sixwheeledbeast Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They work really well straight out of the box actually. It's a bit odd having part conventional, part addressable devices all over the show. You can only hush 3 times IIRC, then panel is triggered.

MrHappy Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Am I being thick? Why would you want to silence a fire alarm sounder in a flat? devices in flat controlled by push to hush, gives the occupier the chance to control local false alarm before full building goes into evac Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I see, it's like a suppression so that you can investigate the reason for the trigger in your own flat before having everyone out.

I thought it hushed a fire alarm already in evac, that's what I couldn't understand. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than that Aico stuff though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I thought it hushed a fire alarm already in evac, that's what I couldn't understand. The Hush button takes two address spaces on the main panel (one for detection, one for sounder). Detection/sounders connected to the button are conventional. If these are triggered only the sounders connected to the local hush button sound. If the smoke clears the hush button silences the alarm, if not the hush button triggers the addressable zone. This evac's the whole building or multiple panels if networked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I see the logic. Not sure if it works in practice with the average tenant? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
