4.2.5 Read Status
The Read Status menu option provides the user with status information about devices and modules attached to a remote node. It is for use
across a network only. If an NCA-2 is used to perform a read status on itself, only ACS point status is valid.
To display status for a device, select Read Status from the main menu, then enter the device's address in the Point field and press Accept.
If no event is present, the default format will be that of a detector (see Figure 4.12 on page 46). If there is an acknowledged event in the
display area, that address will be the default. This allows the user quick access to the point being displayed.
Selecting a point is a two-step process:
1. You must first choose the device type, which is shown in parentheses. Scroll through device types by pressing the soft key
corresponding to the POINT SELECT field.
2. Once you have the device type selected, enter the device address in the NxxxLyyDzzz address field.
After you have set all parameters, press the ACCEPT soft key to accept or <ESC> to cancel the request. Once the NCA-2 reads the point,
it will display the Read Status screen (see Figure 4.13).
Following are the possible types from which to choose, depending on your control panel.
• Detector - i.e., smoke or heat detection.
• Module - Used for monitoring and controlling devices, SLC loops.
• Panel circuit - For direct monitoring and controlling.
• Bell circuit (NAC) - Fire panel control outputs for horns, sirens, and similar devices.
(Not available to NFS2-3030.)
• Zone - A group of points.
• Logic zone - A zone based on an equation. (Available to NFS-320, NFS2-640, and NFS2-3030.) Logic Zone format is ZLxxxx,
where xxxx = 0001 - 2000.
• ACS Point - A point associated with any ACS annunciator point
(Available to NFS2-3030 and NCA-2.)
• PAM point - A Prioritized Audio Matrix (PAM) point (the programmed address of the intersection between an audio input and
output in the PAM) in a DVC or DVC-EM - refer to the DVC manual for more information). The format is NxxxIyyyyAzzSn,
where xxx = the DVC-EM node number, yyyy = the audio input number, zz = the DAA address on the Digital Audio Loop (01
through 32), and n = the DAA speaker circuit (1 through 4).
• Release zone - Used to release chemicals to aid in fire suppression. (Available to NFS-320, NFS2-640 and NFS2-3030)
• Special Zone - Special zones as provided by particular fire alarm control panels
• Trouble Zone - Zone based on an equation that includes a system trouble. (Available to NFS2-3030.)
• DAA SPEAKER CKT - ADAA digital audio amplifier speaker circuit point. The format is NxxxAyySn, where xxx = the DVC-EM
(Digital Voice Command) node number, yy = the DAA address on the Digital Audio Loop (01 through 32), and n = the speaker
circuit (1 through 4).
