Device type
Description
Smoke verified + CO monitor
nonlatching
For smoke + CO detectors that trigger an alarm verify event first, and then trigger
an active alarm event only after confirming the alarm condition (smoke) or trigger
a monitor nonlatching event (CO). [1]
[1] Supports Standalone mode of operation.

Device type
Description
2Wire Class A
Allows for the monitoring of two-wire conventional smoke detectors in a
Class A circuit (that do not require alarm verification) and normally open
contact initiating devices on the same circuit. [1]
2Wire Class B
Allows for the monitoring of two-wire conventional smoke detectors in a
Class B circuit (that do not require alarm verification) and normally open
contact initiating devices on the same circuit. [1]
2Wire verify Class A
Allows for the monitoring of two-wire conventional smoke detectors in a
Class A circuit (that require alarm verification). [1]
2Wire verify Class B
Allows for the monitoring of two-wire conventional smoke detectors in a
Class B circuit (that require alarm verification). [1]
Alarm
For smoke detectors and contact devices. All activations are immediately
considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored to
normal and the panel is reset. [1]
Duct alarm
For duct smoke detectors. All activations are immediately considered as
alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored to normal and
the panel is reset. [1]
Heat
For heat detectors and contact devices. All activations are immediately
considered as alarms. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored
to
normal and the panel is reset. [1]
Pull station
For pull station devices. All activations are immediately considered as
alarms. [1]
Remote drill
For a remote switch that when activated, starts the panel’s drill operation.
Remote reset
For a remote switch that when activated, resets the panel.
Remote signal silence
For a remote switch that when activated, silences the signaling devices.
Two-wire smoke detector activations are verified (delayed and confirmed)
before activating an alarm. Four-wire smoke detectors and contact devices
are not verified and are considered alarm immediately.
Waterflow
For connecting vane type and pressure flow switches. Activations are
considered as alarms. A 16-second alarm delay applies to waterflow
activations. Circuit cannot be restored until devices are restored to normal
and the panel is reset. Waterflow activations do not invoke in-suite signal
silence. [1]
