The AFP-300/400 NION supports the commands listed below. Different
commands are accessible depending on what device type you right click.

•
Acknowledge

displayed at the Workstation.
Figure 2-2: AFP-300/400
Sample Right-Click Menu
•
Signal Silence
- This will silence the AFP-300/400 panel. See
section 2.4 for information regarding viewing all silenced panels.
•
Signal Resound
- Signal resound makes the panel turn on all outputs that are programmed as silence
(this presumes a silence already happened).
•
Reset
- Like Signal Silence, this will silence as well as reset the AFP-300/400 panel
•
Manual Evacuate (Confirmed)
- This command performs a test on all notification devices being moni-
tored by the AFP-300/400 panel. This command performs the same function as pressing the Alarm
Activate button on the panel.
•
Enable (accessible for Loop Device, Panel Circuit, or Zone)
- This will enable the specified device,
allowing the AFP-300/400 NION to monitor the point, and allowing the Workstation to annunciate it.
•
Disable (accessible for Loop Device, Panel Circuit, or Zone)
- This will disable the specified device.
The device will not be monitored until it is re-enabled.
•
Activate (accessible for SLC Output, Panel Circuit, or Zone)
- This will manually activate the specified
device, and the Workstation will report a corresponding event.
•
Deactivate (accessible for SLC Output, Panel Circuit, or Zone)
- This will manually deactivate the
specified device, and the workstation will display a system message reporting the action.
•
Clear Panel History
- This remotely clears the AFP-300/400’s history. The history is stored inside the
AFP300/400 as a sequence of characters and is not accessible to the plug-in.
•
Clear Verification Counter
- Selecting this option clears the Verification Counter. When the panel
detects that a detector has enough smoke to cause it to go into alarm, a check is made to see if verifica-
tion is turned on for that device. If not, the alarm occurs immediately. If so, a timer is started and the alarm
is deferred. When the timer times out, the smoke level of the detector is checked again; if it is still enough
to make the detector go into alarm, then the detector goes into alarm. But if the smoke level has subsided
below the alarm level, the verification counter is incremented. The whole mechanism is designed to guard
against false alarms caused by fast variations in the ambient atmosphere, such as dust. The verification
counter basically counts the number of times the detector would have given a false alarm due to ambient
conditions.
NOTE: Performing the Acknowledge command from
the plug-in will acknowledge the message at the AFP-
300/400 panel but not at the Workstation.
NOTE: Performing the Reset command on a panel that has an
active alarm will display an Alarm-Off condition at the workstation.
NOTE: The Deactivate command is not
intended to silence active alarm outputs.
