Choose 12 (am/pm) or 24-hour (military) for-
mat. Use <NEXT> and <PREV> to scroll
between options and <ENTER> to set.
The Active Status Reminder option allows
you to set an interval and duration during
which the panel reminds operators that a
FIRE, SUPV, or TBL condition still exists. This
is accomplished by sounding the front panel
tone-alert.
• Choose: ON or OFF (default = OFF).
• Set reminder interval
(1-12 hours)
• Signal duration. This option sets the
duration of the acknowledge signal. (0-
60 seconds; 0=on until ack; default=5)
The default for this option is 0, meaning
an acknowledge is required to silence
the reminder.
While the timer is counting down, the Alarm
Silence/Reset Inhibit Timer prevents a sys-
tem operator from using either the Alarm
Silence or System Reset functions. When the
inhibit timer expires, the 4008 may be reset/
silenced.
Choose a timer range from 0-60 minutes
(default=0 - no inhibit)
The Alarm Signal Cutout timer allows you to
set a duration for how long notification appli-
ances sound after an alarm. In other words,
when an alarm condition exists, the signals
sound until silenced. With this option set at
two minutes, building signals sound on alarm
for two minutes and then stop sounding.
However, the alarm condition remains active.
Choose a timer range from 0-60 minutes
(default=0 - no cutout)
Allows the 4008 to hold doors open for a set
duration during an alarm condition. After that
duration has expired, the 4008 shuts off the
door holder relays (all DHOLDER point
types). Choose a timer range from 0-60 min-
utes (default=0 - immediate door drop). This
option applies to all DHOLDER relay function
types, regardless of their Alarm Group set-
ting.

Option
The Door Holder Drop on AC Failure allows
the 4008 to hold doors open for a set duration
during an AC power loss condition. After that
timer has expired, the 4008 turns off the door
holder relays (all DHOLDER point types). The
AC Doors range for the timer is 0-60 minutes with a
default setting of 5 minutes. To have the door
holders drop the doors immediately upon AC
power loss, set the timer to 0. This option
applies to all DHOLDER relay function types
regardless of their Alarm Group setting.
This option selects the operation of the 4008 if
an alarm occurs during an AC power loss
while a depleted battery trouble exists. If this
option is selected, the system does the fol-
lowing:
• WILL NOT initiate an alarm if the first
alarm occurs after the depleted battery
Depleted Bat- state has been detected. If the hardware
tery Cutout jumper for depleted battery cutout has
been clipped, the system will shut down
60 seconds after the depleted battery
condition is detected
• WILL continue sounding the alarm if the
depleted battery state is reached after
the system is already in the alarm state.
Display 1st When this option is selected, the 4008 will
Alarm automatically display the first (oldest) alarm
instead of the Alarm Tally abnormal screen.
This allows the first responder to determine
the location of the first alarm in the system
without having to open the door and press the
acknowledge key.
If an unacknowledged alarm exists, the sys-
tem displays that alarm. When that alarm is
acknowledged, the system shall revert to dis-
playing the oldest alarm.
If no fire alarms exist in the system, the first
supervisory event is shown on the display. If
no supervisories exist, the first trouble is
shown on the display. If there are no fire
alarms, supervisories, or troubles, the SYS-
TEM NORMAL screen is displayed.
Enable City Cir- This option activates the 4008 Circuit Module.
cuit If a city circuit is used in the system this
option must be selected or a trouble will be
reported. If this option is selected and the city
module is not connected, the trouble will also
report. There is no other programming
required for the city module. The city type is
configured with jumpers on the city circuit
board.
