4.1.3Reverse polarity circuits configuration

This panel is equipped with two polarity reversal-type outputs. This permits alarm and trouble signals to be transmitted to one location and supervisory and trouble signals to be transmitted to a second location.

If trouble signals are to be transmitted to the alarm location or if only the remote alarm circuit is used, place the TRBL-REM ALM switch in the “off” position (left side of the switch). When configured in this manner, supervisory alarms are sent as trouble signals on the remote alarm circuit.

When the remote alarm output is programmed to transmit a trouble condition, the control panel is not suitable for remote station protected premises service where separate transmission circuits are required for fire, supervisory, and trouble signals. This should not be done unless approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction

4.1.4Annunciator disconnect

2	Place the ANNUNC DISC switch in the “on” position (right side of the switch) when you wish to ignore
	commands sent from the remote annunciator or when an annunciator is not connected.
3	4.1.5	Waterflow detectors
	Place the WATERFLOW switch in the “on” position (right side of the switch) for all zones that are to be
	used with waterflow detectors. The SILENCE and ZONE DISABLE keypads can not be used for zones
4	configured for waterflow. Instead, the panel must be reset to silence the alarm notification device.
	4.1.6	Alarm verification
	Place the VERIFY switch in the “on” position (right side of the switch) to place a zone in the alarm
	verification mode.
	This mode should only be used with smoke detectors that do not include an alarm verification feature.
	When a smoke detector operates on a zone that has been selected for alarm verification, the panel will
	not immediately go into an alarm condition.
	Power will be removed for a period of 6 to 8 seconds, which will reset the detector. Power is then
	reapplied, but alarms are inhibited for the next 3 to 6 seconds.
	If any detector operates within the following confirmation period of approximately 120 seconds, an alarm
	condition will result.
	4.1.7	Style D (Class A) operation
	Any initiating device zone (except the supervisory zone) can be operated in a Style D (Class A) mode.
	To place a zone in the Style D (Class A) mode, place the CLASS A switch in the “on” position (right side
	of the switch). Zones that are selected to be Style D (Class A) require a four wire, double loop,
	configuration. This permits detection of an alarm condition from any detector on the zone when a single
	open fault is present.
	4.2	Program configuration of the panel
	The optional LCD is used to display system status during operation, show a description of each zone,
	and allows configuration of the optional ZDACT. The prompts and possible key presses for configuring

the control panel are shown below to help with configuration. Words in BOLD ALL CAPS print appear in the LCD.

An LCD display is required for programming the panel. If you do not have an LCD output, see Appendix C for ordering optional LCD (Model OPLCD) or remote annunciator (Model RALCD).
