    Special Zone Outputs Presignal and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) Appendix B: Special Zone Outputs B.1 Presignal and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) B.1.1 What is Presignal and PAS? Purpose Presignal is a feature that initially causes alarm signals to only sound in specific areas, monitored by qualified persons. This allows delay of the alarm up to 180 seconds after the start of alarm processing.

    Features Intelligent Sensing Applications C.2.3 Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm You can set each detector, except FST-751 (Heat), for Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm (PA=1). In this Self-Optimizing mode, the software measures the normal peak analog readings and sets the Pre-Alarm level just above these normal peaks. This allows extremely sensitive Pre-Alarm capability with reasonable protection against non-fire signals.

  • Page 92: C.2.5: Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing

    Intelligent Sensing Applications Features C.2.5 Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing is the ability of a smoke detector to consider readings from nearby detectors in making alarm or pre-alarm decisions. Each detector can include up to two other detectors in its decision. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to resist false alarms, Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing allows a detector to increase its sensitivity to actual smoke by a factor of almost 2 to 1.
