F.5  Type Codes for Output Devices
F.5.1  Overview
This section provides Type Codes for control modules and NACs. For instructions on programming 
Type Codes, refer to “Modify or Delete a Point (2=point)” on page 19.
F.5.2  Type Codes for Control Modules
A comprehensive list of control module Type Codes, which you can select to change the function of 
an control module point. 
CO MON
1
CO alarm Y No LED will light. Special Function Zone FC 
and the sixth CBE zone will activate (sixth 
CBE programmable via VeriFire Tools.)
Monitors conventional CO detector
ECS/MN MONITOR
3
MN alarm Y Does not light any LEDs, overrides existing 
fire event
2
, shuts off silenceable outputs 
and all fire activated strobes and activates 
CBE.
Monitors mass notification devices
ESC/MN SUPT  supervisory N Lights supervisory LED and activates CBE. Monitors mass notification devices
ECS/MN SUPL
3
supervisory Y Lights supervisory LED and activates CBE. Monitors mass notification devices.
ECS/MN TROUBLE 
MON
3
trouble N Indicates trouble on a Mass Notification 
device.
Monitors mass notification devices. Will generate a 
trouble condition for both open and short conditions.
RF GATEWAY non-alarm N Activates CBE Provides communication between wireless device and 
the fire panel.
1 
LED representation of a CO alarm may be performed using an ACS annunciator.
2
 If ECS/MN Override is not selected in VeriFire Tools, the fire events take precedence over ESC/MN audio events.
3 
This type code is not compatible with FirstCommand applications.
Table F.2  Type Codes for Monitor Modules  (2 of 2)
Table F.3  Control Module Type Codes  (1 of 2)
Type Code Silenceable (Y/N) Configuration Device Function
CONTROL Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
RELAY Y Form-C relay Relay output
BELL CIRCUIT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
STROBE CKT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
HORN CIRCUIT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
AUDIBLE CKT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
SPEAKER Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance 
ISOLATED NAC Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance, used with audio isolators. Activates even if 
there is a short on its NAC circuit. For ULC installations only. 
ISOLATED SPK Y NAC Supervised NAC for speaker circuits, used with audio isolators. Activates even if there 
is a short on its audio circuit. For ULC installations only. 
REL END BELL N NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
blank Y NAC Supervised NAC (for use when no other Type Code applies)
REL CKT ULC* N NAC Releasing Circuit, power-limited, supervised for opens, shorts and ground faults 
(always non-silenceable)
RELEASE CKT* N NAC Releasing circuit, nonpower-limited, supervised for opens and ground faults
RELEA.FORM C* N Form-C Relay Relay output, contacts operate upon release
REL AUDIBLE Y NAC NAC, activated upon release
NONRESET CTL N Form-C Relay and NAC Relay output, unaffected by “System Reset” command
TELEPHONE N NAC Standard Telephone circuit
INSTANT RELE N NAC NAC, short = normal; supervised for open circuits and ground faults. Always non-
silenceable and switch-inhibited.
ALARMS PEND. N NAC Output that will activate upon receipt of an alarm condition, and remain in the alarm 
state until all alarms have been acknowledged. It is programmed as “switch inhibit”.
CONTROL NAC Y NAC Supervised NAC
GEN ALARM N NAC Control Module, an XPC-8 circuit, or an XP5-C (in NAC mode) configured as a 
Municipal Box Transmitter for NFPA 72 Auxiliary Fire Alarm Systems applications. This 
Type ID can also be used for general alarm activation. It is programmed as “switch 
inhibit”.
