Chapter 2: Front panel programming 
90  Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual 
Option Description 
normally open devices immediately places the panel in a supervisory state 
and turns on supervisory LEDs and relays. Circuit cannot be restored until 
devices are restored to normal and the panel is reset. 
Supervisory nonlatching: For supervisory devices. Momentary activation of 
normally open devices immediately places the panel in a supervisory state 
and turns on the supervisory LED and relay. Annunciation remains active until 
the input restores. The panel does not have to be reset. 
  Duct detector 
Duct alarm: For duct smoke detectors. All activations are immediately 
considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored to 
normal and the panel is reset. 
Duct supervisory (latching and nonlatching): For duct supervisory devices. 
Momentary activation of normally open devices immediately places the panel 
in a supervisory state and turns on supervisory LEDs and relays. Circuit cannot
be restored until devices are restored to normal and the panel is reset. 
  Heat detector 
Heat: For heat detectors and contact devices. All activations are immediately 
considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored to 
normal and the panel is reset. 
Heat alarm RoR: For heat detectors and contact devices with rate-of-rise. All 
activations are immediately considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored 
until devices are restored to normal and the panel is reset. 
  Input modules 
Alarm: For smoke detectors and contact devices. All activations are 
immediately considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are
restored to normal and the panel is reset. 
Alarm Class A: For modules wired to Class A circuits composed of pull stations, 
four-wire smoke detectors, or other dry contact alarm initiating devices. 
Modules with this device type trigger active (alarm) events. 
Audible: For NACs connected to audible notification appliances that turn off 
when Signal Silence is pressed 
Continuous Nonsilenceable: For modules wired to a Class B circuits that 
output an unsynchronized signal that does not turn off when you press Signal 
Silence. 
Continuous Nonsilenceable (Latched): For latched output modules wired to a 
Class B circuits that output an unsynchronized signal that does not turn off 
when you press Signal Silence. 
Continuous Non-Silenceable Class A: For modules wired to Class A circuits that
output an unsynchronized signal that does not turn off when you press Signal 
Silence. 
Continuous Non-Silenceable Class A (Latched): For latched output modules 
wired to a Class A circuits that output an unsynchronized signal that does not 
turn off when you press Signal Silence.
