Listed. Equipment or materials included in a list published by an organization acceptable to
the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with product evaluation, that maintains periodic
inspection of production of listed equipment or materials. And whose listing states either that
the equipment or material meets appropriate standards or has been tested and found suitable
for use in a specified manner.
Manual Release Function. Defines an event that is manually initiated in which the releasing
circuit activates regardless of the condition of the system. This function is ignored if the
releasing circuit has already activated and the Discharge Period has elapsed.
NEC. National Electrical Code also published as NFPA standard 70.
Node. In a networked system, it is a redistribution or end point for data transmission that has a
programmed or engineered capability to recognize and process or forward transmission to
other nodes.
Notification Appliance. An electrically operated appliance used to indicate the system status
such as a bell, horn, strobe light or speaker.
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). A circuit to which notification appliances are
connected.
Power Supply. That portion of the fire alarm control unit, which provides the power needed to
operate all control unit modules, as well as that, needed to operate all electrically powered
initiating devices and all notification appliances.
Pre-discharge Condition. Refers to the condition in which the Pre-discharge delay has been
activated.
Pre-discharge Delay. The time period delay before the activation of the releasing circuit when
the releasing condition is met.
Programming Tool. Refers to an external proprietary software package that allows the user to
program the panel (CIS-4 for the MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 panels).
Quick Test. A term pertaining to the test mode of the system, that automatically resets after a
service technician tests initiating devices.
Releasing Group Threshold. Defined as a set of conditions which the input releasing group
has to meet in order to initiate a pre-discharge event.
Releasing Input Group. The only input group type that can be associated with the releasing
circuits.
Releasing NAC. NAC associated with releasing input group type that annunciates Releasing
Group 1st Alarm pre-discharge and discharge conditions associated with the releasing
application.
Reset Condition. Condition in which the panel is forced to return to its normal state, usually
performed by pressing the "SYTEM RESET" button after all known events / conditions are
cleared.
