7.4 Setup System - Setup Common Alarm
The audible alarm sounds after the AC4 detects an alarm condition in any input that has been
defined as alarmable. Once the alarm is silenced, there are two options:
• By default, the common alarm remains energized until all input alarms are cleared.
• You may change this setting to de-energize the common alarm automatically once the alarm is
silenced.
You might want to reset the common alarm with silence if an external alarm—for example, a horn—is
connected to the common alarm output contacts.
You might not want to reset the common alarm contacts (let contacts reflect/track alarms) and simply
silence the audible horn.
