Page 101: Device Programming
Chapter 2: Front panel programming Device programming Each device that operates on a notification appliance circuit (NAC) or device loop has operating parameters that must be set. This includes assigning a device type and label, programming event notification, etc. Note: Addressable devices are programmed by entering the address of the device to be programmed, then setting the device options.
Page 102 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Option Description Event notification Sets notification options (printer, coder, dialer, and contact ID) for the active, alarm verify, disable, maintenance, prealarm, test, trouble, and active3 for secondary events. See on page 49. See “Factory default settings” on page 42 for device event notification default settings. 1.
Page 103 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Option Description Night prealarm% Set the nighttime prealarm percentage to Off or 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 90 percent. This is the amount of smoke that indicates a prealarm event before an actual alarm event is indicated.

Page 108 Chapter 2: Front panel programming 5. Select either Class A or Class B. 6. Choose Save. 7. Press the Menu button to exit menu mode, or continue programming. Mapping loop device circuits To use mapping, you must enable it for each loop in the system. Mapping a device data circuit provides useful information about the circuit that can be used for troubleshooting or documenting the electrical positions of devices in the system when used in conjunction with a PC running the configuration utility (CU).
Page 109 Chapter 2: Front panel programming There are several reasons why the maps may not match. For example, if you just enabled mapping, the panel maps the devices in the system and stores the map in panel RAM, but because there is no map in the panel database, you get a map mismatch. Saving the map in the panel database synchronizes the two maps and removes the map fault from the system.
Page 110 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Using the configuration utility to map the system If mapping is enabled, you may have a discrepancy between the map that was downloaded to the panel from the configuration utility and the map that resides in the control panel RAM. If the two maps do not match, the system generates a map mismatch event.
Page 111 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Option Description Waterflow: Activates alarm events when a waterflow switch closes. Select this zone type when the devices in the zone are only connected to waterflow switches. Note: Do not mix device and zone types. For example, do not place a nonlatching supervisory device in an alarm zone.
Page 112 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Panel programming The panel options to be configured include: • NAC circuits (“NACs”) • Printer • Annunciator class • IP address (“IP”) • Annunciator • Subnet mask (“MSK”) • Dialer and network (“CMS device”) • Gateway (“GWY”) Most options have a factory default setting that you can accept or change.
Page 113 Chapter 2: Front panel programming Option Description Genesis (nonsilenceable or with audible silence or with audible/visible silence): For Genesis horns and strobes and Enhanced Integrity strobes. Genesis and Enhanced Integrity appliances maintain synchronization per UL 1971. When using Genesis or Enhanced Integrity notification appliances, you must select one of the Genesis NAC types for proper system-wide strobe synchronization.

Press Enter to toggle the group’s status. • “Included” adds the item to the group. • “Excluded” removes the item from the group When you have finished, choose Exit. A correlation group is a collection of addressable input devices (detectors and input modules) and output devices (panel NACs, NAC modules, relay modules, sounder and relay bases).

Page 204: Notification Appliance Circuit Calculations Worksheet
Appendix B: Worksheets Notification appliance circuit calculations worksheet Introduction This topic shows you how to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit (NAC) for a given number of appliances. Two methods are presented: worksheet and equation. The worksheet method is simpler, but your installation must meet the criteria listed on the worksheet.
Page 205 Appendix B: Worksheets The power type reflects the type of power supplied to the NAC terminals at minimum voltage. The current draw of notification appliances can vary substantially with the type of power supplied: full-wave rectified (VFWR) or regulated and filtered DC (R&F). It is important to know the power type at minimum terminal voltage.
Page 206 Appendix B: Worksheets Worksheet method Use this worksheet to determine the maximum cable length of a notification appliance circuit for a given number of appliances. Use this worksheet only if all the appliances are regulated. That is, they must have a minimum operating voltage of 16 V.
Page 207 Appendix B: Worksheets Equation method Appliance operating voltage and current Regulated notification appliances have an operating range from 16 V to 33 V. Use 16 V as the minimum appliance voltage when using regulated notification appliances. When using special application notification appliances, refer to the installation sheets to determine the minimum appliance voltage required.
Page 208 Appendix B: Worksheets Refer to the appliance installation sheets for Ia. Remember to use the maximum operating current specified for FWR power. 2. Calculate the minimum voltage (Vm). Vm = Vs − (Itot × K) Where: Vs = source voltage Itot = total current (from above) K = load factor VS1 panel:...

Page 257: Appendix E Releasing Module
Appendix E Releasing Module Summary The REL is an analog addressable device that communicates directly with the fire alarm panel’s Signature loop controller. The REL controls sprinkler, pre-action, and deluge systems, and may also be used to release extinguishing agents, such as CO2, Halon, or foam. The REL offers a wide range of options that ensures dependable service while preventing the unnecessary release of extinguishing agents.
Page 258 Appendix E: Releasing Module Figure 62: REL releasing module Do’s and don’ts Use the following do’s and don’ts when configuring and using a REL module and panel events. • Configure the REL through the CU. Do not use the front panel to program the REL to perform auto programming, incremental programming, adding REL devices to a correlation group, and correlation group copy.
Page 259 Appendix E: Releasing Module • Don’t configure Disable members using the User key for correlation groups with panel events. • Install a relay confirmation circuit to indicate when the release and prerelease circuits are active. • Don’t power the REL from the panel. You must power the REL using a compatible power supply.
