Note:
Manual activation of a function by switch command overrides
existing mode of operation. The FCCA must be reset from the head end
after manual activation.
Four/Six Channel System Operation
Detection of a fire by the system activates the FCCA-4/6 and places the
Channel 1 "fire area" alarm signal on the “Fire Floor” riser and the
“other area” alert signal on the “A” riser, SIGA Channel 1. Either the
TONE and/or TAPE LED’s will illuminate, depending on the source of
the alarm signal, and its destination. Automatic distribution of the fire
area signals from the Channel 1 & 2 risers is done by other portions of
the alarm system. Additional floors may be manually switched in for
fire area (Channel 1) alarm signal distribution using the RASP, SAN,
or FCCS switch panel. RASP, SAN, or FCCD displays may be used to
monitor speaker circuit status.
