INA 15092:I 05/30/01
ABOUT THE DISPLAY TIME
The INA has a time field in the text displayed for each event that occurs in the system.
All Systems Normal: During periods of no activity, the time field reflects the current time.
Single, Unacknowledged Event: When an event has occurred but has not been acknowledged, and no other event has
occurred, the CRT terminal and the INA will display the time that the event occurred.
Multiple, Unacknowledged Events: The display will show the actual time that the first unacknowledged event occurred.
After all unacknowledged events have been acknowledged with the Acknowledge command, the INA will display the
highest priority acknowledged event on the network with the INA's internal current time. This time does not represent the
time the event occurred. Only the history buffer retains the date and time an event occurred.
Single/Multiple Previously Acknowledged Events: The time shown for an acknowledged event is the time at which that
event was last placed in the display by activation of the ACK STEP key (not the time at which the event occurred). Only the
history buffer retains the date and time an event occurred.
ABOUT ANNUNCIATOR OPERATION WITH THE INA
The INA's Annunciator Control System (ACS) has the ability to display status on any network fire alarm control panel
(FACP). The ACS may be used for simple zone annunciation or may be used to control the state of control devices
mapped to a FACP's local annunciator point. The INA ACS displays point information for AM2020/AFP1010 FACPs
and zone information for AFP-200s. NOTES: 1. In the current release, smoke control annunciators (SCS-8/SCS-8L) are
only supported in HVAC mode. 2. The SCS-8 and SCS-8L firmware has been updated in conjunction with Software
Release 2.8. The new SCS firmware is not backward compatible with older revisionns of software.
Annunciator Points
INA annunciator points can map to any network zone or mimic an AM2020/AFP1010 FACP local annunciator point.
When an INA annunciator point mimics or follows the state of a predetermined and programmed remote node annuncia-
tor point, the point is referred to as a shadow annunciator point. Information displayed on the INA shadow annunciator
point is identical to what is displayed on the FACP's annunciator. Programming to determine whether the ACS point is
an input or output point is performed on the FACP. SCS annunciator points and AMGs may be mimicked by an INA
shadow annunciator point, but SCS annunciators and AMGs cannot physically be located at both the INA and a fire
panel in the same INA group.
INA ACS points may be mapped to AFP-200 zones. In the AFP-200 the individual ACS points are the zones. When the
AFP-200 zone becomes activated, the INA ACS point mapped to that zone becomes activated. Note: If an FACP's local
annunciator point or zone is mimicked by an existing INA shadow ACS point that corresponds to a network node not
included in the INA's group, that ACS point will not function.
Audio Message Generators as Annunciator Panels
Each INA in the network can communicate with 1 to 32 annunciator panels. Each annunciator panel can have up to 64
points. The ACS can also communicate with devices that emulate annunciator panels such as Audio Message Generators.
When using an AMG for networked voice evacuation, pressing the All Call button on the AMG which is connected to the
INA, will cause a network All Call message to be sent to all FACPs in that INA's group. This message will cause the
FACPs in the group to activate all installed SPKR circuits. Subsequently, depressing the AMG All Call button will
cause all installed SPKR circuits to deactivate. If a shadow INA ACS point for networked voice evacuation is mimick-
ing an ACS point at an FACP, the annunciator should be programmed into the FACP but does not need to be physically
installed. If an AMG is installed at the INA, it cannot physically be installed at any other node in the INA's group.
IMPORTANT!
All Call on the INA will only work for the nodes programmed into the INA. If multiple INAs employing AMGs
exist on the network, the group of nodes programmed into the INAs must not overlap. If the groups overlap, the
possibility exists of one INA initiating All Call and another INA turning it off. To avoid this possibility, each INA/
AMG must only affect a specific group of network nodes that no other INA/AMG can affect.
Annunciator Mapping
A network zone can be mapped to any annunciator point on the INA. There are no restrictions to node or zone mappings.
The annunciator point will then display the current state of the network zone. Restrictions exist regarding the use of
some ACS devices with the INA. These restrictions are described in detail in the Installation and Programming chapters.
Manual Mode
If manual mode operation is used for an annunciator or SCS then all annunciator control points must be mapped/shad-
owed to the same FACP mode for each annunciator address.
