Quiet alarm

A smoke detector can be set to quiet alarm i.e. non-latching detector / non-brigade call
alarm. This feature is used in AS1668 supply air / stair pressurization fan control
applications or in residential units as a non-latching smoke alarm.
In AS1668 supply air fan applications, the type "Quiet alarm" is used to set up the duct
detector to be non-latching and resets automatically after the time delay that is configured
in EBLWin is expired. In residential applications, type "Quiet alarm" is used in conjunction
with the sounder base 3379
unit while the active fire alarms are situated elsewhere within the unit
activated from general fire alarm in the common areas.
Photo electric smoke detectors, programmed for quiet alarm are used to control AS1668
fans, this requires fan control module in the control panel and an I/O unit 3361 for fan
control. See Section 13.5.1 "Trigger conditions" page 86.
Indications and actions:

Detector LEDs are turned on (also a connected RIL).

In the CIE display: Quiet alarm detector ZZZ-AA and a user definable alarm text,
if programmed.

LEDs "Fire" in the CIE are blinking (0.4 / 0.4 sec.).

Buzzer in the CIE sounding (0.8 / 5 sec.).

Programmable outputs for quiet alarm is activated, e.g. 3361 outputs controlling
the AS1668 fans i.e. any output with a control expression containing trigger
conditions "Quiet Alarm Zone" or "Quiet Alarm Zone Address".
Note: Quiet alarm can also be programmed for a 3361 unit "zone line input". In such a
case, only non-latching detectors can be used.

Fire alarm type A and Fire alarm type B

Normally the CIE relay output "Fire alarm" is used for Fire alarm routing equipment (Fire
brigade TX). This output is activated for fire alarm from any alarm point or zone line input
(General fire alarm).
If the fire alarm routing equipment has provision for transmission of several fire alarm
signals and the alarm receiver has provision for reception of several fire alarm signals, a
as a localised warning in a designated area within the
