Appendix D: SIA False Alarm Reduction Features
The BHS-i100 can be set to a SIA default mode from the Home
Menu by selecting Set Defaults. You will be asked to confirm
that you want to reset the programming defaults, and then
asked which Compliance Mode you want to use. Your options
are Brinks Mode or SIA Mode (factory default). To use
programming defaults that comply with the SIA Standard, select
the SIA Mode.
Following are a list of SIA False Alarm Reduction features
which are different than the Brinks mode, and corresponding
default settings.
Swinger Trips - Defines the number of alarms that must
occur on a zone before it is automatically bypassed. Only
zones with Swinger Bypass Enable set to YES are swinger
bypass candidates. The default setting is 1.
Automatic Swinger Reset - Enables automatic resetting of
swinger bypassed zones following a continuous 1 hour
interval of no new alarms. Each bypassed zone has a
separate 1 hour timer for timing this operation. The default
setting is NO.
Swinger Bypass Enable - A zone configuration option that
enables individual zones for swinger bypass processing.
The default setting is NO.
Fire Verification - A zone configuration option that enables
automatic fire power cycling and re-sense in accordance
with NFPA-72 fire verification requirements which, if
enabled, requires two alarms on one or more fire zones
within a two minute window before a fire alarm event is
signaled. A fire sensor reset (fire power recycle) is
performed upon the occurrence of the first fire alarm
indication. If a second fire alarm is indicated within two
minutes of the first then a fire alarm is signaled. The default
setting is NO.
Cross Zone Seconds - Cross zoning is an alarm verification
technique that requires an alarm on two zones within the
Cross Zone Seconds time window before an alarm event is
signaled. The default setting is 20.
Cross Zone Enable - A zone configuration option that
enables individual zones for cross zone processing. The
default setting is NO.
Exit Time Restart - Causes the exit timer to restart once if a
door (exit/entry zone) is opened, closed, and then reopened
within the initial exit delay countdown following an arming.
The default setting is YES.
Automatic Motion Off - Automatically arms the system in a
MOTION OFF mode if no door (exit/entry zone) was opened
during the exit delay countdown. The default setting is
YES.
Exit Error - Enables exit error processing if a door
(entry/exit zone) is still open at the expiration of the exit
delay countdown. Exit error will sound the local alarm,
initiate an entry delay, and signal alarm and exit error
events if the system is not disarmed by the expiration of
the entry delay countdown. The default setting is YES.
Recent Closing - Enables signaling of a recent closing
event that indicates an alarm occurred within five minutes
of arming. The default setting is YES.
