IDNAC

As with IDNet, the user should have a list of IDNAC addressable notification 
appliances and addresses when checking out an IDNAC installation. The 
IDNAC information can be saved, same as the IDNet information. Refer to 
the section on PC Upload.

The TSIT is connected to the IDNAC channel the same way as connection to 
the IDNet channel. Red to IDNAC +, Black to IDNAC-, Green to earth. If the 
channel has multiple T-Taps, be sure that all wires are connected for the 
scan. When dealing with multiple T-Taps, scan each one separately then 
merge the results using the PC tool. 

The IDNAC Test (Menu Selection Detailed Scan) performs a series of tests 
on the IDNAC channel, very similar to the tests for IDNet. The TSIT will 
communicate with IDNAC devices, determine candela setting, detect 
duplicates, and determine if a device is set for Alert or Alarm operation. Any 
device LED can be activated from the TSIT. The TSIT will not power the 
appliances into alarm mode. 

At the completion of the scan, review the 
summary of devices detected and compare 
to the list of devices that are supposed to be 
installed.

Follow the on-screen options to navigate 
through the menu. Press ENT to review the 
results of the scan. Using the up/down 

arrows, navigate to the desired option. The choices are to review Totals, 
review Totals with Mode, review by Address, review Errors or activate the 
Power Option. When reviewing by address, the address of the device is 
shown in brackets. 

Use the up/down arrows to scroll through 
the list of detected addresses. Note that any 
missing devices will be represented by gaps 
in the devices detected. If the scrolling goes 
from device address 3 to device address 5, 
no device was detected at address 4.

The image to the right shows information 
that can be displayed after executing “IDNAC Test”. The device address is 
displayed in brackets. Beneath, the device type info indicates this is a Wall
