Local Alarm Acknowledgement (Laa); Table 13 Alarm Acknowledgement Function - Panasonic Firetracker FT1020G3 CIE Technical And Programming Manual

The AAF zone xx (xx=00-99) is only valid for the CIE it is shown in, i.e. not for the whole
system.
Notes:

The AAF alarm indication is only shown in one Control Unit, i.e. in the Control Unit
to which the AAF equipment is connected.

All devices within the same AAF zone must be connected to the same CIE

Maximum number of smoke detectors in an AAF zone is 5.

Smoke detectors in an AAF zone cannot be programmed as 2-unit-dependent and
not be controlled by the Alert Annunciation function.

Only Analogue photo electric smoke detector 4401 (4301) and Analogue multi
detector 4400 (4300) can be used for AAF. If the Analogue multi detector 4400 is
used, it must be programmed as type "Two addresses", so that only the "smoke
part" of the detector can be used in AAF function.

Max. 100 AAF zones (00-99) per CIE

The sounder base 3379 has to be programmed with the trigger condition "AAF
zone alarm" (and other trigger conditions).

Local Alarm Acknowledgement (LAA)

The local alarm acknowledgement is the European's equivalent of the Australian alarm
acknowledgement facility. The function is identical to the AAF explained in section 17.13.1
with different terminologies. The functionality of Panasonic's LAAU and Brooks AAM are
shown in Table 13 below.

One LAA zone consists of one to five analogue smoke detectors 4400 / 4401 (4300 / 4301),
one LAA buzzer (sounder base 3379) and one Local Alarm Acknowledgement Unit (LAAU).
All connected on the same COM loop.
Note: All devices included in an LAA zone must be connected to the same CIE.
The local alarm acknowledgement connection diagram is shown in Figure 44 below.
