To the left of each program function, you’ll find a keypad shortcut, which contains
a series of keypad entries required to access the program function. All shortcuts
start with the control panel in normal operation.

1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel
The NFS2-640 is an intelligent, field-programmable Fire Alarm Control Panel. Field-programming
the control panel lets you customize the fire alarm system by selecting and setting program options
for intelligent/addressable detectors and modules, and Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs).
This manual provides information for programming using the NFS2-640 keypad connected to the
control panel. VeriFire™ Tools must be used for programming if no keypad is used, or if a network
control annunciator is used as the keypad in either a network or standalone application. Refer to
VeriFire™ Tools for information on programming without the NF2S-640 keypad, and the NF2S-
640 Installation Manual and NCA-2 Manual for installation information.
For details on control panel operation, refer to the NFS2-640 Operations Manual.
The NF2S-640 provides two methods for field-programming the control panel:
• Using the built-in “Program Change” interface
• The VeriFire™ Tools Programming Utility
