Appendix B: Intelligent Detector Functions Note: For instructions on selecting Intelligent Detector Functions, refer to the NFS-640 Programming Manual. Descriptions for Intelligent Detector Functions Function Description Analog Display The control panel reads and displays analog information from the 318 analog detectors (159 per SLC). The display shows the sensed air at the detector as a percentage of the alarm threshold for each detector.
The control panel can communicate with a remote terminal or computer connected to the EIA-232 PC/ Terminal port. Refer to the NFS-640 Installation Manual for installation information. Note: See the NFS-640 Programming Manual for instructions on enabling the CRT. This port may be set up for interactive operation or for monitoring only. Interactive operation requires that all equipment be UL-listed under UL Standard for Safety UL 864 and be installed and set up as directed under Local Terminal Mode (LocT) or Local Monitor Mode (LocM).
