12.1 Alarm Organization
12.1.1 Detection Zones with Different Properties
When handling events in Operation Mode, it is important to be aware
of how the alarm organization is configured, that is, the system’s
detection zone configuration.
The system provides the following types of detection zones with
different properties:
Immediate Action detection zone
Dependency Action detection zone
Delayed Action detection zone
Delayed Dependency detection zone
SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) detection zone
The property of a detection zone as well as the type of point
(detector or manual call point) will determine how the system
responds to the signal - with respect to
action
.
12.1.2 The Actioning of Alarm Zones
The actioning of alarm zones can be controlled by detection zones,
with or without Delay/Dependency properties.
For example, a detection zone in alarm can activate a number of
alarm zones. The delay period before activation can be defined
according to the property of the chosen detection zone type.
An alarm zone can give both an alarm signal and a neighbouring
alarm zone signal with a different pattern.
The top-level alarm zone (default) is called the Parent Alarm Zone. A
system consists of a Parent Alarm Zone, usually with several “sub-
level” alarm zones in an hierarchy. Each “sub level”-alarm zone is
related to a specific area of, for example, a building. If an alarm
occurs in a Parent Alarm Zone, all Fire Alarm Devices (FADs) within
this zone, plus all FADs belonging to all “sub-level”-alarm zones will
be activated.
