EMS SYSTEM 5000

9.9 Selecting Verify Delay Operation:

Delay Mode Operation
The panel can be configured to operate in a delayed mode either manually or via a
secondary keyswitch.
When selected, alarm signals received from a detector will generate a fire alarm
message on the panel but delay the operation of the sounders. The panel will initiate a
full fire alarm condition if no action is taken on this warning within a specified period.
The use of visual delay mode must be configured at level 3, by an installer/maintenance
contractor, before it is available for use at level 2.
The visual delay mode can be configured to operate when manually selected at the
panel, via a secondary keyswitch or automatically via a separate timer. The maximum
time allowed for acknowledging the timer can be programmed in intervals of one second.
Whilst the visual delay mode Function is active the front screen will display VERIFY
DELAY MODE.
Standard Delay Operation
When a fire alarm condition is detected in this mode, the internal buzzer will sound. The
device location will be shown on the display along with a warning that the panel has
entered delayed alarm.
If the warning is not acknowledged, by pressing the "SILENCE ALARM" button, within the
time allowed, then a full fire alarm condition will be raised and the sounders will activate.
Pressing the "SILENCE ALARM" button within the time allowed will cause the timer to
stop.
A secondary device activating within the timer or a manual call point activation will
immediately generate a fire alarm condition.
