Installation and Configuration Setting Addresses and Switches • Viewing/changing a module already in use - Section 3.4.4, “Configuration Menu”. 2.8 Setting Addresses and Switches 2.8.1 Addressing the RLD Set the address with the on screen menu. This address must match what is entered into VeriFire Tools programming. The system supports up to 10 router devices connected to the control panel using up to 10 unique addresses.
Section 3: Programming and Operations 3.1 Capabilities The RLD will display event status and event counters on the Alert bar with the 4 configurable mapped event types plus a fifth category “other” to capture the event types not directly mapped. The RLD will display all events related to the mapped zone(s) up to 50 total events.
Programming and Operations Programming the N16/NCD for Remote Annunciation 3.2.2 General Settings for RLD On the VeriFire Tools General Settings for RLD, configure option as described below. Primary Label - 40 character text entry that is used as a label for the annunciator address. Language - Set to English for RLD v.1.0.
Programming the N16/NCD for Remote Annunciation Programming and Operations PMB Power Supply Enabled - Select this box if the power supply node address is an NCD or N16 with an addressable power main board (PMB). PMB Address - Provide the specific address of the PMB that is providing power to the RLD for appropriate operation for power save and power indication.
Programming and Operations Programming the N16/NCD for Remote Annunciation 3.2.5 Custom Action Settings for RLD Program 6 custom action buttons that will be accessible to operator without panel login. NOTE: If a Custom Action Button programmed to manually control a life safety function, there must be a visual indicator programmed on an ACM-30 at the main operator to interface, to show the function's status.
Event Priority Programming and Operations 3.2.6 Zone Map Settings for RLD The RLD may be configured to match the NCD/N16 zone map or to operate with a subset of the NCD/N16 zone map for event filtering based on primary zone assignment. When configured for zone filtering, only the local node may be selected in the node map. 3.3 Event Priority The panel will use the highest priority event in the system that is mapped to that annunciator to appropriately control the audible pattern played by that annunciator.
Programming and Operations LED and Keypad Functions 3.4.1 System Startup On initial startup, RLD will display annunciator version and model number. Enter the address and termination status for the unit. Address. Press the touch point for ADDRESS 1 to ADDRESS 10. The unit will save the information and move to the next screen. Each RLD requires a unique address, and the addressing order is independent of the order in which the units are wired on the bus.
