SWITCH
MANUAL PULL
Use this switch type for manual pull stations. This input is always 
latched. The switch can clear only when an alarm is reset. This 
switch type has the highest fire priority; it overrides any other type of 
fire alarm.
WATERFLOW 
Latching 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. 
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. 
Non Latching
FIRE SUPER-
VISORY
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.
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, the fire drill ends.
SILENCE
This system-level switch is an alternative way to silence the fire 
system. It has the same effect as pressing the Silence key.
RESET
This system-level switch is an alternative way to reset the fire 
system. It has the same effect as pressing the Reset key.
