Operation of the Control Panel
Active Event
•
Displays a message for each disabled point, with DISABLED in the upper left corner of the LCD as well as other information about
the point.

2.12.1 How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Fire Control Point
A point with a Type ID of
FIRE
CONTROL
is used for air handler shutdown, intended to override normal operating automatic functions.
Activation of a
FIRE
CONTROL
point causes the control panel to do the following:
•
Initiates the monitor module Control-by-Event
•
Send a message to the panel display, History buffer, installed printer and annunciators
•
Does NOT light an indicator at the control panel
•
Displays
ACTIVE
in the upper left corner of the LCD, as well as a
FIRE
CONTROL
Type Code and other information specific to the
device
2.12.2 How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Non-fire Point
A point with a Type ID of
NON
-
FIRE
is used for energy management or other non-fire situations.
NON
-
FIRE
point operation does not affect
control panel operation, nor does it display a message at the panel LCD. Activation of a
NON
-
FIRE
point activates CBE—but does not
cause any indication on the control panel. For example, you can program a
NON
-
FIRE
point to turn lights in a zone to a lower setting when
activated. In this case, when the point activates the control panel activates the point’s CBE to turn the lights down without any audio or
visual indication on the control panel.
2.13 Operation of Special System Timers, and Output Delay Time
2.13.1 System (Panel) Timers
There are user-programmable time delays for four specific functions: Alarm Verification, AC Fail, Silence Inhibit, and Auto Silence.
Refer to this panel’s programming manual for instructions on viewing or modifying these values. (They may be viewed only in program-
ming mode.)
Alarm Verification Timer (VERIFY TIME)
A timer that directs the control panel to ignore a fire alarm for a smoke detector, programmed for Alarm Verification, while the Alarm
Verification Timer is counting. The timer value can be set from 0-60 seconds, and may not exceed 30 seconds for ULC installations.
Table 2.3 contains a summary of how the Alarm Verification Timer works.
AC Fail Delay Timer
This timer delays the time from the start of AC failure to when the fault is reported. The timer value may be set to none, or from 1-12
hours. A value of “none” will cause immediate notification. The onboard fault relay and municipal box output will activate when the
countdown is complete. Note that this panel notifies the central station communicator as soon as AC failure occurs, and the central sta-
tion communicator follows its own programmed schedule for reporting the failure.

If this event occurs
The control panel does this
A second fire alarm occurs while the Alarm
Verification Timer is counting
Ignores the Alarm Verification Timer and alarms are reported by the panel for both detectors.
The Alarm Verification Timer elapses and a fire alarm
still exists
Activates the fire alarm
The Alarm Verification Timer expires and a fire alarm
no longer exists
The control panel returns to normal operation and increments the verification counter
