Entering Labels - Simplex 4006-9121 Technical Manual

Chapter 3. Programming IDCs, NACs, and AUX Relays
Note: The alarm verification cycle works on a per-zone
basis as follows. If a device with the function type
VSMOKE enters a current-limited state, the alarm verifica-
tion cycle begins. The panel starts a delay timer of 30 sec-
onds. When the timer expires, the zone containing the
activated detector is reset. Following the reset, another 10
second timer starts. When the 10 second timer expires, the
system checks the zone for an alarm. If a current-limited
condition exists on the zone, the panel initiates a fire alarm.
If no current-limited condition exists, the panel starts a 2
minute timer. While the timer is counting down, any current-
limited condition on any zone will trigger a fire alarm.
A short from a pull-station always triggers an alarm condi-
tion, regardless of the alarm verification cycle.
At any stage of the alarm verification cycle, the presence of
two devices in alarm triggers an alarm condition.
The VSMOKE function type shall not be enabled for Cana-
dian applications.
