The example here means that any fire operation will delay all alarms and programmed cause/effect (including transmission of network cause / effect) for 1 minute between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm.

Note

All panel repeaters, pagers and printer operation, and network indications are not delayed.

The Day / Night Settings

The Day / Night sensitivity clock

A 7 day programmer is used to define the day time period for mode change

(Discovery) and Trip levels (XP95)

Information

The example here shows day time being defined as Monday – Friday 9.00 am to

5.00 pm. The company does not work weekends and therefore the weekends are defined as outside day time working.

The Software Timers

The panels 4 internal delay Timers

4 internal timers may be set for use with the panels cause/effect. Typical uses may be phased evacuation, shutdown delays, signalling delays, start up delays etc.

Delay Timer Operation

Each timer is connected to a Virtual Panel

Input and Output (Designated Inputs /

Outputs 249-252 {Remembering that the panel may have up to 248 actual panel inputs / outputs via the 8 way expansion cards}).

The inputs are added to the list of panel inputs found in “Zones/groups” and the outputs are listed in “Select Output”

Example:

By configuring a cause condition to output

249, the timer 1 will start when that condition is activated. At the end of the delay set here input 249 will then be triggered and available as a zone cause for triggering further cause/effect.
