Alarm types
In case of a fire, analog detectors (sensors), conventional smoke
and/or heat detectors, manual call points and programmable inputs can
activate fire alarm. If somebody illegally breaks into a key cabinet,
this will also activate a "fire alarm" (i.e. a key cabinet alarm).
A fire alarm could be an Alert Annunciation alarm, i.e. the
activation of the routing equipment (fire brigade tx) is delayed during
an acknowledgement time and an investigation time respectively.
The analog detectors can also activate two other types of "alarm", i.e.
Pre-warning and Heavy smoke alarm / Heavy heat alarm.
"Two unit dependent" addressable alarm points (normally only smoke
detectors) and "2-zone dependent" zones, can activate a Co-incidence
alarm.
Quiet alarm is normally used on the Australian market only, for fan
control.
In the Australian convention only, an Alarm Acknowledgement
Facility function can be used. During the Acknowledgement Period
and the Investigation Period respectively, there will only be an
indication in the c.i.e. display. NOTE! Special hardware is required.
Acknowledged and Isolated alarm is a fire alarm function only used
in New Zealand.
Regarding the different alarm types, etc., see the following chapters.
NOTE!
In the following chapters are all different alarm types described.
The figures in this document show the essential information and
might not look exactly as shown in the display.
Pre-warning
Activation of Pre-warning is an option that has to be enabled (via
WinG3) for the whole system. Note! Pre-warnings activated in any
control unit in the system will be presented in all control units and all
programmable outputs in the system (with trigger condition pre-
warning) will be activated (if not disabled).
An analog detector will generate a pre-warning for a lower alarm level
than the fire alarm level.
warning and/or an early action is required (e.g. a "soft" computer shut
down). Normal alarm devices (output type "Alarm devices"), routing
equipment, etc. will not be activated.

See EBL512 G3 Planning Instructions. Any programmable input can also
be used to activate a pre-warning, e.g. for a High Sensitivity Smoke Detector
system.
