Conventions

Circuits Refers to a physical electrical interface for the analog loop, indicating signals or relays, and common alarm,supervisory, and trouble relay outputs.

Zone/GroupIs a logical concept for a Fire Alarm Protected Area, and will consist of at least one Circuit. Groups are usedextensively in the FX-350 to facilitate annunciation of multiple input and output points on the 32 (up to 64) LEDdisplay and to facilitate bypassing of inputs and outputs.

Display Points The FX-350 provides an LCD display to annunciate the status of the system and connected devices. The FX-351and FX-353 also provides up to 64 LED display points on the panel front in addition to the LCD display. Displaypoints may be assigned to LEDs during configuration to groups of inputs or outputs. There are two LEDs for everydisplay point: one single color (amber) and one dual color (red/amber).

Wiring Styles The analog loop can be connected in Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style D) configurations. Changing the indicatingcircuits to Class A requires an OCAC-304 adder board which will convert four indicating zones from Class B (StyleY) circuits to Class A (Style Z). This is done without reducing the number of circuits.

Note: The Model FX-350-60-R and FX-350-60DR panels DO NOT recognize any devices with addresses higher than 60.

Polarity Reversal and City Tie Module (Model PR-300) Mount the PR-300 on the left side panel of the backbox with the two screws provided, refer to Figure 5.

Figure 9: Polarity Reversal and City Tie Module

The following hardware configuration must be performed before installing the PR-300.

Table 2: PR-300 Cable and Jumper Settings

The Alarm Transmit signal to the PR-300 can be programmed to turn OFF when signal silence is active. This allows the City Tie Box to be manually reset. On subsequent alarms the silenceable signals will resound and the City Tie Box will be retriggered.

The Trouble Transmit signal to the PR-300 can be programmed to delay AC power fail 0, 1, 2, or 3 hours if this is the only system trouble.

RAX-332 Display Adder ModuleThe RAX-332 Display Adder Module is used only with the FX-351 and FX-353 Fire Alarm Panels. No jumpers or other physical configuration steps are required to install this second RAX-332 Display Adder Module. Remove the blank cover plate from the front door and install the RAX-332 with the clear cover in the opening with the hardware provided. Disconnect main and standby power and connect the cable of the second RAX-332 into the open, remaining header of the existing RAX-332. The additional LEDs will be available for configuration as LEDs 33 to 64, when the system power is restored.

Circuits and Devices

Addressable/Analog DevicesThe FX-350 supports up to 3 loops of addressable/analog devices. The device loop can be used to connect up to 60, 126 or 378 analog devices and addressable input or output modules on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The devices must be compatible with the Mircom device protocol.

The loop interface software continuously supervises the devices on its loop against those found during configuration for the following conditions:

• device missing

• unconfigured device responding

• two or more devices responding to the same address

• wrong device type

A communication or addressing error on a device is reported as a trouble on the associated zone LED if configured.

The addressable loop can be configured for class A or B operation. "T-tapping" is allowed (Refer to device installation documentation for details). A short or open on the loop will activate the common trouble sequence with a latching trouble.

Devices on the loop have an optional LED which normally flashes when the device is polled and goes ON steady when the device is active (alarm for an input device or active for an output device). The flashing of the LED on polling for sensors can be suppressed during configuration. For input or output modules, the LED always flashes when polling. The software limits the maximum number of the devices which can have their LED turned ON when active to fifteen (15).

Certain devices are designed to support an optional external LED, which operates when the LED on the device is activated. Remote/external LEDs must NOT be used on this system. The panel can provide up to 350mA of current to the devices on the loop. A maximum line loss of 5 volts is permitted, so the loop distance, wire size, and maximum number of devices are limited by this constraint.

The devices should be installed using unshielded twisted pair (UTP). The total line drop on the loop must not exceed 5 volts at the last device. The calculations required to determine the maximum permissible loop wiring distance with various combinations of devices is relatively complicated, and when isolators are used, includes a consideration of device inrush currents which must not exceed 20mA for a single isolator. In no case should more that twenty devices be connected to a single isolator. To simplify the calculation process, please utilize the loop calculator program located on the Mircom website at http:/www.mircom.com in order to determine maximum loop lengths, number of devices, and wire sizes etc.

It is also important to note that the device LEDs present a significant extra load on the loop which must be considered in calculating permissible loop lengths, battery capacities, etc. Please refer to the device Installation Instructions and other documentation provided with the addressable devices, bases, and isolators for further information. The system will automatically limit the maximum number of device LEDs which can be illuminated to 15.

Analog DevicesThe system supports Mircom MIX-3000 Series photo, ion, multi-sensor and thermal (heat) type analog detectors, as well as contact input and output devices. The detectors may be configured as non-verified or verified alarm inputs. To determine an alarm condition, the system polls the analog device and compares the analog value against stored thresholds for pre-alarm and alarm conditions.

A range of thresholds is provided for each type of analog device (except for contact devices), corresponding to the agency approved range of threshold for a particular device type. Each device can be individually configured to a value in the range of threshold for “day time” and one for the “night time” or after hours operation; i.e. a device may be configured to a low sensitivity for “day time” and high sensitivity at “night time”. The day time threshold will be used unless the after hours operation is active.

23

http://www.apollo-fire.co.uk/prod-serv/loopcalc.htm

Circuits and Devices

Drift CompensationThe FX-350 will automatically adjust for gradually increasing affects of dust and other accumulations of dirt in the detectors. It will adjust the thresholds to compensate for a detector going dirty according to the gradual change in the normal clean air value received. When it can no longer compensate for an increasingly dirty detector, a dirty detector trouble is indicated for that device.

Auto TestPeriodically each detector is commanded to return an alarm value to test its ability to alarm. If it fails the test, a trouble is indicated on that device. This trouble is latched until system reset.

Contact InputsContact input modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following input types:

• non-verified alarm inputs

• waterflow inputs

• non-latching supervisory inputs

• latching supervisory inputs

• monitor inputs

• trouble only inputs

• remote switch inputs

Contact OutputsContact output modules on the addressable/analog device loop may be configured as any of the following output types:

• signals

• strobes

• relay outputs

Analog devices may be installed with relay or sounder bases. The outputs of these bases are activated when the device active LED turns ON steady in response to an alarm. The command to activate the output is separate from the command that activates the LED and they are not subject to the same restrictions as the LED. Output modules configured as signals are not stroked by software at the current signal rate. When the system commands them to be either in alert or in evacuation, the panel will simply activate them continuously. It is possible to provide stroked operation by connecting the signal power to a conventional signal output which is stroking at the correct rate when the device is active. Depending on the device, the system can detect open and short troubles and report it as an output circuit trouble.

Field Wiring

Main Fire Alarm Board Field Wiring Wire devices to the addressable loop as shown in Figure 9 for Class B (Style 4) or Figure 10 for Class A (Style 6). Refer to the Table 3 for loop wire gauges. Wire devices to addressable loops 2 and 3, if available, in the same manner.

Figure 10: Addressable Loop Wiring - Class B or Style 4

Table 3: Loop Wiring Table

Loop IsolatorsTo limit the number of addressable devices compromised by a short on the addressable loop, isolators (MIX-100X, 100XH, or 100XB) may be used to isolate the affect of the short circuit. If the impact of a short circuit must be limited to only one device, an isolating base must be used for each detector. A maximum of twenty devices can be connected between isolators, or between the panel and the first isolator, as long as the maximum in-rush current for the devices on one segment of the loop does not exceed 20mA. Refer to the installation instructions for addressable devices for additional details.

Loop OperationWhen there is a short circuit on the Class A loop with isolators installed, the isolators isolate the shorted fault, the panel detects it as an open loop and generates an open loop trouble.

When a Class A loop is opened there may be a few missing devices reported by the panel which will be restored once the panel has established the Class A connection.

Note: When there is an "Open loop trouble" look for both open and shorts on the loop. As a guide line the isolators which are activated in response to a short will have their LED ON; look for the short between the two isolators with their LEDs ON.

Indicating (Powered Output) CircuitsPowered output circuits can be configured as signal, strobe or relay outputs. Powered output circuits are supervised while they are not active for both open circuits and shorts. The circuit will not actually be activated if there is a short trouble on the circuit. It will be activated if an open trouble is indicated. A circuit trouble activates the common trouble sequence as a non-latching trouble. Since open circuit supervision does not operate while the circuit is in alarm, if the circuit was in trouble before it was activated, it will still indicate trouble while active. The trouble condition will be re-evaluated when supervision resumes.

Output circuits configured as strobes can have sync protocol for synchronization if configured. Certain strobe and strobe/horns models of the following manufacturers are supported.

1. All normal non-sychronized horns

2. Faraday

3. System Sensor

4. Wheelock

5. Gentex

6. Mircom

When configured as normal, the output circuit is ON continuously when activated and does not use any sync protocol. When configured as non-silenceable strobes, the strobes cannot be silenced, but the horn can be silenced by pressing the 'signal silence' button

If the strobe is configured as silenceable strobe both the horn and the strobe are silenced (stopped) by pressing the 'signal silence' button

Indicating Circuit Wiring The FX-350 Series Addressable Fire Alarm Panel supports Class B (Style Y) and Class A (Style Z) wiring for its indicating circuits. Each circuit is supervised by a 3.9K End-of-Line resistor. Each indicating circuit provides up to 1.7Amperes, total 5Amperes of current maximum if no auxiliary power is used. Wire indicating circuits as in Figure 11 for Class B (Style y) or as in Figure 12 for Class A (Style Z).

Figure 17: Main Power Supply Connections

TYPE RATING

Electrical Input rating 120 VAC, 60Hz, 1.73A / 240VAC, 50Hz, 0.864A

Battery fuse on Main module 10A, slow blow micro fuse (not replaceable)

Caution: The main AC branch circuit connection for the Fire Alarm Control Unit must provide a dedicated continuous power without any disconnect devices. Use #12 AWG wire with 600-volt insulation and proper over-current circuit protection that complies with the local codes. Refer to Appendix C for specifications.

Note: Ensure that the AC supply is disconnected before wiring the power to the panel. Wire the AC power to the AC wiring terminals as shown in Figure 16 using the proper wire gauge. Fire alarm systems must be installed in compliance with local codes and standards and with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

Note: The FX-350 panel is capable of being wired for 120 VAC or 240 VAC 50/60 Hz as shown above. A good ground connection to the “Ground" terminal is essential to electrical safety, ensure proper operation, and specified noise immunity.

System Checkout

Before turning the power “ON” To prevent sparking, do not connect the batteries. Connect the batteries after powering the system from the main AC supply.

1. Check that all adder modules are installed in the proper location with the proper connections.

2. Check all field (external) wiring for opens, shorts, and ground.

3. Check that all interconnection cables are secure, and that all connectors are plugged in properly.

4. Check all jumpers and switches for proper setting.

5. Check the AC power wiring for proper connection.

6. Check that the chassis is connected to earth ground (cold water pipe).

7. Make sure to close the front cover plate before powering the system from main AC supply.

The best way to set up a panel for the first time is to avoid connecting any field wiring at first. To begin set up, power up the panel with end of line resistors connected where appropriate, then connect the battery. The panel will show “System Restart Active”. Press System Reset button to reset the panel. If the panel is free of trouble, connect one circuit at a time, checking for troubles each time. If a trouble occurs at any point during the set-up, correct the fault, then continue connecting the field wiring.

Power-up procedure After completing the system checkout procedures outlined above,

8. Power up the panel. The "AC-ON" green LED and the “Common Trouble” LED should illuminate, and the buzzer should sound. Press the “System Reset” button. Since the batteries are not connected, the trouble buzzer should sound intermittently and the common trouble LED should flash.

9. Connect the batteries while observing correct polarity: the red wire is positive (+) and black wire is negative(-). All indicators should be OFF except for normal power "AC ON" green LED.

10.Configure the Fire Alarm Control Panel as described in the System Configuration section.

Troubleshooting

Symptoms Possible Cause

Circuit Trouble

Normally when a circuit trouble occurs, its designated trouble indicator will be illuminated, as well as the common trouble indicator and trouble buzzer. To correct the fault, check for open wiring on that particular circuit loop or that the Circuit Disconnect Switch is in the ON or CLOSED position. Note: Disconnecting a Circuit will cause a system trouble (off-normal position).

Remote TroubleRemote Trouble will be indicated on the main panel display for any failure reported by, or failure to communicate with a remote annunciator or other remote device.

Ground FaultThis panel has a common ground fault detector. To correct the fault, check for any external wiring touching the chassis or other Earth Ground connection.

Battery Trouble Check for the presence of batteries and their conditions. Low voltage (below 20.4V) will cause a battery trouble. If battery trouble condition persists, replace batteries as soon as possible.

Walk Test Mode If the Walk Test LED is illuminated steadily, the system is in Walk Test Mode.

Common Trouble

If only a common trouble is indicated on the main panel and none of the above confirming trouble indicators are ON, check the following for possible fault:

• Check for any missing interconnection wiring.

• Check for any Module missing that was part of the Configuration.

• Check for improperly secured cabling.

Common Indicators

BuzzerThe Buzzer is activated by any of the following:

• Fire Alarm: Steady

• Supervisory Alarm: Fast flash rate

• Trouble: trouble flash rate

• Monitor: Configurable to sound at trouble flash rate

If the buzzer turns ON in response to a non-latching trouble or supervisory, it will turn OFF if the condition causing it goes away and there is no other reason for it to be ON.

AC On LEDThe AC On LED illuminates steady green while the main AC power is within acceptable levels. It turns off when the power level falls below the power-fail threshold and the panel switches to standby (battery) power.

Common Alarm LEDThe Common Alarm LED illuminates steady red whenever the panel is in alarm. An alarm results from any alarm on any point or input programmed as alarm or activation of the manual General Alarm button (if the panel is set for two stage operation). Since all alarms are latched until the alarm conditions are cleared and the panel is reset, the LED will remain ON until then.

Common Supervisory LEDThe Common Supervisory LED flashes amber at the Supervisory or Fast Flash rate when there is a supervisory alarm in the panel resulting from any un-bypassed latching or non-latching supervisory circuit. The LED turns OFF if all non-latching Supervisory Circuits are restored and there are no active latching supervisory circuits. Latching supervisory alarms remain active until the panel is reset.

Common Trouble LEDThe Common Trouble LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash rate when the panel detects any trouble condition in the system. The LED turns OFF once all non-latching troubles are cleared.

CPU Fault LEDThe CPU Fault LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash rate when the panel detects a fault on the CPU. It is turned OFF when the CPU fault is corrected.

Ground Fault LEDThe Ground Fault LED flashes amber at the trouble flash rate when the Ground Fault Detector detects a ground fault on any field wiring. It turns off immediately after the ground fault is cleared.

System Reset LEDThe amber System Reset LED will illuminate steadily after the system reset button has been pressed and the system is resetting.

Signal Silence LEDThe Signal Silence LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash rate after indicating circuits are silenced either by the Signal Silence button, or by the Auto Signal Silence Timer. It turns OFF after the signals are re-sounded by a subsequent alarm.

Fire Drill LEDThe Fire Drill LED turns ON steady amber while Fire Drill is active.

Buzzer Silence LEDThe Buzzer Silence LED flashes amber at the Trouble Flash rate when the Buzzer Silence button is pressed. Any new alarm, supervisory or trouble events will resound the buzzer and will cause the Buzzer Silence LEd to turn off.

Acknowledge LEDIf the panel is configured as a two stage system, the Acknowledge LED flashes amber at the Fast Flash rate while the General Alarm timer is timing. It turns ON steady amber after the Auto General Alarm Timer is cancelled by the activation of the Acknowledge or Signal Silence buttons. If the Auto General Alarm Timer times-out and puts the panel into General Alarm, the Acknowledge LED turns OFF. If the panel is configured as Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS), the Acknowledge LED flashes amber at the Fast Flash rate while a timer counts down 15 seconds to common alarm.

General Alarm LEDIn two stage operation only, the red General Alarm LED illuminates steadily after the General Alarm button is pressed, or after the Auto General Alarm Timer times out. Once the General Alarm LED turns ON it will stay active until the panel is reset.

Lamp Test LEDThe amber Lamp Test LED will illuminate steadily after the Lamp Test button is pressed and while system is in Lamp Test mode.

Battery/Charger Trouble LEDIn a ULI application the amber Battery/Charger Trouble LED flashes at the Trouble Flash rate when any Battery/Charger Trouble occurs.

In a ULC application the amber Battery/Charger Trouble LED illuminates steady when any Battery/Charger Trouble occurs.

LEDs 1 to 32 for FX-351 and FX-353 Series OnlyPoints labelled 1 to 32 are available for alarm, supervisory, and monitor annunciation (bi-coloured red/amber LEDs) and trouble annunciation (amber LEDs).

RAX-332 LEDs 33 to 64 for FX-351 and FX-353 Series OnlyPoints labelled 33 to 64 are available for alarm, supervisory, and monitor annunciation (bi-coloured red/amber LEDs) and trouble annunciation (amber LEDs).

Menu Button

Use this button to view the Command Menu.

Info Button

Push and hold this button to get detailed information about any displayed item.

Signal Silence ButtonPressing the Signal Silence button after the panel is in alarm turns ON the Signal Silence LED and de-activates any silenceable indicating circuits. Non-silenceable circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent alarm. This button does not function during any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if indicating circuits are active as the result of a Fire Drill. In a two stage system, if the Auto General Alarm Timer has timed out, the Signal Silence button also performs the same function as the Acknowledge button.

Fire Drill ButtonThe Fire Drill button activates all programmed and non-disconnected indicating circuits, but does not transmit any Alarms via the city tie or common alarm relay. The Fire Drill is cancelled by pressing the button again (toggle switch), or if the panel goes into a true alarm.

General Alarm Button (Two Stage Only)If the panel is not configured for two stage operation, this button does nothing. If the panel is configured for two stage operation, activation of the General Alarm button immediately sends the panel into second stage general alarm. It will also re-activate the signals if they have been silenced during general alarm. The General Alarm condition remains active until the panel is reset. Silenceable signals can be silenced using the Signal Silence button.

System Reset ButtonThe System Reset button resets the panel and all circuits:

Acknowledge Button (Two Stage or PAS only)If the panel is configured for two stage operation, activation of the Acknowledge button while the Auto General Alarm Timer is timing (e.g. there is an alarm in the panel but it is still in the first stage) cancels the timer and turns the Acknowledge LED ON steady amber. If the panel is configured for Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS), activation of the Acknowledge button within 15 seconds of a PAS alarm will delay a common alarm activation for 60 seconds.

Lamp Test ButtonPressing and holding the Lamp Test button causes all front panel indicators to illuminate and sounds the buzzer steadily. Bi-coloured LEDs will illuminate twice to show both colors. If lamp test is active for more than ten seconds, the Common Trouble LED activates.

Single Stage OperationIn a single stage system, all alarm inputs are treated in a similar manner. Alarm inputs include any of the following: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, waterflow alarm, and general alarm circuits. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

•Resets all Latching Trouble Conditions •Turns off all Indicating Circuits

•Resets Aux Resettable Power Supply •Turns off Fire Drill

•Turns OFF Signal Silence, Ack & GA LEDs •Processes inputs as new events

•Stops and resets all Timers•Reset cannot be activated until the Signal Silence Inhibit timer has expired

•Aux Disconnect is not affected•Pressing Reset button after a PAS Acknowledge will reset the system and clear the alarm event.

ATTENTION: After power-up, press the System Reset button to bring the system to normal and restore the “system power up” trouble.

• The buzzer sounds steadily

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled

• The Common Alarm LED turns ON

• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active

• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts

• All non-disconnected indicating programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux disconnect is not active

• Non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated

• Non-disconnected signals associated with the input are activated at the evacuation rate

Subsequent alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:

• The alert buzzer sounds steadily

• If Signals have been silenced, they are resounded, the Signal Silence LED turns OFF, and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted

• Any additional non-disconnected strobes associated with the input are activated continuously

• Any additional non-disconnected signals associated with the new input are activated at the evacuation rate

Two-Stage OperationIn a Two-Stage system, alarm inputs are either First Stage (alert) inputs or Second Stage (general alarm) inputs. First stage inputs include inputs from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm, verified alarm, and waterflow alarm. Second stage inputs include alarms on the general alarm circuits, activation of the General Alarm button, or expiration of the Auto General Alarm timer. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:

• The buzzer sounds steadily.

• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled.


• The Common Alarm relay activates if Aux disconnect is not active.

• The Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, starts.

• The Signal Silence Inhibit timer, if configured, starts.

• All non-disconnected outputs programmed to the input are activated provided that Aux disconnect is not active.

If the alarm is a Second Stage alarm,

• All non-disconnected strobe circuits are activated continuously, if correlated to an alarm input.

• All non-disconnected signal circuits are activated at the evacuation rate, if correlated to an alarm input.

• The General Alarm LED turns ON.

If the alarm is a First Stage alarm,

• Non-disconnected strobe circuits programmed to that circuit are activated continuously.

• Non-disconnected signal circuits programmed to that circuit are activated with the alert code (see Output Types on page 42).

• The Auto General Alarm timer, if configured, starts.

• The Acknowledge LED starts flashing.

Subsequent First Stage alarms when the panel is already in alarm, cause the following:


• If signals have been silenced as a result of the silence button or the Auto signal silence timer, signals are resounded as they were before signal silence, the Signal Silence LED turns OFF, and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted.

• If the panel is not already in General Alarm, additional non-disconnected signals programmed to the new input are activated with the Alert Code (see Output Types on page 42).

38


• If the panel is not already in General Alarm and if the Acknowledge LED is ON steady indicating that the Auto General Alarm timer has been Acknowledged the timer is restarted and the Acknowledge LED is extinguished.

A second stage alarm (general alarm) when the panel is already in alarm causes the following:


• All non-disconnected signals are activated at the evacuation rate.

• If the Signal Silence LED is ON, it turns OFF and the Auto Signal Silence timer, if configured, is restarted.

• The Acknowledge LED if ON, turns OFF.

Alarm inputs are latching, they remain active until system reset

Positive Alarm SequenceIn a Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) system, only smoke detectors can be dedicated as PAS inputs. PAS Inputs can only be from the following types of circuits: non-verified alarm and verified alarm. Any of these alarm inputs occurring when the panel is not already in alarm cause the following:


• If fire drill is active, it is cancelled.


• The individual zone LED (if programmed) turns ON.

• The Common Alarm relay does not activate.

• The PAS timer starts for 15 seconds.

• All outputs programmed to the input are not activated.

When the PAS alarm has been acknowledged within 15 seconds, the following sequence occurs:

• The buzzer is silenced.

• The Common Alarm LED stays ON.

• The individual zone LED (if programmed) stays ON.

• The PAS timer starts for 180 seconds (3 minutes). This is the time allotted to reset the system and avoid any true alarm sequence.

When the PAS alarm has been acknowledged and the system reset (and there are no new alarms), within the given time limits, the following occurs:

• The buzzer stays silenced.

• The Common Alarm LED turns OFF.

• The individual zone LED (if programmed) turns OFF.

• The alarm event is cancelled. No log reference.

• The fire alarm system returns to normal.

If at any time during the Positive Alarm Sequence a second alarm (PAS or otherwise) is actuated, the fire alarm will go into evacuation mode. In a preconfigured FACP the Positive Alarm Sequence may be enabled or disabled as the user requires.

Enabling or Disabling the Positive Alarm Sequence• To enable or disable the Positive Alarm Sequence, from the Keypad of the FACP press “M” to enter the Menu

• Using the Up and Down Arrow buttons, scroll to “Operation” and press the enter key

• In the Operation Menu scroll to “Positive Alarm” and press enter

Note: All circuits with process type designated as “signal” are automatically correlated to the “fire drill” and “general alarm” status.

• You will now see displayed the current status of the Positive Alarm Sequence and will be prompted to change status.

• If you wish to change the status press the “enter” key.

• If you do not wish to change the status, press the “cancel” key

Input TypesThe following is a table of input types available for programming.

Note: There will be no notification message advising a change of status

Input Types Description

Non-Verified Alarm

When an un-bypassed non-verified alarm input goes into alarm the common alarm sequence is activated. Un-bypassed relay, signal, and strobe outputs are updated according to their programming and alarm zone status indicators associated with the input are activated. Alarm input activations are displayed on the shared display in the common queue with alarm as the highest priority and is displayed first.

A pre-alarm condition on a device configured as an alarm input is displayed on the shared display and on the alarm zone status indicator. If the pre-alarm condition is restored the status will be cleared. If the input goes from pre-alarm to alarm, the pre-alarm status will be replaced with the alarm status for the input.
