NFS2-640/E Installation Manual —

Appendix C: Canadian Applications
C.1 Standalone Application
C.1.1 NFS2-640/E with KDM-R2
If using KDM-R2 as the primary display for NFS2-640/E, an ACS series annunciator must be
mounted adjacent to the panel or within NFS2-640/E enclosure.
C.1.2 NFS2-640/E with NCA-2
Network Control Annunciator (NCA-2) with 640-character, multi-line display complies with ULC
requirements when used as the primary display for NFS2-640/E.
C.2 Local Network Application
To meet ULC requirements, the network’s Manual Controls may only be operated from one
location at any given time. When panels are networked (using NCM Network Communications
Modules or High-Speed Network Communications Modules), use AKS-1B Key Switch on each
panel’s Primary Annunciator to enable its functions. NCA-2 may be a Primary Annunciator when
AKS-1B is installed. Refer to the
NCA-2 Manual
for more information.
The NCA-2 or Network Control Station (NCS) may be employed as a Display and Control Center.
In the event that communication fails between the panels and the Control Center, the panels will
continue to function in local/standalone mode.
C.3 Automatic Alarm Signal Silence
If selecting this feature for a system requiring annunciators, consult the Authority Having
Jurisdiction.
C.4 Annunciator Applications
1. In Canada, the ACM series annunciator modules must be used to annunciate the fire alarm
input points/zones only, if no multi-line sequential display is installed.
2. For Canadian applications, the following LED colors must be employed:
– Red must be used to indicate active alarm inputs.
– Yellow must be used to indicate supervisory, burglary or trouble signals.
– Green must be used to indicate the presence of power or an activated output.
C.5 Releasing Devices
Supervision for shorts is required; use REL devices and type code R
EL
C
KT
ULC.
(With on-board NACs, use REL-2.2K; with FCM-1 modules use REL-47K. Refer to Section 4.7.5
“Connecting Releasing Devices to the FCM-1-REL Control Module” for details.)
