Fire Alarm Type B; Fire Alarm Type A; Disable Zones, Alarm Points, Outputs, Etc - Panasonic Firetracker FT1020G3 CIE Technical And Programming Manual

fire alarm type B will indicate that only one detector is activated, which could be a nuisance
alarm. If a fire alarm type A is received, the probability of a real fire is higher than for a fire
alarm type B. The alarm receiver can take different actions depending on if it is a type A
or B fire alarm.
17.15.1

Fire alarm type B

The output is to be programmed (via EBLWin) as type "Routing equipment" and have the
trigger condition "One detector alarm".
The output will be activated for fire alarm from one Analogue addressable smoke, heat or
multi detector only.
Note: A multi detector can have one presentation number (Zone-Address) i.e. when
programmed as one address with decision algorithm / one address with OR functionality
or two independent presentation numbers i.e. one presentation number for smoke and
the second number for heat.
17.15.2

Fire alarm type A

The output is to be programmed (via EBLWin) as type "Routing equipment" and have the
trigger condition "Multiple detector alarm".
The output will be activated for fire alarm from:

Two or more Analogue addressable smoke, heat or multi detectors.

Any manual call point

Any zone line input

Any programmable input with the trigger condition "General Fire"

Disable zones, alarm points, outputs, etc.

Temporary disablements are made via the menu H2 sub menus
see FT1020G3 Operation Manual, chapter "Disable or re-enable (H2)". The disablements
are re-enabled via menu H2 sub menus.
Regular disablements are made via time channels, see chapter "Time channels", page 151.
When alarm reset method "Single with automatic disablement"
EBLWin "System Properties", the function will be as follows:
If an alarm point or zone is in alarm state when being reset it will not only be reset but
also disabled. It has to be re-enabled (via menu H2/B1) the same way as if it was disabled
via menu H2/B1.
Disabled alarm points and outputs are indicated by LED Fault / Disablements "General
disablements" on the CIE front and are listed in menu H4/U1-U2.
Enhanced Disablement (Default) = Fire alarm, pre-warning and fault signal cannot be
activated by the disabled alarm point/zone. If only fire alarm and pre-warning required to
be disabled, "Enhanced Disablement" must not be selected, see chapter "System
properties, Page 2", page 144.
Note: Enhanced Disablement is NOT valid when a time channel is used for disablements,
only when menu H2/B1 is used.

Zones can be temporary disabled via the zone control module (if fitted) on the CIE front.

This reset cannot be used in the Australian or New Zealand conventions.
