Figure 26 Evacuation Codes
Non-Latching
Supervisory
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the
Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer will sound continuously. If the circuit activation is removed,
the supervisory condition will clear (so long as there are no other supervisory conditions in the system) and the circuit
Status LED will extinguish.
Latching Supervisory
These alarms are for supervisory devices. An activation on these circuits will cause the Circuit Status LED and the
Common Supervisory LED to illuminate amber. The buzzer will sound continuously. If the circuit activation is removed,
the Supervisory condition will not clear.
Monitor
This is a supervised general purpose non-latching input used mainly for correlating to a relay circuit. No other system
condition occurs as a result of its activation (short-circuit), although it is supervised for trouble (open-circuit).
Trouble-Only
This circuit is used for monitoring a trouble condition from an external device such as a Mircom Series 500 Audio
System. Both open and short circuits generate a non-latching trouble condition.
Circuit Type Description
Silenceable Signal
For audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may be silenced either manually or automatically.
While sounding, these follow the pattern appropriate for the condition: the configured evacuation code (default is
temporal code) during single-stage alarm, or two stage general alarm, or the alert code during a two stage
system's alert (first) stage.
Non-Silenceable Signal
For audible devices such as bells and piezo mini-horns that may not be silenced either manually or automatically.
While sounding, these follow the pattern appropriate for the condition: the configured evacuation code (default is
temporal code) during single-stage alarm, or two-stage general alarm, or the alert code during a two stage
system's alert (first) stage.
Strobe For visual devices such as strobes that use no code patterns (they are continuous).
Continuous: On 100% of the time
Temporal Code: 3 of 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off then, 1.5 second pause
March Code: 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off
California Code: 5 seconds on, 10 seconds off
Alert Code: 0.5 second on, 2.75 seconds off
General Alarm: Evacuation code as selected from above.
