    Synch In and Synch Out lines. This allows loops connected to different detectors to be scanned in series or parallel. When in Program Mode, the Model P-1400 detector displays the real time loop frequency reading for each channel. The eight frequency levels can be incremented or decremented to provide precise frequency settings.

    3.00 (OFF). This option should only be turned ON at the advice of Reno A&E. NOTE: Each loop can be enabled independently. 3.00 = 250 milliseconds filter. 3.01 = 1 second filter. 3.02 = 2 seconds filter. 3.03 = 10 seconds filter. 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 2 of 33...

    2.11 OPTION 7: SYNCH FEATURE This option provides a means of linking together up to four (4) P-1400 detectors. Each detector’s Option 7 has three settings ranging from 7.00 to 7.02. There are two modes of Synch, Series Synch and Parallel Synch. When set to operate in Series Synch mode, one detector channel in the entire detector system is active at any given time.

NOTE: If the Loop Check Timer is set to 0 minutes, the Loop Check function is off. : The Synch feature provides a means of linking up to four P-1400 detectors together. There are two YNCH modes in which the detectors can be configured to operate, Series Synch or Parallel Synch.

    (set by the sensitivity settings), the detector will deactivate a Vital output if one is mapped. If the rate of change is slow, typical of environmental drift, the detector will continuously track and compensate for the change. The Model P-1400 detector also monitors the loop frequency for out of range conditions such as an open or shorted loop circuit.
