Name/function
Siren time Int. [min]
Endless
Explanation
Time for the duration of the internal siren(s) in minutes after a burglar alarm.
The siren time can be set to a value between 0 and 20 min.
If sounders are assigned to multiple partitions, the alarm panel uses the longest
siren time set for the partitions in question.
The time for which the sounders are active can also be extended to the longest
siren delay for that sub-area.
Note
Internal sirens always sound after a fire or hold up alarm until the alarm is confirmed
by a user for safety reasons. For safety reasons there is no time limit for a fire alarm
or hold up alarm.
Special response when an entry delay is used
Requirement
 The internal sounders (alarm panel, wireless indoor siren, wireless info module)
are muted again after the internal siren time has expired.
 The alarm panel has automatically rearmed (see also "Installer Mode  System
 Security  Auto Rearm").
Response
 If you now enter the entrance area ("Final Door" and "Entry/Exit Follow" detectors
are opened), the internal sounders (alarm panel, wireless indoor siren, wireless
info module) emit an alarm tone.
 The normal entry tone is not signalled in this case.
Note
When the entry delay is used, you would usually expect to hear the normal entry
tone. This entry tone should be heard as long as the entry delay is running. If you
hear an alarm tone after opening the entrance door, you know immediately that
the alarm panel has detected an intrusion during your absence.
The delay time runs anyway. Disarm the alarm panel within the delay time.
Do so only if you feel it is safe, however. An intruder could still be inside the
property! If you do not disarm the system, an additional burglar alarm is triggered
once the delay time has expired.
Notify others who have access to your property of this response of the alarm panel.
On
Internal sirens signal the alarm tone until an alarm is acknowledged by a user.
Off
The siren time for the duration of the internal siren(s) is used.
