Resetting all ALARM counters.

There a two main timers used in ALERT mode:

TIMEOUT_1 = 60 minute alert condition. All alert events cause the unit to stay in ALERT

mode for 60 minutes from the last ALERT event. At the end of TIMEOUT 1

the status of the ALERT event is rechecked see 24.

TIMEOUT_2 = 30 minute secondary timer. If the last ALARM to cause alert is still asserted

After the end of TIMEOUT_1 it is held in ALERT mode for an additional

30 minute interval see 26.

Processing FIRE events

The following events can cause an ALERT system to go to FIRE mode, if the sensors are connected and

operational:

a) Door opening

b) Manual Fire/ Breach open

c) Tilt > 2 seconds

In Level II (Canadian)

d) Door opening without bolt (Generic NC input # 2) opening.

Disarming an ALERT system.

Provision has been made the an ALL_SAFE signal, to denote authorized access, is incorporated in the system for

those who wish to deactivate the system and gain access to the safe without causing a fireable condition. This

signal is a NC to NO transition. The system is not deactivated on ALL_SAFE operation but it is placed in

ARMED mode and all alarm conditions and timers are reset to allow opening the door to DISARM the system.

In Level II (Canadian) operation the bolt indicator acts to disarm the system.

Checking for last ALERT condition timeout.

As stated in 21 above, an ALERT system will remain in ALERT mode for a minimum of 60 minutes unless the

ALL_SAFE signal is applied.

Verifying that the last ALERT event is still active after 60 minutes.

If the event is still active it will be disabled; however, the system will continue in the ALERT state for an

additional 30 minutes.

Checking for last still active ALERT condition timeout.

As stated in 21 above, an ALERT system will remain in ALERT mode for a minimum of 30 minutes after the

initaial 60 minute count if the contact which caused the last alert is still active.
