Editing Alarm Groups

Alarm groups allow you to program selective signaling.
Assign the IDC an alarm group number from 1 to 99. Assign
the same alarm group number to the notification appliances
that you want to turn on when one of the IDCs in the alarm
group activates. Each IDC can be in up to three groups.
1. Follow the steps in "Accessing Menus". Make sure to
choose IDC as the type of device to program.
<ENTER>=Accept
Prg: [IDC]
2. Press <ENTER>. Use the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys
to choose EDIT, and then press <ENTER>. Use
<NEXT> and <PREV> keys to choose the circuit
(IDC1, IDC2, etc.) to program.

Programming NACs

Use the following procedure to edit the programming of the
two Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) on the base
panel, or the two optional NACs on the expansion power
supply. NACs cannot be added or deleted - only edited.
Note: If the panel is using an Expansion Power Supply, set
the EXP POWER system option to ON before programming
NACs.
NAC editing provides the following options:
• Edit Function, which defines the following for a NAC:
- When the NAC activates and deactivates.
- The "output method" used by the NAC when it
activates (coded, steady, etc.).
• Alarm Group
• Edit Point Label
• Clear Point Label

Setting NAC Function Type

The Function Type determines the way in which the NAC
operates (whether it is an audible, visual, etc.) and its output
method (steady, etc.)
1. Follow the steps in "Accessing Menus". Make sure to
choose NAC as the type of device to program
<ENTER>=Accept
Prg: [NAC]
2. Press <ENTER>, and then use <NEXT> and <PREV>
keys to choose the circuit (NAC1, NAC2, NAC3, or
NAC4) to program.

3. Press <ENTER> when the appropriate NAC is dis-
played. A prompt appears, asking you to specify the
function type.

4. Press <ENTER>. As shown in the example below, the
NAC function type is comprised of two parts -- the
