Then press “Save” to exit.

22. The Panel Delay Settings The Set the panel delay A 24 hr clock allows the engineer to define the period and duration to delay all sounder and relay outputs Information 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.
