TERMS USED IN THIS MANUAL
The following are various terms used in this manual with a brief description of each:
Ω
-
Symbol for “ohm”. Unit of resistance.
AC Normal State
(“AC Normal” Green LED ON) The system is in the AC Normal state when appropriate AC power is being applied to
the system.
Alarm State
(“Alarm” Red LED ON, Piezo pulsing) The alarm occurs when an input circuit configured for alarm operation has
been activated. Activation typically initiated by a detector or contact device. The system leaves the alarm state
upon entry into the pre-discharge or release state.
Class A wiring
Input circuits capable of transmitting an alarm signal during a single open or a non-simultaneous single ground fault
on a circuit conductor shall be designated as Style D or Class A. Similarly, output circuits capable of activating
during a single open or a non-simultaneous ground fault on a circuit conductor shall be designated as Style Z or
Class A. Commonly referred to as redundant or 4-wire connection; this manual refers to 4-wire connections as
Class A wiring.
Class B wiring
Input circuits incapable of transmitting and alarm signal beyond the location of the fault condition (listed for Class A
wiring above) shall be designated as Style B or Class B. Similarly, output circuits incapable of operating beyond the
location of the fault condition shall be designated as Style Y or Class B. This manual refers to 2-wire connections
as Class B wiring.
Initiating Device
A system component that originates transmission of a change-of-state condition, such as a smoke detector, manual
fire alarm box, or supervisory switch. This manual interchanges the terms initiating device and input device.
Initiating Device Circuit
A circuit to which automatic or manual initiating devices are connected where the signal received does not identify
the individual device operated. This manual interchanges the terms initiating device circuit and input circuit.
Normal State
(“Trouble” Yellow LED OFF) The system is in the normal state when the power supply and all circuits are configured
properly, connected, and responding properly. The system remains in normal state until a trouble condition occurs.
Non Power-Limited
A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing through the circuit is unlimited vs.
being limited, or power-limited. AC power and Battery wiring is Non Power-limited.
Power-Limited
A circuit designation given for wiring purposes. The amount of current flowing through the circuit is limited (typically
by fuse) vs. being unlimited, or non-power-limited. The SHP Pro input and output circuits are power-limited. The
circuit has a maximum power that flows through it or it current limits and opens the circuit.
Pre-discharge State
(“Alarm” Red LED ON, Piezo chirping) The pre-discharge state occurs when the zone’s detection type input
conditions are satisfied (Cross Zone Detection, Sequential Alarm Detection, or Single Detector Release). Upon
time delay countdown completion (unless delayed by a pertinent activated abort input), the system leaves the pre-
discharge state and enters the release state.
Release State
(“Alarm” Red LED ON, Piezo chirping) The release state occurs upon completion of the pre-discharge state or upon
activation of a manual release input. At the start of the release state, output circuits configured for releasing shall
operate. (Does not apply to CyberCat)
