Initiating Zone Description

This allows the user to describe the initiating zones. Ten different descriptions are available. They are:

1)FIRECYCLE - Used only with Normally Closed Firecycle® heat detectors. Automatic restoration of the Firecycle® heat detector will automatically start the Soak Timer.

2)DETECTION - These include smoke detectors, pull stations, heat detectors and other devices put on a conventional zone.

3)WATERFLOW - Alarms from waterflow zones are non-silenceable

4)LINEAR HEAT DETECTION - These use a special wire with a fuseable insulation

5)MANUAL RELEASE - Used to override cross zoning and cause instant release

6)LOW AIR ALARM – This is for a low air switch used in a double interlock system. Usually cross zoned with a smoke or heat detector. Activation of this zone creates a supervisory condition on the panel but can still operate the release circuit.

7)SUPERVISORY - For monitoring any supervisory function as assigned

8)TAMPER - For control valve monitoring

9)LOW AIR - Used to detect low air pressure

10)HIGH AIR - Used to detect high air pressure

The first five descriptions (FIRECYCLE, DETECTION, WATERFLOW, LINEAR HEAT DETECTION, and MANUAL RELEASE) are Alarm Zones. When activated, they will put the panel into alarm and operate the appropriate output as well as operating the alarm relay.

The 6th description (LOW AIR ALARM) creates a supervisory condition on the panel but can be used to activate the release circuit. This activates the Supervisory relay not the Alarm relay.

The last four descriptions (SUPERVISORY, TAMPER, LOW AIR and HIGH AIR) are Supervisory Zones. When

activated, they will put the panel in a supervisory condition and activate any output described as “SUPERVISORY BELL”. They cannot activate the release circuit.

The 1st description (FIRECYCLE) is an automatically resettable alarm zone. The status of the zone follows the status of the FIRECYCLE heat detector. When the detector restores, the zone restores and initiates the soak timer.

Note: When FIRECYCLE is selected for zone 1, only outputs #3 and #4 can be mapped as releasing circuits.

If zone 1 is programmed as the FIRECYCLE, the following will appear in the display:
