from the Panel" above to read the message and steps 1 through 4 in , "Writing a Message to the Panel" to write the message.
3.6 Programmed Activation by FACP
The table below defines the capabilities for the Notifier FACPs that can automatically trigger the audio system using the audio system’s
“FACP Data Bus”. The FACP annunciator bus serves as “FACP Data Bus” to the audio system. Note that automatic triggering capability
is dependent upon the FACP model, FACP version, and which annunciator bus protocol is used.
When using the FACP ACS-bus protocol, address 01 must be enabled in the FACP programming. (Refer to the FACP user manual.)
When using the ANN-Bus protocol, the FACP will automatically detect the audio system connection during annunciator auto-configura-
tion. No ANN-Bus address selection is necessary at the FACP.
Once the FACP can communicate with the audio system, FACP zones Z33 through Z56 become dedicated as output zones for speaker
circuits 1 through 24 respectively. FACP zone Z32 is dedicated to turn on all speaker circuits. FACP programming allows association
between any addressable SLC input device (module, detectors) with any of the speaker circuits. In addition, 1 of 14 messages can be
generated over the selected speaker circuit.
