6.7 - Set up a New System (HMO) – commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>1.Setup>>4.System Setup>>2.New Setup>>2.HMO System
The HMO setup reduces disruption to residents in other ats by false
alarm. Note that the HMO setup is not EN54 approved. Upon activation
within a at, an alert tone will be sounded in that at. Residents can have
the ability of silencing these alarms using the Silence Buttons (EDA-
T5100) instead of visiting the main control panel. Should those sounders
not be silenced within a speci ed time the panel will go into full evacu-
ate, where upon the silence buttons will no longer silence the alarm.
The panel should only be con gured as an HMO system if the dwellings
are to be equipped with silence buttons (EDA-T5100). Using the HMO
option, a dwelling without a silence button will be unable to silence an
alert, causing the system to evacuate the building after the time out
period has elapsed. HMO installations not equipped with silence buttons
should be con gured using the standard setup option (see page 16).
Select HMO System and press Enter to start. The panel will ask if you
want it to enter test mode. Select using the and keys and press
Enter. The panel will test the radio channel, press Enter. When the screen
displays ‘Channel OK’ press Enter. Now you will be asked to designate
each zone as either a common zone or a dwelling zone. The zone
designation will a ect how the system reacts to an alarm within the
zone. The zone designation can be changed later in the HMO Zones
menu. Once completed the following settings for the system need to be
entered. These can be changed later in the HMO Options menu.
Alert Tone: This tone will operate in the dwelling where the
activation originated.
Alert Relay: This relay can be set to on, o or pulsed while the
HMO alert is active.
Evac Tone: Tone to be sounded if a dwelling device has not
been silenced within the react time, or if a device in a common zone is triggered.
Evac Relay: This relay can be set to on, o or pulsed while the Evac alert is active.
React Time: If an alert is not silenced within this time period, the system will trigger an evacuation.
Ventilate Time: After the panel is silenced using a silence button the panel ignores all further re signals in
that zone until this timeout expires.
Alert Period: If the alert limit is reached within this time period, the whole building will be evacuated.
Alert Limit: The number of activations allowed during the alert period. Once reached, the panel will
evacuate the whole building.
Once the above options are complete, devices can start to be programmed in the normal manner by holding
down the unit removal button, the reset button and moving the jumper link to the ON position. Hold down the
button(s) for approximately 5 seconds until 3 beeps are heard from the device and press Enter on the panel. For
further information see 6.29 – Adding a Device.
