Alarm types

In case of a fire, analog detectors (sensors), conventional smoke
and/or heat detectors, manual call points and programmable inputs can
activate fire alarm. If somebody illegally breaks into a key cabinet,
this will also activate a "fire alarm" (i.e. a key cabinet alarm).
A fire alarm could be an Alert Annunciation alarm, i.e. the
activation of the routing equipment (fire brigade tx) is delayed during
an acknowledgement time and an investigation time respectively.
The analog detectors can also activate two other types of "alarm", i.e.
Pre-warning and Heavy smoke alarm / Heavy heat alarm.
"Two unit dependent" addressable alarm points (normally only smoke
detectors) and "2-zone dependent" zones, can activate a Co-incidence
alarm.
Quiet alarm is normally used on the Australian market only, for fan
control.
If the Local Alarm Acknowledgement function is used there will be
an indication in the c.i.e. display during the Acknowledgement Period
and the Investigation Period respectively.
Acknowledged and Isolated alarm is a fire alarm function only used
in New Zealand.
Regarding the different alarm types, etc., see the following chapters.

EBLWin) for the control unit respectively.
activated in any control unit in the system will always be presented in
all control units and all programmable outputs in the system (with
trigger condition pre-warning) will be activated (if not disabled).
An analog detector will generate a pre-warning for a lower alarm level
than the fire alarm level.
warning and/or an early action is required (e.g. a "soft" computer shut
down). Normal alarm devices (output type "Alarm devices"), routing
equipment, etc. will not be activated.
In case of a pre-warning, the following happens:

See EBL512 G3 Planning Instructions. Any programmable input can also
be used to activate a pre-warning, e.g. for a High Sensitivity Smoke Detector
system. Aspirating smoke detector Aspect Lazeer (AE2010L-P)
programmed for Detection type "And with pre-warning" will activate a pre-
warning for "alarm" from one detection area only.
