Sounder Start & Stop Times - Zeta Alarm Systems SIMPLICITY PLUS SP-64/M Installation Manual

SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL
8.6 SOUNDER START & STOP TIMES
On a Fyreye MKII system, sounders are normally started with a group start command, so the panel will start all sounders
together.
When using Sandwich sounder in detector triggered mode, the panel will start all sounders instantly using the group start
command. But due to the nature of the base, it will turn them off individually, so stopping sounders on a large loop may
take a few seconds.
There are 2 methods to speed up the stop times of these sounders.
1. For ease of functional checking during installation, the simplicity panel assumes that every detector found
during the loop configuration has an associated sounder base. This allows every sounder to run.
If the system uses associated sounders on some addresses, then the addresses with no sounder should have the
associated sounder turned off in order to speed up sounder response time (See Section 12.4)
2. Give the sounders an address with the address programming tool.
NOTE: If alarm Verification is used on the system, only the first option can be used as alarm verification requires a
detector & sounder to be at the same address
