AFP-3030 Operations Manual — P/N DOC-01-033:C 05/12/2018 33Operation of Special System Timers, and Output Delay Time Operation of the Control PanelSilence Inhibit TimerThis timer disables the SIGNAL RESOUND ALARM and RESET key function for the programmed time (MM:SS seconds) when a firealarm occurs. A Silence Inhibit Timer starts at the first fire alarm. A panel reset is required to re-enable this timer. It can be set with avalue from 0 (the timer is disabled) to 5 minutes.Auto Silence TimerThis timer functions like pressing the SIGNAL RESOUND ALARM key. When the Auto Silence Timer reaches its programmed value(0, 10 minutes, 15 or 20 minutes, with the setting = 20 for Canadian installations), the control panel automatically shuts off all active out-puts programmed as silenceable.2.13.2 Output Delay TimeOutput Delay Time is a feature that initially delays activation of outputs with ZF0 in their zone map until the Output Delay Timer hasexpired. This feature allows for the initial sounding of outputs only in specific areas, monitored by qualified personnel. To participate inOutput Delay Time, inputs and outputs must include Special Zone ZF0 in their zone map. The Output delay Timer is programmed to avalue from 60 to 180 seconds.How the Panel Indicates a Output DelayWhen an initiating device participating in Output Delay goes into alarm, the panel LCD displays a fire alarm message. (Refer toSection 2.2, “Fire Alarm Event”, on page 17.) If a second alarm occurs while the Output Delay timer is counting down, the control panelaborts the Output Delay timer countdown and activates all programmed outputs. The fire alarm LED flashes and the panel sounderpulses a steady tone. The control panel latches until the alarm is corrected and the SYSTEM RESET key is pressed to reset the panel.How to Respond to a Output Delay AlarmOnce the Output Delay timer has begun counting down, the operator has the duration of the countdown time to respond to the alarmbefore the control panel automatically activates all outputs with ZF0 in their zone map and CBE linkage to the alarm. The operator canreset the panel if the alarm is determined false.
