AFP-3030 Programming Manual — P/N DOC-01-032:A 26/06/2015 99Appendix B: Special Zone OutputsB.1 Output Delay TimeB.1.1 What is Output Delay Time?PurposeOutput Delay Time is a feature that initially causes specific alarm signals to only sound in specificareas, monitored by qualified persons. This allows delay of the alarm up to 600 seconds after thestart of alarm processing.• A Output Delay Time (0:00 to 10:00 minutes; Default 1:00 minute) that delays activationof all outputs with a CBE that includes Special Zone ZF0. Note the following:–When enabled, the Delays On/Off LED of the keypad will be lit. Once the delay timerhas expired, a reset has occurred, or the delay function has been disabled using theDelays On/Off softkey of the keypad, the LED will extinguish.–A system reset will reset the timer until another alarm occurs activating Special FunctionZF0.–Signal Silence does not affect the activation of delayed outputs. Once the timer hasexpired, all delayed outputs will activate. Any subsequent Signal Silence will silence allsilenceable delayed outputs.An illustration of Output Delay timing.Figure B.1 Output Delay TimeThe control panel delays activation of outputs containing ZF0 in their zone maps for all alarminitiating devices that contain ZF0 in their CBE list. A subsequent alarm will abort the OutputDelay Time and execute CBE lists.Notes on using ZF0• The Output Delay Time countdown can be stopped by pressing the SYSTEM RESET keybefore the timer expires or pressing the Delays On/Off softkey.• Program zone ZF0 to participating inputs and outputs. The Output Delay Time will notdelay activation of zones programmed to delayed outputs.• The Output Delay Time only operates when activated from initiating devices that containZF0 in their CBE list.Restrictions on using ZF0• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for a releasing device.• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for any monitor module that connects to a device otherthan an automatic fire detector.• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list of any modules used with Smoke Control.• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for a Manual Call Point device when programming thepanel for compliance with AS7240.2.Initial alarmannunciation Alarm activates outputs, if thecontrol panel is not resetOutput Delay Timer (0-600 s)
