Table 5 Settings Permitted in UL864 NOTICE TO USERS, INSTALLERS, AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION, AND OTHER INVOLVED PARTIES This product incorporates field-programmable software. In order for the product to comply with the requirements in the Standard for Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, certain programming features or options must be limited to specific values or not used at all as indicated below.

  • Page 28: Figure 11 Mgc-400 Configurator Date And Time Settings

    Alarm conditions are determined by interrupt which uses thresholds for alarm conditions stored in the device. Secutron addressable detectors (MRI-4000 series) send an interrupt request to the panel, indicating the Alarm condition. The system is polling the interrupt group to determine the devices in Alarm.

  • Page 29: Configurable Input Types

    5.1.4 Drift Compensation Drift Compensation is built into Secutron MRI-4000 series addressable devices, and is not performed by the panel. Drift Compensation automatically adjusts for gradually increasing effects of dust and other accumulations of dirt in the detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detector going dirty according to the gradual change in the normal clean air value received.

    latching trouble. Since open circuit supervision does not operate while the circuit is in alarm, if the circuit was in trouble before it was activated, it will still indicate trouble while active. The trouble condition will be re-evaluated when supervision resumes. Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization if configured.
