This section contains descriptions of terms essential to know when programming the
control panel.
Alarm History
See History buffer.
Alarm Verification Timer
A user-defined global software timer function (set using
option 7, System) that can reduce the number of nuisance alarms. When you select
Alarm Verification for a detector, the control panel delays an alarm signal for a
user-specified time period. (The control panel ignores the Alarm Verification Timer if it
detects another alarm during the verification period.)
All Systems Normal message
A message that displays, along with the current system
date and time, on the bottom line of the LCD display during normal operation of the
control panel.
Auto Silence Timer
A user-defined global software timer that functions like pressing
the
ALARM SILENCE
key. For example, select 600. The control panel silences all active
outputs programmed as silenceable. When the timer reaches 600 seconds (10 minutes),
the control panel turns off all active outputs programmed as silenceable.
Autoprogram
A software routine that directs the control panel to identify and
automatically load SLC-connected devices into the program with default values for all
parameters. The Autoprogram Finds and displays all new or missing intelligent
detectors and modules--while ignoring devices already installed in memory--so you can
edit default option selections. Typically, you Autoprogram the control panel as a first
step in a new installation.
control module
An addressable control module that a) switches power to a Style Y or
Style Z NAC; or b) functions as a Form-C control relay.
CBE
(Control-by-Event) A programming method that lets you map inputs and outputs
to provide a variety of output responses based on various initiating conditions (events).
CBE list
Inputs (detectors and monitor modules) and outputs (control modules, NACs,
and Panel Circuits) provide up to five zone selections for CBE programming.
Drift Compensation
An algorithm which permits the maintenance of a constant
smoke detector sensitivity by accounting for environmental contaminants and other
factors.
download
A function for loading a system program from a file on a personal computer
and storing the program in system memory of the control panel. Also see Veri•Fire.
History buffer
The control panel maintains a history buffer of the last 800 events, each
with a time and date stamp. History events include all alarms, troubles, operator actions,
and programming entries. The control panel also maintains a 200-event Alarm History
buffer, which consists of the 200 most recent alarm events from the 800-event history
buffer.
latching
An attribute of a device that keeps it in an active state until the condition
causing the activation is corrected and the panel is reset.
missing device
A device that exists in a program, but is not found by the control panel
during Autoprogram, typically because the device is disconnected.
FMM module
An addressable monitor module that monitors conventional initiating
devices.
