Nfpa Listings; Pre-Alarm Function - Notifier AM2020 User Manual

NFPA Listings

NFPA listing allows the programmer to change the operation of the panel based on the NFPA listings selected.
Each listing will select one or more mandatory modules.
* NFPA 72 (72A) Local Fire Alarm Systems
NFPA 72 (72B) Auxiliary Fire Alarm Systems
** NFPA 72 (72C) Remote Station Fire Alarm Systems
** NFPA 72 (72D) Proprietary Fire Alarm Systems
** NFPA 72 (71) Central Station Fire Alarm Systems
Receiving Unit (RCV) and Central Station Unit
* Fire alarm input devices automatically default to latching operation when the 72A listing is selected.
** NFPA 72 (72C), (72D), and (71) are no longer required and should not be selected during programming.
Once a module is programmed by an NFPA Listing selection, that module can only be removed from the system
by de-selection of that same listing. Selection of RCV disables the block acknowledge function. RCV must be
enabled for all Central Station Receiving and Proprietary and Protected Premises receiving units. RCV is not
supported by NOTI•FIRE•NET™ systems that contain an NRT or AFP-200 panel.
• Modules must be connected on the LIB SLC Loop with the appropriate address(es) set in order
to avoid trouble conditions.
• NFPA modules selected must be in their normal state or acknowledged prior to de-selection
otherwise trouble conditions may not clear from the panel memory.

Pre-Alarm Function

The pre-alarm function causes the FACP to generate a trouble message when the chamber value of the detector
has exceeded 80% of the alarm threshold (determined by the sensitivity selection of low, medium, high).
• With pre-alarm enabled, the 80% condition must be present for at least a 60 second period and will
indicate a "PRE-ALARM ALERT" message on the FACP after that period.
• With pre-alarm disabled the 80% condition must be present for at least a 26 hour period and will indicate
a "MAINTENANCE REQ" message on the FACP after that period.
This condition (detector exceeding 80% of alarm threshold) may be due to a dirty detector. The
detector should be inspected and cleaned as necessary by an authorized service representative.
Failure to do so may result in a false alarm.
