Page 34: Fault Outputs
Fault Outputs Fault circuit connections at panel. SmokeCloak has two outputs that feed fault information back to the alarm panel. Low fluid output Terminals 15 and 16 are normally closed (default). These open if the bottle is less than one third full. - Page 35 Always ensure that this will not cause a problem within the installation. It is not desirable to have a full alarm condition and then a SmokeCloak activation just because of a fault condition. If the alarm panel is not capable of supporting local alarm only, for monitoring these circuits, then consider using a spare communicator line to central station.
