Programming
3.2 FireShield Technical Reference Manual
Using the factory default settings
The panel comes from the factory programmed with a pre-
defined set of defaults. The default settings are:
Option Default setting
Find annunciators None found
Auto signal silence timer None
Aux power reset No
Signal silence/reset inhibit timer None
IDC zone types Alarm (unverified)
All IDCs activate all NACs
IDC class Class B
NAC class Class B
NAC output (NAC1 – NAC4) GENESIS
NAC silenceable Silenceable
For a more detailed list of defaults, see Appendix B,
“Programming templates.”
If you want to use the factory programmed settings as they
are, you do not need to perform any programming. If you do
not want to use the panel’s default settings, refer to “Custom
programming the panel.”
Note: You must run the Find Annunciators program option
after adding or removing a remote annunciator. The remote
annunciators will not operate properly until the panel detects
them. These include the FSRSI, FSRZI-A, and FSRRM.
Reloading the factory default settings
When you reload defaults, you return the panel to the factory-
programmed settings. The primary purpose for loading the
defaults is to return the panel to its original settings if the need
arises. You can then start fresh by using these settings or
custom program one or more options.

1. Install program jumper PRG.
The panel common LEDs flash and the panel enters a
trouble state. The trouble buzzer sounds.
2. Press Remote Disconnect to select the Load Defaults
program option.
3. Press Reset to select Yes, the setting to reload the factory
default settings.
4. Press Panel Silence to perform the reload.
The trouble buzzer sounds a long beep as confirmation.
5. Exit program mode by removing the program jumper or
continue to the next topic to custom program the panel.
Refer to “Custom programming the panel” for more
information.
Using an FSDACT
If you have an FSDACT connected to your system, it must be
recognized by the panel before programming. Also, if you
remove an FSDACT from your system, it must be removed
from the panel’s memory.
To do this, install the program jumper (PRG), then remove the
program jumper. This allows the panel to recognize that an
FSDACT was installed or removed from the system.
Custom programming the panel
FireShield functionality can be custom programmed when the
factory defaults do not meet your needs. The following
options can be custom programmed:
1. Load defaults
2. Find annunciators
3. Auto signal silence timer
4. Aux power reset
5. Signal silence/reset inhibit timer
6. IDC zone types (and NACs that activate)
7. IDC class
8. NAC class
9. NAC output
10. NAC silenceable
11. Program FSDACT (if installed)
Tip: We recommend that you program the options in the order
they are listed. This matches the order of the LEDs as you
increment through each option. The lighting pattern of the
LEDs corresponds to the program option you are
programming and follows the binary number pattern
associated with each row of LEDs.
