FX-2200 Programming Manual
Subsequent Alarm
Subsequent Alarm controls how Alert, Evac and Alert/Evac type bell systems behave when a new
alarm is received while one is still active. 1st Stage has the panel repeat the First Stage operation.
2nd Stage has the panel go immediately to Second Stage operation.
Resound
Resound controls how the panel handles the automatic resounding of silence bells when a new
alarm is received. There are two modes:
•
•
Evac
Evac controls whether the bell system Evacuation Mode sounds Steady (continuously) or uses a
Temporal pattern as specified in ANSI S3.41 and ISO 8201 Audible Emergency Evacuation Signal.
The pattern used ½s On, ½s Off, ½s On, ½s Off, ½s On, 1½s Off repeated.
Waterflow
Waterflow controls if bells can be silenced if they are started by a waterflow type input. If Non-
Silenceable is chosen, bell circuits activated due to a waterflow input cannot be silenced until the
waterflow device has restored.
Language
Language chooses English (default), French or Hungarian characters to be used in messages.
See Appendix C Languages of the Mircom Programming Interface Database Editor for a
description of the letters supported and the method of entering them.

are switched to Evacuation mode and the next bells, i.e. the ones with the next higher
number, are activated in Alert mode. This sequence is repeated until all bells are in
Evacuation mode. When the highest numbered bell circuit switches to Evacuation mode,
all bell and strobe circuits on the panel will be turned on in Evacuation mode. For example,
if the alarm activates Bells 1 and 4, after the NAK timeout, Bells 1 and 4 are switched to
Evacuation mode and Bells 2 and 5 are set to Alert mode. A 2nd alarm will activate all
bells in Evacuation mode.
Notes:
1. Bells must be assigned consecutive bells circuits with no Releasers assigned in
between Bells. For example: circuits 1, 2, 3, 4 can be assigned as Bells but not
circuits 1, 2, 4, 5 with circuit 3 a Releaser.
2. Control modules cannot be programmed as bell or strobe if the Staged Bell
system is used.
Local: Each panel resounds only its own silenced bells when a new alarm is received.
This would be used when panels in a network are in different buildings, such as a campus.
Global: All panels in a network resound silenced bells when a new alarm condition is
received on any panel in the network. This is used when the panels are all in the same
building, such as a large plant.
