EDA-T5100 Zerio Plus Radio Silence Alarm Button

Summary

The Alarm Silence Button brings more flexibility to the operation of the already sophisticated Zerio Plus fire alarm system. The units, usually installed in individual flats, are designed to be used in conjunction with the Zerio Plus HMO programming mode. If the system detects smoke or heat in a flat then the sounders in the flat would automatically sound and a warning displayed on the control panel. If the activation has been caused by the occupant of the flat, he would normally have to go the control panel, but in order to silence the sounders he can now silence the alarm from his own flat. This results in the sounders being silenced and the panel being reset. As it is likely that there is still smoke or heat in the vicinity of the flat, then the devices in the flat are isolated for a pre-programmed period of time. This gives plenty of opportunity to clear the area of the smoke.

If after this time, the device is still detecting smoke then the process will repeat. If the panel displays the warning but the silence button is not activated, then the system will evacuate the building after another pre-programmed period of time. The system has the flexibility so that devices programmed into communal areas can either be programmed to evacuate the entire building or just the communal areas.

This unit is the latest development from a company which has over 30 years of designing and manufacturing radio fire alarm systems and has used the same principle for silence buttons in the highly successful Millennium and Zerio ranges.
