Mass Notification Operation

4.10 Mass Notification Operation
The FACP may be installed with an ECC-50/100 audio system to provide mass notification opera-
tion. The FACP must control the ECC-50/100 via the ANN-BUS. Refer to "Automatic Audio Panel
Control" on page 59 for details and wiring information.
Some mass notification installations may require that the activation of the audio system results in
an override of an active fire notification at the FACP. This is determined by a risk assessment in
accordance with the local AHJ. The FACP provides the flexibility to accommodate override or non-
override operation. For override operation, FACP NACs and/or other SLC control modules may be
deactivated while the mass notification event is active. No other FACP operation is overridden or
interrupted. If override operation has been selected, notification for a fire event will resume upon
termination of the mass notification event at the audio system.
When mass notification override is enabled, mass notification alarms will result in a mass notifica-
tion event being sent to the central station. An event code can also be sent indicating which mes-
sage is playing on the audio system. Message event code transmission must be enabled in
programming.
Refer to page 101 for programming mass notification override at the system level.
Refer to page 87 for programming mass notification override for SLC control modules.
Refer to page 99 for programming mass notification override for onboard NACs.
Refer to the DACT-UD2 Manual for programming message event code transmission to the central
station.

4.11 Programmed Zone Operation

Each addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of five software
alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control) points, but it is not neces-
sary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zone for all alarm input devices. Zone Z00
is also activated by supervisory points.
When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zones assigned to it. An
output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of the software zones to which it is pro-
grammed become active.

4.12 Disable/Enable Operation

Input points which are disabled do not cause an alarm or any zone activation. Disabled output
points are held in the off state. All disabled points are treated as if they were in trouble, with the
exception being the status label that will be displayed is DISABL.

4.13 Waterflow Circuits Operation

If an alarm exists from a monitor module point that has a waterflow type code and its mapped NAC
control module outputs are programmed for nonsilenceable operation, the Alarm Silence key will
not function.

4.14 Detector Functions

Maintenance Alert
Each addressable detector is monitored by the control panel for its maintenance status. If a detector
is near but below the allowed alarm limit, a 'maintenance alert' message will automatically be dis-
played, signaling that the detector is in need of servicing.
