An activation group has the following properties:
Name: The activation group name.
Function: The activation group type / function.
Activation on Input state: The activation group output(s) will be
activated if one of the activation group inputs enters the input state.
The inputs state options are dependent on the activation group
selected. For a point activation group the point alarm state is the input
state (Alarm, PreAlarm, Alarm Test or PreAlarm Test). A DZ activation
group the input state will be the DZ activation state (Large Alarm,
Small Alarm, Silence Alarm, DZ PreAlarm, Alarm Blocked).
Activation on Fault state: The activation group output(s) will be
activated if one of the activation group inputs enters fault state. The
fault state impact is also dependent on the voting state, if the voting is
set to “1 input state” the fault state is ignored.
Activation on Disable state: The activation group output(s) will be
activated if one of the activation group inputs enters disable state. The
disable state impact is also dependent on the voting state, if the voting
is set to “1 input state” the disable state is ignored.
Silence: The silence property is set to turn off the activation group
when the panel is silenced (silence command is activated by the panel
operator). The Detection Zone activate group has set the silence
property when activating Alarm Zones, since the Alarm Zones shall be
deactivated at silence. Point, input and output activation groups has
also the silence option, the default value is off, setting the silence
property for these groups and there connected outputs will turned off
at silence.
Voting on state: The voting of input, fault and/or disable state, see
next section for detail description.
Output state: The state that the connected outputs will enter when
the activation group is active. The output state options are dependent
on the connected outputs. For a Alarm Zone the Alarm Zone state is
the output state (General Alarm, Evacuate, Alert, Bell Test, User1,
User2 or User3). For output units like general output, door etc. the
output state will only be set to “On”.
The activation groups have got the following voting options as shown
below.
