Alert Annunciation

In some installations the Alert Annunciation function can be used to
avoid unwanted false alarms (nuisance alarms) to be sent to the fire
brigade. A time channel can turn on/off this function.
Trained personnel are required on site to locate the fire (the room) and
take the correct measures/actions depending on if there is a fire or not.
Normally analog smoke detectors and zones with smoke detectors
only, come in question to be programmed (via Win512 version 2.7.x)
for Alert Annunciation. Heat detectors and manual call points should
normally not for safety reasons come in question for Alert
Annunciation. A manual call point can only activate the AA function
if there are no other fire alarms activated in the system (i.e. the second
fire alarm will turn off the AA function)
The AA function is normally turned on (enabled) during daytime
working hours only. A time channel can turn on/off (enable / disable)
the AA function. When the AA function is turned on (enabled) it is
indicated by the LED Routing equipment "Fire brigade tx delay" on
the c.i.e. front. Normally only one time channel is used for this
function but two or more channels can be used. The AA function can,
as an alternative, be continuously "on".
NOTE! The AA function can be de-activated (turned off) via menu
H2/B10 and will then stay so until turned on (normal) again via menu
H2/B10.

Indications, print-outs, actions, etc. for an AA alarm are the same as
for a normal fire alarm except the output "Fire alarm" for routing
equipment (fire brigade tx) in each c.i.e. that will not be activated

Using an internal time channel is a VdS violation.
