If the initiating device and the panel are reset before the PAS timer times out, the alarm 
sequence is aborted. 
During the investigation period, an alarm condition on a detector programmed for direct alarm 
response (such as the key switch on a manual station) will override the PAS timer and activate 
the additional user-programmed outputs. 
See the FS-250 Programming Manual, P/N 315-049403, for additional details. 
• PRE-SIGNAL ALARMS 
Activation of an initiating device in an input group programmed for PRE_SIGNAL, activates the 
Alarm LED< display, buzzer, system and user-programmed outputs. 
The delay of activation of additional user-programmed outputs can be programmed from 60 to 
180 seconds. If the system is not reset during this periond, these additional user-programmed 
outputs will activate. 
See the FS-250 Programming Manual, P/N 315-049403, for additional details. 
  Do not reset the system until the alarm condition has been cleared. The LCD display will 
indicate the area in which the alarm was detected. The detector or module associated with the 
device initiating the alarm will display a light indicating activation (if applicable). 
When the alarm condition has been corrected, return the system to standby operation by 
pressing the SYSTEM RESET button. 
•  ALARMS ON RELEASING ZONES 
Devices that will activate the releasing circuits must be assigned to the releasing group via the 
FS-CT2 configuration tool or front panel programming. The releasing group may be configured 
to activate on any one alarm, a number of alarms (between 2 – 10) or any one smoke plus any 
one thermal alarm. 
For instance, if the threshold of the group was set at any 2, the following would occur: The first 
device activating will put the panel in a releasing group pre-alarm condition. When the second 
device in that zone activates, it will start the agent release timer and put the panel in pre-
discharge condition. If the threshold were to be set at one, any device in that group activating 
would immediately start the agent release timer. 
When the agent release timer is activated, the LCD display will display the timer as it counts 
down. The screen will display “agent release in XX seconds” and the “Pre-Discharge” LED will 
be ON-steady. 
When the agent release timer expires, the panel goes to the discharge condition and activates 
the releasing zone. This is indicated by the “Discharge” LED turning ON-steady.
