Fire Safety
The fire control panel has functions that count alarm events. The number of all
alarms can be called up using alarm counter.
There are three different types of alarm counters:
● Every 'Area' automatically has the function of counting all alarms of the
respective 'Area'.
● Every 'RT control' automatically has the function of counting its respective own
activation.
● The 'Counter control' is freely configurable and can count all alarms of the
↑ 'Site', for example. The 'Counter control' is pre-configured as standard for
some countries, e.g., AT.
