FIRE GLOSSARY
EZM Assignments
The "EZM Assignments" tab in the System Assignment screen in PCD-Windows Quickloader download software is used to
setup the descriptions, type, and PGM output for all the EZM's used in an installation. The EZM assignment types are:
4 Zone Burg - A GEMC-EZM8 configured as a 4 zone device, wired to the Burg bus.
4 Zone Fire - A GEMC-EZM8 configured as a 4 zone device, wired to the Fire bus.
4 Zone NAC EXT - A GEMC-NACXX configured as a NAC extender wired to the Fire bus.
4 Zone Fire PS - The GEMC-12V2APS wired to the Fire bus.
4 Zone Burg PS - The GEMC-12V2APS wired to the Burg bus.
8 Zone Burg - A GEMC-EZM8 configured as an 8 zone device, wired to the Burg bus.
8 Zone Fire - A GEMC-EZM8 configured as a 8 zone device, wired to the Fire bus.
4 Zone Burg- keypad - The integral GEMC-BK1 Burglary keypad EZM wired to the Burg bus
Fire Drill Zones
Select either an unused zone dedicated for use as a Fire Drill zone or select a currently used Fire zone that will also be used
as a Fire Drill Zone (we recommend using a dedicated zone, and program its Zone Description as a "Fire Drill"). Once the
zone is selected, in PCD-Windows Quickloader's NAC/Outputs Assignment screen (NAC/Output Options tab) program the
zone to activate outputs desired to be turned on during a fire drill. To initiate a fire drill, enter the GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad
Function menu and select the "Do Fire Drill" option, and the system will activate the NAC's programmed for the selected Fire
Drill Zone to go into alarm. "Fire Alarm", the zone number and the zone description will display on all GEMC-FK1 Fire key-
pads.
Fire Keypad Supervision Trouble
The system will always enunciate Fire keypad troubles and report them to the central station (except local systems). Note: If
any Fire keypad troubles or Fire relay board troubles are detected, a "peripheral device trouble" ("E330" in Point ID, "IA" in
SIA) will be sent to the central station; if any Fire keypad trouble restores or relay board trouble restores are detected, a
"peripheral device trouble restore" ("R330" in Point ID, "IA" in SIA) will be sent to the central station. See also Fire Trouble
Resound.
Fire SLC Loop Trbl
A short on a Class B SLC loop or an open / short on a Class A loop is detected in a GEMC-FW-SLC. See E96 in the Keypad
Trouble Messages table earlier in this manual.
Fire SLC Recv Memory Failure
The GEMC-FW-SLC program does not match the panel program.
Fire SLC Recv No Resp
GEMC-FW-SLC stopped responding to polls due to malfunction, incorrect address, or connector missing or incorrect.
Fire Trouble Resound (required UL864)
Trouble sounders may be silenced by unlocking the Fire keypad and pressing the RESET button. Troubles not restored will
"resound" (the keypad sound will beep and the Trouble icon will flash) at least once every 24 hours until the condition is cor-
rected (note that Fire wireless troubles resound every 4 hours). Enable Fire Trouble Resound to report to the central
station when a Fire system trouble resounds (in addition, if Fire Trouble Resound is programmed, a keypad supervision trou-
ble/restore will report and Relay Board supervision troubles/restores will also report. Program in Quickloader System As-
signment screen, System Reporting and Outputs tab. See also Report Fire Keypad Supervision Trouble.
Fire Alarm Verification (Not for use in California)
Fire Zones programmed for "Fire Alarm Verification" will, when tripped, cause all zones to power down for 5 seconds. After
this 5-second power-down time, power is restored and a 20-second retard time is started. Thereafter, the zone will be active
again. This represents a total processing delay of 25 seconds from the time the alarm is first detected. If an alarm condition
still exists at this time or reoccurs within 100 seconds, an alarm will be initiated, otherwise the zone will return to its original
state. NOTE: A zone programmed for "Fire Alarm Verification" must be programmed as a "Fire Zone" as well. Do not
program for wireless devices. Note: The GEMC-WL-SMK does not incorporate Fire Alarm Verification and thus is not
compliant with ANSI/SIA-CP-01.
Fire Reset
When selected, pressing RESET on an unlocked GEMC-FK1 Fire keypad causes the selected output to change state (on to
off, off to on) for the time selected in "Fire Reset Duration". Resets GEMC-F8ZCPIM zones and re-settable power output for
latching 4-wire smoke detectors and similar devices that require power to be removed for reset. See NAC Features
Full upload, and then put panel into service
This selection, in the PCD-Windows Quickloader Panel Communications screen, operates in Local, Telco, and TCP/IP
modes. When this option is checked, uploads are first performed into the current account's User area, then the Dealer area,
then the Description area of the control panel. After the data is uploaded, Quickloader immediately performs an error check; if
no errors are found, Quickloader will send a command to the panel to remove the system trouble (E28). If errors are found,
