ALARM VERIFICATION
Refer to Section 3.4.1 for a complete description of the Alarm Verification feature.
When a detector or input module configured for alarm verification activates, the control panel initiates an
alarm verification time delay (0-60 seconds for detectors and 2 seconds for waterflow input) and does the
following:
1. LED on active device will turn on (RED) to indicate its activated status.
2. Sends Alarm Verification message to network panels, remote displays, history buffer, printers, and
PC monitoring stations.
3. Associated system outputs (notification and control) will activate if programmed for specific Zone and
State of activated device (defaulted off).
4. Displays Alarm Verification event on the LCD display as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
