Mass Notification Supervisory Event
Operation of the Control Panel
•
Initiates any Control-By-Event actions
•
Does not activates the general alarm zone (Z000) or any devices programmed as General Alarm or Alarm Pending
•
Does not cause any devices programmed as “Resound on Fire” to resound.
Figure 2.9 Mass Notification Alarm Message Display Example
2.8.2 How to Respond to an MN Alarm
If the control panel indicates a MN alarm, the operator can do the following:
1.
To silence the panel sounder:
Press the SILENCE BUZZER key. The local sounder will silence. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to the panel
display, history buffer, installed printers and annunciators. If more than one MN alarm is present on the control panel, Acknowledge
must be pressed for each alarm.
2.
To silence any activated outputs that are programmed as silenceable:
Press the SIGNAL RESOUND ALARM key.
ALARM DEVICES SILENCED
LED light steady. The control panel sends a Signal
Silenced message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
NOTE:
If MN events have priority over fire events, any active silenceable devices that were activated by the fire event will silence when the
MN Alarm occurs.
If fire events have priority over MNS events, silenceable outputs will remain active when an MN Alarm occurs until SIGNAL
RESOUND ALARM is pressed or a system reset is initiated.
3.
Check the MN Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFO soft key to display the MORE INFORMATION
screen and view additional information on the device and possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. (Refer to
Figure 1.9 on page 14 for an example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
4.
Correct the condition causing the MN alarm.
5.
When the alarm condition is corrected, press the RESET key to return the control panel to normal operation (indicated by the
“System Normal” message). The control panel sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed
printer. If both fire and MN alarms are present on the control panel and MN events have priority over fire events, the initial reset
will clear the MN alarm from the control panel. If fire has priority over MN events, a second reset must be initiated to clear the MN
alarm from the panel.
2.8.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the point that initiates the fire alarm. For
example, a monitor module with a
MN
MON
Type ID code means that the monitor module connects to a mass notification device. If the
Type ID code is unfamiliar, refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 53. This appendix is an alphabetical list of Type ID
codes with an explanation of each.
2.9 Mass Notification Supervisory Event
An MN Supervisory point event will occur when a monitor module programmed with an MN supervisory type code activates.
2.9.1 How the Control Panel Indicates an MN Supervisory Point Event
The panel will react differently depending on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
•
Produces a warbling audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
•
Activates the Supervisory relay and any devices programmed as General Supervisory and General Pending
•
Illuminates the
SUPERVISORY
LED (yellow) on the fire panel and any annunciator points programmed for general supervisory
•
Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of supervisory signal being generated
•
Displays
MN
SUPERVISORY
in the upper left corner of the panel display along with information specific to the device
•
Sends a MN Supervisory message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
•
Activates special zone ZF21
•
Does not cause any devices programmed for “Resound on Supervisory” to resound
