Programming—IFC-1010/2020 Programming

Software Type IDs
All point addresses for devices, software zones, and annunciator points
must be programmed with an appropriate Software Type Identification.
Software Type IDs allow the IFC-1010/2020 to identify the type and
configuration of specific devices, zones, and annunciator points associated
with the panel, and the Type ID selection during programming determines
how the point will function in the system.
Type IDs are categorized by groups. There are 18 separate groups of
Software Type IDs, which are defined in the tables on the following pages.
Each table consists of the following format.
•
Type ID - The software type entered by the programmer for a
particular point.
•
Display Label - The characters displayed for addressable devices,
zones, and annunciator points on the control panel during alarm,
trouble, and read status conditions.
•
Type of Device - Type of devices compatible with, and/or description
of operating parameters for, the particular Type ID.
The control panel will not permit the changing of a Software Type ID in
one group to a Software Type ID in another group. To accomplish this, the
device must be reinstated with the Software Type ID of the desired group
by using the Full Point Programming option of the Main Programming
menu.
Note: The XP Transponder reverts to local program operation upon loss
of communications with the IFC-1010/2020. Therefore, use
extreme care when assigning Software Type IDs to
XP Transponder circuits. For instance, an XP circuit assigned
Software Type ID SPSU initiates a supervisory condition under
communication with the IFC-1010/2020, but results in an alarm
condition under local XP Transponder operation.
