Summary Fire Relay Sustain Eprom Revision 6.80 or higher for the D7000/9000 & D7412G, D9112G, D9412G panels and Eprom Revision 7.03 or lower for the GV2 Series panels. (See *Note below for GV2 panel 7.05 and higher) When the Silent Alarm Relay for Area 2 is programmed with 24, the Summary Fire Alarm Relay remains active until all Fire Alarms are cleared from the keypad display. The default operation is consistent with the Summary Fire Relay operation in Version 6.60 and older. This feature provides a method of maintaining fire strobes after the alarm bells are silenced. Audible silence is done by using two outputs from the panel, one output that silences with a Valid Code and ENT, will silence the horns; the second output remains On or Active to run the strobes until all Fire Alarms are cleared from the keypad display with a Valid Code and ESC. The wiring is as follows: 1.) Wire Relay A Terminal 6 of the panel to the Trigger of the First D192C/G - (Program Relay A as Fire Bell) Wire the Alarm Output of this D192C/G to the Horn Input of a NAC Power Supply or Sycn Module and wire the 560 Ohm EOL across the horn input of a NAC Power Supply or Sycn Module. 2.) Wire Relay B Terminal 7 of the panel to the Trigger of the Second D192C/G - (Program Relay B as Fire Summary) Wire the Alarm Output of this D192C/G to the Strobe Input of a NAC Power Supply or Sycn Module and wire the 560 Ohm EOL across the last device or across the strobe input of the NAC Power Supply. *NOTE - GV2 Series panels Eprom Revision 7.05 and higher Fire Summary Sustain is Enable in GV2AUX - Miscellaneous - Fire Summary Sustain. All GV3, and GV4 panels have this same option. ... View more

Question: Can an input device on one loop card trip an output device on a different loop card or network analog panel? Answer: Yes, it is possible to map an input device of one loop card  to trip an output device on the same or different loop card on the same networked analog system. Instructions on how to program the outputs below. Zone mapping The control panel supports a flexible system to map input points to outputs. The system defaults so that all NAC outputs are activated by a fire alarm. By programming output zones, you can create almost any output activation scheme, such as "floor above and floor below" activation or conditional elevator recall. Input points: Smoke detectors, pull stations, and so on Zone: A group of input points (zones 1 to 225 are configurable, 226 to 234 are activated automatically) Outputs: Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) such as bells, strobes, and relays Zone mapping on a networked system: – For each panel on the network there are 128 local zones (pp-001 to pp-128, where pp = the panel ID). Local zones are used to assign inputs and outputs specific to a device at that zone address and to that panel. – Each network also has 97 grouped zones (129 to 225). Grouped zone addresses allow inputs and outputs to be assigned to multiple panels within a network so that the inputs and outputs of each panel in the grouped zone can be connected to any of the panels in the network. – Each network also has 9 global zones (226 to 234). Global zones have preset inputs based on device types, but their outputs can be defined and apply to the entire network. – For local zones and group zones, up to 5 zones per input and 5 zones per output can be mapped. More specifically, an input can be mapped to local zones on any panel within the network or to group zones. The outputs from a local zone (1-128) can be mapped only to the panel that zone is connected to, but the output from group zones (129-225) can be mapped to any panel within the network. Mapping principles: – Inputs activate zones, and zones activate outputs. – Input points can be assigned to up to five local or group zones. Therefore, each input can activate up to five zones; however, any number of inputs can be mapped to the same zone. – Up to five local, group, and/or global zones can be assigned to each output (except the FAA‑325‑B6S Analog Sounder Base which can be assigned to only one zone). – Zones 1 to 225 are available for the installer to program. – Zones 226 to 234 are global zones and are hard-coded to pre-assigned conditions. They are automatically activated by inputs if a special condition occurs or the panel is in a processing sequence (See the following two figures). It is not possible to assign an input point to any global zone. – An output can be assigned to a global zone so that it will be activated upon the corresponding special condition. For example, any input that is configured as a "Fire Auto" type activates Zone 226 when it is alarmed. Any output driven by Zone 226 activates when any “Fire Auto” type point is alarmed. For how inputs control zones and zones control outputs in a network, see the following figure. Network input-output mapping   For how inputs control zones and zones control outputs in a stand-alone panel, see the following figure. Stand-alone panel zone mapping   For a list of all global zones on the panel (each has a unique number), see the following table. Global Zone Number Condition Activating Zone Pre-assigned zones 226 Global fire alarm 227 Global trouble 228 Global supervisory 229 Alarm verification (verification period) 230 Pre-signal (waiting for reset) 231 Positive Alarm Sequence (waiting for ACK or reset) 232 Panel is resetting 233 Global gas alarm 234 Global waterflow In some cases if a relay output is assigned to a certain global zone, other assigned zones are ignored: – Mainboard relay 1: If assigned to the global alarm zone, other assigned zones are ignored. The relay reacts only to the global alarm zone. – Mainboard relay 2: If assigned to the global trouble zone, other assigned zones are ignored. The relay reacts only to the global trouble zone. – Mainboard relay 3: If assigned to the global supervisory zone, other assigned zones are ignored. The relay reacts only to the global supervisory zone. Outputs is active if any zone to which the output is assigned is activated. An output which is assigned to multiple zones can be considered as inactive only when all associated zones are inactive. NAC pattern assignment Every zone is assigned to one NAC pattern. When the zone NAC pattern is set to default, the device NAC pattern is used. In case of a device activation by address, the device NAC pattern is used. When a device is activated by a zone activation command, the NAC activates with the assigned zone pattern (Steady, Pulsing, or Temporal Code 3, for global gas alarm also Temporal Code 4). See the following table. NAC pattern assignment   Counting zones All local or group zones have the “Counting Zones” option. If this option is enabled, a local or group zone becomes a counting zone. Otherwise, it is a non-counting zone which is activated as soon as an input point assigned to this zone is activated. If multiple points (can be from different panels if networked) are assigned to a single zone, only when all the points are inactive is the zone considered as inactive; thus, associated outputs can be deactivated. A counting zone is considered active only when two or more input points assigned to that zone are active. It is not allowed to assign an input point programmed with any delayed point features (including PAS, Pre-signal, alarm verification, and PAS@day or alarmverification@night) to a counting zone.   ...

Question - How did all my single point modules change their Action from Fault Warming to Fire on their own? Answer - An Auto Learn function was done with the devices not connected to the bus. When re-connecting the points to the bus, the panel views these devices as new devices to be added. To reactivate the devices on the bus, an Auto Learn function needs to be done. This sets the point Action to defualt (FIRE) because the panel is adding them as a new device. ... View more

Issue - If the Analog panel has multiple loop cards and each device on each loop card can be address from 1 to 126, how does the D9068 report this points to Central Station? The D9068 DACT reports the point addresses as follows: Loop 1 Addresses 1 -126 report as Points 1 to 126 . Loop 2 Addresses 1 -126 report as Points 201 to 326 Loop 3 Addresses 1 -126 reports as Points 401 to 526 Loop 4 Addresses 1 -126 report as Points 601 to 726 Loop 5 Addresses 1 -126 report as Points 801 to 926 ...

The sound base address range is Addresses 128 to 254. The Address of the base is 127 plus the address of the head installed in the base.   Example: A Smoke Head Adresssed as 100 - plus 127 - will make the Sounder Base Address 227.  (100 + 127 = 227)     SCL 1 Address 1 thru 127 Smokes head making the bases Address 128 - 254 SCL 2 Address 1 thru 127 Smokes head making the bases Address 128 - 254   ...
