1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel

The IFC-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications. The JCPU-3030 comes with a front display/keypad option, which allows
programming and viewing options at the panel.
There are two basic configuration options for the IFC-3030. It can be ordered with:
• a front display/keypad, which allows programming and viewing options at the panel, or
• no display keypad.
This manual gives instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the IFC-3030, the panel is controlled by remote annunciators.
VeriFire™ Tools programming is required. The displayless panel has four buttons on its circuit
board that are service-level switches for local operation should it become necessary. They are the
only buttons, and are clearly marked with ACK for Acknowledge, SIGSIL for Signal Silence,
SYSRST for System Reset, and LAMP TEST. These buttons are mainly for installer use: the
operator should utilize a remote annunciator for these functions, if possible. The status indicator
LEDs on the circuit board are the same as on the display/keypad (refer to "The Display/Keypad" on
page 10 of this manual).
Refer to VeriFire™ Tools or the JNCA manual for information on programming without an IFC-
3030 display/keypad.
