Operation
All alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include non-verified or verified alarms, and water-flow
alarms. Activation of any alarm input when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily
• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled
• The Common Alarm indicator turns on
• the common alarm relay activates if aux disconnect is not active
• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts
• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts
• RM-204 / RM-208 relays are activated as configured, provided that aux disconnect is not active
• Signals and strobes are activated
Subsequent Alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:
• The buzzer sounds steadily
• If signals have been silenced as a result of the signal silence button or the auto signal silence timer, signals are
resounded as they were before signal silence, the signal silence indicator is turned off, and the auto signal
silence timer, if configured, is restarted
• Signals and strobes are activated
Circuit Types
The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, either initiating (detection) or indicating (signal). The term
zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone
and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
