Pre-Signal When an alarm causing device in a Pre-Signal input group is initiated, the alarm condition is reported at the panel. Its associated NACs are not activated until the programmed investigation delay has relapsed or 2nd Alarm is initiated anytime during the Pre-Signal delay time (see figure below).
APPENDIX-J: DACT INFORMATION OVERVIEW The DACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter) is an optional module for the FC901 control panel that allows transmission of event information to a remote receiver at a monitoring station using a dial-up modem connection. These events are transmitted in one of the following formats: ◼ SIADCS 8 ◼ SIADCS 20 ◼ ADEMCO Contact ID A few aspects of the operation of the DACT are clarified below.
To configure an event to be reported to Account 1 and Account 2, set it to Must report on both. If the event needs to be reported to either Account 1 or Account 2, set it to Can report on both. If it has to be reported to Account 1, but only needs to be reported on Account 2 if Account 1 is temporarily out-of-order, set the event to Must Report on Account 1 and Can Report on Account 2. Following are examples for illustration purposes.
Scenario 2 – Must/Can Alarm Event is set to Must Report on Account 1 and Can Report on Account 2. Panel fails on Account 1 the first time. Step 1: Panel goes into alarm. Step 2: Panel tries to send event to Account 1, but is unsuccessful. N Account 1 Account 2 Step 3: Panel keeps trying to send event to Account 1 until the programmed Number Of Attempts has been reached. Step 4: Panel switches to Account 2 and attempts to transmit, but is unsuccessful too.
Scenario 3 – Must/Can Alarm Event is set to Must Report on Account 1 and Can Report on Account 2. Panel succeeds on Account 1 the first time. Step 1: Panel goes into alarm. Y Account 1 Step 2: Panel tries to send event to Account 1 successful. Account 2 Step 3: Panel does NOT attempt to send event to Account 2, since Account 2 is set for Can Report and the event was transmitted to Account 1 successfully. Done.
Scenario 4 – Can/Can Alarm Event is set to Can Report on Account 1 and Account 2. Panel succeeds on Account 2 before Account 1. Step 1: Panel goes into alarm. Step 2: Panel tries to send event to Account 1, but is unsuccessful. N Account 1 Account 2 Step 3: Panel keeps trying to send event to Account 1 until the programmed Number Of Attempts has been reached. Step 4: Panel switches to Account 2 and successfully transmits the event. Account 1 Y Account 2 Done.

The LBT and TEST shall be connected to FACP’s trouble inputs. The outputs are active low (switched to ground) and shall be connected via listed supervision relay (suggested model: DSC, RM-2 or RM1C).
APPENDIX-K: DRIFT COMPENSATION The H-Series optical detector cannot implement drift compensation on its own. Drift compensation is the panel’s responsibility. While the system is running, the detector sends its chamber real-time values to the panel periodically and does not do compensation by itself. For the first hour after a panel startup, the panel will check the detector chamber values every 10 minutes. After that, the panel will check the chamber reading every 24 hours.
APPENDIX-L: RELEASING OPERATION Configure: • Set up a countdown time for the releasing operation to start when the releasing control condition is satisfied. • Set up the activation time for the NAC/Output channel: ReleaseSync: operate simultaneously with the releasing channel. Immediately: operate once the releasing control condition is satisfied. • When the releasing control condition is satisfied, the countdown time starts.
Releasing indication configuration in Canada For Canadian applications, LEDs on FT2018 or FT2019 annunciator shall be configured to indicate pre-discharge, discharge, abort in alarm condition and “invalid abort” trouble in normal standby condition. Following is an example of configuration: Preconditions: • Releasing control configuration • LED control configuration Area configuration Under the property for Area, there is a setting named “Function”.
Release Trouble Indication 1 2 Release circuit trouble Yellow steady Releasing circuit trouble Off Releasing circuit is normal Invalid abort trouble Yellow steady Abort switch activation normal standby condition No invalid abort switch activation Off 89
APPENDIX-M: GLOSSARY AC Power Fail. Refers to a condition in which AC power loss is detected by the system. Alarm Signal. A signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate action, such as an alarm for fire from a manual station, a waterflow alarm, or an automatic smoke detector. Signal Silence Inhibit. An option that prevents an operator from silencing the notification appliances for a preset period of time. Alarm System.
fan restart usage has higher priority than the OFF time delay and will therefore immediately deactivate the hold-thru reset outputs. DeactPersistDevs (Deactivate Persistent Devices). Used to deactivate the outputs when the outputs are deactivated by control logic and the “Hold-Thru Reset” is configured as “True”. Initiating Device. A manually or automatically operated device such as a manual pull station, smoke detector, heat detector, waterflow switch or tamper switch. Initiating Device Circuit (IDC).
Trouble Signal. An audible signal indicating trouble of any nature, such as a circuit break or ground, occurring in the device or wiring associated with a fire alarm signal. Waterflow Switch. An assembly approved for service and so constructed and installed that any flow of water from a sprinkler system equal to or greater than that from a single automatic sprinkler head will result in activation of this switch and subsequent indication of an alarm condition. Zone. A designated area of a building.
APPENDIX-N: PAD-4 WIRING INSTRUCTION Placeholder for PAD-4 to FC360 wiring instruction so the PAD-4 is able to report troubles back to the FC360.
APPENDIX-O: ISOLATOR SUPPORT Isolator support feature allows a device with an isolator to report alarms as well when a short circuit or open circuit happens on the device. The wiring of the device with an isolator and the setting of its corresponding “Isolator Support” checkbox on FXS901 tool should be consistent, otherwise, the system reports trouble. For example, when a device with an isolator is wired as an isolator module, then the “Isolator Support” checkbox should be ticked as True.
