Sound delay

This is an option for setting a delay on the Sounders activation when the panel enters "Fire" mode.
The indication on the front panel - the FIRE LED, however, will light up immediately in case of a
fire event, regardless of whether a delay has been set to enable the sounders.
After the programmed delay period expires, during which the user can possibly find out the cause
for the alarm event, the panel enables the sounders.
The sounders can be silenced by pressing [ Silence Alarms ] on the front panel.
In case of a false fire alarm the user must press the [ Reset ] to return to normal working mode.
In order to program DCC 8 plus for Sounder Delay over an interval between 1 and
10 minutes:
• Examine the Table of Instructions for programming sounder delay, shown below.
• Depending on the selected time delay, set a jumper at the TIME DELAY terminals,
marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the main board.
• Press [ Reset ] to introduce changes.
Example: In order to program sounder delay of 5 minutes, set jumpers on positions 1 and 3.
9.3

Double Action Mode

The purpose of introducing a DOUBLE Action mode is to avoid false alarms. Where DCC 8plus has
been programmed to function in this mode, in the case of a fire signal, the panel does not alarm at
once but waits for the alarm event to be repeated within 3 minutes.
Setting up the „Double Action Mode":
•
Place the jumper „Double" on the main board
•
Press [ Reset ] to introduce changes.
9.4

Instant Action Mode

Alarm from manual call points must activate the sounders immediately.
If you program a "Double Action Mode" or a "Time Delay" then this also takes affect to the
sounder zones. To avoid this you can set selected detector zones into "Instant Action Mode".
Alarm messages from these zone will immediately sound the sirens.
Setting up the „Instant Action Mode":
•
Place the jumper to the selected detector zone on the "4 Zone Expander" board.
•
Press [ Reset ] to introduce changes.
