Programmable Features
Settings
1. Integral Sounder Tones: DIL Switch No SW1 - SW3
The Alert Point has seven different selectable alarm tones ranging from
95 dB to 102 dB, along with a prefixed tamper tone.
2. External Power Provided (12-30 VDC): DIL Switch No SW4
This setting allows the unit to be run from an external
power source.
3. Relay Setting: DIL Switch No SW5
When part of a network, this setting allows the option of sending a triggering
signal via the relay to an alarm panel, either:
• Relay is only triggered on the activated unit
• Relay sends triggering signal even when another unit is activated.
4. External Sounder/Strobe Trigger: DIL Switch No SW6
This setting allows the option of sending a triggering signal to externally fitted
sounders, along with strobes/beacons.
5. Internal & External Sounder Timer Options: DIL Switch No SW7 & SW8
4 alarm durations are available and can be selected by changing the DIL switch
settings. These are: continuous, 30 seconds, 3 minutes and 20 minutes.
If any duration period other than `continuous’ is used, the alarm will silence after the
selected time has elapsed. The LED will continue to flash red until the unit is reset using the reset key.
6. External Strobe Timer Options: DIL Switch No SW9 & SW10
4 strobe durations are available and can be selected by changing the DIL switch
settings. These are: continuous, 30 seconds, 3 minutes and 20 minutes.
If any duration period other than ‘continuous’ is used, the strobe will cease flashing. The Alert
Point will still need to be reset, the LED will still flash red until this has been done.
7. Key Switch – Manual or Auto Reset: DIL Switch No SW11
This allows the user greater control if misuse becomes a major factor.
Auto reset: The Alert Point will fully reset after activation when using the reset key.
Manual: Even if the Alert Point is reset after activation using the reset key, all
sounders and strobes will continue to run until the unit is reset using the master
key switch.
8. Networking the Alert: DIL Switch No SW12
If this switch is ‘ON’ the Alert Point expects to be connected to another Alert
Point otherwise a fault is indicated. If the switch is ‘OFF’ the Alert Point will not
expect to be connected to another Alert Point.
