F.5 Type Codes for Output Devices
F.5.1 Overview
This section provides Type Codes for control modules and NACs. For instructions on programming
Type Codes, refer to “Modify or Delete a Point (2=point)” on page 19.
F.5.2 Type Codes for Control Modules
A comprehensive list of control module Type Codes, which you can select to change the function of
an control module point.
CO MON
1
CO alarm
Y
No LED will light. Special Function Zone FC
and the sixth CBE zone will activate (sixth
CBE programmable via VeriFire Tools.)
Monitors conventional CO detector
ECS/MN MONITOR
3
MN alarm
Y
Does not light any LEDs, overrides existing
fire event
2
, shuts off silenceable outputs
and all fire activated strobes and activates
CBE.
Monitors mass notification devices
ESC/MN SUPT
supervisory
N
Lights supervisory LED and activates CBE. Monitors mass notification devices
ECS/MN SUPL
3
supervisory
Y
Lights supervisory LED and activates CBE. Monitors mass notification devices.
ECS/MN TROUBLE
MON
3
trouble
N
Indicates trouble on a Mass Notification
device.
Monitors mass notification devices. Will generate a
trouble condition for both open and short conditions.
RF GATEWAY
non-alarm
N
Activates CBE
Provides communication between wireless device and
the fire panel.
1
LED representation of a CO alarm may be performed using an ACS annunciator.
2
If ECS/MN Override is not selected in VeriFire Tools, the fire events take precedence over ESC/MN audio events.
3
This type code is not compatible with FirstCommand applications.

N
NAC
Output that will activate upon receipt of an alarm condition, and remain in the alarm
state until all alarms have been acknowledged. It is programmed as “switch inhibit”.
CONTROL NAC
Y
NAC
Supervised NAC
GEN ALARM
N
NAC
Control Module, an XPC-8 circuit, or an XP5-C (in NAC mode) configured as a
Municipal Box Transmitter for NFPA 72 Auxiliary Fire Alarm Systems applications. This
Type ID can also be used for general alarm activation. It is programmed as “switch
inhibit”.
