5.10 Retrieving the ISD’s VID number
Access Level 3
For input of small quantities of ISD units (say <15) you may use this ‘retrieval process,’ instead of using the
‘Manual Set Addr’ menu or the laptop database download program. This feature will automatically detect the
VID number of an ISD and will have to be correlated to an Address (Suite number). This operation may be
performed with a temporary installation of the NMC or using a permanently field-installed NMC.
Plug an ISD into a nearby receptacle.
Select [CONFIGURE] [CONFIGURE ISD] [AUTO SET ADDR].
Enter the 5 digit ‘ADDRESS’ of the ISD such as the suite number or room number followed by ENT. (Refer to
5.17 – for Message Units at this point). The suite number should be entered such as: 00103 or 0206B or 0206B*
(* used for Message Unit only, see 5.10). This will start the process of retrieving the VID. When the VID is
retrieved, it will be displayed. Hit ‘ENT’ again to accept the VID. (The Network ID remains a constant).
Remember to write this ‘Address’ (the suite/room number) in the space provided on the rear housing
of the ISD unit. The ‘Address’ becomes the permanent identity of the ISD device.
This process will retrieve the VID number for ONE UNIT ONLY and ONLY ONE UNIT AT A TIME. Unplug the
ISD and repeat these steps with all other ISD units.
NOTE: This process will not enroll the units.
See Sections 5.13 –single ISD and 5.15 (single ISD) for Enrolling ISDs onto the Network (Auto program). This
process is only intended to replace the ‘MANUAL SET ADDR’ operation for single ISD unit entry whereby the VID
number is entered manually in lieu of being automatically retrieved.
5.11 Message Units
Access Level 1
A Message Unit is an ISD that will notify an individual, such as the Building Manager, of a trouble condition on the
system. A Message Unit may be installed anywhere on the NMC network and any number of Message Units may
be created.
When a trouble is indicated by the NMC, it will cause the ISD Message Unit to ‘chirp’. This trouble indication
signal generated by the Message Unit is a brief chirp on 5 second intervals for up to 30 minutes.
The message unit will stay in ‘chirp mode’ until either the Press to Silence button (Press to Test on US models)
on the Message Unit ISD is pressed or the NMC ‘ACK’ button is pressed or the NMC trouble condition is
corrected and restored.
