Technician required on site C.2 Presignal Purpose Presignal is a feature that initially causes alarm signals to only sound in specific areas, monitored by qualified persons. This allows delay of the alarm up to 180 seconds after the start of alarm processing.

Appendix D: CBE Zones and Equations CBE (Control-By-Event) is a software function that provides a means to program a variety of output responses based on various initiating events. The control panel operates CBE through lists of zones. A zone becomes listed when it is added to a point’s zone map through point programming.
Page 99
Zones CBE Zones and Equations Special Zone An output participates in Presignal with this special zone in its zone map. ZF1 (Trouble less AC) An output programmed to turn on/off if a system trouble - other than an AC power loss - occurs. ZF2 (AC Trouble) An output programmed to turn on/off if an AC power loss or a brownout condition occurs.
CBE Zones and Equations Equations Required for Two-Stage Notification Canadian Standalone Applications D.2 Equations Logic and Trouble Equations can define complex relationships between input and output devices. The FACP supports up to 1000 Logic Equations, each designated with a Logic Zone number of ZL1 through ZL1000. It also supports up to 100 Trouble Zones, each designated with a Trouble Zone number of ZT001 through ZT100.

Logic Equations CBE Zones and Equations • The “ONLY1” Operator Requires that only one argument be active. Example: ONLY1(Z02,Z05,Z09) If only one of the arguments activates the logic zone will be activated. • The “ANYX” Operator Requires that the amount of arguments specified by the number preceding the arguments be active. Example: ANYX(2,Z02,Z05,Z09) If any two or more of the arguments are in alarm the output point will be activated.
CBE Zones and Equations Logic Equations Switch group 16 on Annunciator 1 must be in the “normal” (no trouble) state for the equation to go active. OR(NORM(A1G16)) (All switches groups on) Annunciator 1 must be in the “normal” (no trouble) state for the equation to go active. OR(NORM(A1) •...

Appendix E: Detector Initialization E.1 Overview The control panel automatically performs a detector initialization routine when a detector is added or changed. The detector initialization routine takes approximately 2.5 minutes. During this time, the detector being initialized does not perform fire pro- tection functions.

Appendix G: Type Codes G.1 What Are Type Codes? Type Codes are software selections for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and output devices (control modules and NACs). Some Type Codes are self-explanatory; that is, the Type Code matches the function of the device, such as a “Monitor” for a monitor module, “Smoke(photo)”...
