Operating Modes
There are 4 different heat detector modes that can be used. The A1S type should be used for systems that have been
designed to meet EN54 part 5. Although the A1R setting conforms to the specification it has not been 3rd party tested.
A1S As specified by EN54 part 5, A1S detectors are intended for use in applications where
the ambient temperature is typically around 25oC and not expected to exceed 50oC. A1S
detectors will not respond below their minimum static response temperature of 54oC,
regardless of a rapid change in ambient temperature.
A1R As specified by EN54 part 5, an A1R detector is a rate of rise detector with a fixed upper
limit of 57oC, at which the device will go into alarm if the rate of rise has been too slow
to trigger the alarm earlier.
Fixed Point The device will go into alarm once the temperature reaches this point. The user can
specify an alarm temperature from 50 –99oC.
Rate of Rise The device will go into alarm when it senses a rapid increase in temperature. The user
can choose from 3 levels of sensitivity. 0.5, 1.0 and 2C per minute. The unit will also
operate once 54oC has been exceeded.
Alarm Verify
Number of seconds that a D6000 needs to remain in alarm before it sends an alarm signal to the control panel.
Range: 1 to 20 seconds 2 seconds is the default (EN54 approved) setting.
Volume
The volume of the sounder is set when the device is programmed by the control panel. We would recommend that this is
left as its default maximum setting which conforms to EN54-3 as tested. When changing volume levels, the appropriate
sections of BS5839 should be considered.
4-High 80dB at 1m* This is the default setting (EN54 approved) setting.
3-Medium 75dB at 1m
2-Low 65dB at 1m
1-Quiet 35dB at 1m
0-Off 0dB
*This is the minimum recorded volume in all directions. Depending on orientation a maximum of 90dB can be achieved.
Area 1 and Area 2
The cause and effects can be configured to only sound a specific area or group of sounders. Each sounder device can be
programmed to two different areas, known as Area1 and Area2, which are both set to 101 by default. The default cause
and effects for detectors or inputs on the system are for any fire event to sound in all areas (area 000). Up to 240
different sound areas can be used on a Zerio Plus system.
For example a sounder in flat number 3 could be programmed to area 003, and the detector in the flat could be
configured to only sound an alert tone in area 003. A fire event in flat 3 would only sound in that flat, preventing
disruption to other residents of the building. A detector in a common stairwell could be configured to sound an evacuate
tone in area 000 (all areas) which would alert all residents immediately.
Output Timeout
This controls how long the device will sound before automatically silencing, in order to preserve battery life. Once the
sounder has automatically silenced, the panel will remain indicating the alarm and the panel buzzer will continue to
sound. Should another alarm condition occur then the sounder will resound. The output timeout can be set in multiples
of 30 minutes from 0 to 900 minutes. Setting the value at 0 will allow the unit to sound indefinitely.
