Entry/Exit Time - A short delay in alarm reporting from the entry/exit door that allows authorized personnel to
enter the building through the entry/exit door and disarm the system or exit the building after arming the system
without setting off the alarm. (Arm/disarm applications only).
External Interface - EIA-485 bidirectional serial port used for Upload/Download.
Forward Zone - A software zone which once activated by an input device or other forward zone may in turn
activate other zones and/or output devices directly. Zones and output devices activated by a forward zone are
contained in the forward zone control-by-event list.
Group Interface - Monitor module with Type ID SARM wired to a control module with TYPE ID CMXC that reports
alarms from a protected premise.
ISIB - Intelligent Serial Interface Board. Used for communication with ACS Annunciators (SIB-2048A, SIB-NET).
LIB-200, LIB-200A, and LIB-400 - Loop Interface Board. The electronics powering and communicating with each
SLC Loop.
Local Mode - The independent operation of a LIB board when CPU to LIB communications fail. Three cutoff
addresses are programmed by the user into system memory for local mode operation (one address for intelligent
detectors, one for monitor modules, and one for control modules). If communications between a LIB and the CPU
board break down, local mode will perform the following function: If an alarm occurs on a detector or a monitor
module at or below their respective cutoff addresses for that type of device, the LIB will automatically activate all
control modules at and below the control module cutoff address. Refer to Extended Local Mode Operation in
Chapter Three of this manual.
Local Mode General Alarm Bus - The LIB-200A and the LIB-400 incorporate local mode operation. In addition,
when installed in an ICA-4L chassis, an alarm detected on any LIB-200A or LIB-400 will cause the other LIB-200A
and LIB-400 boards to automatically activate all control modules at and below the control module cutoff address.
Refer to Extended Local Mode Operation in Chapter Three of this manual.
Point - The occupation of a system memory address by an addressable SLC Loop device, software zone or
annunciator point.
Protected Premises Unit - A remote AM2020/AFP1010 panel located inside the protected premises and report-
ing back to the central station via a NIB-96.
Protected Premise - An area in a building monitored by either a security area monitor or a group interface and
reporting to the central station or PPU as a Security Alarm trouble report.
Reverse Zone - A software zone which if not activated directly by an input device or forward zone may be
activated through an associated control-by-event equation. A reverse zone may be referenced in other control-by-
event equations. Reverse zones on a NOTI•FIRE•NET system may also contain cooperative control-by-event
equations.
Ringback - An indication from the central station to the protected premises indicating whether the system is
armed. Can be at an annunciator or a PPU (if used). (Arm/disarm applications only.)
Security Access Monitor - Monitor module on the SLC programmed with software Type ID SACM and monitoring
various security devices in a security supervisory protected area. When activated, it generates a Security Alert.
Security Area Monitor - Monitor module on the SLC programmed with software Type ID SARM and monitoring
various security devices in a security supervisory protected area or protected premise. When activated, it
generates a Security Alarm.
Signal Cutout- -A feature of the system which causes the signal silence function to activate automatically after
a programmed time period following a fire alarm. This option has a resolution of eight seconds.
