Programming
SWITCH
MAN_PULL
Use this switch type for manual pull stations. This input is 
always latched. The switch can clear only when an alarm is 
reset. 
WATERFLOW 
Use this switch type for monitoring water flow in a sprinkler 
system. Switch closure will cause a sprinkler alarm. Water 
flow switches can be programmed as latching or non-latching. 
You can program a delay of up to 90 seconds to be used with 
a water flow switch. The delay allows for normal, brief 
changes in sprinkler system water pressure. The water flow 
alarm will not activate unless the switch is active for the 
programmed delay time. 
Waterflow delay of the FACP and the waterflow device shall 
not exceed 90 seconds.
If a delay is used, the system begins counting down when the 
switch closes. If the switch opens (restores) before the timer 
expires, a water flow alarm is not generated. If the water flow 
switch remains closed after the timer expires, a water flow 
alarm will be generated. 
SUPERVISORY Non Latching
Use this switch type for tamper monitoring of sprinklers and 
other fire protection devices. If a contact closes, a sprinkler 
supervisory event will be generated. Supervisory switches can 
be latching or non-latching.
FIRE DRILL
System-level, non latching switch. This switch is an alternative 
way of causing a fire drill. It has the same operation as the fire 
drill option available from the annunciator. When the switch is 
activated, a fire drill begins; when the switch is de-activated, a 
fire drill ends.
SILENCE
System-level switch provides an alternate way to silence the 
system; same effect as pressing the Silence key.
RESET
System-level switch provides an alternate way to reset the 
system; same effect as pressing the Reset key.
PAS_ACK
Positive acknowledge switch. This switch must be used in 
zones programmed as Positive Alarm Sequence (see 
Table 9.1).
If an acknowledge switch closes when an alarm or trouble 
condition is not already in progress, a trouble will occur. 
You must use a UL listed normally open, momentary switch 
type. The switch must be rated at 5V, 100 mA (minimum) and 
be used with an EOL resistor for supervision.
SWITCH
(cont.)
ZN_AUX1
Latching
Use these switch types if you want to monitor special zone-
level conditions (such as operation of a fan or damper).
Non Latching
ZN_AUX2
Latching
Non Latching
SYS_AUX1
Latching
Use these switch types if you want to monitor special system-
wide conditions (such as operation of a fan or damper).
Non Latching
SYS_AUX2
Latching
Non Latching
DETECT SW
Used to monitor conventional 4-wire detectors, a contact 
closure will generate a detector alarm event.
TAMPER
Latching
Performs identically to a supervisory switch, but will be 
indicated as a tamper switch on the LCD annunciator.
Non Latching
MAN REL Manual release switch, typically a pull station.
ILOCK Interlock release switch input.
