How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Fire Control Point
A point with a Type ID of FIRE CONTROL is used for air handler shutdown, intended to override
normal operating automatic functions.
Activation of a
FIRE CONTROL point causes the control panel to do the following:
•Initiates the monitor module Control-by-Event
•Send a message to the panel display, History buffer, installed printer and annunciators
•Does NOT light an indicator at the control panel
•Displays ACTIVE in the upper left corner of the LCD, as well as a
FIRE CONTROL Type Code
and other information specific to the device
How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Non-fire Point
A point with a Type ID of NON-FIRE is used for energy management or other non-fire situations.
NON-FIRE point operation does not affect control panel operation, nor does it display a message at
the panel LCD. Activation of a
NON-FIRE point activates CBE—but does not cause any indication
on the control panel. For example, you can program a
NON-FIRE point to turn lights in a zone to a
lower setting when activated. In this case, when the point activates the control panel activates the
point’s CBE to turn the lights down without any audio or visual indication on the control panel.
