Activating and restoring panel NACs

Activating a notification appliance circuit (NAC) turns on its outputs. Restoring the
NAC turns them off again. This is typically done for testing purposes.
Note: Disabled NACs must be manually enabled and then restored. See "Disabling
and enabling devices" below.
To activate a panel NAC:
1. Press the menu button and choose Control.
2. Enter a level one password.
3. Choose Activate/Restore.
4. Choose Panel NAC.
5. Select the NAC that you want to activate.
6. Press Enter.
7. Press Cancel to return to the previous menu.

Press the Menu button to exit menu mode.
Notes
• Disabled devices must be manually enabled and then restored. See "Disabling
and enabling devices" below.
• Latched output devices must be manually unlatched and then restored. See
"Unlatching latched output device" on page 155.

Disabling and enabling devices

Disabling a device does not prevent it from activating, but does prevent event
messages originating from the device from being displayed, printed, or reported off-
premises. Devices are typically disabled during maintenance. Remember to re-enable
the device as soon as you have finished working with it.
