T1 for different detection zones may start at different times, however,
when Prolong Delay has been pressed, T2 for all detection zones will
start at the same time.
If one or more Delayed Action detection zones have entered the Fire
Alarm state and are in their T1 or T2 periods, the delayed actions can
be immediately initiated by pressing the Activate Outputs button.
Activation of a manual call point will also give immediate action
(provided that the point has been set to Override Delay and
Dependency, YES).
3.11.6 Delayed Dependency Detection Zones
Detection zones configured as Delayed Dependency Detection Zones
have the following properties in Day and Night Mode:
In Day Mode, outputs that are configured to be activated by these
detection zones will operate according to their actual configuration,
i.e. Silent Alarm, Small Alarm or Large Alarm as follows:
When a fire alarm signal from the first detector in alarm is received,
the following will occur:
o The detection zone will enter the Silent Alarm state, and all FPE
outputs configured to be activated on Silent Alarm will be
activated. The T1 delay period will start.
o When the T1 delay period expires, the detection zone will enter
the Small Alarm state. All FPE outputs configured to be activated
on Small Alarm will be activated. The T2 delay period will start.
o When the T2 delay period expires, the detection zone will enter
the Large Alarm state. All FPE outputs configured to be activated
on Large Alarm will operate.
Note that, at any time, if an alarm from a second detector within the
same detection zone is received, the detection zone will always
enter the Large Alarm State. This means that all (not yet activated)
FPEs configured to be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm
will be activated.
In Night Mode, outputs are always activated on the first detector in
alarm and the system will always enter the Large Alarm state. As with
Day Mode this means that all (not yet activated) FPEs configured to
be activated on Silent, Small and Large Alarm will operate.
Note that when a point sends an alarm signal, and this point
has been set to Override Delay and Dependency, YES, the
Delayed Dependency detection zone will enter the Large Alarm
state directly, regardless of Day or Night Mode.
