this chapter).
