7.9 Global Fire Contact Operation
The 6100 controls a set of volt free changeover contacts that can be programmed to operate under
various panel activation conditions. The fire contact connections are shown on the terminal label in
the non fire state.
The contacts can be programmed to activate upon receipt of an activation from automatic class
devices only, manual class devices only or both.
Devices set as anything other than automatic or manual class, programmed as non-latching, or in a
walk test zone will not activate the contacts.
7.10 Global Fault Contact Operation
The 6100 will operate the global fault contacts under any fault condition ( including when the panel is
un-powered ). The fault contacts connections are shown on the terminal label in the non fault state.
7.11 Remote Alarm Input Operation
The Remote Alarm input can be enabled and disabled by using the 6100 commissioning software.
When enabled a remote alarm activation input triggers programming associated with input group 31.
When the remote alarm input is enabled, input group 31 is not available for use by any other input
device.
When the Remote Alarm input is disabled input group 31 becomes available for use as normal.
A remote alarm activation does not activate the Fire Link, or Global Fire contacts and can be
configured to activate control output groups, or not.
The Remote Alarm input can also be configured ( using the Windows commissioning software ) to
function as a Day / Night timer input. In this configuration the system switches the sensitivities of all
automatic detectors to night mode when the remote alarm input is short circuited.
7.12 Class Change Input Operation
The Class Change input can be enabled and disabled by using the 6100 commissioning software.
When enabled a class change input activation triggers programming associated with input group 30.
When the class change input is enabled, input group 30 is not available for use by any other input
device.
When the Class Change input is disabled input group 30 becomes available for use as normal.
Outputs will activate as programmed for input group 30 in the matrix, with the exception of talking
devices which activate as shown below:
Activations from loop devices or the Remote Alarm input always override a Class Change activation.
