ID3000/ID2000 Fire Panel Configuration Tool Manual
To ensure that the panel does not begin
processing another input BEFORE the locked
out state occurs, the panel will process a
number of flag-type rules in sequence, i.e. it is
looking to see if a lock-out is configured. The
number is pre-set, but can be adjusted if
necessary on the Control Matrix Input and
Output Rules window.
This option sets the number of flag-type rules
processed in sequence by the panel before it
starts processing another input, i.e. the panel
is looking to see if a lock-out is configured. It
should not normally need changing from its
default (5).
To determine the optimum setting for this
parameter, count the highest possible number
of sequential steps involving flag outputs, in
this panel's control matrix, from the initial alarm
input until the lock-out flag (flag 100 in the
example) has been reached. There is no need
to count steps which do not progress towards
the lock-out flag. In the example the applicable
steps are rule 3 followed by rule 13, thus the
parameter need only be set to 2.
It is not harmful to slightly over-specify the
parameter; leaving it at its default (5) normally
gives satisfactory performance. If set too low,
the panel may start processing another input
before detecting the lock out. If set too high,
the panel may perform unnecessary processing
of Control Matrix flags, slightly delaying the
reporting of subsequent alarms.
