Operation Releasing Functions
114 IQ-301 PN 50036:F 10/29/2001
Figure 109 shows an example of one heat detector, three smoke detectors and an
NAC/Panel Circuit mapped as a releasing zone, using cross zoning:
Figure 109 Cross Zoning Example
Only the first non-special zone
listed in the zone map is used
to determine Cross=Z.
"
Cross Zoning Example Table 36 lists examples of devices mapped to releasing
zones.
The following explanations apply to the examples shown in Figure 109:
• Cross=N
An alarm from any detector activates the releasing circuit.
• Cross=Y An alarm from any two detectors activates the releasing circuit.
• Cross=Z Release requires the activation of two detectors mapped to different
zones: D01 and D02 cannot activate the releasing circuit because both detectors are
mapped to Z01; D01 and D03 can activate the releasing circuit because they are
mapped to different zones.
• Cross=H Release requires activation of heat detector D04 and one smoke
detector (D01, D02, or D03).
4.6 Releasing Functions
Zones 91, 92, 93, and 94 are reserved for special releasing functions. This allows for up
to four simultaneous release operations (quad hazard). Each zone includes the
following:
• Cross Zone will activate only if two or more fire type input points are activated
that list this zone. In addition, there are two other types of cross-zones: one cross
zone requires that the two devices reside in different zones; and the other requires
that the two devices are a smoke detector plus a heat detector.
• Delay timer – A timer that allows the selection of a 0 to 60 second delay before the
zone can activate.
• Abort switch – type code in a given zone is used to abort activation of the zone.
• Manual Release – overrides the abort function, cross-zone function, and delay
timer, and activates the zone immediately.
• Soak – a Soak timer automatically shuts off the releasing device. Select 10 or 15
minutes (or zero for no timer).
A hazard is protected by assigning one of the four zones to each initiating device, abort
switch, manual release switch, and release solenoid. Refer to Appendix D for detailed
information about releasing applications.
