Basic Program
Mass Notification
When used for mass notification, special zones ZF20, ZF21, and ZF22 can be used to signal the
MN event.
NOTE:
During local or network Walk Test, activating a Mass Notification device will activate
associated special function zones according to CBE programming and simulate a Mass
Notification event. Any network nodes, zones, or devices not participating in Walk Test will not
participate in the simulated Mass Notification event.
Special Zones F1-F4
The control panel also provides four Special Zones, F1-F4, which are outputs that do not appear on
the Special Function Change screen. You can program Special Zones F1 to F4 into the CBE of an
output device. Descriptions of F1, F2, F3, and F4 are detailed below:
To view the status of Special Functions F1-F4, use the Read Status function (refer to the
NFS2-640
Operations Manual
).
