8.0 Bell 

The prompts in this group configure the Alarm Output 
(bell) at Terminals 4 and 5. 

Default: 

6 

Selection:  0 to 255

 

The 

Bell Time

 prompt sets the minutes of alarm 

output at terminals 4 and 5. Both Fire Bell function 
(pulsed output) and the Burglary Bell function (steady 
output) follow the 

Bell Time

 duration. 

Enter the number of minutes of alarm output at 
Terminals 4 and 5 for both Fire and Burglary (Non-
Fire) functions. If you are using the 

Alarm on 2 Fail

 

feature, program at least 3 minutes in 

Bell Time

. 

Refer to below. 

 

 

Check with your Authority Having 
Jurisdiction (AHJ) to determine the 
appropriate Bell Time for your installation. 
Many communities restrict bell time. 

Default: 

No

 

Selection:  Yes, No

 

0 No

 

1 Yes 

If you set the 

Bell Test

 prompt to Yes, the system 

sounds the bell for 2 seconds when users turn the 
system All On by pressing the [9] key. 

If the system sends Closing Reports, the bell sounds 
when the receiver acknowledges the Closing Report. If 
the system does not send Closing Reports, the bell 
sounds at the expiration of Exit Delay. 

Default: 

No

 

Selection:  Yes, No

 

0 No

 

1 Yes 

Set the 

Single Ring

 prompt to Yes to limit the alarm 

output from the same Non-Fire point to one per 
arming cycle. Setting this prompt to No allows every 
alarm activation from a Non-Fire point to generate an 
alarm output during an arming cycle. 

Fire points always provide alarm output for every 
alarm activation. 

Single Ring

 only affects the 

alarm output. It does not prevent reports from 
being sent. 

Default: 

No

 

Selection:  Yes, No

 

0 No

 

1 Yes 

Setting the 

Alarm on 2 Fail

 prompt to Yes 

provides an alarm output after two failed attempts 
to transmit an Alarm Report from any point when 
the system is on. Alarm output is provided even if 
the point is not programmed for alarm output. 

Bell Time

 must be programmed with at least 3 

minutes to use the 

Alarm on 2 Fail 

feature. 

Set this prompt to No if you want to prevent an 
alarm output from Silent points even when the 
system fails to communicate with the receiver. 

Refer to Section 11.0 Point Codes for information on 
programming points for alarm output.
