How to View Presignal and PAS Selections
You can use the Read Status Entry option to view the current selection for the Presignal function. To do
so, press the keys in sequence:
Note:
For instructions on programming the Presignal function, refer to the
NFS-640 Programming Manual.
The LCD display shows the current selections for the Presignal function. The figure below shows a
sample LCD display of a Presignal function selected for PAS and a Presignal Delay Timer of 60
seconds:

Note:
If any monitor modules are programmed with a
PAS
INHIBIT
Type Code and a fire alarm occurs, zone F0 goes
false and aborts the Presignal Delay Timer.
How to Respond to an Alarm with a Presignal Delay Timer (no PAS)
If an alarm occurs with a Presignal Delay Timer (60-180 seconds), the control panel displays the type of
device and the SLC address of the device causing the alarm. If a second alarm occurs during the
Presignal Delay Timer, the control panel aborts the Presignal Delay Timer and activates all programmed
outputs. A sample Alarm screen for a monitor module is shown below:

The
FIRE

LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses a steady tone. The control panel latches until
the alarm is corrected and you press the S

key to reset the control panel. You have the
duration of the Presignal Delay Timer (60-180 seconds) to respond to the alarm before the control panel
automatically activates all outputs programmed to F0. You can take the following actions:
•
To silence the panel sounder and change the
FIRE

key.
•
To abort the Presignal Delay Timer, turn off the panel sounder and all silenceable output
circuits and light the

key.
•
To manually activate all outputs programmed to F0, press the
DRILL
key. The Manual
Evacuate screen appears, the panel sounder pulses and the
FIRE

LED changes from
flashing to steady. The Manual Evacuate screen and Alarm screen display alternately at
3-second intervals.
