FA2000C Installation and Setup Guide

Menu Mode Programming

The Menu Mode is an interactive mode through which much of the system's programming is done. In this mode, there
are "question and answer" prompts. These prompts require a 2-line alpha keypad (FA570KP).
Menu Mode Programming Key Commands
The following is a list of commands used while in Menu Mode Programming.

Zone Response Type Definitions

Each zone must be assigned a zone type, which defines
the way in which the system responds to faults in that
zone. Zone types are defined below.
Type 00: Zone Not Used
Program with this zone type if the zone is not used.
Type 06: 24-Hour Silent Alarm (DO NOT USE)
Sends a report to the central station but provides no
keypad display or sounding. Assign this zone type to a
zone containing an Emergency button.
Type 07: 24-Hour Audible Alarm (DO NOT USE)
Sends a report to the central station and provides an
alarm sound at the keypad and an audible external
alarm. Assign this zone type to a zone containing an
Emergency button.
Type 08: 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm (DO NOT USE)
Sends a report to central station and provides an alarm
sound at the keypad only. (No other Notification
Appliance Circuit is activated.) Assign this zone type to
a zone an Emergency button or one containing
monitoring devices such as water sensors or
temperature sensors.
Type 09: Supervised Fire (Without Verification)
Provides a fire alarm on a short circuit and a trouble
condition on open circuit. A fire alarm produces a
pulsing of the Notification Appliance Circuit. A zone of
this type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

Type 16: Fire With Verification
Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble
condition on open circuit. An initial short causes 7-
second smoke detector power reset. Any subsequent
short within 90 seconds causes a fire alarm. A fire
alarm produces a pulsing of the Notification Appliance
Circuit. This type is always active and can only be
bypassed by the Installer Code.
Type 17: Fire Waterflow
Provides a trouble condition (field 32=0) or a
supervisory condition (field 32=1) on open circuit and
an alarm on a short circuit that remains longer than
the programmed time delay (field 78). The alarm can
be silenced by either an entry of User Code + [OFF] or
when the zone restores (field 76). This type is always
active.
Type 18: Fire Supervisory
Provides a supervisory response on a short circuit.
Open circuit can be programmed for either a trouble or
supervisory response (field 32). The zone must be
shorted or open longer than the programmed delay time
(field 78) when the delay is enabled (field 57). This
type is always active and can only be bypassed by the
Installer Code. No bell output is activated. This zone
type is usually assigned to a zone containing fire
sprinkler supervisory sensors such as Post-Indicator-
Value sensors.
Type 19: 24-Hour Trouble
Provides a trouble response on a short or open circuit.
No alarm sounders are activated.
