Appendix F: Type Codes
F.1 What Are Type Codes?
Type Codes are software selections for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and
output devices (control modules and NACs). 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.
F.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:
F.3 Alarm Devices
Devices programmed with the type codes BELL CIRCUIT, SPEAKER, CONTROL NAC,
ALARM DEVICE, or NAC are considered “Alarm Devices”. These devices can be collectively be
disabled or placed into test using the Alarm Devices Disable or Alarm Device Test keys on the fire
panel keypad. Special Function zones ZF7, ZF25, and ZF30 are used to monitor the state of Alarm
Devices. These special function zones allow the state of the Alarm Devices to be used in logic and
fault equations.
F.4 Type Codes for Input Devices
F.4.1 Overview
This section provides a list of Type Codes for intelligent detectors and for monitor modules. The
following Point Types light an LED at the panel when activated.
• fire alarm - lights the FIRE ALARM LED
• supervisory - lights the SUPERVISORY LED
• fault - lights the FAULT LED
F.4.2 Type Codes for Intelligent Detectors
Following is a list of intelligent detector Type Codes, which specify the type of detector installed at
an SLC address.
