NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) A circuit or path directly connected to a
notification appliance. (Notification appliances include bells, strobes, and horns that
produce an audible signal, visual signal, or both.) You can use an NAC for coding
functions (March Time, California Code, Temporal, and Two Stage).
new device New devices include detectors and modules connected to the SLC (TB6)
that do not exist in the current program.
obscuration A smoke measurement, usually expressed in percent per foot (30.48 cm),
that calculates reduction in the atmospheric transparency caused by smoke.
panel circuit One of four NACs (B01, B02, B03, or B04) available through TB2 on
the control panel that connects to a notification appliance (such as a bell, strobe, horn,
and so on). Each NAC can be programmed with CBE.
point A detector, module, or panel circuit properly installed, addressed, and
programmed into the control panel.
Programming Keypad A set of keys on the membrane panel used for data entry and
selection while programming the control panel.
Relay Module An addressable module that controls a Form-C relay.
SLC device An addressable detector, control, monitor or relay module connected to
the control panel through TB6.
Type Code is a control panel software entity that defines the function of a detector,
control, monitor or relay module, or panel circuit.
3.2.7 How to Avoid Programming Errors
You can avoid programming errors by making sure to follow these guidelines:
General Alarm (Z00)
If programming general alarm (Z00), note the following:
• Do not program a general alarm (Z00) to a releasing function.
• Do not program a general alarm (Z00) without an input point.
Releasing Zone (91–94)
If programming releasing zones (91–94), note the following:
• Do not program a releasing zone input (91–94) without at least one mapped
RELEASE CKT
output.
• Do not program a
RELEASE CKT
output without programming at least one releasing
zone input (91–94).
• Do not program a releasing zone input (91–94) without programming at least one
MAN
.
RELEASE
zone.
• Do not program an Abort timer selected with Delay=00.
Cross Zones
If programming cross zones, a programming error will occur with any of the following
conditions:
• A releasing zone, cross-zoned as type H, without at least one smoke detector and
one heat detector mapped to the same releasing zone.
• A missing releasing input on cross-zoning function
• A missing different zone on releasing cross zone Z.
• A missing associated zone on releasing cross zoning.
Time Control (Z95, Z96)
• Do not program a time control function (Z95, Z96) as a releasing function.
• Do not program a heat detector to a time control zone (Z95, Z96).
