To set the in-suite signal silence elapse timer:
1. Press the Menu button and choose Programming.
2. Choose Panel Operation and enter the level 2
password.
3. For the Suite Sig Sil option, enter a value from 1 to
10 minutes (The default is 10). To disable in-suite
signal silence, set this option to Off.
This is a global option that sets the shutdown
period during which “in suite” evacuation signals
outside the alarm zone remain silenced.

Programming fast groups for sounder bases
For UL/ULC Listing, alarms are required to sound within 10 seconds after a fire is
detected. This can be difficult to achieve in large systems with hundreds of
sounders, unless the sounders are properly grouped.
To address this requirement, Edwards Signaling eFSA64 and eFSA250 systems
provide 25 high priority correlation groups per loop that can activate all sounders
simultaneously. These are:
• For panels with one loop only, the fast correlation groups are Groups 001 to
025
• For panels with two loops, the fast correlation groups are
Loop 1: groups 001 to 025
Loop 2: groups 001 to 025 or 101 to 125 (user configurable).
In dual loop systems, you can combine devices from loop 1 and 2 in correlation
groups 001 to 025, or you can separate them and use groups 101 to 125 for loop
2. See “Changing loop configuration options” on page 85.
For best performance use the fast correlation groups for bulk activations, such as
entire floors and save the slower correlation groups for small sets of activations
such as individual suites or hotel rooms.
Note: Be sure the Follow option for devices to be added is None, Alarm, Alarm
and Verify, or Alarm and Prealarm. Be sure the Follow option is not set to Head
or Riser. If you need to run a report to check the Follow option, see “Device
Details report” on page 189. If you need to change the Follow option, see
“Adding and removing devices from programmed systems” on page 73.
