ALARM RECOGNITION TIME
The Alarm Recognition Time is the length of time an alert condition
must be present before a valid alarm exists and dial-out is activated.
If a condition exists and then clears within the recognition time, it is
not considered an alarm. This is useful to prevent nuisance dialouts
for momentary alarm conditions or on self-correcting equipment.
Each Zone can be programmed with a different recognition time,
including Power Alarms and Sound Level Alarms. The default
recognition time is 3 seconds for all Zones, 5 minutes for Power,
and 8 seconds for Sound level. When using the wireless passive
infrared sensor the recognition time is fixed at 0 seconds. This is
required for proper operation of the sensor. You may program the
recognition time for Zone and Power Alarms from 0 seconds up to
540 minutes. Sound Level Alarms may be programmed from 5 to 60
seconds.
NOTE: When the main power fails, the 2800 will
announce out loud “Power is OFF” every 15 sec-
onds. It will do this regardless of the programmed
recognition time. As a result, when the programmed
recognition time is finally met, the unit will dial
immediately and not wait the programmed Call
Delay time. The Power Alarm is the only one treated
in this fashion.
