Alarm Outputs Disablements
If ‘Alarm Outputs by Zone’ for ‘All Zones’ is selected at the
panel, the sounder circuits are included in the disablement.
Because the repeater does not receive information about
the sounder circuits, it displays a general message
‘SOUNDER CIRCUIT (all) Panel n’, in addition to the zone
message.
Disablements - detailed display
When a zone is disabled, the repeater is unable to display
details of the devices disabled within the zone, nor the
zone name. The device total will not be correct. This applies
both to the local panel and to remote panels.
Enablements by device
If a disabled zone on the panel to which the repeater is
connected is re-enabled by enabling every device
individually, the zone is then no longer displayed as
disabled. However, if the zone is on a remote panel it
continues to be displayed as disabled, because the
repeater does not receive information about devices on
these panels.
Delay Active
The repeater has a DELAY ACTIVE LED which illuminates
steady when the panel’s DELAYS ACTIVE LED is lit. If a
delay is in progress, the panel’s LED flashes and its LCD
shows a timer bar. The repeater does not receive this
progress information and its LED remains steady.
Walk Test
During a walk test, the repeater does not display untested
devices, nor the ‘Not Tested’ total. This applies both to the
local panel and to remote panels.
