Type Codes for Output Devices
Overview
This section provides Type Codes for control modules, NACs, and Panel Circuits. For instructions on
programming Type Codes, refer to “How to Modify or Delete a Point (2=point)” on page 21.
Type Codes for Control Modules
A comprehensive list of control module Type Codes, which you can select to change the function of an
control module point.

Type Code
Silenceable
(Y/N)
Configuration Device Function
CONTROL Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
RELAY Y Form-C relay Relay output
BELL CIRCUIT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
STROBE CKT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
HORN CIRCUIT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
AUDIBLE CKT Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
SPEAKER Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
ISOLATED NAC Y NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance, used with audio isolators. Activates
even if there is a short on its NAC circuit. For ULC installations only.
ISOLATED SPK Y NAC Supervised NAC for speaker circuits, used with audio isolators. Activates even if
there is a short on its audio circuit. For ULC installations only.
REL END BELL N NAC Supervised NAC for notification appliance
blank Y NAC Supervised NAC (for use when no other Type Code applies)
REL CKT ULC N NAC Releasing Circuit, power-limited, supervised for opens, shorts and ground faults
(always non-silenceable)
RELEASE CKT N NAC Releasing circuit, nonpower-limited, supervised for opens and ground faults
RELEA.FORM C N Form-C Relay Relay output, contacts operate upon release
REL AUDIBLE Y NAC NAC, activated upon release
NONRESET CTL N Form-C Relay and NAC Relay output, unaffected by “System Reset” command
TELEPHONE N NAC Standard Telephone circuit
INSTANT RELE N NAC NAC, short = normal; supervised for open circuits and ground faults. Always non-
silenceable and switch-inhibited.
ALARMS PEND. N NAC Output that will activate upon receipt of an alarm condition, and remain in the
alarm state until all alarms have been acknowledged. It is programmed as “switch
inhibit”.
CONTROL NAC Y NAC Supervised NAC
GEN ALARM N NAC
Control Module, an XPC-8 circuit, or an
XP5-C (in NAC mode) configured as a
Municipal Box Transmitter for NFPA 72-1999 Auxiliary Fire Alarm Systems
applications. This Type ID can also be used for general alarm activation. It is
programmed as “switch inhibit”.
GEN SUPERVIS N NAC
Control Module, an XPR-8 relay, or an
XP5-C (in relay mode) activated under any
Supervisory condition (includes sprinkler type). It is programmed as “switch inhibit”.
GEN TROUBLE N NAC
Control Module, an XPR-8 relay, or an
XP5-C (in relay mode) activated under any
System Trouble condition. It is programmed as “switch inhibit”.
GENERAL PEND N NAC
Control Module, an XPC-8 circuit, or an
XP5-C (in NAC mode) that will activate
upon receipt of an alarm and/or trouble condition, and remain in the ON state until
all events have been ACKNOWLEDGED.
TROUBLE PEND N NAC
Control Module, an XPC-8 circuit, or an
XP5-C (in NAC mode) that will activate
upon receipt of a trouble condition, and remain in the ON state until all troubles
have been ACKNOWLEDGED. It is programmed as “switch inhibit”.
