Read Status Operation Viewing and Printing a Read Status
• Device Status The status of the module: control/relay module [On (device active) OFF (device 
not active] or monitor module (Normal, Alarm, or Test).
• Type Code The software Type Code that identifies the type of module. (Refer to “Point 
Programming” in the NFS2-640 Programming Manual.)
• CBE list Only the first zone in the device’s CBE list will be displayed.
• Device SLC Address The SLC address of the module.
• Switch Inhibit (control/relay module only) Displays whether the remote ON/OFF capability 
of the device is inhibited. (I=on; *=off).
• Silenceable (control/relay module only) A selection that specifies if the device can be 
silenced during an alarm by pressing the signal silence key. Possible values are: 
* = output nonsilenceable
F = silenceable, resound by fire alarm
U = silenceable, resound by supervisory alarm
B = silenceable, resound by security alarm
T = silenceable, resound by trouble
O = silenceable, does not resound
Walk Test (control/relay module only) A selection that specifies if the device will activate 
during a Walk Test.
How to View Read Status for a NAC
From the “Read Status” screen, press 0, then press the ENTER 
key. You can now view Read Status for a NAC as follows: 
press 
OUTPUT, enter the device address, then press the ENTER 
key. For example, to read the status of NAC 0-2: press 
OUTPUT, enter 02, then press the ENTER key. The control 
panel now displays information for a NAC as shown in 
Figure 4.3.
The display and descriptions of the fields are shown below: 
Figure 4.3  Sample NAC Read Status Display
• Device Status The status of the device: ON (device active) OFF (device not active).
• Type Code The software Type Code that identifies the type of NAC. Refer to “Appendix F - 
Type Codes” in NFS2-640 Programming Manual.
• CBE List Only the first zone in the NAC’s CBE list will be displayed here.
• Device Address The address of the NAC (01-04)
• Switch Inhibit A selection for disabling the switch function for the control/relay or 
transponder output circuit. (I=on; *=off).
NOTE: If the “Strobe” Type ID is used with System Sensor Strobe synchronization, F, U, B, T, or 
O will silence the entire circuit, “*” will silence the horn portion only.
