Panel Circuit
A circuit on a module connected to the control panel through connector
J1 or J2 on the control panel. The control panel identifies a Panel Circuit with the
addressing convention Px-x. For example P1-4, indicates Panel Circuit 4 on the first
module connected to the control panel.
point
A system memory address occupied by an addressable SLC device, Software
Zone, or annunciator. For example, the control panel considers “1M102”, a module on
SLC 1 at SLC address 102, as a point.
panel sounder
The piezo sounder on control panel, that pulses when troubles and
alarms occur.
Silence Inhibit Timer
A user-defined timer that disables the
ALARM
SILENCE
key
function for the programmed time (0-300 seconds) when a fire alarm occurs. The timer
starts at the first alarm and restarts with each new alarm.
SLC (Signaling Line Circuit)
A physical wire loop used to connect addressable
detectors and modules to the control panel. The AFC-600 provides two SLCs: SLC 1
which connects to TB5 and SLC 2 which connects to TB6.
Software Zone
A label, internal to the fire alarm system, assigned to a group of
addressable devices.
status banner
A text message in an LCD display that typically provides the
description of the device or the status of a device.
Switch Inhibit Timer
A Switch Inhibit Timer is a software function that lets you
program control/relay modules, NACs, and Panel Circuits so an operator cannot
manually activate NAC or releasing circuits. With Switch Inhibit enabled, an operator
cannot manually activate the NAC/releasing circuits from the control panel.
Terminal Mode
An operating mode for a remote printer or a CRT-2 that allows
communication with the control panel through the EIA-485 port (TB4).
Type Code
A Type Code is a software function that specifies the function of a detector,
control/relay module, monitor module, NAC, or Panel Circuit point. (You can select a
Type Code while programming a point). The Type Code specifies what action the
control panel takes when the point activates. For example, a monitor module with
EVACUATE
as a Type Code activates, the control panel activates all outputs, as if
someone pressed the A
LARM
A
CTIVATE
key. You can also select a “blank” Type Code,
for applications with a function not included in the predefined Type Codes for the type
of device.
View (Very Intelligent Early Warning) System
A smoke detection system,
consisting of the AFC-600 control panel and LPX-751 laser detectors, that provides
very early warning of smoldering fires.
Veri•Fire Off-line Programming Utility
A software utility for uploading and
downloading a system program between a personal computer and the control panel
through the EIA-232 port (TB2).
Walk Test
A feature that lets a single (qualified) maintenance person to test a Fire
Alarm Control PAnel and initiating devices without causing the control panel to enter
into an alarm state.
