Option
Description
SILENCE
Silenceable. The output group can be silenced through the SILENCE key.
NON-SIL
Not silenceable. The output group cannot be silenced. Activation of the SILENCE key will be
ignored for this output group.
AUT UNSIL
Auto Unsilenced. If this option is selected, the output group can be silenced for a
programmed time-frame. If the condition that caused the output to activate has not cleared
during the time-frame, the output reactivates. If you select this option, select the time-frame
in the delay field. Range is 05-60 minutes. (See Figure 7-9 for location of field.)
SIL-INHIB
Timed Silence after Inhibit. If this option is selected, the output group must be audible for a
programmed number of minutes before it can be silenced. If the condition that caused the
output to activate has not cleared during the time-frame, the output can be silenced. If you
select this option, select the timeframe in the delay field. Range is 05-60 minutes. (See
Figure 7-9 for location of field.)
SHUT-DOWN
If this option is selected, the output group will automatically silence (shut down) after the
programmed time period. If you select this option, select the timeframe in the delay field.
Range is 05-60 minutes. (See Figure 7-9 for location of field.)
Table 7-3: Output Group Response Choices
Option
Description
ManPull
Manual Pull Activation. Select Yes if you want this group to activate for all manual
pull alarms that occur in the system.
Note:
Even though manual pull switches are assigned to zones, activation select-
ed here for manual pull will override zone-programmed activation.
Fire Drill
Fire Drill Activation. Select Yes if you want this group to activate for fire drills.
Sys Aux1 and Sys Aux2
Select Yes if you want this output group to activate for system-wide Aux1 and Aux2
alarms. (Aux 1 and Aux 2 alarm types are for auxiliary alarm conditions. For
example, you might want to use Aux 1 to provide a unique alarm type and sound for
a severe weather condition.)
Ignore Global Cad
Ignore Global Cadence. If you want to create an output group that can never be
overridden, you can select Yes for this option. Selecting No means that system-wide
events that have been assigned an output pattern could override the pattern for the
output group.
For example, suppose you had assigned a set of strobes to Output Group 3. You
would never want these strobes to output in a pattern under any circumstances. To
make sure this happens, select Yes for Ignore Global Cadence for Output Group 3.
