Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!

1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel

The NFS-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications.
There are two basic configuration options for the NFS-3030. 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 programming instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the panel, it is controlled by remote annunciators. VeriFire™
Tools 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 NFS-3030 Operating Manual for
LED descriptions.
Refer to VeriFire™ Tools for information on programming without an NFS-3030 display/keypad.
A PC is required when using VeriFire™.
Canadian applications must conform to ULC requirements for displays and network control. Refer
to the Canadian Applications appendix in this panel’s installation manual.
1.3.1 Features
Programming features include the following:
• Ease of use - Field program the control panel without special software skills.
• Local programming - program directly from the control panel keypad to reduce installation
time.
• PC programming - input long data entry programming information on a PC; transfer
programming data between a PC and the control panel.
• Autoprogram option - automatically detect newly installed, addressable devices, allowing
quicker installation.
• Security - use passwords to control access to the control panel and protect programming.
• Large display option - 640 character screen, 16 lines x 40 characters

Navigating Menu and Programming Screens General Information
1.4 Navigating Menu and Programming Screens

The Main Menu (refer to Figure 2.1) leads to screens with various menu and programming options.
Choices may be made from the menu screens by pressing the soft key closest to the menu option.
Appendix A, “Menu Hierarchy” gives the programming menu hierarchy: refer to this appendix for
an overall view of the layout of the screens.
Field information may be added/modified using the keyboard and special function keys.
Arrow keys on the keyboard can be used to navigate between fields on a screen if there are no soft
keys to select the fields.
Scrolling through a list of selections in a screen field can be performed either by repeatedly
pressing the associated soft key, or by pressing the Next Selection/Previous Selection special
function keys on the Display/Keypad.
Pressing a BACK soft key on a screen returns the programmer to the previous screen without saving
the information entered.
Pressing an ACCEPT soft key will save the information entered on the screen. It may also return to
the previous screen and/or perform other functions as described in the soft key section for each
screen.
When the FACP can not read an address (that is, if the point entered on the screen for processing
does not exist) it will display an error screen for several seconds, then return to the screen where the
address was entered. The user must check his input and investigate the state of the point.
1.5 Basic Procedure

For initial programming of the panel, or for major changes and additions, the following basic
procedure is recommended to prevent errors resulting in reprogramming and wasted time.
• Use work sheets to record the exact information for every detector, module, annunciator point
and software zone in the system. Pay close attention to the Software Type IDs. For voice
systems, pay close attention to AMG annunciator point commands. The panel program may
also be created using VeriFire™ Tools and downloaded to the panel after assembly and power-
up.
• Assemble and apply power to the control panel as described in this panel’s installation manual.
All system boards must be physically installed.
• Read this manual before programming.
• Enter/change master and user passwords.
• Enter panel and network parameters.
• Program all devices and thoroughly test the entire system. The Walk Test feature can be used to
test devices and their programming.
• Make a hard-copy record of the program on the printer.
• Save the program by uploading it using VeriFire™ Tools.
1.6 Getting Started

Once the system has been physically installed, programming may begin. The user may program at
any time except while there is an unacknowledged alarm present.
To ensure security, passwords should be entered at this time to replace the factory default settings.

General Information Getting Started
1.6.1 Password Change

The NFS-3030 has two password levels; master and user. There is one master password, which
grants access to all system programming. There are nine user passwords, each of which may be
assigned access to the programming change menus, the alter status menus, or both. A user
password does not give access to or allow change to any password parameters, not even its own.
Only the master password will allow access to password change screens.
The panel arrives with factory default settings of 00000000 for the master password, and 11111111
for one user password.
Follow the steps below to change the factory settings:
1. Press PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS at the Main Menu screen.
2. Using the keyboard, enter eight zeroes (00000000) after ENTER PASSWORD .
3. Press the ACCEPT soft key.
4. Press the PANEL PROGRAM MENU soft key.
5. Press the MORE soft key.
6. Press the PASSWORD CHANGE soft key.

3.1 General Information

The NFS-3030 operates with two levels of programming: Program, and Alter Status.
Program level allows change to the essential control panel functions such as point functions, system
functions, and passwords. Program level change requires the master password, or a user password
that allows access to the Program level. All password information can be changed with a master
password only.
Alter Status level allows change to operating parameters, such as detector sensitivity, or time/date,
or Walk Test. The master password, or a user password that allows access to the Alter Status level,
is required.
NOTE: All events except troubles are annunciated during programming. When an annunciated
event occurs, the panel will automatically exit the programming screen and the Event Counts
menu screen will appear.
To access the Program level, press the Program/Alter Status soft key on the Main Menu and at the
prompt enter a master password, or a user password that allows access to the Program level. The
following screen will display.
NOTE: No program menus will display if a user password is entered that has access to Alter

3.2.7 ACS Programming

An ACS device is a remote device used by the panel to annunciate certain system messages, and/or
to act with limited commands. A total of 32 annunciator devices may be present on the EIA-485
ACS circuit; however, some devices have associated expander devices, and an NFS-3030 ACS
circuit can accomodate up to 3,072 annunciator points. The ACS Programming and ACS Point
Programming screens in this section allow the user to define the mapping and functional mode of
these devices and points. Each annunciator board may be labeled using the ACS Label Menu.
(Refer to “Annunciator Board Label” on page 56).

NOTE: Smoke Control devices must be set as FSCS or HVAC annunciator types. In addition to
its 64 smoke control points, when an SCS device is operating in FSCS (Firefighters Smoke
Control Station) mode, there are 32 additional points which function as alarm points. They can be
mapped to a zone or point to send the SCS device into a fire alarm state when any of the
additional 32 points is activated. Any of the 32 alarm points that are used must be set to
MONITOR mode from the panel. Any of these points that are not used can be set to NONE. Refer
to the SCS manual for further information on Smoke Control devices.
NOTE: When using an AMG, the address it occupies (an address of 25 through 32, typically
address 32 ) must be set to annunciator type AMG, and address one must be set to annunciator
type 64PT.
UDACT and TM-4 communicators, as well as the UZC Zone Coder, are installed on the same
EIA-485 ACS circuit as annunciators, and so are included with annunciator programming. The
TM-4 occupies one of the 32 annunciator addresses, and the UDACT can occupy one or more of
these addresses. The UZC can occupy up to four annunciator addresses, each with 64 points. When
the UDACT or UZC expand beyond one annunciator address, 64PT should be used for the
subsequent address types, and the annunciator addresses should be sequential. Other than address
assignment, there is no ACS point programming for these devices. Refer to the specific device
manual for more information.

Program Autoprogram Menu
3.6 Autoprogram Menu

The Autoprogram option identifies addressable devices connected to the control panel. Devices
include addressable detectors and modules connected to the panel’s SLCs and Panel Circuits. The
Autoprogram can be used to create a new program, or to add or remove devices from an existing
program. When the points are accepted, they are added to the panel’s database with the defaults
described in the “Point Programming” section of this manual.
3.6.1 To Create a New Program

To successfully create a new program, the FACP must either be new, or have no existing program in
memory for the loops or panel circuits involved.
1. Use the Delete Program Menu screen ( refer to Figure 3.46) to clear any applicable
programming from the panel. For example, if loops one and two are to be autoprogrammed,
clear the programming that exists by entering 1+2 at the Delete Program Menu screen.
2. Install SLCs (loops 1+2 in this example) using the Loop Programming screen (Figure 3.19)
(panel circuits do not require this step).
3. Press the A U T O P R O G R A M L O O P S soft key and enter the desired SLCs (loops 1+2 in this
example), or select A U T O P R O G R A M P A N E L M O D U L E S in the Autoprogram Menu screen
(Figure 3.48)
4. Press the ACCEPT soft key to run the Autoprogram.
3.6.2 To Add/Delete Devices from the Program

When using the Autoprogram option with an existing program, the control panel does not change
program information for installed and programmed devices.
5. If devices are to be added to a new SLC (an SLC that is not in the program), that SLC must be
installed using the Loop Programming screen (Figure 3.19).
6. Physically install/uninstall the SLC devices or panel circuit modules.
7. Press the AUTOPROGRAM LOOPS or the AUTOPROGRAM PANEL CIRCUITS soft key to run
the Autoprogram. Existing information will not be changed.
Autoprogram will find the devices/modules on the selected installed SLCs/panel circuits. It will
compare the information it finds during autoprogramming against any point information that may
already be in the database, and it will look for any addressing errors, such as two detectors with the
same address. If it finds a discrepancy or error, a screen will be displayed with the discrepant or
incorrect information and the programmer will be given the option of changing it.

Walk Test allows the user to test the entire fire alarm system while away from the control panel.
There are two types of Walk Test - Basic and Advanced - and each type operates in audible mode.
Walk Test results are sent to the printer and to Event History as “Test”.
WARNING: Physically disconnect all releasing devices before starting Walk Test. It is not
! sufficient to disable in any other manner.
WARNING: Walk Test mode can deactivate fire protection. Observe the following important
! precautions.
IMPORTANT!
• Prior to Walk Test, secure all protected buildings, and notify the building owner/operator,
fire department, and other pertinent personnel that testing is in progress.
• Immediately after Walk Test is completed, notify the same people that testing is complete
and the system is restored to normal operation. Reconnect releasing devices.
• Walk Test will “time out” and return to normal operation after one hour when no Walk Test
activations have occurred during that time.
• Walk Test may be exited at any time by pressing the ABORT soft key on the screen
NOTE: Walk Test will not start if any devices are active (i.e., fire alarms, security, supervisories
or pre-alarms.) To perform a walk test while a device is active, disable the device and press the
System Reset button.

Walk Test Alter Status
Basic Walk Test - The basic test allows a single operator to run audible tests on the panel. All logic
equation automation is suspended during the test. All ACS devices will default to Disable. They
may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the Walk Test Menu
screen (Figure 4.9 ).
Advanced Walk Test - The advanced test allows field-supplied output point programming that will
react to input stimuli such as CBE and logic equations. When points are activated in advanced
testing, each initiating event will latch the input. Release of the latch and subsequent activation of
the next point is controlled through use of the NEXT TEST soft key. All ACS devices default to
disable. They may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the
Walk Test Menu screen (Figure 4.9 ).
An advanced test is audible. An audible test is intended for pull station verification, magnet-
activated tests on input devices, input and output device and wiring operation/verification. Only
devices previously configured to participate and designated as part of the test through the following
screens will make sound.
Walk Test Activation Indications

FlashScan poll mode - Once the START TEST soft key has been pressed:
• each intelligent addressable input device will blink its address in red, and each intelligent
addressable output device will blink its address in green. Pattern examples are given below.

152 15 blinks, stop, 2 blinks, long stop, 15 blinks, stop, 2 blinks, long stop....
• an input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady green for the duration of the test. If
the device is put in trouble (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the
LED will be latched on for the duration of the test.
• an output device activated in Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green for
- 4 seconds for alarms
- 8 seconds for troubles.
• an output device activated in Advanced Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green until the NEXT TEST soft key is pressed.
CLIP poll mode - Once the START TEST soft key has been pressed:
• intelligent addressable input and output devices continue to blink red as usual until
activated.
• an input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady red during activation. If the device
is put in trouble (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the LED wil be
latched on for the duration of the test.
• an output device activated during Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green (if a FlashScan module) or steady red (if a CLIP module) for
- 4 seconds for alarms
- 8 seconds for troubles.
• an output device activated in Advanced Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow

Appendix B: Releasing Applications
WARNING: Do not rely on Disable to disable releasing points during testing. Releasing points
! must be physically disconnected.
B.1 Releasing Zones

The control panel includes ten releasing zones (ZR00-ZR09) that can be used to control up to ten
releasing operations. Each zone operates independently, and is fully programmable. To program a
releasing zone, refer to “Releasing Zone” on page 51.
There are four releasing functions, outlined below, that can be defined by entering values in the
associated fields during programming.
Function/Field Explanation
Delay Time Delay Time is the time that elapses between activation of an initiating device and
activation of all outputs mapped to the initiating device through a releasing zone.
Delay Time can have a value of 0 to 60 (seconds). A value of 0 will result in immediate
output activation upon activation of the initiating device.
Following is a graphic representation of what happens when a delay timer is set to 15
seconds for releasing zone ZR02.
Initiating device with Delay Time = 15 (seconds) All outputs with
releasing zone ZR02 in their zone
ZR02 in its zone 15 maps activate at
0 sec. 15 seconds
map activates sec.
NOTE: If cross-zoning is in effect, the delay time will not begin until the
cross-zoning conditions are met. Refer to “Cross Zones” on page 97 for
more information.
Abort Switch Selection of a 3-letter abort switch type code (ULI, IRI, NYC, or AHJ) defines the
operation of an Abort Switch in that releasing zone. Refer to the specific abort switch
type code heading in this appendix for details on how each functions.
Cross Zone Select one of three Cross Zone types (Yes, Zone, or Heat), or No (not used). A Cross
Zone requires tripping two or more initiating devices to activate the outputs mapped to a
releasing zone. Refer to the Section B.3.5 on page 97 section of this appendix for details
and examples.
Soak Time Soak Time specifies the length of time to dump releasing agents when a releasing zone
(NFPA 16 activates. When the Soak Time expires, the control panel automatically shuts the

Releasing Applications NFPA Releasing Applications
B.2 NFPA Releasing Applications

This control panel can be used for agent release or preaction/deluge control applications. In a
properly configured system with compatible, listed actuating and initiating devices, this control
panel complies with the following NFPA standards for installation in accordance with the
acceptable standard:
Standard Covers
NFPA 13 Sprinkler Systems
NFPA 15 Water Spray Systems
NFPA 16 Foam-water Deluge and Foam-water Spray Systems
NFPA 17 Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 17A Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 2001 Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
Table B.1 NFPA Standards for Releasing Applications
B.3 Abort Switches

The control panel provides for four types of abort switches - ULI, IRI, NYC, and AHJ - each of
which will affect the operation of the delay timer in the releasing zone. For example, an NYC Abort
Switch for releasing zone ZR05 affects only the delay timer in ZR05.
When an initiating device activates, pressing and holding the abort switch will prevent the control
panel from sending the command to dump releasing agents when the Delay Time expires.
Requirements for using an abort switch include the following:
• A monitor module must be connected to a UL-listed abort station, such as the NBG-12LRA
shown below.
• The monitor module must be programmed with the Type Code ABORT SWITCH.
• An abort switch shall not be used with a preaction system.

This section contains information on each type of abort switch.

Example of an Abort Switch Application
The figure below contains an illustration for an abort switch application configuration using
releasing zone ZR05 as an example. The configuration includes:

Abort Switches Releasing Applications
• A monitor module wired to an abort station and programmed with the Type Code ABORT
SWITCH
• All initiating devices and outputs with a common releasing zone in their zone maps - ZR05
in the example shown
• A fully programmed releasing zone - releasing zone ZR05 in the example shown. (Refer to
“Releasing Zone” on page 51 for programming information.)
In the following example, when an initiating device activates (one of the two detectors or the pull
station), pressing and holding the abort switch while the delay time is in effect will prevent the
control panel from sending the command to dump releasing agents when the delay time expires.
The abort switch selection (ULI, IRI, NYC, or AHJ) determines the function of the abort switch.

Releasing Applications Abort Switches
B.3.1 ULI Abort Switch

A ULI Abort Switch has a standard UL-type delay timer that complies with UL Standard 864.
When an alarm initiates in the programmed releasing zone, the abort switch can be pressed while
the delay timer continues to count down, and held for as long as necessary. (If the abort switch is
pressed after the delay timer has expired, the abort switch has no effect.) Releasing the abort switch
starts a countdown by a 10-second ULI timer. When the 10-second ULI timer expires, the control
panel activates the releasing zone outputs.

B.3.2 IRI Abort Switch

An IRI Abort Switch has a standard UL-type delay timer that complies with UL Standard 864,
operating like ULI but with additional functions for Cross Zones. Refer to “How Cross Zones
Work” on page 98 in this appendix for more information on cross zones.
When the first alarm occurs in a releasing zone programmed with a cross-zone code, pressing the
abort switch will prevent activation of the releasing zone should a second alarm occur while the
switch is held.
When the abort switch is released, if a second alarm has occurred while the switch was held, the
ten-second IRI timer activates immediately, and the control panel activates the releasing zone
outputs at the end of the IRI timer countdown.
When the abort switch is released and a second alarm has not occurred while the switch was held,
the panel waits for the cross-zone conditions to be met before activating the releasing zone.
WARNING:
! The IRI abort switch will only work if it is pushed before the second alarm occurs. If it is pushed after
the second alarm, the releasing zone will already have been activated, and the switch will have no
effect.

B.3.3 NYC Abort Switch

An NYC Abort Switch has a standard NYC delay timer that adds 90 seconds to the programmed
Delay Time.
NOTE: An NYC timer does not comply with UL Standard 864.
When an alarm initiates in the programmed releasing zone, pressing and holding the abort switch
stops the delay timer countdown. The delay timer restarts at the beginning of its countdown when
the abort switch is released. When the Delay Time expires, the 90-second NYC timer starts
counting down. When both timers expire, the control panel activates releasing zone outputs.
NOTE: 120 seconds is the maximum delay after the abort switch is released. If the Delay Time
plus the NYC delay time of 90 seconds exceeds 120 seconds, the releasing zone outputs will still
be activated at 120 seconds after the abort switch is released.
Example 1 - Delay Time Does Not Exceed 120 Seconds

Program a Delay Time of 15 seconds and an Abort Switch type of NYC. The releasing zone
activates and the 15-second delay timer starts. Ten seconds into the delay timer countdown, press
and hold the abort switch for 30 seconds, then release the abort switch. The control panel restarts
the delay timer at 15 seconds and adds the NYC delay of 90 seconds. The delay timers will both
expire at 105 seconds, and releasing zone outputs will begin releasing at that time. Following is a
graphic example of a NYC Abort Switch and a delay timer programmed to a releasing zone.

Figure B.5 NYC Abort Switch -Example 1
Example 2 - Delay Time Exceeds 120 Seconds

Program a Delay Time value of 60 seconds and an Abort Switch type of NYC. The releasing zone
activates and the 60-second delay timer starts. Ten seconds into the Delay Time countdown, press
and hold the abort switch for 30 seconds, then release the abort switch. The control panel restarts
the delay timer at 60 seconds and adds the the NYC delay of 90 seconds. The delay timers will both

expire at 150 seconds: however, this time exceeds the maximum of 120 seconds, so the releasing
zone outputs will begin releasing at 120 seconds, not at 150. Following is a graphic example of an
NYC Abort Switch and a delay timer programmed to a releasing zone.

B.3.4 AHJ Abort Switch

An AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) Abort Switch has a delay timer that restores the
programmed Delay Time.
NOTE: An AHJ timer does not comply with UL Standard 864.
When an alarm initiates in the programmed releasing zone, the programmed Delay Time starts.

B.3.5 Cross Zones

Purpose of Cross Zones
Programming the Cross Zone releasing function can set the control panel to activate a releasing
zone and any output mapped to that releasing zone only after a predetermined sequence of events
occurs.
NOTE: The FACP considers only the primary zone (the first zone in a point’s zone map) to
determine whether conditions have been met for Cross Zone type Z.
A summary of the types of Cross Zones and the conditions for activating a releasing zone:
Table 3:
Type Activates when
No A Cross Zone has not been selected. An alarm from any detector mapped to the
releasing zone activates it.
Yes Two or more initiating devices are in alarm that are mapped to the same releasing
zone.
Zone Two or more initiating devices are in alarm that are mapped to two different primary
zones and that are also mapped to the same releasing zone. Note that the FACP
considers only primary zones to determine whether releasing zone activation should
occur.
Heat At least one smoke detector mapped to a releasing zone is in alarm and at least one
heat detector mapped to the same releasing zone is in alarm.

How Cross Zones Work

Below is an illustrated example of how Cross Zones work, using five Cross Zone selections (four
detectors and an SLC output module mapped to Releasing Zone ZR01):

zones, but mapped to the same releasing zone.
For example: • An alarm from L02D101 and L02D103
• An alarm from L02D102 and L02D104
The two detectors listed in each set above are each mapped to different
primary general zones, but both list ZR01 in their zone maps.
Cross=Heat Activation of heat detector L02D104 and one smoke detector

(L02D101, L02D102, or L02D103).

module.
Description A monitor module—connected to a UL-listed manual station (such as the Notifier NBG-
12LRA)—used to monitor a pull station for the manual release of agents. A Manual Release

Description
A monitor module—connected to a UL-listed manual station (such as the Notifier

For example, program releasing zone ZR05 with a Manual Release Delay switch for the following
releasing selections: Delay Time = 15, Abort Switch = ULI, Cross Zone = NO, Soak Time = 30.
When the Manual Release Delay Switch activates, the control panel replaces the remainder of the
15-second Delay Time, if running, with a 10-second timer.
Examples:
1. The FACP programmed Delay Time begins its 15 second countdown. The Manual Release
Delay switch is pulled when the FACP delay timer has counted down to 12 seconds. The 12
seconds remaining in the countdown are overridden by the 10-second delay initiated by the
Manual Delay switch. In this example, the total time elapsing from FACP countdown initiation
to agent release is 13 seconds, less than the original 15 second FACP Delay Timer countdown.

2. The FACP programmed Delay Time begins its 15 second countdown. The Manual Release
Delay switch is pulled when the FACP Delay Timer has counted down to 8 seconds. The 8
seconds remaining in the countdown are overridden by the 10-second delay initiated by the
Manual Delay switch. In this example, the total time elapsing from FACP countdown initiation
to agent release is 17 seconds, more than the original 15 second FACP Delay Timer
countdown.
3. The FACP programmed Delay Time is not running (as would happen if the releasing station
were pulled before an alarm registered). The Manual Release Delay Switch is activated by the
pull station. Agent release will occur in 10 seconds.

How to Program a Second Shot Switch
NOTE: The Second Shot switch can only be used with the MAN REL DELAY Type Code

ZR05 can be activated in one of two ways, as described in the examples given below.
Example 1: If the detector initiates the alarm, ZR05 activates. Releasing begins after the delay
timer has expired (15 seconds). Releasing will continue for the soak timer duration (30 seconds).
The Second Shot switch can then be activated, and will remain activated for the soak timer
duration. Once the Soak Timer expires, the Second Shot switch can then be activated to initiate an
additional soak cycle.
Example 2: If the NBG-12LRA (Type Code MAN REL DELAY) lever is pulled, the delay timer
begins its 15 second countdown. Releasing will begin after the delay timer has expired, and will
continue for the soak timer duration (30 seconds). The Second Shot switch can then be activated,
and will remain activated for the soak timer duration. Once the Soak Timer expires, the Second
Shot switch can then be activated to initiate an additional soak cycle.

How to Program a Release Code Bell Circuit

When coded ouput is desired to indicate different phases of a releasing operation, the panel can be
programmed using Control-By-Event (CBE) to turn on outputs set to provide the chosen codes.
Example In the following example, programming is shown that will

Description
1. Turn on an output when the first alarm activates in a releasing zone, but Cross Zone
conditions are not met. Turn it off when the Delay Timer starts.
2. Turn on a different output when Cross Zone conditions are met and the Delay Timer
activates, and turn it off when releasing starts.
3. Turn on a different output when releasing starts, and turn it off when the system is reset.
The outputs are each set to a code appropriate for one of the three releasing phases: for
example, one code for the first alarm, a faster code when the Delay Timer activates, and a
continuous tone during releasing.
Program Program releasing zone ZR1 as follows:

ZR1 = Delay Time:15, Abort Switch:ULI, Cross Zone:YES, Soak Time:120
Map ZR1 to all inputs and outputs shown in this example.
Program logic zones as follows:
ZL1 = AND(OR(L1D1,L1D2,L1D3,L1D4,L1D5,L1D6),NOT(L1M30)
When conditions are met for ZL1, a first alarm has occurred in the releasing zone, but the
Delay Timer has not yet started. Map ZL1 to an output set to the code chosen for a first
alarm (L1M31 in this example).
ZL2 = AND(L1M30,NOT(L1M20))
When conditions are met for ZL2, the Delay Timer has started, but releasing has not begun.
Map ZL2 to the output set to the code chosen for when the Delay Timer activates (L1M32
in this example).
ZL3 = OR(L1M20)
When conditions are met for ZL3, the 120 second releasing operation has begun. Map ZL3
to the output that produces a continuous tone (L1M33 in this example).

• FST-851/751 intelligent heat detectors
• FSI-851/751, FSP-851/751, FAPT-851/751, FSL-751 intelligent smoke detectors
• Conventional detection UL-listed devices connected to monitor modules
Multiple zone initiating devices can be used for the same releasing hazard. Map zone initiating
devices to the same Releasing Zone. Factory Mutual and certain Local Authorities Having
Jurisdiction require using redundant wiring (NFPA 72 Style 6 or Style D) for initiating devices in
releasing applications.
B.4.2 Warning Sounders

Warning sounders connect to SLC or Panel Circuit output module circuits (refer to this panel’s
installation manual). Note the following:
• If selecting Cross Zones, a warning sounder only activates when two zones alarm.
• Warning sounders—unlike release solenoids—do not wait for a Delay Timer.
• If Coding Functions are required for warning sounders, use an SLC output module.
• The same releasing hazard can activate multiple NACs.
Instructions for activating warning sounders:

“ACS Point Programming” on page 28).

Appendix C: Special Zone Outputs
C.1 Presignal and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)

C.1.1 What is Presignal and PAS?
Purpose
Presignal is a feature that initially causes alarm signals to only sound in specific areas, monitored
by qualified persons. This allows delay of the alarm up to 180 seconds after the start of alarm
processing. The control panel Presignal feature provides two selections:
• A Presignal Delay Timer (1:00 to 3:00 minutes) that delays activation of all outputs with a
CBE that includes Special Zone ZF0.
• A PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) selection, in addition to the Presignal Delay Timer, that
allows a 15-second time period for acknowledging an alarm signal from a fire
detection/initiating device. If the alarm is not acknowledged within 15 seconds, all local and
remote outputs activate immediately and automatically.
An illustration of Presignal and PAS timing.

PAS (15 s)
If PAS=Y, alarm activates

outputs if not acknowledged
Initial alarm Alarm activates outputs, if the
annunciation control panel is not reset
Figure C.1 Presignal and PAS Time
The control panel delays activation of outputs containing ZF0 in their zone maps for all alarm
initiating devices that contain ZF0 in their CBE list. A subsequent alarm will abort the Presignal
Delay Timer and execute CBE lists.
Notes on using ZF0
• NFPA 72 requires installation of a PAS Inhibit switch, that can be used to turn off the PAS
delay timer when the control panel is unattended. Do so by programming a monitor module
with the Type Code, PAS INHIBIT.
• The Presignal Delay timer countdown can be stopped by pressing the SYSTEM RESET key
before the timer expires.
• Program zone ZF0 to participating inputs and outputs.
Restrictions on using ZF0
• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for a releasing device.
• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for any monitor module that connects to a device other
than an automatic fire detector.
C.1.2 Selecting Presignal and PAS Outputs

Presignal
The Presignal Delay Timer can be set to a value between 60 and 180 seconds. A Presignal Delay
Timer does not apply to the following:
• System Alarm relay

Special Zone Outputs Coding Functions for Panel Circuit Outputs
• TM-4 polarity reversal alarm output

• TM-4 municipal box output
• UDACT
Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS)
Outputs selected for PAS delay for 15 seconds. Acknowledgement within the 15-second delay will
set the Presignal Delay Timer to the full programmed value (60-180 seconds, including the PAS
delay of 15 seconds). When an alarm comes from an initiating device with a CBE list that includes
ZF0, the control panel delays the following outputs:
• System Alarm relay
• TM-4 polarity reversal alarm output
• TM-4 municipal box output
• UDACT
C.2 Coding Functions for Panel Circuit Outputs

Coding Functions are selectable pulsed signals that energize Panel Circuit outputs when a fire
alarm occurs.
NOTE: Do not include ZF8 in the zone map of Panel Circuits used for releasing or zone coding
applications.
Select Coding Functions on a global basis by setting the Panel Circuit Bell Coding field to March
or Temporal. (Refer to “Panel Settings (2) Screen” on page 22). Select individual panel circuit
output points for coding participation by entering ZF8 in the point’s zone map. All Panel Circuit
outputs with ZF8 in their zone maps will sound the same code when activated. The table below
contains descriptions of each Coding Function selection:

D.1 AWACS Overview

AWACS™ (Advanced Warning Addressable Combustion Sensing) is a set of software algorithms
that provide the NFS-3030 with industry-leading smoke detection capability. The user can program
AWACS functions on a global or on a per-detector basis.

D.2 AWACS Features

AWACS features include the following:
• Drift Compensation and Smoothing
• Maintenance Warnings - Three Levels
• Self-optimizing Pre-Alarm
• Detector Sensitivity
• Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing
D.2.1 Drift Compensation and Smoothing

Drift compensation uses algorithms (U.S. patent pending) that identify and compensate for long-
term changes in the analog readings from each smoke detector. (Typically, dirt and dust
accumulation inside the smoke chamber causes long-term changes in detector readings.) Drift
compensation does the following:
• Allows a detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke, and resist false alarms,
even as dirt and dust accumulates.
• Reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the control panel to automatically perform
the periodic sensitivity measurements required by NFPA Standard 72.
The software also provides smoothing filters to remove transient noise signals, usually caused by
electrical interference. Different smoothing algorithms are used, depending on the sensitivity
selection of each detector. Refer to “Detector Sensitivity Settings” on page 119 for more
information on detector sensitivity levels.

D.2.2 Maintenance Warnings – Three Levels

The software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches an unacceptable level

D.2.3 Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm

You can set each detector, except FST-851/751 (Heat), for Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm (PA=1). In
this Self-Optimizing mode, the software measures the normal peak analog readings and sets the
Pre-Alarm level just above these normal peaks. This allows extremely sensitive Pre-Alarm
capability with reasonable protection against non-fire signals. The figure below shows a graphical
representation of the Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm level:

D.2.4 Detector Sensitivity

The control panel provides nine Sensitivity Levels (Table D.2 on page 120) for alarm detection and
pre-alarm as follows:
• Alarm Sensitivity Levels You can select the sensitivity of a detector from 1-9 (1=highest
sensitivity; 9=lowest sensitivity).
• Pre-Alarm Sensitivity Levels You can select one of nine levels from 1 to 9 (0=no
Pre-Alarm, 1=self-optimizing, 2=highest sensitivity, 9=lowest sensitivity). You can set
Pre-Alarm operation to Action (latching) or Alert (non-latching) and to activate Special
Zones. For instructions on programming, refer to “Pre-Alarm” on page 118.
You can set the sensitivity levels as fixed or programmed for day and night operation. For details,
refer to “Coding Functions for Panel Circuit Outputs” on page 114.

D.2.5 Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing

Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing is the ability of a smoke detector to consider readings from
nearby detectors in making alarm or pre-alarm decisions. Each detector can include up to two other
detectors in its decision. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to resist false alarms, Cooperative
Multi-Detector Sensing allows a detector to increase its sensitivity to actual smoke by a factor of
almost 2 to 1. Ion, photo and laser detector types can participate. Cooperative Multi-Detector
Sensing also allows the combination of ionization with photoelectric technology in reaching an
alarm decision. The figure below shows a graph representing Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing:

D.3 Pre-Alarm
D.3.1 Definition
The Pre-Alarm function is a programmable option which determines the system’s response to real-
time detector sensing values above the programmed setting. Use the Pre-Alarm function to get an
early warning of incipient or potential fire conditions. There are two levels of Pre-Alarm:
• Alert (Refer to “Alert Level” below)
• Action (Refer to “Action Level” on page 119)
Alert and Action Pre-Alarm settings are set with point programming. Unique Pre-Alarm sensitivity
levels (PA) for individual detectors are listed in “Detector Sensitivity Settings” on page 119.
The LEDs on detectors polled in FlashScan mode will light steady green when in pre-alarm.
D.3.2 Alert Level

Alert Functions
The control panel software, in addition to checking for alarm levels, checks for Pre-Alarm
thresholds for each addressable, intelligent smoke detector programmed for Pre-Alarm. If a
detector’s real-time sensing level exceeds the programmed Alert threshold, the control panel
indicates a Pre-Alarm condition for the detector. The control panel does the following functions
when a detector reaches pre-alarm level:
• The Pre-Alarm message is sent to the History buffer and to installed printers. The message
is sent (and time stamped) at the time that it first occurred. This historical data could provide
valuable information about the progress of a fire.
• The PRE-ALARM LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses until acknowledged.
• Zone Z000 (general alarm) or any other zone and the System Trouble and System Alarm
relays do not activate.

Detector Sensitivity Settings AWACS™ Applications
• The Pre-Alarm indication for this detector will restore automatically to normal if its
sensitivity, programmable to one of nine settings, drops below pre-alarm level.
• A subsequent alarm for this detector also clears the Pre-Alarm indication.
D.3.3 Action Level

Action Functions
If you program a detector for Action Pre-Alarm and the detector reaches a level that exceeds the
programmed Pre-Alarm level, the control panel indicates an Action condition. The control panel
does the following functions when a detector reaches the programmed pre-alarm level:
• The Action message is sent to the History buffer and installed printers. The message is sent
(and time stamped) only at the time that it first occurred. This historical data could provide
valuable information about the progress of a fire.
• The PRE-ALARM LED and panel sounder pulse until acknowledged.
• The zone that is in the tenth position of the zone map for this detector activates. The tenth
zone is the right-most entry on line two of the detector zone map list in the Point
Programming screen. (For more information on detector zone positions, refer to Figure 3.25
and the accompanying text). The tenth zone can be used to control functions of a detector or
group of detectors once the pre-alarm level is reached. Tenth zone activations also allow
ACS annunciation by a detector or group of detectors in Action Pre-Alarm condition.
• Zone Z000 (general alarm) or any other zone and the System Trouble and System Alarm
relays do not activate.
• The Pre-Alarm condition and the zone programmed will latch until system reset, even if the
sensitivity drops below the pre-alarm level.
• A subsequent alarm condition for this detector clears the Action indication from the LCD
display alarm list.
D.4 Detector Sensitivity Settings

D.4.1 How to Select Pre-Alarm and Alarm Sensitivity
Each detector provides a host of selectable intelligent options. The control panel provides nine
levels of Pre-Alarm (PA:1–PA:9) and Alarm (AL:1–AL:9) in percent per foot obscuration:
• PA:0 no Pre-Alarm selection.
• PA:1 the self-optimizing setting where the control panel selects a suitable Pre-Alarm level
for a detector.
• PA:2–PA:9 the detector Pre-Alarm sensitivity level - with PA:2 the most sensitive and PA:9
the least sensitive.
• AL:1–AL:9 the detector Alarm sensitivity level - with AL:1 the most sensitive and AL:9
the least sensitive.

by referring to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
† Use only alarm sensitivity setting of AL=1, AL=2 or AL=3 for ION detectors installed in Canada.
‡ The use of alarm sensitivities below 0.50% obscuration per foot requires a 90 day test to ensure that the environment

D.4.2 To Test Detectors Set Below 0.50% Obscuration per Foot

Using alarm sensitivities below 0.50% obscuration per foot requires a 90-day test to ensure that the
detector environment is suitable for the higher sensitivity setting. To meet Notifier and
Underwriters Laboratory requirements, test each detector planned to operate below 0.50%/ft
obscuration as follows:
1. Set the detector as follows:
Step Action
1 Initially set to the 0.50% obscuration per foot Alarm level.
2 Set the Pre-Alarm level to the desired final Alarm sensitivity.
3 Set the Pre-Alarm to Alert mode (non-latching).
2. Operate detectors continuously for 90 days with all environmental factors (such as,
temperature, humidity, air flow, occupancy, and so on) similar to the intended application for
the detectors. Record all events for each tested detector with an electronic History buffer or a
printout.
3. At the end of the 90-day test: An authorized Notifier representative, or an end user trained by
an authorized Notifier representative must inspect the results of the test. If the test results show
no alarms or pre-alarms for the tested detectors, reprogram the fire alarm system to set the
Alarm sensitivity to the more sensitive Pre-Alarm level of the test.

Line 5 - Screen title and the address of the point being read
The area between the separator lines, lines 6-14, shows all information concerning the selected
point, which is L03D052 in the above example.
Line 6 - Line 6 displays two statistics that display for inputs (detectors and modules) and zones; in
the above example they are:
AUTOMATIC INACTIVE

Detector Status Display AWACS™ Applications
The first field displays the point control. There are three designations that could appear in this field
Point Control Description
Designation
AUTOMATIC The point is being controlled automatically by the panel.
DISABLED The point has been forced into a disabled state by an outside source.
TROUBLE The point is in a trouble state and is no longer functioning automatically.
The second field displays the point status. There are two designations that could appear in this field.
Point Status Description
Designation
INACTIVE The point is currently reporting no events.
ACTIVE The point is currently in an off-normal status.
PREALARM The point is currently in a prealarm status.
The device is a detector (an input device) so by referring to the descriptions below, it can be
determined that the point is in a normal state.
Inputs: (detectors, monitor modules, zones)
If the point is not in trouble or disabled, and the point is automatically controlled by the panel, the
display will be one of the following:
AUTOMATIC INACTIVE
AUTOMATIC ACTIVE
AUTOMATIC PREALARM
If the point is disabled, the display will be one of the following. The Trouble Status field will
appear if the point is in trouble.
DISABLED INACTIVE <Trouble Status>*
DISABLED ACTIVE <Trouble Status>*
DISABLED PREALARM <Trouble Status>*
If the point is in trouble, the display will read:
TROUBLE INACTIVE <Trouble Status>*

1.66%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 6.
PREALARM: 3=0.47% - Three is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector: its
value is 0.47%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 3.
Line 13
ACTION/STATUS: NONE/VERY CLEAN - This displays the maintenance status of the
device. The message that appears in this field depends on the drift compensation value. A
detector will automatically compensate for environmental contaminants and other factors over
time, until the tolerance value has been exceeded. The FACP will signal a trouble condition
when this level has been reached. Refer to the following table for messages and required
action.
Message Description
Replace/Malfunction Replace the defective detector. The detector may not

operate properly.
None/Very Clean No action necessary. The detector readings are near ideal.
None/Clean No action necessary. Although not ideal, the detector will

activate at the selected sensitivity level.
None/Fairly Clean No action necessary. The detector will activate at the

selected sensitivity level.
Needs Cleaning Clean the detector soon. The detector may cause a false
alarm because it has reached the drift compensation
tolerance value.
Needs Immediate Cleaning Clean immediately! The detector is a false alarm risk. The
drift compensation tolerance value has been exceeded.
Line 13 will not display for Acclimate detectors.

Line 14
PEAKS: 56% - This value represents the highest percent per foot obscuration reading taken by
this detector. It can be a historical figure, and does not necessarily represent the highest reading
for this particular alarm. Re-initializing the detector would reset this value to zero.
VERIFY COUNT: 02 - This displays the number of times the detector has gone into alarm.
This count aids in differentiating false alarms from actual alarms by showing repeated alarm
events that have come into the device. In this example, the detector has gone into alarm two
times since the verification count was begun. The FACP will signal a trouble condition when
the verify count exceeds 20.
CO-OP: D100,158 - Indicates the address(es) of any detector(s) linked with the detector that’s in
alarm for Co-operative Multi-Alarm Sensing. This field will not display for Acclimate detectors.
Line 15 - The current time and date are displayed in this line.
Appendix E: CBE: Zones and Equations
CBE (Control-By-Event) is a software function that provides a means to program a variety of
output responses based on various initiating events. The control panel operates CBE through lists of
zones. A zone becomes listed when it is added to a point’s zone map through point programming.
• Each input point (detector, monitor module, Panel Circuit module) can list up to ten zones.
Allowable zone types are general zone, releasing zone, and special zone.
• Each output point (control module, Panel Circuit module) can list up to ten zones.
Allowable zone types are general zone, logic zone, releasing zone, special zone, and trouble
zone.
• Output points can list zone Z000 (general alarm). Non-Alarm or Supervisory points do not
activate zone Z000 (general alarm).
Networked CBE, or CCBE (Cooperative Control-By-Event), provides CBE initiating-event/output-
response relationships over the network through general, logic, and/or trouble zones. One of these
zones, programmed into the zone maps of points on this panel and points on other nodes, will
create network cause-and-effect relationships based on the type and content of the zone.
E.1 Zones
There are five types of zones that may be listed to a point for CBE purposes.
Zone Type Description/Function
General Zone A general zone is used to link input and output devices. When an input device activates, any general zone
in its zone map will be active, and any output device that has an active general zone in its map will be
active. General zones can be used as arguments in logic equations.
Zone Z000 is a general alarm zone: those points listing Z000 in their zone map participate in a general
alarm.
The panel will support up to 1000 general zones, designated as Z0 through Z999. General zones can be
used in CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Logic Zone A logic zone consists of a logic equation. Whenever the logic equation becomes true, all output points
mapped to the logic zone will activate.
The panel will support up to 1000 logic zones, designated as ZL1 through ZL1000. Logic zones can be
used in CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Trouble Zone A trouble zone consists of a trouble equation. Whenever the trouble equation becomes true, all output
points mapped to the trouble zone will activate.
The panel will support up to one hundred trouble zones, designated as ZT001 through ZT100. Trouble
zones can be used in CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Releasing Zone A releasing zone is used to control a releasing operation.

The panel will support up to ten releasing zones, designated as ZR00 through ZR09.
Special Zone ZF0 An output participates in Presignal with this special zone in its zone map.
ZF1 (Trouble less AC) An ouput programmed to turn on/off if a system trouble - other than an AC
power loss - occurs.
ZF2 (AC Trouble) An output programmed to turn on/off if an AC power loss or a brownout
condition occurs.
ZF3 (Security) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Security input activates.
ZF4 (Supervisory) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Supervisory input activates.
ZF5 Alternate An input programmed to switch from the active detector alarm sensitivities to the
Sensitivity Activation alternate alarm sensitivities when a non-fire point with ZF5 in its CBE activates.
ZF8 A panel output participates in March or Temporal time coding (depending on the
global setting) with this special zone in its zone map.
ZF9 An output programmed to turn on/off if a PreAlarm is active (ALERT, ACTION).
Time, date and holiday functions, which were formerly determined through special zones, are now defined in the panel
programming section of this manual.
Table E.1 Zone Table

CBE: Zones and Equations Equations
E.2 Equations
Logic and Trouble Equations can define complex relationships between input and output devices.
The FACP supports up to 1000 Logic Equations, each designated with a Logic Zone number of
ZL1 through ZL1000. It also supports up to ten Trouble Equations, each designated with a Trouble
Zone number of ZT001 through ZT100. Once created, these equations can be included in
input/output zone mapping.
1. Equations will always begin with a logic function. The function set is listed below.
2. Equations will be a maximum of 80 characters long, including parentheses and commas.
3. Logic and Trouble Equations can have a maximum of 10 logic functions unless a time delay
function is used: a time delay function must be the only function in its equation.
4. Equations are evaluated after all other devices have been evaluated.
5. One logic equation can be used as an argument in another logic equation, or one trouble
equation can be used in another trouble equation, only if the equation used has previously been
evaluated; that is, only zones with a lower number than the zone currently being edited can be
used as arguments.
6. A logic function can have a maximum of 20 arguments (inclusive start and stop address).
7. Maximum for the delay timer is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds (23:59:59).
Equations are entered using Point Programming for logic or trouble zones. Refer to these sections
in this manual for instruction. The panel will check for errors after the user has entered the
complete equation. Possible errors are too many or two few parentheses, too many or two few
arguments inside the parentheses, unknown function and unknown device type.
Equations are made up of two basic components: functions (either logic or time delay) and
arguments.
E.2.1 Arguments
Arguments are discrete parts of a logic or time delay function used in a logic or trouble equation.
They can consist of another function, another equation, or any of the the devices listed below.

(Nxxx)ZL1 - (Nxxx)ZL1000 logic zones (1000)
xx = loop number (01 through 10)
(Nxxx) = Node number, necessary for CCBE programming. The node number identifies what
node the panel will watch for a particular zone activation.
Table E.2 Table of Arguments
E.2.2 Logic Equations

Logic Functions
The “AND” Operator
Requires that each argument be active.
Example: AND(Z02,Z05,L2D12)
All three arguments in the equation must be active for the logic zone to be activated.
The “OR” Operator

Equations CBE: Zones and Equations
Requires that any argument be active

Example: OR(Z02,Z05,L2D12)
If any one of the three arguments in the equation is active the logic zone will be activated.
The “NOT” Operator
Inverts the state of the argument (activated to deactivated OR deactivated to activated).
Example: NOT(Z02)
The logic zone will remain activated until the argument activates.
If the argument activates the logic zone will deactivate.
The “ONLY1” Operator
Requires that only one argument be active.
Example: ONLY1(Z02,Z05,Z09)
If only one of the arguments activates the logic zone will be activated.
The “ANYX” Operator
Requires that the amount of arguments specified by the number preceding the arguments be
active.
Example: ANYX(2,Z02,Z05,Z09)
If any two or more of the arguments are in alarm the output point will be activated.
The X amount may be a value from 1 through 9.
The “XZONE” Operator
Requires that any combination of two or more input devices programmed to a zone be active.
Example: XZONE(Z02)
If any combination of two or more initiating devices that have been mapped to this software
zone come into alarm, then outputs mapped to this zone will activate.
The “RANGE” Operator
Each argument within the range must conform to the requirements of the governing function.
The range limit is 20 consecutive arguments.
Example: AND(RANGE(Z1,Z20))
Zone 1 through Zone 20 must all be active to activate the logic zone.
Time-based Functions
The panel supports three time-based functions: DEL, SDEL, and TIM. Special rules apply to an
equation containing a time-based function:
• Only one time-based function may be used in an equation.
• The time-based function must appear only once, as the first entry of the equation.
• It may not be nested within parentheses in the equation.
• Logic functions may be used in an equation that begins with a DEL or SDEL time-based
function: however, they must appear within parentheses following the time-based function.
Delay and duration times are in 24-hour format (HHMMSS); the allowable range is 00:00:00 to
23:59:59.
The “DEL” Function
Used for delayed operation.
Example: DEL(HH.MM.SS, HH.MM.SS,AND(L1M1,L1M140))
• The first HH.MM.SS is the delay time, the second HH.MM.SS is the duration time. If the
argument - AND(L1M1,L1M140) - in the example above activates, the function becomes
true after the argument has been active for the delay time, and continues to be true for the
duration time as long as the argument stays active. If the argument goes inactive during the
delay time or the duration time, the function reverts to false and the timing would begin all
over again if reactivated.

CBE: Zones and Equations Equations
• If duration time of zero is entered (00.00.00), the equation will evaluate true when the delay
time expires if the argument remains active throughout the delay time period.
• If no duration or delay is specified, then the function will follow the input argument,
indicating true while it is active and false when it is inactive. DEL assumes a value of false
on reset.
The “SDEL” Function
A latched version of the DEL function.
Example: SDEL(HH.MM.SS, HH.MM.SS,L1M140)
• The first HH.MM.SS is the delay time, the second HH.MM.SS is the duration time. If the
argument (L1M140 in the example above) activates, the function becomes true after the
delay time, and will remain active for the duration even if the argument becomes inactive
during either the delay or duration time.
• If delay time of zero is entered (00.00.00), the equation will evaluate true as soon as the
argument (L1M140) activates and will remain that way for the specified duration, even if
the argument becomes inacative during that time.
• If no duration or delay time is specified, then the argument will not deactivate until reset,
even if the argument becomes inactive.
The “TIM” Operator
The TIM function is used to specify activation on specific days of the week or year.
Examples:
TIM(7-11-04) will evaluate as true for 24 hours starting at midnight (00:00:00) on July 11,
2004.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,08:00:00,23:00:00) will evaluate as true at 8:00 AM and remain true
until 11:00 PM (23:00) for the list of days supplied.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,08:00:00) will evaluate as true at 8:00 AM and remain true until
23:59:59 of the current day for the list of days supplied.
TIM(TU,07:45:00,18:30:00) will evaluate as true every Tuesday between 7:45 AM until 6:30
PM.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR) will evaluate as true from Monday morning at 12:01 AM until
Friday evening at 11:59:00 PM.
Logic Equation Syntax Example
OR(AND(L1D1,L1D4),AND(L2D6,L2M3,NOT(L2M4)),ANY2(L1M13,L1M14,L1M15))
Equation begins with a logic function - OR
67 Characters (maximum of 80) - includes parentheses and commas.
5 Logic Functions (maximum of 10) - OR, AND, AND, NOT and ANY2.
8 Arguments (maximum of 20 per logic function) - L1D1,L1D4,L2D6,L2M3,L2M4....
The equation contains no spaces.
Evaluating an Equation
To evaluate an equation, start from the innermostpart of the equation and work outwards. For this
equation to evaluate TRUE and thus turn on any output mapped to it, the following conditions must
be met:

Equations CBE: Zones and Equations
OR(AND(L1D1,L1D4),AND(L2D6,L2M3,NOT(L2M4)),ANY2(L1M13,L1M14,L1M15))
These These have Any TWO of

have to be to be ON.......and this OFF these have to be
ON ON
for this part to be TRUE for this part to be TRUE for this part to be TRUE
When this is TRUE OR When this is TRUE OR When this is TRUE
Then all outputs programmed with this equation will be turned ON.
E.2.3 Trouble Equations

A trouble equation follows the same syntax rules as the logic equation. The system allows up to a
hundred trouble equations, ZT001 through ZT100. It differs from a logic equation in the following
manner:
• Equations evaluate as true when the arguments go into trouble.
• Argument entries may consist of system trouble codes. Refer to Appendix H, “System
Troubles” for a listing of these codes.
Examples:
AND(L1M149,L2M110) will evaluate as true when both arguments go into trouble.
OR(ZT049,ZT050) will evaluate as true when either argument goes into trouble.

Notes

Appendix F: Detector Initialization
F.1 Overview
The control panel automatically performs a detector initialization routine when a detector is added
or changed.
The detector initialization routine takes approximately 2.5 minutes. During this time, the detector
being initialized does not perform fire protection functions. The LEDs of detectors polled in
FlashScan mode will latch a steady green while initializing, and return to blinking green when
initialization is over.
While initializing a detector, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the detector is free of residual smoke during detector initialization.
• Do not test a detector during detector initialization.
NOTE: The control panel only performs detector initialization if it senses that a detector was
removed for at least 15 seconds.
WARNING:
If any detector is replaced with a different type of detector (for example, a laser detector is replaced
with a photoelectric detector), the control panel must be programmed immediately with the new
detector Type Code. Failure to do so can cause incorrect control panel operation, including false
alarms.
F.2 To Replace a Detector with a Different Type of Detector

If one type of detector is replaced with a different type of detector, the control panel must
immediately be programmed for the new detector type. To replace a detector, follow these steps:
Step Action
1 Delete the old detector point from FACP programming using the “Delete Point” screen on
page page 57.
2 Physically remove the old detector.
3 Enter point programming for this point and change the Type and FlashScan Code Label to
the values appropriate for the new detector. (Refer to “Detector Point” on page 38 for
programming instructions).
4 Physically install the new detector. Initialization will occur automatically

Appendix G: Type Codes
G.1 What are Type Codes?

Type Codes are software selections for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and
output devices (control modules, NACs, and Panel Circuits). Some Type Codes are self-
explanatory; that is, the Type Code matches the function of the device, such as a “Monitor” for a
monitor module, “Smoke(photo)” for a photoelectric detector, and so on. Type codes also provide
special functions, such as activating switches, solenoids, and control panel functions. FlashScan
devices are assigned a special FlashScan code.
G.2 How to Select a Type Code

Type Codes are selected at the Point Programming screens. Refer to the Point Program section of
this manual for instructions.
This appendix contains detailed descriptions of Type Codes for input and output devices, as listed
below:

AIR REF fire Y Y Assign to one or more FSL-751 detectors used to monitor the quality
of air entering the protected area. The air quality measurement allows
the VIEW system to compensate for vehicle fumes, fog, or other
particles brought into the protected area through the ventilation
system. Poor air quality will lower the sensitivity of all FSL-751
detectors on the SLC. The detector sensitivity, however, remains
within approved limits (always less than 1% obscuration per foot).
Note: A reference detector still functions as a smoke detector, but the detector sensitivity level should be set to the least sensitive level—AL:9 and
PA:9 Alarm and Pre-Alarm sensitivity. Refer to “Detector Sensitivity Settings” on page 119 for a complete list of detector sensitivity settings.

Glossary
0.1 Glossary
This section contains descriptions of terms essential to know when programming the control panel.
Alarm History See History buffer.
Alarm Verification Timer A user-defined global software timer function that can reduce the
number of nuisance alarms. When you select Alarm Verification for a detector, the control panel
delays an alarm signal for a user-specified time period. (The control panel ignores the Alarm
Verification Timer if it detects another alarm during the verification period.)
Argument An argument is a discrete part of a logic function used in a CBE logic or trouble
equation. It can consist of panel/SLC addresses for detectors, modules, panel modules, zones,
special function zones, logic or trouble equations.
Auto Silence Timer A user-defined global software timer that functions like pressing the signal
silence key. The control panel silences all active outputs programmed as silenceable once the timer
has reached the selected time. For example, if 20 minutes is selected, when the timer reaches 20
minutes the control panel turns off all active outputs programmed as silenceable.
Autoprogram A software routine that directs the control panel to identify and automatically load
SLC-connected devices into the program with default values for all parameters. The Autoprogram
Finds and displays all new or missing intelligent detectors and modules--while ignoring devices
already installed in memory--so you can edit default option selections. Typically, you Autoprogram
the control panel as a first step in a new installation, or to add devices.
Control module An addressable module that a) switches power to a Style Y or Style Z NAC; or b)
functions as a Form-C control relay.
CBE (Control-by-Event) A programming method that lets you map inputs and outputs to provide a
variety of output responses based on various initiating conditions (events).
CLIP poll - Classic Loop Interface Protocol - CLIP - is standard polling of each intelligent device
(as differentiated from FlashScan poll, a method of group polling described below).
DCC (Display and Control Center) - Term for a display location, programmed to participate in
DCC, when it has control of Acknowledge, Signal Silence, System Reset and Drill functions.
Drift Compensation An algorithm which permits the maintenance of a constant smoke detector
sensitivity by accounting for environmental contaminants and other factors.
Download A function for loading a system program from a file on a personal computer and storing
the program in system memory of the control panel. Also see Veri•Fire.
FlashScan poll - a patented system (US Patent Number 5,539,389) that enhances the speed of
communication between analog intelligent devices. Communication is in a grouped fashion. When
one of the devices within the group has new information, the panel CPU stops the group poll and
concentrates on single points.
History buffer The control panel maintains a history buffer of the last 4000 events, each with a
time and date stamp. History events include all alarms, troubles, operator actions, and
programming entries. The control panel also maintains a 1000-event Alarm History buffer, which
consists of the 1000 most recent alarm events from the 4000-event history buffer.
latching An attribute of a device that keeps it in an active state until the condition causing the
activation is corrected and the panel is reset.
Missing device A device that exists in a program, but is not found by the control panel during
Autoprogram, typically because the device is disconnected.

Glossary
NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) A circuit or path directly connected to a notification

appliance device (a fire alarm system component--such as a bell, speaker, strobe, and so on--that
produces an audible output, a visual output, or both). On this panel, NACs can be panel circuits,
control modules or transponder points.
New device A device connected to the control panel, but not in program memory.
Non-latching An attribute of a device that follows the state of the fire alarm system. That is, if a
device is non-latching, it returns to its normal state automatically when the condition clears.
Notification Appliance Circuit see NAC.
Obscuration A reduction in the atmospheric transparency caused by smoke, usually expressed in
percent per foot.
Output circuit A control module connected to the SLC, a device connected to one of the four
NACs, or a Panel Circuit, such as an ICM-4.
Panel Circuit A circuit on a module connected to the control panel through connectors on the
control panel. The control panel identifies a Panel Circuit with the addressing convention Px.x. For
example P1.4, indicates Panel Circuit 4 on the first-position module connected to the control panel.
Point A system memory address occupied by an addressable SLC device, Software Zone, or
annunciator. For example, the control panel considers “L01M102”, a module on loop 1 at address
102, as a point.
Panel sounder The piezo sounder on control panel, that pulses when troubles and alarms occur.
Primary zone The zone in the first position of a point’s zone map. The FACP looks at this zone for
certain functions, such as some Cross Zone activations or Walk Test participation.
Silence Inhibit Timer A user-defined timer that disables the signal silence key function for the
programmed time (0-300 seconds) when a fire alarm occurs. All subsequent alarms can be silenced
immediately.
SLC (Signaling Line Circuit) A physical wire loop used to connect addressable detectors and
modules to the control panel.
General Zone A label, internal to the fire alarm system, assigned to a group of addressable
devices.
Switch Inhibit A software function that allows the programming of control modules, NACs, and
Panel Circuits so an operator cannot manually activate NACs. With Switch Inhibit enabled, an
operator cannot manually activate the NACs from the control panel.
System Normal message A message that displays on the second line of the LCD display during
normal operation of the control panel.
System Reset Pressing the System Reset fixed function key will clear all latched alarms and other
events if the initiating condition is gone. LEDs associated with these events will turn off.
Unacknowledged events will not prevent reset from functioning. If alarms or other off-normal
events exist after reset, they will resound the system. The System Reset key will not function if the
programmable Silence Inhibit timer is running.
The System Reset key will not immediatedly silence active outputs. If the Control-by-event
programming for the output evaluates false after reset, the output will deactivate. (Typically this is
30 seconds local, 60 seconds network.)
Terminal Interface EIA-232 bidirectional serial port used for upload and download functions.
Tracking An attribute of a device that allows it to enter an active state when a condition causes its
activation, then to return from an active to an inactive state when the condition causing its
activation is corrected.

Glossary
Type Code A Type Code is a software function that specifies the function of a detector, control
module, monitor module, transponder point, NAC, or Panel Circuit point. (You can select a Type
Code while programming a point). The Type Code specifies what action the control panel takes
when the point activates. For example, when a monitor module with evacuate as a Type Code
activates, the control panel activates all outputs, as if someone pressed the drill key.
Upload A function for making a copy of a system program and storing the program as a file on a
personal computer. Also see VeriFire™ Tools Programming Utility.
View (Very Intelligent Early Warning) System A smoke detection system, consisting of the
NFS-3030 control panel and LPX-751 laser detectors, that provides very early warning of
smoldering fires.
VeriFire™ Tools Program Utility A software utility for uploading and downloading a system
program between a personal computer and the control panel through the EIA-232 port.
Walk Test A feature that lets a single (qualified) maintenance person to test a fire alarm control
panel and initiating devices without causing the control panel to enter into an alarm state.
Zone Map SLC and panel circuit inputs (detectors and monitor modules) and outputs (control
modules) provide for up to ten zone selections for CBE.
