General Information Introduction to the Control Panel
8 NFS-3030 Operating P/N 51344:C 11/4/03
1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel
The NFS-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications. The CPU-3030 comes with a front display/keypad option, which allows programming
and viewing options at the panel.
There are two basic configuration options for the NFS-3030/E. It can be ordered with:
• a front display/keypad, which allows programming and viewing options at the panel, or
• no display keypad.
This manual gives instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the NFS-3030, the panel is controlled by remote annunciators.
VeriFire™ programming is required. The displayless panel has four buttons on its circuit board that
are service-level switches for local operation should it become necessary. They are the only
buttons, and are clearly marked with ACK for Acknowledge, SIGSIL for Signal Silence, SYSRST
for System Reset, and LAMP TEST. These buttons are mainly for installer use: the operator should
utilize a remote annunciator for these functions, if possible. The status indicator LEDs on the
circuit board are the same as on the display/keypad (refer to "The Display/Keypad" on page 9 of
this manual).
Refer to VeriFire™ Tools or the NCA manual for information on programming without an NFS-
3030 display/keypad.
