Slow Response mode When detectors are set to a low sensitivity level. Typically, “normal” mode for a section or zone is changed
to this mode when, for example, a large amount of dust or smoke is expected in a section or zone.
See also – Non-Slow Response mode.
Subsystem A control unit configured in the Composer environment.
Summary bar The summary bar is located at the top of the MM8000 screen. It is always visible and displays the event
counters, menu and horn mute button. The summary bar is your access point to the system. It provides
access to events, the Plant and History Browsers, and it contains the menu where you log in, log out, and
switchover.
Supervisory (MM8000 – ULC only) An event category in ULC mode for troubles/exclusions of sprinklers and extinguish-
ing systems. This event category is represented in the Event list by the acronym SUP.
(MT8001 – ULC only) An event category (replacing Alarm). This refers to the “object trouble” state at zone
level.
Technical Text Describes an object in the Plant Browser hierarchical tree for technical people (such as engineers) to assist
in identifying that object in the internal physical or logical structure. For example, technical text for a fire zone
may be “3/2/13”.

Time program A pre-defined function or set of functions the system performs based on the system clock and calendar.
Time programs can be triggered by a change of Organisation Mode, or when a specific time and/or date
occurs. In some cases, the execution time can be modified.
See also Organisation Mode; Scheduler; Sequence.
Total Building Solutions
(TBS)
Total Building Solutions (TBS) is a combined market offering of the Divisions BAU, FS and SES with the
scope to describe the Siemens approach to the integrated building management systems.
Trouble (MM8000 – ULC only) An event category in ULC mode for faults associated with fire alarm systems, life and
property safety. This event category is represented in the Event list by the acronym TBL.
Turn-Off To exclude a section or subsection (group of detectors).
ULC Underwriters Laboratories of Canada. Some countries have specific requirements for how the user interface
of a fire protection system appears and functions. In Canada, this set of requirements is called ULC. If you
are using MM8000 and/or the MT8001 in Canada, the behaviour of the unit will differ from the standard
behaviour. If the appearance or behaviour of MM8000 / MT8001 varies from the standard because of ULC
requirements, this information is documented in an Appendix (MM8000), or a box with the letters ULC in the
left-hand margin of user documentation will indicate it (MT8001).
Unset Mode The normal daytime settings of the detectors in the plant.
See also – Set Mode.
Video view A live or pre-recorded video display of a selected area. Video view can be an important assisted event
treatment step that allows you to immediately inspect an alarmed area to view conditions. If recorded, a file
is stored in the History Browser for future reviewing. You can also select a camera node in the Plant
Browser tree or map to inspect different areas of a facility.
WAN Wide Area Network.
Windows An option in the menu. The windows option contains a menu that provides standard Windows cascade and
tile options for any open browsers and applications.
Zone A group of detectors (or elements). The term ‘zone’ is used with the following control units: FS20, CC11,
CC1115, FC330A, FC700A, SIGMASYS, CZ10, CS6, CS440, CS4, and CC60.
There are other control units that use different terms for the same concept. The ST11, STT20, and STT2410
units use the term ‘function’, while the CZ12 uses the term ‘address’.
