How can I customize interruption and confirmation periods on the Siemens RC-30U Confirmation Module?

Customizing the interruption and confirmation periods on your Siemens RC-30U Confirmation Module allows you to fine-tune its performance to fit your specific needs. Here's how you can adjust these settings:

Interruption Period Adjustment: The interruption period determines how long the module delays transmitting an alarm signal to the system's control panel. The factory default setting is 20 seconds, but you can set it anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds. To change it:

1. Locate the adjustment feature on the module specifically for the interruption period.
2. Use the tool or method described in the RC-30U Confirmation Module Instruction Manual to set your desired duration within the 1-60 second range.

Confirmation Period Adjustment: The confirmation period follows the interruption period and defines how long a subsequent alarm signal will be sent to the control panel. While the factory setting is approximately 1 minute, it's actually linked to the interruption cycle's duration. To adjust the confirmation period:

1. Understand that the confirmation period is a multiple of your interruption cycle duration.
2. If necessary, first adjust the interruption period, as the confirmation period depends on its setting.
3. The confirmation period generally begins immediately after the interruption period concludes. Tailor both periods to optimize your system's alarm management.
