44 Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual
Table 13: Monitor device types
Device type Description
Monitor Monitoring of normally open switches for other functions (fire door
position, etc.). Not approved for use under ULC 527 in Canada.
Table 14: Output device types
Device type Description
Continuous nonsilenceable For nonsilenceable strobes and notification appliances that self-generate
a temporal pattern
Continuous nonsilenceable
(latched)
For latching strobes and notification appliances that self-generate a
temporal pattern
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.
Continuous silenceable For strobes and notification appliances that self generate a noncoded
tone
Genesis audible visible
silence
For Genesis and Enhanced Integrity horns and strobes. Genesis and
Enhanced Integrity appliances maintain synchronization per UL 1971. For
Genesis devices only, connected horns can be silenced and strobes turn
off.
Genesis nonsilenceable For Genesis and Enhanced Integrity horns and strobes. Genesis and
Enhanced Integrity appliances maintain synchronization per UL 1971. For
Genesis devices only, connected horns cannot be silenced and strobes
on the same two-wire circuit flash until the panel is reset.
Monitor Monitor: Monitoring of normally open switches for other functions (fire
door position, etc.). Not approved for use under ULC 527 in Canada.
Relay nonsilence NC For relay devices that open when activated and remain open when you
press Signal Silence.
Relay nonsilence NC
(latched)
For latching relay devices that open when activated and remain open
when you press Signal Silence.
Relay nonsilence NO For relay devices that close when activated and remain closed when you
press Signal Silence.
Relay nonsilence NO
(latched)
For latching relay devices that close when activated and remain closed
when you press Signal Silence.
Relay nonsilenceable For relay devices that do not follow signal silence
Relay nonsilenceable
(latched)
For relay devices that do not follow signal silence and do not restore until
manually unlatched
Relay silence For relays that turn off when you press Signal Silence.
