Operating Instructions
Smoke Detector Data
Smoke detector data is monitored by the FACP, eliminating the need to test the sensitivity of each detector at its location. A printout of
each detector's data can be retrieved from the FACP using an optional printer or Windows
decrease with age and should be monitored as part of a system's routine maintenance.
4.17 Time Functions: Real-Time Clock
The ES-200X includes a crystal-based clock that provides time of day, date and day of week. Time is displayed as 12 or 24 hour time
with month/day/year and is stored in RAM. Daylight savings time change-over is programmable and automatic. If both AC and battery
are lost, the time must be reset.
4.18 Synchronized NAC Operation
Synchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliances in such a way that all devices will turn on and off
at exactly the same time. This is particularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid random activation and
a potential hazard or confusion. The FACP can be programmed to operate with a variety of manufacturer's devices. NAC synchroniza-
tion can only be supported properly by the Remote Power Supply Sync Terminal, which follows NAC 1 programming.
Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visual devices is programmed for silenceable and the syn-
chronization feature is selected, only the audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual devices (strobes, etc.)
will continue to operate.
4.19 Coded Operation
The NAC circuits resident on the control panel main circuit board can be programmed for coded operation. The available pulse rates
which can be programmed for coded operation are as follows:
•
Continuous:
•
March Time:
•
Temporal 3 Code:
•
Temporal 4 Code:
•
California Code:
•
Two-Stage
4.20 Presignal
Presignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs and/or control modules while allowing visual verification
by a person. Once a detector or monitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACs are not activated
for a user programmed time duration of up to three minutes. Note that the alarm relay and communicator will respond to the initial alarm
immediately. In addition, Zone 098 will activate. This zone can be programmed to a control module which may be used to activate a
sounder or indicator which the installer designates as a Presignal indication. Do not assign Zone 098 to a Notification Appliance Circuit
when using this zone to indicate a Pre-signal condition.
After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs during
the programmed time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate output zones. The events
which occur upon Presignal activation are as follows:
onboard piezo sounds immediately
control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point
control points programmed to Zone 098 will activate
annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED and zone LED
outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited from activating for a user programmed time delay of
up to three minutes
second alarm occurring anytime during the time delay will cause immediate activation of all associated outputs
Presignal does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, process monitoring or remote switches. Presignal
operation requires the approval of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
4.21 Positive Alarm Sequence
PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence) option will program a smoke detector to delay panel activation (including alarm relay and communica-
tor) for a period of 15 seconds. Zone 097, however, will activate immediately and may be used to connect a signaling device to indicate
PAS activation. Do not assign Zone 097 to a Notification Appliance Circuit when using this zone to indicate a PAS condition.
When a detector triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACs are prevented from activating for 15 seconds.
This inhibit time is factory set and cannot be changed. Pressing the Alarm Silence or Acknowledge/Step key during the 15 second inhibit
time will silence the piezo sounder and start a timer which prevents activation of NACs for an additional time duration which can be user
programmed for up to three minutes. After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is not cleared. Note
that if a second alarm occurs during either time delay, the alarm will be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate out-
put zones. The events which occur upon PAS activation are as follows:
onboard piezo sounds immediately
