Function Type Selector
The Function Type Selector is used to display and edit the function of the current input point. The
following function types are available:
•
•
•

Message
The Message is located in the middle of the top of the window. This 3 line by 20 character text
message is displayed or printed for all signals originating from the current input point. Circuit types
that use devices have a default message created for them when defined. This message can be
changed.
Use Grp Message
The Use Grp Msg check box is used if the input point is to use a group message. A text entry box
appears when the box is checked. Enter the ID of the group message to be used. Only one ID can
be entered. If a group message is being used, it is displayed in the Message area, but the
message cannot be altered.
Input Circuit or Device Options
There are a number of options that can be used for each input circuit or device. Not all options
apply to all inputs. NP only shows those options that are currently usable. The following options
are available:

Alarm: This is a generic fire input. Displays **ALARM** in the Alarm List when activated.
Pull Station: This is a fire input similar to Alarm. The differences are it displays **PULL
STATION** in the Alarm List and may not have a retard time programmed.
Waterflow: This is a fire input similar to Alarm except that it displays **WATERFLOW** in
the Alarm List. Bell circuits can be made non-silenceable for waterflow type inputs (see
section 2.3 System Window).
Supervisory: This is used for such inputs as Low Water Pressure, Sprinkler Shut Off
Valve Closed, etc.
Halt: This causes the related releaser outputs to not operate. The supervisory LED will be
turned on by activation of this type of input.
Abort: This causes the related releaser outputs to have their associated timers to be
stopped. The timers will start to run again when the input goes back to normal. The
supervisory LED will be turned on by activation of this type of input.
Monitor: This is used to monitor the action of items such as dampers, door, fans, etc. The
supervisory LED is used. Monitor inputs can operate relays and control modules.
Non-reporting: This is a non-latching type of input. They can only operate LEDs, function
relays and control modules. The supervisory LED will be operated. Outputs operated by a
Non-reporting input cannot be also operated by another type of input or switch.
Trouble: This function type is used for various circuit types and for control modules.
Trouble type inputs operate LEDs only, no other outputs are allowed. This function type is
assigned by NP automatically.
Enable Fan Delay: Controls the staggered turning off of Control Modules (relay). If
checked, Control Modules (relay) on this circuit are turned off in sequence, from the lowest
address to the highest address, at a rate set by the Fan Delay option in the Panel Options
Dialog, when Reset is pressed on the panel. The operation of Control Modules
(supervising) is not affected by this setting.
Disable Maintenance Alert: Disables the addressable smoke or heat sensor from
reporting Maintenance Alert. Maintenance Alert is defined by the device staying at almost
alarm threshold for an extended period of time. This is usually an indication that a smoke
sensor requires cleaning. Heat sensors in high temperature areas may need the
Maintenance Alert disabled to limit nuisance troubles. Standard room temperature (20°C)
does not cause a Maintenance Alert on a heat detector.
