Discharge Condition. Refers to the condition in which the releasing circuit is activated.
Discharge Output Type. Defined as the output type associated with a releasing group and
activated if the panel proceeds to the Discharge event.
Discharge Period. Defined as the time period in which the releasing circuit will remain active
before automatically deactivating.
Enable / Disable. Refers to the state of individual circuits (inputs and outputs) or logic functions
regardless of the presence of its corresponding modules.
EOLR. End-of-line resistor, used for termination purposes.
FACP. Fire Alarm Control Panel.
General Alarm. A term usually applied to the simultaneous operation of all the notification
appliances on a system.
Ground Fault. A trouble condition in which a low resistance has been detected between the
system wiring and conduit ground.
Group 1st –Alarm. Refers to the condition in which the releasing input group meets at least
one of the threshold requirements to activate the releasing circuit. This does not refer to the pre-
alarm condition detected by the smoke detector.
Initiating Device. A manually or automatically operated device such as a manual pull station,
smoke detector, heat detector, waterflow switch or tamper switch.
Input Group. Detectors and devices are grouped together for convenience into input groups.
This will usually represent an area in the building, for instance "the first floor".
Labeled. Equipment or materials to which have been attached a label, symbol, or other
identifying mark of an organization acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned
with product evaluation, that maintains periodic inspection of the production of such labeled
equipment or materials, and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with
appropriate standards or performance in a specified manner.
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 70.
National Fire Alarm Code. Also published as NFPA 72.
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.
