5.2 Double Action Mode
The purpose of introducing a DOUBLE Action mode is to avoid false alarms. Where
MAG8Plus has been programmed to function in this mode, in the case of a fire signal,
the panel does not alarm at once but waits for the alarm event to be repeated within a
specific time interval - Figure 25. The time interval has been set by default and cannot
be adjusted. For MAG8Plus it is 3 minutes.
Attention: The fire alarm panel MAG8Plus is capable to distinguish the activation
of automatic fire alarm detector and call point. In case of call point activation, the
programmed DOUBLE Action mode will be ignored and the sounders will be activated
immediately.
In order to program the fire alarm panel for Double Action mode:
• Set a jumper on the DOUBLE terminal of the main module - Figure 10.
• Press
to introduce changes.
EXAMPLE 1: In this case the fire panel will not activate the sounders and the signalization
on the front panel because during time interval 2 no second alarm signal is generated.
EXAMPLE 2: In this case the fire panel will activate the sounders and the signalization
on the front panel because during time interval 2, two alarm signals are generated.
5.3 Instant Action Mode
Where in the armed site there are zones, which need the sounders and the remote
indicators to be enabled instantaneously, the panel provides instant action working
mode. This mode can be programmed individually for every single zone, depending on
its designation. In instant action mode, in case of an alarm event occurring in the zone,
the sounders are immediately enabled, i.e. this mode is of priority by zones compared to
Double Action and Sounder Delay modes.
In order to program Instant Action mode for a selected zone:
• Set a jumper on the terminal that corresponds to the number of the zone - Figure 13.
• Press
to introduce changes.
Example: If the designation of ZONE 1 requires instant activation of all automatic fire
alarm detectors connected in the line, set a jumper at Z1 terminals.
