Tone Period (S) - Reach PP5099 Manual

Tone Period (S)

The tone period setting is a value in seconds (s) that is used to 'count in' a sounder to allow it to synchronize with
sounders already activated.
In order to properly sync sounders, the length (s) of the selected sounder tone must be divisible by the tone period.
Note: As REACH Tones are selected in pairs, the length of both the primary and secondary tone must be considered.
Note: Longer tone periods increase delay in 'counting in' a sounder before activating.
For sites using the same tone pair throughout, the below table shows the optimal sync period value.
A 4s tone period can be used for all tones other than tone 7 (Swedish Fire Signal), however, many tones will have
improved activation performance if a shorter 2s tone period can be used.
