Interval for repeating alarms
Use the “Interval for repeating alarms” parameter to specify the interval with which the device will generate
similar
alarms and transmit them to the receiver. The alarms are considered
similar
if they are originated in the same
wired zone or were transmitted by the same wireless detector.
The value of the “Interval for repeating alarms” parameter is used for zones of all
, with the exception of zones
of the “Fire” and “Panic button without fixation” type. The alarm repetition interval for zones with the “Panic
button without fixation” type is always 5 seconds, and the alarm repetition interval for zones of the “Fire” type is
set by a separate parameter (see below).
Why is this parameter necessary? First of all, to reduce the number of events that will be transmitted
to the repeater: one alarm event can be quite enough for the operator to start handling the site alarm.
Repeated alarm on the same zone, as a rule, will not change anything. If the device detects an alarm in
another zone, then such an alarm will be transmitted to the repeater and a countdown of its own alarm
repetition interval will begin for this zone.
If the “Interval for repeating alarms” parameter is set to any numerical value, the device will generate events on a
specific zone as follows:
∙
if an alarm is detected in the zone, an alarm event will be generated and the count of the specified interval
will start;
∙
if an alarm reset is detected in the zone, a reset event will be generated, the count of the specified interval
will be continued;
∙
in case of repeated alarm generation or reset in the zone, events will not be generated until the count of the
specified interval is completed.
Numerical value means that only one alarm and one zone reset will be transmitted during the interval.
If the “Interval for repeating alarms” parameter is set to “Do not repeat” value, the device will generate events on
a specific zone as follows:
∙
if an alarm is detected in the zone, an alarm event will be generated and the waiting of the zone alarm reset
start;
∙
repeated events about the alarm in the zone
will not
be generated until an event about the alarm reset is
generated on the zone;
∙
if an alarm reset is detected in the zone, a reset event will be generated, the alarm reset waiting in the zone
will be terminated, the device will generate an alarm event in the zone again when it is detected.
