Evacuation Signal - A distinctive signal intended to be recognized by the
occupants as requiring evacuation of the building.
FACP - Fire Alarm Control Panel. A system component that receives input from
automatic and manual fire alarm devices and may supply power to detection
devices and transponders or off-premises transmitters. The control panel may also
provide transfer of power to the notification appliances and transfer of conditions
to relays or devices connected to the control panel. The FACP can be a local fire
alarm control panel or a master control panel.
Fire/Supervisory - An IDC point type that is zone selectable. This point type will
initiate a "Supervisory Abnormal" condition at the FACP if a current limited state
is detected.
Form C Contacts - A relay or switch configuration that provides access to both
normally open and normally closed dry contacts.
Hardware Device Type - The Hardware Device Type is assigned to each point in
an 4010 system. The Hardware Device was formerly known as Device Type. Valid
Hardware Device Types include the Addressable Detector Base, Line Powered
IAM, TrueAlarm Photoelectric Detector and other types of hardware that are
assigned as points in the system. Each hardware device type is assigned a software
point type (formerly point type) that defines system operation regarding that point.
There are specific software point types that can be assigned to each hardware
device type in the system.
Heat Detector - A device that detects abnormally high temperature or rate of
temperature rise.
Initiating Device - A system component that originates transmission of a change
of state condition, such as a smoke detector, manual fire alarm box, supervisory

device operated.
