Delayed Alarm - Panasonic EBL512 G3 Operating Instructions Manual

18.1.7. DELAYED ALARM

Delayed alarm is an option that has to be enabled (via EBLWin) for the alarm point respectively. The delay time (0-255 sec.) is, for
the whole system, set via EBLWin (System Properties, page 1). The delay time will be added at the end of the alarm algorithm when
a fire alarm normally would have been activated. For that reason this "extra" delay time should be as short as possible.
The Delayed alarm will be activated when the delay time countdown has started and will be activated until the delay time has run
out and a normal fire alarm is activated. No outputs will be activated. In case of a Delayed alarm, the following happens:
• The buzzer in the c.i.e. sounds 0.8 sec. each 5th sec. (0.8 sec. / 5 sec.).
• In the c.i.e. display, a presentation number (zone/address) is shown (for the first delayed alarm). Also a user definable text
message (= the alarm text for fire alarm) is shown (if programmed).
• Outputs programmed for delayed alarm will be activated.
Example; Delayed alarm zone 123, address 45 (within zone 123):

123-45

"SMOKE" after the presentation number is automatically added depending on the type of alarm point (for example SMOKE, HEAT,

If more than one Delayed alarm is activated, the LEDs "Alarms queued" are blinking and the Delayed alarms will be automatically
scrolled (each 5th second). Delayed alarms are automatically reset, see chapter
