7.4Setup System - Setup Common Alarm

The audible alarm sounds after the AC8 detects an alarm condition in any input that has been defined as alarmable, including digital and analog sensor inputs. Once the alarm is silenced, there are two options:

•By default, the common alarm remains energized until the input alarm is cleared.

•You may change this setting to de-energize the common alarm automatically once the alarm is silenced.

You might want to reset the common alarm with silence if an external alarm—for example, a horn—is connected to the common alarm output contacts.

You might not want to reset the common alarm contacts (let contacts reflect/track alarms) and simply silence the audible horn.

To change the common alarm setting:

•From the Setup System Menu, shown at right, use the arrows ↑↓ to choose Setup Common Alarm and press Enter ↵ .

•By default, the common alarm is set up not to reset automatically when the alarm is silenced (N). To change this setting, use the arrows ↑↓ to choose Y (Yes - reset with silence) or N (No - not reset), then press Enter ↵ .
