While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of
smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull st ati ons, audib le
warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote
notification capability—can provi de early warn ing of a develop ing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection
against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the
recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association S tandard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System
Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all
installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United S tates government)
indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as
35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning
or protection against fire. A fire alarm syst em may n ot provide
timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a
variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behi nd walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building.
A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a firstfloor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors
because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before
reaching the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing
chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires d evelop in dif ferent
ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type
of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector
may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and
alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a prede termined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over t ime.
For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect
property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the
same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so
located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people
if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building .
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilep sy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them
on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from st and by
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire al arm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be
followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or
high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled
monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and
should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm
installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections
should be kept.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this
unit until manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or sof tware functions known
to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addit ion,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected,
at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected
by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be
tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity (non condensing) of
85% at 30°C (86°F) per NFPA, and 93% ± 2% at 32°C ± 2°C
(89.6°F ± 1.1°F) per ULC. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electro nic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperatu re range s and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its
peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room
temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate more than a
10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subject ed to light ning induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interference, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or out side aerial
wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility
to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or
inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty wit h screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect ele c tronic
assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the inst al lati on, opera ting, and pr ogramming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and rel iability depend upon prop er inst allatio n.

The IFC-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications. The JCPU-3030 comes with a front display/keypad option, which allows
programming and viewing options at the panel.
There are two basic configuration options for the IFC-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 instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the IFC-3030, the panel 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 Display/Keypad" on
page 10 of this manual).
Refer to VeriFire™ Tools or the JNCA manual for information on programming without an IFC3030 display/keypad.

1.5 Message Formats
This section describes the formats for system normal, device events and system events screens. For
a definition of these types of events, as well as instructions for dealing with them, refer to Section
2, "Operation of the Control Panel" in this manual.
1.5.1 System Normal Screen
The System Normal message appears at the top of the display when no off-normal events exist. It
consists of two lines, each 40 characters long. Line one is a custom network message. Line 2 is a
standard message giving the System Normal message, the time, day of the week, and date. The
Main Menu is selectable using the lower right soft key.
A custom graphic may be displayed below the system normal message: the graphic must be entered
using VeriFire™ Tools. The text “Main Menu” will overlay the graphic, if it extends into the last
line of the display.
1.5.2 Event Reporting Format
The message formats used for event reporting appear at the top of the display, replacing the System
Normal message. There are two basic types of message formats: point event formats, which are
generated from changes in the state of SLC and panel devices, and system event formats, which are
generated from system errors and troubles.
Point Events Format
When a change of state occurs to an SLC or panel point device, a message is generated to the panel
that displays on the top of the LCD screen, and soft keys display available functions that may be
used to handle the event. The top four lines contain the event and point information. Event counts
display in the next three lines, the current time and soft key information appears after the event
counts.
The format of the first line will vary slightly as follows, depending on the type of event:

the information entered.
Pressing an ACCEPT soft key will save 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 panel can not read a specified point (that is, if the point entered on the screen for
processing does not exist in the panel’s programming) 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.

VALUES:
The screen displays the Alarm and Prealarm values that are in effect when more information is
requested. For example, if occupied settings are in effect, occupied values will display.
121% OF ALARM - This field gives the detector reading as it relates to its preprogrammed
alarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example above shows the
detector exceeding the alarm level by 21%.
Note: For Beam detectors in CLIP mode, the alarm value will always equal zero (0)% when it
is not in alarm or 100% when it is in alarm.
145% OF PREALARM - This field gives the detector reading as it relates to its
preprogrammed prealarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example
above shows the detector exceeding the prealarm level by 45%.
Line 12
The screen displays the Alarm and Prealarm levels that are in effect when more information is
requested. For example, if unoccupied settings are in effect, they will display.
ALARM: 6=1.66% - Six is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector: its
value is 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.
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.
MessageDescription

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 is exceeded.

Pressing the Program/Alter Status soft key brings up screens for panel programming, point
programming, autoprogramming, clear programming, altering the status of points, walk test, and
other information. A password is required. Refer to this panel’s programming manual for
information on these functions.
1.7.7 Printer Functions
Pressing the Printer Functions soft key brings up screens to print reports. Refer to the section
"Printing Reports" on page 55 for descriptions and illustrations. This key will appear only if a
printer has been selected through programming. Refer to this panel’s programmming manual for
information on printer selection.
The control panel periodically checks for events. An event can be any change in the status of a
device, a transfer of information between a device and the FACP, or a transfer of information
between two devices. Some events are considered background events and are not seen by the user.
The events that are of primary concern to the operator are those identified as off-normal events. An
off-normal event is an event which indicates activity or change in condition that requires the
attention and/or response of an operator. Examples of possible off-normal events are:
•Activation or change in condition of a monitoring device such as a detector or module
•System troubles, such as battery problems, device supervision problems, etc.
When there are no off-normal events, the panel displays the System Normal screen (refer to Figure
2.1). When there is an off-normal event, the panel will display it (for event formats, refer to "Event
Reporting Format" on page 13 ). The action required will vary according to the type of event.
2.1.1 System Normal
The system operates in System Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In this mode, the
control panel displays a System Normal message as follows
LAKEVIEW GENERAL HOSPITAL
SYSTEM NORMAL
11:58:45A WED AUG 25, 2004
MAIN MENU
Figure 2.1 System Normal Screen
The control panel performs the following functions at regular intervals:
•Polls all SLC devices and Panel Circuits to check for valid replies, alarms, troubles, circuit
integrity, and supervisory signals, etc.
•Checks power supply troubles and batteries
•Refreshes the panel display and updates time
•Scans for any panel screen, keypad, and Control Key entries
•Performs a detector automatic test operation
•Tests system memory
•Monitors for microcontroller failure
No action is required of the operator when the panel is operating in Normal mode.
2.1.2 Acknowledging an Event
When the panel detects an off-normal event and the information is displayed on-screen, one of the
soft keys displayed on the screen is ACKNOWLEDGE. Use this key to respond to new alarm or
trouble signals. When this key is pressed, the control panel does the following:
•It silences the piezo sounder on the panel if it is enabled
•It transfers the event to the history buffer
•If the panel is networked, it will send a network message.
There are two types of acknowledge; point and block. Point acknowledge is for fire alarms: fire
alarms are acknowledged one at a time when the Acknowledge soft key is pressed. Block
acknowledge is for all other types of off-normal events: these events are acknowledged all at the
same time, with a single stroke to the Acknowledge soft key.
Note: If Local Control is disabled, acknowledgements can not be made by pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE soft key on the panel display. Events must be acknowledged from a
preprogrammed remote location. When DCC (Display and Control Center) participation is enabled,
panel acknowledgement can be performed when it is the DCC. When it is not, permission must be
granted from the DCC before the panel can make an acknowledgement. Pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE soft key will automatically request permission from the DCC.
Note: If the panel is programmed for Receive Mode, events and the clearing of events must be
handled one at a time: each event must be acknowledged, and each clear (whether the clear occurs
automatically or as the result of a panel reset) must be acknowledged.
1.Check the Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key
to display the MORE INFORMATION screen and view additional information on the device and
possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. ( Refer to Figure 1.7 on page 17 for an
example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
2.Correct the condition causing the alarm.
3.When the alarm condition is corrected, press the SYSTEM RESET soft key to return the control
panel to normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message). The control panel
sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed printer.
The soft key PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS is also displayed on this screen. A password is required
to enter these menus, which are described in the IFC-3030 Programming manual.
2.2.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the fire alarm. For example, a monitor module with a
code means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the Type ID code is
unfamiliar, refer to "Software Type ID Codes" on page 63. This appendix is an alphabetical list of
Type ID codes with an explanation of each.

2.3.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Systemor PointTrouble
A system or point trouble occurs when the control panel detects an electrical or mechanical fault. The panel
will react differently depending on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
•Produces a pulsed audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
•Activates the Trouble relay (TB3)
•Flashes the

are shown in the figures below)
•Sends a Trouble message to the history buffer, installed printer and annunciators
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains the
indications of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while activating
the Trouble relay, flashing the
history buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
A system trouble message is shown in Figure 2.3, and a point trouble is shown in Figure 2.4. Refer

2.3.4 Interpreting Type ID Codes
The T ype ID code that displays in a point trouble message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the trouble. For example, a monitor module with a
means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the Type ID code is unfamiliar,
refer to "Software Type ID Codes" on page 63. This appendix is an alphabetical list of Type ID
codes and an explanation of each.
The Pre-alarm function is used to receive an early warning of potential or incipient fire conditions.
The Pre-alarm function provides one of two settings as follows:
•Alert – a non-latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed
Pre-alarm sensitivity threshold. Non-latching means the condition will automatically restore to
normal once the detector’s sensitivity readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold.
•Action – a latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed
Pre-alarm level. Latching means the condition will not restore itself to normal once the
detector’s sensitivity readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold. The panel must be reset.
Alert and Action settings are set individually with detector point programming. Individual detector
sensitivity threshold settings can have a value of one through nine, and are set by the programmer.
A sensitivity threshold setting of zero indicates the detector does not participate in prealarm.
For more detailed information on Pre-alarm, refer to this panel’s programming manual.
2.4.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Pre-alarm
When a detector activates a Pre-alarm, the control panel does the following if there are no higher
priority unacknowledged events:
•Pulses the panel sounder (if the piezo is enabled)
•Flashes the
•Displays
type code and other information specific to the detector as shown in Figure 2.5.
•Sends a Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains indications
of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while flashing the
LED and sending a Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
The Pre-alarm screen display is the same for both alert and action conditions. Following is a sample
screen for a Pre-alarm message.

The Type ID code that displays in a pre-alarm message is related to the type and function of the
detector point that initiates the pre-alarm. For example, a detector with a SMOKE(PHOTO) Type
ID code means that the detector is a photoelectric type detector. If the Type ID code is unfamiliar,
refer to "Software Type ID Codes" on page 63. This appendix is an alphabetical list of Type ID
codes and an explanation of each.

•Sends a Security message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains the
indications of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while activating
the Security relay if it is selected for security, flashing the
message to the history buffer, installed printer and annunciators. If there are silenced alarms (the
SIGNALSSILENCED LED is lighted), a Security alarm will resound the panel sounder.

2.6.3 How to Interpret Type Codes
The Type Code that displays in the Supervisory message indicates the function of the point that
initiates the Supervisory. For example, a monitor module with a WATERFLOW S Type Code
means that the module monitors the state of a waterflow switch. If the Type ID code is unfamiliar,
refer to "Software Type ID Codes" on page 63. This appendix is an alphabetical list of Type ID
codes and an explanation of each.
Operation of the Control PanelDisabled Points Event
2.7 Disabled Points Event
The control panel indicates disabled points by displaying a screen for each disabled detector,
monitor module, control/relay module, and Panel Circuit module. Disabled points do not cause an
alarm or any Control-by-event activity. If more than one point is disabled, the control panel
automatically displays each point in the sequence in which the point was disabled.
CAUTION:When a zone is disabled, any input and output devices mapped to the zone are
disabled if the zone is the point’s primary zone. (The primary zone is the zone in the first
!
position of the zone map.)

There are user-programmable time delays for four specific functions: Alarm Verification, AC Fail,
Silence Inhibit, and Auto Silence. Refer to this panel’s programming manual for instructions on
viewing or modifying these values. (They may be viewed only in programming mode.)
Alarm Verification Timer (
A timer that directs the control panel to ignore a fire alarm for a smoke detector, programmed for
Alarm Verification, while the Alarm Verification Timer is counting. The timer value can be set
from 0-60 seconds, and may not exceed 30 seconds for ULC installations. Table 2.3 contains a
summary of how the Alarm Verification Timer works.

AC Fail Delay Timer
This timer delays the time from the start of AC failure to when the trouble is reported. The timer
value may be set to 0, or from 6-12 hours. The onboard trouble relay and municipal box output will
activate when the countdown is complete. Note that this panel notifies the central station
communicator as soon as AC failure occurs, and the central station communicator follows its own
programmed schedule for reporting the failure.

2.9.2 Presignal
Presignal is a feature that initially delays activation of outputs with ZF0 in their zone map until the
Presignal timer has expired. This feature allows for the initial sounding of outputs only in specific
areas, monitored by qualified personnel. To participate in Presignal, inputs and outputs must
include Special Zone ZF0 in their zone map. The Presignal timer is programmed to a value from 60
to 180 seconds.

How the Panel Indicates a Presignal Alarm
When an initiating device participating in Presignal goes into alarm, the panel LCD displays a fire
alarm message. ( Refer to “Fire Alarm Event” on page 23.) If a second alarm occurs while the
Presignal timer is counting down, the control panel aborts the Presignal timer countdown and
activates all programmed outputs. The fire alarm LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses a steady
tone. The control panel latches until the alarm is corrected and the
SYSTEM RESET key is pressed to
reset the panel.
How to Respond to a Presignal Alarm
Once the Presignal timer has begun counting down, the operator has the duration of the countdown
time to respond to the alarm before the control panel automatically activates all outputs with ZF0 in
their zone map and CBE linkage to the alarm. The operator can reset the panel if the alarm is
determined false, or press DRILL to evacuate the building immediately.
2.9.3 PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence)
PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence), used in conjun c tion with Presignal, 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 programmed outputs activate. If the alarm is acknowledged
within 15 seconds, the control panel will enter Presignal mode as described above.
The PAS Inhibit switch can be used to turn off the PAS delay timer when the control panel is
unattended.

Appendix Table A-1 Software Type ID Codes, Alphabetical List (2 of 3)
The control panel provides ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09). These are special zones that can be
used for up to ten independent releasing operations. This section contains descriptions of each
releasing function option and an example of how Releasing Zone options work.
For instructions on programming Releasing Functions, refer to this panel’s programming manual.
Each Releasing Zone includes the following releasing options:
OptionDescription
Cross Zone Cross Zones let you program the control pane l to acti vate a Releasing Zone when
two or more detectors are alarmed. Cross Zone selections are:
Yes
Zone
Heat
None
Delay Timer A 0–60 second programmable delay before activating a zone.
Abort SwitchAn Abort Switch Type Code used to abort activation of a zone.
Manual ReleaseAllows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort function, cross-zone
function, and delay timer.
Soak Timer Automatically shuts off the releasing device after a preprogrammed period of
time. Select 0001-9999 seconds for Soak Time or 0000 seconds for no Soak
Time.
Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to one of the ten
Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09).
Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to two different
Software Zones and mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones (R0-R9).
At least one smoke detector mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones
(ZR00-ZR09) is alarmed and at least one heat detector mapped to the
same Releasing Zone as the smoke detector is alarmed.
Cross Zones are not used.
Appendix Table B-1 Releasing Options
The Read Status function allows the operator to view the current selections for a Releasing Zone.
Refer to “Releasing Zone” on page 48 for more information.
How Releasing Zones Operate
The figure below contains an illustrated example of how Releasing Zones work, using cross zone
selections with four detectors and an NAC mapped to Releasing Zone 1 (listed as ZR01 in the zone
map). Appendix Table B-2 lists the cross zone selections and the conditions that activate the
Releasing Zone:
Cross=NONEAn alarm from any detector activates the releasing circuit.
Cross=YESAn alarm from any two detectors activates the releasing circuit.
Cross=ZONEAn alarm from two detectors mapped to differen t Software Zones,
Cross=HEATActivation of heat detector L02D104 and one smoke detector
Condition(s) Required to Activate the Releasing zone
but mapped to the same Releasing Zone.
•An alarm from L02D101 and L02D103 – detectors mapped to
different zones, but both list ZR01 in their zone map.
•An alarm from L02D102 and L02D104 – detectors mapped to
different zones, but both list ZR01 in their zone map.
•An alarm from L02D101 and L02D104 – detectors mapped to
