Device option Description
Follow This option controls the conditions that activate the relay or sounder detector
base.
Note: All base follow settings except Head and Riser can be activated by
correlation groups.
Select from the following values.
Head: The base is controlled by the detector’s settings:
• The base activates when the detector goes into alarm, unless the detector is
set for alarm verification.
• If the detector is set for alarm verification, the base activates when the
detector goes into alarm verification. It does not restore, however, until the
alarm restores.
• The base does not respond when the detector goes into prealarm no matter
how the detector is configured. Also, the base only follows the primary
element of a dual element detector. Any activation from a secondary
element does not trigger the base.
• Devices with the base set to follow Head cannot be placed in correlation
groups. When a device base is set to follow Head, the base is removed as
an output from any correlation groups to which it belongs.
Alarm: The base activates its relay when the detector goes into alarm. The base
does not restore until the alarm event has been restored.
Alarm and verify (ALM+VFY): The base activates its relay when the detector
goes into alarm verify and continues when the detector goes into alarm. The
base does not restore until both events have been restored.
Alarm and prealarm (ALM+PALM): The base activates its relay when the
detector goes into prealarm and continues when the detector goes into an alarm.
The base does not restore until both events have been restored.
Riser: The base is triggered individually by the loop controller (sounder bases
only).
None: A correlation group triggers the base. This can be applied to both relay
and sounder bases and is used for relay bases configured as latched output
devices.
Type Select the device type based on the type of device you are programming.
Note: All possible device types are listed below. Available device types are
determined by marketplace, however, so all device types listed here may not be
listed for the device you are programming.
