INA 15092:I 05/30/01
INTELLIGENT NETWORK ANNUNCIATOR
CHAPTER TWO OPERATION
ABOUT NVRAMS
Improper power down or up of the INA causes the NVRAMS to set their internal partitions disabling write capability. The
INA software verifies the state of the partitions on the nonvolatile static RAMs on initial power on. If a NVRAM problem
has been detected on the power up cycle, the INA will display the error message, TROUBL CATASTROPHIC INA NON
VOLATILE RAM FAILURE. If this condition occurs, call the factory for immediate assistance.
ABOUT THIS CHAPTER
This chapter covers the operation of the INA and the control features available to the operator presented through the
perspective of the keypad and the 80 character LCD.
ABOUT THE PASSWORDS
The INA functions in one of three levels: Operational Level, Level One, and Level Two. In Operational mode, the
operator can perform the following keypad or menu-displayed functions:
Acknowledge alarms, troubles, and restorations (clears).
View acknowledged alarms and troubles.
Silence the sounding of fire alarm notification appliances.
Simultaneously reset all panels which are associated through programming.
Point Read Status for network devices and local INA annunciator points
Test the INA LED indicators, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), terminal, and printer.
View or print the event history stored in nonvolatile memory.
Access to keypad or menu levels one and two require entry of specific passwords. These levels allow an authorized
programmer to initialize or alter the programming of the INA. Entry requirements are defined as follows:
A Level One password is required for Alter Status.
A Level Two password is required for Programming.
If the main operator of the system requires access to a function which is password protected, contact the NOTIFIER
Distributor who installed the system for the required password(s). For more information on programming or altering the
status of the INA, refer to Chapter 3 (Programming) of this document.
Whenever the operator selects a menu, the INA begins a one-minute timer. If no key is pressed during this minute, the
function selected will be aborted and control will return to the INA state prior to selection of that menu.
An AKS-1 Annunciator Keyswitch is required for each INA unless it is installed in a lockable cabinet such as a CAB-3
series. The AKS-1 is used to enable and disable the INA keypad. Only one INA can have the keypad enabled; all other INA
keypads must be disabled using the AKS-1 or the shorting plug shipped with the INA on J3. If an NCS is installed on the
network, all the INA keypads must be disabled.
ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
Depending on the particular release of software in your system, some menu functions and system features may not be
operable. If you attempt to execute a function that is not operable, the panel will respond with the message "FUNCTION IS
NOT ENABLED".
Contact your NOTIFIER Distributor for information on the latest software features available for the INA.
