I have an Elk M1 Gold security panel and have two GE wireless smoke detectors installed. In the Elk M1 Gold installation manual it list 3 fire zone definitions.
10 Fire 24 hr Alarm - Intended for Fire alarm sensors such as smoke detectors, heat stats, pull stations, etc.
Activates an immediate Fire alarm upon a short across the zone wires. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open
(break in the zone wires) should occur.
11 Fire 24 hr .Verified. - For smoke detectors in high-risk false alarm areas. Upon initial activation (short across the
zone), the control ignores the alarm and removes smoke power for 5 seconds to reset the detectors. During this 5
seconds, and for 20 additional seconds afterwards, no alarms will be recognized from this zone. Following this is
a 60 second verification time window, during which any additional activation will be regarded as verification of the
initial alarm and the control will initiate a Fire Alarm. If the 60 seconds expires with no further activations, the entire
process is cleared (reset). A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open (break in the zone wires) occurs.
12 Fire 24 hr Supervisory - Intended for monitoring water control valves on fire sprinkler systems. Same as Fire 24hr
except that a short across the zone activates a Fire Supervisory alarm. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open
I believe I want to use zone definition "10" but not sure what the difference between "10 and "12-Fire 24 hr Supervisory"
I just want to be sure that my alarm is activated when either smoke detector becomes unsecure whether armed or unarmed.
Thanks for your help on this.
