synchronization
Two ways of voice alarm device synchronization are available in FC360 system:
synchronization only within devices having the same device number and
synchronization with devices having different device numbers.
As a default setting in task card 'Other settings' in FC360 Panel Configurator,
checkbox 'Synchronization between EVAC zones (max 3 devices per zone)' is
not activated. This means synchronization happens only within voice alarm
devices having the same device number. Voice alarm devices having different
device numbers are not synchronized. See document
information about device numbers.
The panel guarantees that the synchronization within the same device number
works if no more than five device numbers are used.
If checkbox 'Synchronization between EVAC zones (max 3 devices per zone)'
is activated, synchronization happens with devices having different device
numbers. Assign maximum three voice alarm devices to a device number in
task card 'Detection & Control' to ensure the synchronization.
The panel supports max. 64 device numbers if this synchronization way is
adopted.
Note: Only 'Global alarm' activates the synchronization of voice alarm devices
having different device numbers. All other activation options, e.g., Any manual
device, don't activate the synchronization with voice alarm devices activated by
'Global alarm'.
NOTICE
If evacuation module (FTO3601-H1) (NL) is installed, pressing the <START>
button twice activates all voice alarm devices, even though some voice alarm
devices are configured to be triggered only by manual alarms.
Synchronization happens within all voice alarm devices.
Voice test activates all voice alarm devices. Synchronization happens within
all voice alarm devices in voice test mode.
Configurations of voice alarm device synchronization in FC360
Panel Configurator
Checking the checkbox of 'Synchronization between EVAC zones (max 3 devices
per zone)' in task card 'Other settings' enables synchronization within all voice
alarm devices linked to 'Global alarm' in a global alarm state. Based on different
used cases, device behaviors may be different:
If all voice alarm devices are configured to be triggered by panel state 'Global
alarm', synchronization happens within all voice alarm devices in a global alarm
state.
If some voice alarm devices are configured to be triggered only by manual
alarms, synchronization within all voice alarm devices may or may not happen:
If an auto-alarm device is activated, only the voice alarm device linked to
the specific auto-alarm device is activated during T1 and T2. All the others
remain deactivated in this period.
If an auto-alarm device triggers a global alarm, voice alarm devices linked
to manual-alarm devices are not activated. Synchronization only happens
within voice alarm devices linked to 'Global alarm'.
If an auto-alarm device triggers a global alarm and a manual-alarm device
is also activated later on, synchronization happens first within voice alarm
devices linked to 'Global alarm', and then the voice alarm device linked to
the activated manual-alarm device joins the synchronization.
