Fire-Lite MS-9600LSC Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel - Manual (Page 156)

156 MS-9600LS Series Manual — P/N 52646:B2 2/12/2010
Operating Instructions Medical Alert Condition Operation
4.9 Medical Alert Condition Operation
Medical Alert Condition operation will initiate the following events:
• The piezo sounder turns on steady
• The LCD displays a medical alert message along with the device name, type, address,
adjective/noun, associated zones and time/date
• Relays programmed for medical alert will be activated
• The alarm relay is not activated
• Silenced alarms are not resounded
• Timers are not started
• Store event in history buffer
• Medical Alert condition must be Acknowledged before the FACP can be reset
Medical alert conditions latch and will therefore clear only when the medical alert condition is
cleared and the panel reset. They can be assigned to software zones.
4.10 Programmed Zone Operation
Each addressable detector and monitor module can be assigned to a maximum of five software
alarm zones. A general alarm zone Z00 may be listed for output (control) points, but it is not nec-
essary to list Z00 for input points, since this is the default zone for all alarm input devices. Zone
Z00 is also activated by supervisory points.
When an input device alarms and is not disabled, it activates all software zones assigned to it. An
output device that is not disabled is turned on when any of the software zones to which it is pro-
grammed become active.
4.11 Disable/Enable Operation
Input points which are disabled do not cause an alarm or any zone activation. Disabled output
points are held in the off state. All disabled points are treated as if they were in trouble, with the
exception being the status label that will be displayed is DISABL.
4.12 Waterflow Circuits Operation
If an alarm exists from a monitor module point that has a waterflow type code and its mapped NAC
control module outputs are programmed for nonsilenceable operation, the Alarm Silence key will
not function.
4.13 Detector Functions
Maintenance Alert
Each addressable detector is monitored by the control panel for its maintenance status. If a detector
is near but below the allowed alarm limit, a ‘maintenance alert’ message will automatically be dis-
played, signaling that the detector is in need of servicing.
Automatic Test Operation
An automatic test of an addressable detector is performed each minute, resulting in a complete SLC
loop test in approximately 5 hours (if the loop has the maximum number of devices installed). The
detector’s sensing chamber and electronics are functionally tested for normal, safe operation. A
trouble message is displayed upon failure of this test. A System Reset will clear this trouble.
