Programmed Activation by FACP
Programming
Any fault in the audio system is sent to the FACP via the FACP Data Bus and is indicated as an annunciator fault on the FACP display.
Column Descriptions for Table 3.2:
•
FACP
- the Fire Alarm Control Panel being used
•
Individual Audio Zone Control via FACP Data Bus
- ACS or ANN-BUS compatible FACPs can control each audio zone on the
NFC-50/100 (refer to Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2.)
•
Individual Control of All Messages
- control of all voice messages in the NFC-50/100 can be accomplished through the FACP Data
Bus or by triggering the CMD inputs (refer to Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2.)
•
Simultaneous Activation of All Audio Zones
- this is a single trip mechanism via a zone on the FACP Data Bus or CMD input trigger
that activates all the audio zones at the same time (refer to Section 3.6.1 and Section 3.6.2.)
3.6.1 FireWarden-100X and FireWarden-100-2
Important Notes:
1.
For proper operation, a message must be assigned to each FACP zone that is programmed to activate an audio speaker circuit.
2.
The message repeat setting on the NFC-50/100 should be set to infinite. This will ensure that lower priority activated zones will
continue to broadcast the voice message.
3.
CMD inputs are not used for activation when the FACP Data Bus is being used, however, 4.7K
Ω
ELRs must still be connected
across CMD3 - CMD8.
4.
When using the ACS communication protocol, a monitor module must be wired to TB1 of the NFC-50/100. Type Code, “MNS
EVENT” must be assigned to the monitor module for mass notification event monitoring. See Figure 2.22 for wiring information.
FACP Programming
The FireWarden-100X and FireWarden-100-2 FACPs must be programmed to operate with the NFC-50/100. The following table sum-
marizes the steps involved in programming the FACPs.
Note 1:
Zone 32 is assigned to all speaker circuits. If an addressable device programmed to Zone 32 is activated, the message pro-
grammed to Zone 32 will be generated to
all
speaker circuits. The exception is when one or more devices programmed to Zones 33
through 40 is also activated. If the newly activated zone is programmed to a message with a higher priority then Zone 32, the higher pri-
ority message will be generated to all circuits.
Note 2:
Messages have a priority scheme with Message 1 having the highest priority and Message 14 having the lowest priority. For
example, If an addressable device activates a speaker circuit programmed to generate Message 14, that message will be generated over
the selected speaker zone. If later, another device activates a speaker circuit programmed to generate Message 3, Message 3 has a higher
priority then Message 5 and will therefore be generated over both activated speaker zones. The highest priority message will always be
generated over all activated speaker circuits.
Note 3:
It is important to note that Message 1 is assigned to Zone 00 (General Alarm) as a default. A message, however, will not be gen-
erated over the speaker circuits unless one of the following programming steps is completed:
•
For General Alarm applications, all input points must have an audio zone assigned to it:
Z32 to activate all audio zones
OR
Z33 to Z56 for specific audio zone control
