Device option Description
Follow This option controls the conditions that will activate relay or sounder detector
bases. Select from the following values:
Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings.
• The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is
set for alarm verification.
• If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the
detector goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the
alarm restores.
• The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter
how the detector is configured. Also, the base only follows the primary
element of a dual element detector. Any activation from a secondary
element does not trigger the base.
• Devices with the base set to follow Head cannot be placed in correlation
groups. When a device base is set to follow Head, the base is removed as
an output from any Correlation Groups to which it belongs.
Alarm: The base activates its relay when the detector goes into alarm. The base
will not restore until the alarm event has been restored.
Alarm and verify (ALM+VFY): The base activates its relay when the detector
goes into alarm verify and continues when the detector goes into alarm. The
base will not restore until both events have been restored.
Alarm and prealarm (ALM+PALM): The base activates its relay when the
detector goes into prealarm and continues when the detector goes into an alarm.
The base will not restore until both events have been restored.
Riser: The base is triggered individually by the loop controller (sounder bases
only).
None: A correlation group triggers the base. It can be applied to both relay and
sounder bases and is used for relay bases configured as latched output devices.
Incremental programming procedure
Referring to Table 23 on page 69, follow these steps to auto program the panel.
Not all options shown in Table 23 are displayed on all systems.
Notes
• Use the Right or Left Arrow button rather than the Enter button to select
values for each option. The Enter button starts the incremental program
sequence immediately no matter which option the cursor is on.
• The values you select are preserved and will be displayed as defaults the
next time you incrementally program the panel.
