1. Getting Started
Introduction to the Control Panel
The NFS-640 is an intelligent, field-programmable Fire Alarm Control Panel. Field-programming the
control panel lets you customize the fire alarm system by selecting and setting program options for
intelligent/addressable detectors and modules, Panel Circuits, and Notification Appliance Circuits
(NACs).
This manual provides information for programming using the NFS-640 keypad connected to the control
panel. VeriFire™ Tools must be used for programming if no keypad is used, or if an NCA (Network
Control Annunciator) is used as the keypad in either a network or standalone application. Refer to
VeriFire™ Tools for information on programming without the NFS-640 keypad, and the NFS-640
Installation Manual and NCA Manual for installation information.
For details on control panel operation, refer to the NFS-640 Operations Manual.
