This control complies with NFPA requirements for temporal pulse sounding of fire notification appliances. Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of the following: 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3

pulses.

UL: must be 1 for fire installations

[1]

This field determines whether the external sounder will shut off after time allotted, or continue until manually turned off.

Part. 2

 

The system waits the time entered before arming entry/exit zones. If the entry/exit door is left open after this time expires, an alarm will occur. Common zones use same delay as partition 1.

SIA Guidelines: minimum exit delay is 45 seconds Common zones use part. 1 delay.

UL installations: For UL Commercial Burglar Alarm and UL Residential Burglar Alarm installations with line security, total exit time must not exceed 60 seconds.
