10.0 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Configuration of the FW-C2Z, FW-C4Z and FW-C4EZ is accomplished simply by DIP Switch and Jumper Settings.
For DIP Switches, 0 = switch “off”, 1 = Switch “on’). On the Main Fire Alarm Board ...

Notes:
& After any Configuration Switches are changed, it is necessary to perform a System Reset !!
& Only Indicating Circuit 2 may be configured for Visual Devices.
& If Initiating Circuit 3 is configured as Waterflow, the corresponding Verified selection becomes a Retard selection.
Note: Do not use Retard Operation with any external Retarding device; maximum Retard may not exceed 120 seconds.
& If Initiating Circuit 4 is configured as Alarm, the corresponding Latching selection has no effect.
& If Initiating Circuit 4 is configured as Supervisory, the corresponding Verified selection has no effect.
& The selection of Class A/B (Style Z/Y) Notification Circuits is only a matter of how they are wired. See Connection
Info.
& If Class A (Style D) Initiating Circuits are selected (FW-C2Z, FW-C4Z, FW-C4EZ only), the appropriate Board
Jumpers must also be set. Class B Initiating Circuits 1&2 combine to create Class A Circuit #1, and Class B
Initiating Circuits 3&4 combine to create Class A Circuit #2. DIP Switches for Circuits 3&4 are ignored except for
an FW-C4EZ with a FW-EZM4 Expansion. LED Indicators for Circuits 3&4 are non-functional except for an FW-
C4EZ with a FW-EZM4 Expansion.
