AlarmNet Temporary PIN
1. Press 7 from the System Information menu for AlarmNet Temporary PIN. This is used in case the FACP is
replaced on the CCP.
10.5 Event Priority
This section goes over how event activations are handled by the control panel with regards to priority.
10.5.1 System Control
The IFP-2100/ECS control panel integrates both a fire and emergency system into one. When events are active
from both systems the control panel makes intelligent decisions to determine which system should be controlling
outputs. This is called System Control. This manual will refer to the fire or emergency systems having System
Control, this means that the system has an active alarm or supervisory event that has a higher event priority than
an active alarm or supervisory event from the other system. For this consideration, the control panel looks at the
highest priority event active on each system. When both systems are active, the system with control will activate
System Override. System Override is activated on the lower priority, non-System Control panel system (fire or
emergency system.)
10.5.2 System Override
System Override temporarily disengages output group activations from the system being overridden. This is
done to not provide conflicting messages and signaling and help with reducing confusion of the building
occupants.
When output groups are supposed to be active but are not because System Control has activated System
Override, they are re-activated every 30 seconds for 2-3 seconds to indicate to the building occupants that there is
still an event active. This will only occur when the system with System Control is not using the output group.
The System Override option is programmable for non-voice output groups on a per output group basis through
the panel output group programming menus and in HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite. In these places the
option is called Allow System Override and defaults to YES. It is also possible to not reactivate the output groups
every 30 seconds when System Override is active on a per system basis. This option is programmable in HFSS.
There are times when you would not want to allow System Override for an output group. For example: fire is
programmed to an elevator relay to bring the elevator to the bottom floor for fire only. If fire and ECS are active
with ECS being the higher priority event, you still need the elevator to move to the bottom floor and only audible
and visual notification appliances must be overridden. In this case, the output group assigned to the relay would
be set to NO on the Allow System Override setting. See Section 9.4.1.2 to edit group properties.
10.5.3 Event Priority
Each event type (see Table 10-1) has a priority level assigned to it. When more than one event type is active, the
panel uses the Event Priority Table to determine which event mapping to use to control output groups. The Event
Priority Table can be modified using HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite. It is strongly recommended that
before each installation a risk analysis is done by the stake holders (property owners, AHJ, occupants, etc…) to
determine which events take precedence over others.
The Emergency LOC Alarm entry in the Event Priority Table encompasses all ECS Alarm Events that can be
activated from an LOC (LOC Mic Triggered ECS Alarm and LOC ECS 1 Alarm through LOC ECS 8 Alarm).
By default, these events do not have a priority - they can be activated in any order. A programming option in
HFSS exists to force a priority scheme for the LOC ECS Alarm Events. When this option is enabled, the lower
numbered the ECS event is, the higher priority it has (e.g. LOC ECS 1 Alarm is higher priority than LOC ECS 8
Alarm). With this priority scheme, once a higher priority ECS Event has been activated, an ECS reset must be
performed before a lower priority ECS Event can be activated.
