Re: COMM failed status of Fire Alarm 8000 series



if your customer really need the function,the fact of wear on a relay is
very acceptable,but is there a way to us a zone that will not make the panel
go into alarm or trouble(like a technical zone),and the zone would be
trigged by a timer relay and this will work for years,I use that as a way to
monitor some communication status in a kantech access control system,and the
relay been working for the last 6 year

Hi Petem,

I can try to make the alarm panel sends an event on a regular basis
like what you mentioned but it's not feasible. What we thought of was
trigerring an relay in ON-OFF cycles periodically. This may wear the
relays out in long term as our system runs for years.

For your info, the fire alarm will just send data to my PC everytime a
state changes. For eg, if a fault occurs, the alarm will just send a
data related to that fault to my PC and that's it until the fault is
cleared or some other events occur.

cant you try to make the alarm panel send an event on a regular basis
like
every minute?

this would be considered as a keep alive event and the lack of it after a
set amount of time would create the trouble you need?
