FIREFINDER NZ CONFIGURATION MANAGER
Mode 2:
General Purpose: If the I/O device is configured as ‘General Purpose’ then each input of that device
has its own unique sub address on the physical device. The common outputs on the loop main
configuration window become non-functional and all values are taken from the sub address window
for the I/O device. This window is opened by clicking on the plus [+] symbol in the more column and
allows the configuration of the inputs to be set e.g.: Inactive, General (set a Function), Latching, Non
latching, Fault and labelling of the outputs. When set to General Purpose any activated input is not
displayed on the LCD.

The ADDRESS will be the sequential number assigned to the device / sensor when the description is
entered in the Module screen.
The SUB-ADDRESS is the INPUT designator (1 to 3) that is assigned to the description entered for
a particular INPUT.
The address and sub-address of an I/O device is determined by where the device is entered into the
table in the Panel Node X Controller (address) and the Sensor Input/Output device (sub-address)
screens
The drop down screen under the heading of Zone Configuration (Zone Config) in the Sensor
Input/Output device screen (double click on the + icon in the Panel Node X Controller screen)
consists of;
Inactive: Set the input such that it will not respond to an input, accidentally or otherwise.
General: Selected when a “Function” is to be set for an input, output.
Latching Alarm: If an alarm is initiated the alarm condition input will be considered to be on by the
FACP, displayed on the LCD and requires manual “Acknowledgement” and “Reset” to restore the
FACP to its normal state.
Non-latching: If an alarm is initiated the alarm condition input will be considered to be on until the
alarm input is removed, the input will then be seen to be in its normal state and the FACP will
automatically “Acknowledge” the alarm.
Fault: If a fault condition is seen at the input to the I/O it will initiate the fault sequence as set in the
configuration.
