3.2.7 How to Avoid Programming Errors. Notifier AFP-200

Getting Started

Programming

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).
