Appendix G: Type Codes
G.1 What Are Type Codes?
Type Codes are software selections for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and
output devices (control modules and NACs). Some Type Codes are self-explanatory; that is, the
Type Code matches the function of the device, such as a “Monitor” for a monitor module,
“Smoke(photo)” for a photoelectric detector, and so on. Type codes also provide special functions,
such as activating switches, solenoids, and control panel functions. FlashScan devices are assigned
a special FlashScan code.
G.2 How to Select a Type Code
Type Codes are selected at the Point Programming screens. Refer to the Point Program section of
this manual for instructions.
This appendix contains detailed descriptions of Type Codes for input and output devices, as listed
below:
G.3 Type Codes for Input Devices
G.3.1 Overview
This section provides a list of Type Codes for intelligent detectors and for monitor modules. The
following Point Types light an LED at the panel when activated.
• fire alarm - lights the FIRE ALARM LED
• supervisory - lights the SUPERVISORY LED
• security - lights the SECURITY LED
• trouble - lights the TROUBLE LED
G.3.2 Type Codes for Intelligent Detectors
Following is a list of intelligent detector Type Codes, which specify the type of detector installed at
an SLC address.
