Section 13 – Input and Output Point Types
Function
The Horn/Strobe point is intended primarily to annunciate a fire
alarm, but the horn can also be used to sound for a burglar
alarm.
If the Code 3 option is selected, the horn sounds for an NFPA
temporal pattern (¼-second on, ¼-second off, for 3 seconds,
followed by 1 second of silence).
Because these transmissions occupy a segment of the overall
time allocated for control unit interrogation and response
messages, as well as other functions that are performed by the
control unit, the number of horn/strobes is limited to 5 per SIM
gateway and 20 per system. These numbers can be increased to
10 per SIM gateway and 40 per system by selecting Option 1
(inhibit BA) for each Horn/Strobe point, thereby preventing the
horns from sounding for a BA alarm. If this is done, the control
unit will no longer generate the Code 3 pattern. Instead, the DIP
switches on each horn/strobe must be programmed to generate
the Code 3 pattern in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Selecting this option causes the turn-on and turn-off conditions of
the output point to be reversed. In other words, if the output is
turned on upon detection of the condition being monitored, it will
instead be normally on, and turn off when that condition is
detected.
Whether a strobe will be used for the point in place of the bell, in
which case the strobe will flash continuously for an alarm
(Remote Bell Type).
Whether to have the horn annunciate a BA alarm.
Whether the output will follow the status of a designated output
point.
Whether the bell is turned on by an alarm in only one BA group,
or an alarm in any one of a series of BA groups.
If a series of BA groups is selected, then the BA group that is
selected is the starting point for the series. For example, if there
are 8 BA groups and the number 3 is selected, then an alarm in
any BA group from BA3 through BA8 will trigger the bell, but
not an alarm in BA1 or BA2.
