SWITCH
(cont.)
WATERFLOW
Latching Use this switch type for monitoring water flow in a
sprinkler system. Switch closure will cause a sprinkler
alarm. Water flow switches can be programmed as
latching or non-latching.
You can program a delay of up to 90 seconds to be used
with a water flow switch. The delay allows for normal,
brief changes in sprinkler system water pressure. The
water flow alarm will not activate unless the switch is
active for the programmed delay time.
If a delay is used, the system begins counting down
when the switch closes. If the switch opens (restores)
before the timer expires, a water flow alarm is not
generated. If the water flow switch remains closed after
the timer expires, a water flow alarm will be generated.
Non Latching
SUPERVISORY
Latching Use this switch type for tamper monitoring of sprinklers
and other fire protection devices. If a contact closes, a
sprinkler supervisory event will be generated.
Supervisory switches can be latching or non-latching.
Non Latching
FIREDRILL
System-level, non latching switch. This switch is an
alternative way of causing a fire drill. It has the same
operation as the fire drill option available from the
annunciator. When the switch is activated, a fire drill
begins; when the switch is de-activated, the fire drill
ends.
SILENCE
This system-level switch is an alternative way to silence
the fire and advisory systems. It has the same effect as
pressing the SILENCE key.
RESET
This system-level switch is an alternative way to reset
the fire and advisory systems. It has the same effect as
pressing the RESET key.
P.A.S ACK
Positive acknowledge switch. This switch must be used
in zones programmed as Positive Alarm Sequence (see
Table 7-1).
If an acknowledge switch closes when an alarm or
trouble condition is not already in progress, a trouble will
occur.
You must use a UL listed normally open, momentary
switch type. The switch must be rated at 5V, 100 mA
(minimum) and be used with an EOL resistor for
supervision.
ZONE AUX1
Latching Use these switch types if you want to monitor special
zone-level conditions (such as operation of a fan or
damper).
Non Latching
