The panel can be programmed to automatically silence the
notification circuits after a given amount of time has passed.
The picture indicates the times that can be selected. The default
is disabled which require either a manual signal or a system
reset to silence the notification appliances.
In addition, the panel can be programmed to prevent the
silencing of the notification appliances until a set time has
passed. The Canadian Standards require a minimum amount of
time in the signal silence inhibit.
When the job is created, if the standard, ULI for the US Underwriters Laboratories or ULC for the Canadian Underwriters
Laboratories, was selected it will automatically appear in the Agency screen. If the standard is incorrect during the initial job
creation, it can be changed in the Base Panel modification.
The notification circuits on the PFC-9000 can be programmed
as either Signal or Strobe. When programmed as Strobe the
NAC circuit will provide continuous steady power for proper
operation of the strobes.
If Signal is selected, there are six different operating modes
from which to choose. The default Signal mode is continuous.
If both strobes and horns are to be connected to the same
NAC circuit, in order for the strobes to operate properly, the
NAC circuit must be programmed as either Strobe, or signal
continuous. If it is necessary for the horns to operate in a manor
other than continuous, multitone horns must be used.
