Advanced Logic
The equation in zone 3 looks like this:
01-00-L0-SM-005:A AND 01-00-L0-SM-006:A AND 01-00-L0-SM-007:A
This equation is common to relays 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Relay 1:
01-00-**-IZ-003:A AND NOT 01-00-L0-SM-008:A
Relay 2:
01-00-**-IZ-003:A AND NOT 01-00-L0-SM-009:A
Relay 3:
01-00-**-IZ-003:A AND NOT 01-00-L0-SM-010:A
Relay 4:
01-00-**-IZ-003:A AND NOT 01-00-L0-SM-011:A
5.8 Example of Advanced Logic with Mass Notification
The following example shows how to use advanced logic to create a virtual zone for a typical
configuration with fire and Mass Notification (see chapter 14).
5.8.1 The Mass Notification System
Governing bodies such as UL/ULC require that the Mass Notification System (MNS) and the
fire control system be grouped separately in the software. The input and output devices for fire
and MNS must be in different zones and these zones must be in different groups. Since an
input zone cannot activate outputs in a different group, the MNS input zones will not activate
fire output signals and fire input zones will not activate MNS output signals.
However, sometimes inputs from one group require the use of hardware present in a different
group. For example, the fire group may have inputs that require the use of amplifiers in the
MNS panel. You can use advanced logic to make inputs activate outputs that are in a different
group. The following procedure demonstrates how to do this.
To activate outputs across groups, you must:
• Create two nodes in different groups.
• Assign switches to each group.
• Assign zones to each node.
• Create a virtual zone that is local to one node, but is correlated with the zone on the
other node.
Follow the instructions below to complete these steps.
5.8.2 Assigning the nodes to the groups
The first step is to create two nodes, and to put them in different groups.
