II. Addressable Smoke Detector Sensitivity
Software Enhancement
The FACP software has been enhanced to include a feature which allows the control panel to monitor the sensitivity of each
addressable smoke detector in the system. This eliminates the need for a service person to physically connect a sensitivity test
meter to each device in the field.
Detector Data
An addressable smoke detector's ability to detect smoke can change over time as a result of component deterioration due to
environmental contaminants and dirt. Each addressable smoke detector's data (sensitivity) can be printed by entering Read Status
mode.

folder which is resident on most personal computers. Any settings which are configured in this feature must reflect the printer
settings detailed in the FACP manual. Refer to the Windows
