How an Abort Switch Works
The figure below contains an example for configuring an Abort Switch and shows the requirements for
using an Abort Switch for Releasing Zone R05, which are:
• A monitor module is wired to an abort station
• The monitor module is programmed with the Type Code,
ABORT SWITCH
• All initiating devices and outputs are mapped to a common Releasing Zone (R05 shown)
• Releasing Zone R05 is programmed with the releasing functions: Delay, Abort, Cross, and
Soak
When an initiating device activates, you must press and hold the Abort Switch or the control panel will
send the command to dump releasing agents when the Delay time (15 seconds shown) expires. The
Abort selection (ULI, IRI, NYC, or AHJ) determines the function of the Abort Switch.

Releasing Zone R05 sample programming selections
Example: If you program B01-B03 as shown,
these outputs activate at release.
Example: If you
program B04 as
shown, this output
activates when the
release is finished.
