Installation and Operation Manual
Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)
When an alarm causing device associated with a zone with PAS feature is initiated, the alert condition is reported
on the panel. The activation of all system evacuation signals are delayed for 15 seconds (PAS delay time) waiting
for a manual acknowledgement response.
If no response is received within 15 seconds, the panel proceeds to activate system evacuation signals. See
Figure A.
If the alarm event is acknowledged during the PAS delay time, the programmable PAS investigation time (180
seconds) is added to the PAS delay time before system evacuation signals are activated. See Figure B.
However, if a 2nd alarm is initiated anytime during the PAS delay time or PAS investigation time, the system
evacuation signals are immediately activated. See Figure C.
Pressing the Reset button at anytime during the PAS sequence will initiate a reset condition and try to restore
the panel to stand‐by state.
