Edwards Signaling eFSA250 - Manual (Page 46)

Chapter 2: Front panel programming
34 E-FSA64 and E-FSA250 Technical Reference Manual
• Circuit one on all E-IDCWS modules
• All E-NAC and E-RLY modules
• All panel NACs
• All zones configured as alarm
The following inputs are not included in correlation group 001 during auto
programming:
• Relay and sounder bases with the Follow option set to Head. All sounder
bases are programmed as Relay during auto programing.
Note the following:
• Any items included in correlation group 001 can be removed manually using
front panel programming or the configuration utility.
• Any detectors, modules, or zones, where the type is changed to a type other
than alarm, should be removed manually from correlation group 001 to avoid
activating that correlation group.
• If zoning is used, the zones must be in the appropriate correlation group so
devices assigned to that zone activate the correlation group.
What is in-suite signal silence?
In-suite signal silence is a form of automatic alarm silencing that can be enabled
for correlation groups. The function is used in residential complexes to minimize
the annoyance of false alarms within living quarters. When an alarm input device
activates, evacuation signals activate normally. After one minute, alarms in living
quarters outside the alarm zone deactivate briefly. This interval is called the
shutdown period and gives building personnel time to investigate the problem.
Room evacuation signals in the alarm zone and hallway signals throughout the
building remain active.
If the alarm has not been cleared within programmed allotted time (1 to 10
minutes), or if a subsequent alarm occurs, all signals resound. The shutdown
period can be adjusted at the panel. In-suite signal silence can be turned off
completely at the panel by setting the Suite Signal Silence option to Off (default).
This setting is found at Program > Advanced Program > Panel Operation.
Notes
• Only alarm events can initiate in-suite signal silence.
• Only the first alarm is silenced by in-suite signal silence. Any additional
alarms sound as programmed and are not automatically silenced.
