31 AFP-3030 Operations Manual — P/N DOC-01-039:A 26/11/2015
Operation of the Control Panel Mass Notification Supervisory Event
Press the MUTE ALARM DEVICES key. ALARM DEVICES SILENCED LED light steady. The
control panel sends a Signal Silenced message to the History buffer, installed printers and
annunciators.
NOTE:
If MN events have priority over fire events, any active silenceable devices that were activated
by the fire event will silence when the MN Alarm occurs.
If fire events have priority over MNS events, silenceable outputs will remain active when an
MN Alarm occurs until MUTE ALARM DEVICES is pressed or a system reset is initiated.
3. Check the MN Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFO soft key to
display the MORE INFORMATION screen and view additional information on the device and
possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. (Refer to Figure 1.9 on page 11 for an
example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
4. Correct the condition causing the MN alarm.
5. When the alarm condition is corrected, press the RESET key to return the control panel to
normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message). The control panel sends a
“System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed printer. If both fire
and MN alarms are present on the control panel and MN events have priority over fire events,
the initial reset will clear the MN alarm from the control panel. If fire has priority over MN
events, a second reset must be initiated to clear the MN alarm from the panel.
2.8.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the fire alarm. For example, a monitor module with a
MN MON Type ID code
means that the monitor module connects to a mass notification device. If the Type ID code is unfa-
miliar, refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 63. This appendix is an alphabeti-
cal list of Type ID codes with an explanation of each.
2.9 Mass Notification Supervisory Event
An MN Supervisory point event will occur when a monitor module programmed with an MN
supervisory type code activates.
2.9.1 How the Control Panel Indicates an MN Supervisory Point
Event
The panel will react differently depending on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowl-
edged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
• Produces a warbling audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
• Activates the Supervisory relay and any devices programmed as General Supervisory and
General Pending
• Illuminates the
SUPERVISORY LED (yellow) on the fire panel and any annunciator points
programmed for general supervisory
• Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of supervisory signal being generated
•Displays
MN SUPERVISORY in the upper left corner of the panel display along with information
specific to the device
• Sends a MN Supervisory message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
• Activates special zone ZF21
• Does not cause any devices programmed for “Resound on Supervisory” to resound
• Does not suppress any fire events regardless of MN/Fire priority programming
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains the indica-
tions of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.), flashing the
SUPERVI-
SORY LED, and sending a Supervisory message to the history buffer, installed printer and
annunciators. If there are silenced alarms (the
ALARM DEVICES SILENCED LED is lighted), a Super-
visory alarm will resound the panel sounder.
