Device type descriptions
Device types determine the operation of the points to which they are assigned. The
following tables contain all possible device types. Available device types depend on
the device and on the marketplace selected for the panel. Some device types are
unavailable in some marketplaces. For this reason, the LCD listing for the selected
device may differ from this table.
Note: To correlate device types with personality codes when programming Signature
Series devices, see Appendix E “Device types to personality codes correlation” on
page 257.

Device type Description
Photo detectors
Smoke 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.
Smoke verified For smoke detectors and contact devices. Two-wire smoke detector
activations are verified (delayed and confirmed) before activating an
alarm. Four-wire smoke detectors and contact devices are not verified
and immediately considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until
devices are restored to normal and the panel is reset.
Supervisory latching For detectors that trigger an active (supervisory) event. Detectors with
this device type remain active until the condition that activated them is
restored and the control panel is reset.
Supervisory nonlatching For detectors that trigger an active (supervisory) event. Detectors with
this device type remain active until the condition that activated them is
restored. Resetting the control panel is not required.
Ion detectors
Smoke 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.
