Master Programming Level
Style
To program the SLC Style for the selected loop, press 1 for Style, while viewing Loop Setup
Screen. In the preceding example, the control panel is programmed for Style 4 SLC wiring as indi-
cated by the 4 to the right of Style in the display. To change the wiring style, press 1 to toggle the
display to read Style 6. Each press of the 1 key will cause the display to toggle between Style 4 and
Style 6. Note that, when programming the Loop Style, the programmer can only select between
Style 4 and Style 6. To program a system for Style 7 wiring, the programmer must select the Loop
Setup for Style 6. Style 7 wiring is the same as Style 6 with the added requirement that each
addressable device on the loop must have a pair of isolator modules, one on each side.
Note on SLC Troubles: If the FACP reports an open fault on an SLC Loop programmed for Style
6, the trouble condition will latch at the FACP. When the SLC Loop has been repaired, the Reset
button must be pressed at the FACP (at least 2 minutes after the trouble has been repaired) to clear
the SLC trouble.

Loop Protocol

Loop Protocol refers to the SLC loop mode of operation. Refer to "Wire Requirements" on
page 168 for wire specifications based upon SLC protocol. Two modes of operation are available:
LiteSpeed and CLIP mode. CLIP mode (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) is used for the older leg-
acy addressable devices such as the M300 Series modules and detectors. LiteSpeed mode is used
for newer addressable devices such as the 350 series (or newer) for quicker response times. Note
that the legacy devices can operate only in CLIP mode while the newer devices are compatible with
both modes of operation. Pressing 3 while viewing the Loop Setup Screen will allow the program-
mer to select between CLIP and LiteSpeed mode. Each press of the 3 key will toggle the setting
between CLIP and LiteSpeed mode.
Device Addressing
It is important to note that the FACP addressable device capacity is 159 detectors and 159 con-
trol/monitor modules per SLC loop. Since older legacy addressable devices cannot be set to
addresses above 099, the newer series devices must be used when addresses 100 to 159 are to be
installed. It is permissible to mix old and new devices in the same panel, however, the FACP must
be programmed for CLIP mode.
3.6.5 System Setup
System Setup allows the programmer to configure the following control panel features:
Trouble Reminder: This feature, when enabled, provides an audible reminder that an alarm or
trouble still exists on the FACP after the control panel has been silenced. The control panel
piezo sounder will pulse once every 15 seconds during an alarm and every two minutes during
a trouble condition, after the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge key is pressed. The piezo will
continue to sound at these rates until the alarm or trouble condition is cleared. If the trouble
condition is not cleared within 24 hours, the panel will reactivate the trouble sounder and
retransmit the trouble condition to the central station if connected.
Banner: This option allows the user to change the top line of the LCD display from the blank
factory default readout to a user defined readout when the control panel is in Normal condition.
Time-Date: This feature allows the programmer to set the time, display format (24 hr or 12 hr),
date and daylight savings time feature into the FACP memory
Timers: This option allows the programmer to set the PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) time
delay, Pre-Signal time delay and Waterflow time delay.
NACs: This feature allows the programmer to configure the control panel Notification
Appliance Circuits for a variety of options, such as circuit type, silenceable/nonsilenceable,
autosilence, coding, silence inhibit, zone assignment and enable/disable.
Relays: This option allows programming of two onboard relays for activation by various
control panel events, such as alarm, trouble, supervisory, etc.
