The Alarm Response function provides extra flexibility to how the system responds when an a alarm is
activated. The different alarm responses are: Keypads, Internal Sounders, Siren Only, Signal Digi /
Confirmed Alarm (communication to ARC or user). The different alarm responses can be programmed
to 'Start at' and to 'Stop at'.
Example 1: Area A is Set - Panel goes into Alarm – Internal keypads activate – Siren Activates – Digi
Confirmed Alarm signalling Activates. Please Note that each level of response lasts for 15 seconds
before moving up to its next level.
To program the example above, in Alarm Responses Area A will Start at Keypads and Stop at
'Confirmed Alarm'.
Example 2: Area B is Set – Panel goes into Alarm – Sirens Active only.To program the example
above; in Alarm Responses, Area B will Start at 'Sirens only' and Stop at 'Sirens only'.
Example 3: The Control Panel Alarm Responses can also operate on a combined area basis;
Area A starts at Sirens only and Stops at Sirens only
Area B starts at Sirens only and Stops at Sirens only
If both areas 'A' and 'B' are set; Start at Digi signalling and Stop at Confirmed Alarm signalling.
5.18.1 Silent 1st Alarm
If this function is selected as 'If confirm', then the first alarm to be activated on the system will
be silent, but only if another input activates (such as a confirmed alarm) then the alarm will
activate and the alarm tones will be heard. This option is only valid once the system has been set
for three minutes and not if the entry time has started.
5.18.2 Disable Confirm On Entry
To comply with BS8243 clauses 6.4.3 and 6.4.4, this option should be set to 'YES' to disable
confirmation once the entry procedure has started. For use with BS8243 option 6.4.5, this
option should be 'NO'. If 'Disable Confirm On Entry' is set to 'YES' this option will disable ALL
confirmation signals on entry. If 'NO' is selected, the confirmation signals are enabled on the
