Configuring notification appliance circuits
To configure the notification appliance circuits (NACs), assign values to the NAC
program options as indicated in Table 13. Record your settings on the initiating
device circuit programming worksheet in Appendix B.
Follow this general sequence of steps:
1. Select the NAC type option. NAC 1 is automatically selected.
2. Enter the NAC type value for each NAC. To select a different NAC, press the
NAC’s disable button. The panel indicates which NAC you are programming
by turning on the NAC’s trouble LED.
3. Select the next option and enter a value for each NAC before proceeding to
the next option.
NAC program options are described below.
NAC type: Determines the type of signal that the NAC outputs and other
operating characteristics. The values that you can select are:
• Continuous: Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt continuous (steady) signal.
Select this NAC type when the NAC is connected to compatible audible and
visible notification appliances, other than Genesis.
• Temporal (3-3-3): Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt temporal signal. Select
this NAC type when the NAC is connected to compatible audible notification
appliances, other than Genesis, that are designed or configured to output a
steady tone.
• GENESIS: Outputs a synchronized 24-volt continuous (steady) signal, and a
horn-only signal silence command. Select this NAC type when the NAC is
connected to Genesis audible and visible notification appliances and Signal
Silence is for horns only.
• GENESIS (AV Sil): Outputs a synchronized 24-volt continuous (steady)
signal. Select this NAC type when the NAC is connected to Genesis audible
and visible notification appliances and Signal Silence is for both horns and
strobes.
• Coder: Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt coded signal that is four rounds of
an IDC’s zone code. Select this NAC type when the NAC is connected to
compatible audible notification appliances designed or configured to output a
steady tone.
• City Tie: Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt continuous (steady) signal that
can’t be silenced or disabled. Select this NAC type when the NAC is
connected to a city tie module.
