1.4 Introduction to the Control Panel

The NFS2-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications. The CPU2-3030 comes with a front display/keypad option, which allows program-
ming and viewing options at the panel.
There are two basic configuration options for the NFS2-3030. It can be ordered with:
• a front display/keypad, which allows programming and viewing options at the panel, or
• no display keypad.
This manual gives instructions using the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
When there is no keypad/display at the NFS2-3030, the panel is controlled by remote annunciators.
VeriFire® programming is required. The displayless panel has four buttons on its circuit board that
are service-level switches for local operation should it become necessary. They are the only but-
tons, and are clearly marked with ACK for Acknowledge, SIGSIL for Signal Silence, SYSRST for
System Reset, and LAMP TEST. These buttons are mainly for installer use: the operator should uti-
lize a remote annunciator for these functions, if possible. The status indicator LEDs on the circuit
board are the same as on the display/keypad (refer to Section 1.5.1, “The Display/Keypad”, on page
11 of this manual).
Refer to VeriFire® Tools or the NCA-2 Manual for information on programming without the NFS2-
3030 display/keypad.

The Keypad
The keypad has several types of keys, described below.

General Information Operating Features
The keypad consists of several types of keys: alphanumerics, special function keys, soft keys, and
fixed function keys.
NOTE: Key functions are as described below unless the Local Control option is disabled, or the
Display and Control Center (DCC) option is enabled and the DCC is at another location. When the
Local Control option is disabled, the panel does not have local control of the Signal Silence,
System Reset, and Drill Fixed Function keys, or the SIGNAL SILENCE, SYSTEM RESET, and
ACKNOWLEDGE soft keys. These functions must be performed by a remote device preprogrammed
for this purpose. When this panel is not the DCC on a network, permission must be granted from
the DCC before Signal Silence, System Reset, Acknowledge or Drill can be performed at this
panel. Pressing one of these keys will automatically send a permission request to the DCC.
 Keypad
The alphanumeric portion of the keypad is in standard QWERTY format. This keypad is functional
mainly when an entry is requested by the system. Otherwise, pressing these keys results in no entry.

1.6.2 Event Reporting Format

The message formats used for event reporting appear at the top of the display, replacing the System
Normal message. There are two basic types of message formats: point event formats, which are
generated from changes in the state of SLC and panel devices, and system event formats, which are
generated from system errors and troubles.
Point Events Format
When a change of state occurs to an SLC or panel point device, a message is generated to the panel
that displays on the top of the LCD screen, and soft keys display available functions that may be
used to handle the event. The top four lines contain the event and point information. Event counts
display in the next three lines, the current time and soft key information appears after the event
counts.

alarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example above shows the
detector exceeding the alarm level by 21%.
Note: For Beam detectors in CLIP mode, the alarm value will always equal zero (0)% when it
is not in alarm or 100% when it is in alarm.
1 4 5 % O F P R E A L A R M - This field gives the detector reading as it relates to its
preprogrammed prealarm level value (indicated in the next line on the screen). The example
above shows the detector exceeding the prealarm level by 45%.
Line 12
The screen displays the Alarm and Prealarm levels that are in effect when more information is
requested. For example, if unoccupied settings are in effect, they will display.
A L A R M : 6 = 1 . 6 6 % - Six is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector: its
value is 1.66%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 6.
P R E A L A R M : 3 = 0 . 4 7 % - Three is the preprogrammed alarm level value for this detector:
its value is 0.47%, indicating the percent per foot obscuration value assigned to level 3.
Line 13
A C T I O N / S T A T U S : N O N E / V E R Y C L E A N - This displays the maintenance status of
the device. The message that appears in this field depends on the drift compensation value. A
detector will automatically compensate for environmental contaminants and other factors over
time, until the tolerance value has been exceeded. The FACP will signal a trouble condition
when this level has been reached. Refer to the following table for messages and required
action.
Message Drift Compensation % Description
None/Very Clean Less than 50 No action necessary. The detector readings are near
ideal.
None/Fairly Clean 50 - 69 No action necessary. The detector will activate at the

selected sensitivity level.
Needs Cleaning 70 - 79 Clean the detector soon. The detector may cause a
false alarm because it has reached the drift
compensation tolerance value.
Needs Immediate Cleaning 80 - 100 Clean immediately! The detector is a false alarm risk.
The drift compensation tolerance value has been
exceeded.
For FSC-851 IntelliQuad detectors in CLIP mode, the status will display as None/Very Clean
until it displays Needs Immediate Cleaning. No intermediate levels are displayed.

Line 14
P E A K S : 5 6 % - This value represents the highest percent per foot obscuration reading taken
by this detector. It can be a historical figure, and does not necessarily represent the highest
reading for this particular alarm. Re-initializing the detector would reset this value to zero.
V E R I F Y C O U N T : 0 2 - This displays the number of times the detector has gone into
alarm. This count aids in differentiating false alarms from actual alarms by showing repeated
alarm events that have come into the device. In this example, the detector has gone into alarm
two times since the verification count was begun. The FACP will signal a trouble condition
when the verify count is exceeded. Displays as C O U N T for FSC-851 IntelliQuad and
aspiration detectors.
C O - O P : D 1 0 0 , 1 5 8 - Indicates the address(es) of any detector(s) linked with the detector
that’s in alarm for Co-operative Multi-alarm Sensing. This field does not display for

Section 2: Operation of the Control Panel
2.1 Overview
The control panel periodically checks for events. An event can be any change in the status of a
device, a transfer of information between a device and the FACP, or a transfer of information
between two devices. Some events are considered background events and are not seen by the user.
The events that are of primary concern to the operator are those identified as off-normal events. An
off-normal event is an event which indicates activity or change in condition that requires the atten-
tion and/or response of an operator. Examples of possible off-normal events are:
• Activation or change in condition of a monitoring device such as a detector or module
• System troubles, such as battery problems, device supervision problems, etc.
When there are no off-normal events, the panel displays the System Normal screen (refer to
Figure 2.1). When there is an off-normal event, the panel will display it (for event formats, refer to
Section 1.6.2, “Event Reporting Format”, on page 14). The action required will vary according to
the type of event.
2.1.1 System Normal

The system operates in System Normal mode when no alarms or troubles exist. In this mode, the
control panel displays a System Normal message as follows

SYSTEM NORMAL
11:58:45A TUE JAN 25, 2011
MAIN MENU
Figure 2.1 System Normal Screen
The control panel performs the following functions at regular intervals:

• Polls all SLC devices to check for valid replies, alarms, troubles, circuit integrity, and
supervisory signals, etc.
• Checks power supply troubles and batteries
• Refreshes the panel display and updates time
• Scans for any panel screen, keypad, and Control Key entries
• Performs a detector automatic test operation
• Tests system memory
• Monitors for microcontroller failure
No action is required of the operator when the panel is operating in Normal mode.

Fire Alarm Event Operation of the Control Panel
2.1.2 Acknowledging an Event

When the panel detects an off-normal event and the information is displayed on-screen, one of the
soft keys displayed on the screen is ACKNOWLEDGE. Use this key to respond to new alarm or trou-
ble signals. When this key is pressed, the control panel does the following:
• It silences the piezo sounder on the panel if it is enabled
• It transfers the event to the history buffer
• If the panel is networked, it will send a network message.
There are two types of acknowledge; point and block. Point acknowledge is for fire alarms: fire
alarms are acknowledged one at a time when the Acknowledge soft key is pressed. Block acknowl-
edge is for all other types of off-normal events: these events are acknowledged all at the same time,
with a single stroke to the Acknowledge soft key.
NOTE: If Local Control is disabled, acknowledgements can not be made by pressing the
ACKNOWLEDGE soft key on the panel display. Events must be acknowledged from a
preprogrammed remote location. When DCC (Display and Control Center) participation is
enabled, panel acknowledgement can be performed when it is the DCC. When it is not,
permission must be granted from the DCC before the panel can make an acknowledgement.
Pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key will automatically request permission from the DCC.
NOTE: If the panel is programmed for Receive Mode, events and the clearing of events must be
handled one at a time: each event must be acknowledged, and each clear (whether the clear
occurs automatically or as the result of a panel reset) must be acknowledged.
2.2 Fire Alarm Event

2.2.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Fire Alarm
When an initiating device (detector or monitor module) activates, the control panel does the follow-
ing:
• Produces a steady audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
• Activates the System Alarm relay (TB4). It will also activate the Security (TB1) and
Supervisory (TB2) relays if their switches have been configured for alarm
• Flashes the FIRE ALARM LED
• Displays FIRE ALARM in the upper left corner of the display, a Type Code that indicates the type
of device that activated the fire alarm, and other information specific to the device. The
message occupies the top four lines of the screen, replacing the System Normal message as
shown in Figure 2.2 below. Refer to “Point Events Format” on page 14 for a full description of
each message field
• Sends an Alarm message to the History buffer and installed printer and annunciators
• Latches the control panel in alarm. (You cannot return the control panel to normal operation
until you correct the alarm condition and reset the control panel)
• Initiates any Control-By-Event actions
• Starts timers (such as Silence Inhibit, Auto Silence)
• Activates the general alarm zone (Z000)
NOTE: If a monitor module programmed with a WATERFLOW Type Code initiates a fire alarm, the
control panel disables the SIGNAL SILENCE key and the Auto Silence Timer.

2.2.2 How to Respond to a Fire Alarm

If the control panel indicates a fire alarm, the operator can do the following:
• To silence the panel sounder:
Press the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key. The local sounder will silence and the FIRE ALARM LED
will change from flashing to steady. The control panel will send an acknowledge message to
the panel display, history buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
• To silence any activated outputs that are programmed as silenceable:
Press the SIGNAL SILENCE soft key. SIGNALS SILENCED LED light steady. The control panel
sends a Signal Silenced message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
1. Check the Alarm message for its location and type. Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key
to display the MORE INFORMATION screen and view additional information on the device and
possibly preprogrammed text for recommended action. (Refer to Figure 1.8 on page 19 for an
example of the this screen and an explanation of its fields.)
2. Correct the condition causing the alarm.
3. When the alarm condition is corrected, press the SYSTEM RESET soft key to return the control
panel to normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message). The control panel
sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer and installed printer.
If both fire and mass notification events are present on the fire panel at the same time, a second
System Reset will need to be performed to reset the fire panel. The panel will display MN
SYSTEM RESET or FIRE SYSTEM RESET, depending on which event has priority. Refer to the
NFS2-3030 Programming Manual for event priority programming information.
The soft key PROGRAM/ALTER STATUS is also displayed on this screen. A password is required
to enter these menus, which are described in the NFS2-3030 Programming Manual.
2.2.3 Interpreting Type ID Codes

The Type ID code that displays in the fire alarm message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the fire alarm. For example, a monitor module with a PULL STATION Type ID
code means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the Type ID code is unfa-
miliar, refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 78. This appendix is an alphabeti-
cal list of Type ID codes with an explanation of each.

System or Point Trouble Event Operation of the Control Panel
2.3 System or Point Trouble Event

2.3.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a System or Point Trouble
A system or point trouble occurs when the control panel detects an electrical or mechanical fault. The panel
will react differently depending on whether or not there are higher priority unacknowledged events.
When no higher priority unacknowledged events are exist, the control panel:
• Produces a pulsed audible tone (if the piezo is enabled)
• Activates the Trouble relay (TB3)
• Flashes the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED
• Displays a Type Code that indicates the type of device with a trouble (if a point trouble)
• Displays TROUBLE in the upper left corner of the panel display and, if a point trouble, the
type of trouble and information specific to the device. (A system and a point trouble message
are shown in the figures below)
• Sends a Trouble message to the history buffer, installed printer and annunciators
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains the indica-
tions of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while activating the
Trouble relay, flashing the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED, and sending a Trouble message to the history
buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
A system trouble message is shown in Figure 2.3, and a point trouble is shown in Figure 2.4. Refer
to Section 1.6.2, “Event Reporting Format”, on page 14 for identification of each message field.

2.3.2 How to Respond to a System or Point Trouble

If the control panel indicates a trouble, the operator can do the following:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key to silence the panel sounder and switch the SYSTEM TROUBLE
LED from flashing to steady—regardless of the number of troubles, alarms, security and
supervisory signals.
The control panel sends an acknowledge message to the History buffer, installed printers and
annunciators.
2. Check the trouble message for an indication of the trouble.
• Refer to Table 2.1 or Table 2.2 below for point and system trouble explanations, if necessary.
• Press the MORE INFORMATION soft key to display the MORE INFORMATION screen and
view additional information on the device and possibly preprogrammed text for
recommended action. (Refer to Figure 1.8 on page 19 for an example of the this screen and
an explanation of its fields.)
3. Correct the condition causing the trouble. If the trouble clears, the control panel sends a Clear
Trouble message to the History buffer, installed printers and annunciators.
If all troubles clear and no supervisory signals or fire alarms exist, the control panel does the fol-
lowing:
• Returns to Normal operation (indicated by the “System Normal” message)
• Sends a “System Normal” message to the panel display, History buffer, installed printers and
annunciators
• Restores troubles automatically - even if troubles are not acknowledged
to enter these menus, which are described in this panel’s programming manual.
2.3.3 Trouble Types

There are a variety of point or system trouble types that may appear in the trouble message. The
tables below give lists of the troubles and indications of their cause.
Point (Device) Troubles

The Type ID code that displays in a point trouble message is related to the type and function of the
point that initiates the trouble. For example, a monitor module with a PULL STATION Type ID code
means that the monitor module connects to a manual pull station. If the Type ID code is unfamiliar,
refer to Appendix A, “Software Type ID Codes”, on page 78. This appendix is an alphabetical list
of Type ID codes and an explanation of each.
2.4 Pre-alarm Event

The Pre-alarm function is used to receive an early warning of potential or incipient fire conditions.
The Pre-alarm function provides one of two settings as follows:
• Alert – a non-latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed
Pre-alarm sensitivity threshold. Non-latching means the condition will automatically restore to
normal once the detector’s obscuration readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold.
• Action – a latching setting that causes a Pre-alarm when a detector reaches its programmed
Pre-alarm level. Latching means the condition will not restore itself to normal once the
detector’s obscuration readings drop below its Pre-alarm threshold. The panel must be reset.
Alert and Action settings are set individually with detector point programming. Individual detector
sensitivity threshold settings can have a value of one through nine, and are set by the programmer.
A sensitivity threshold setting of zero indicates the detector does not participate in prealarm.
For more detailed information on Pre-alarm, refer to this panel’s programming manual.
2.4.1 How the Control Panel Indicates a Pre-alarm

When a detector activates a Pre-alarm, the control panel does the following if there are no higher
priority unacknowledged events:
• Pulses the panel sounder (if the piezo is enabled)
• Flashes the PRE-ALARM LED
• Displays PREALARM in the upper left corner of the LCD, as well as the sensitivity reading, the
type code and other information specific to the detector as shown in Figure 2.5.
• Sends a Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.

Operation of the Control Panel Pre-alarm Event
When an unacknowledged event with a higher priority exists, the control panel retains indications
of the higher priority event (the message, lit LED, audible tone, etc.) while flashing the PRE-ALARM
LED and sending a Pre-alarm message to the History buffer, installed printer and annunciators.
The Pre-alarm screen display is the same for both alert and action conditions. Following is a sample
screen for a Pre-alarm message.

2.13.1 How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Fire Control
Point
A point with a Type ID of FIRE CONTROL is used for air handler shutdown, intended to override nor-
mal operating automatic functions.
Activation of a FIRE CONTROL point causes the control panel to do the following:
• Initiates the monitor module Control-by-Event
• Send a message to the panel display, History buffer, installed printer and annunciators
• Does NOT light an indicator at the control panel
• Displays ACTIVE in the upper left corner of the LCD, as well as a FIRE CONTROL Type Code

2.13.2 How the Control Panel Indicates an Active Non-fire Point

A point with a Type ID of NON-FIRE is used for energy management or other non-fire situations.
NON-FIRE point operation does not affect control panel operation, nor does it display a message at
the panel LCD. Activation of a NON-FIRE point activates CBE—but does not cause any indication
on the control panel. For example, you can program a NON-FIRE point to turn lights in a zone to a
lower setting when activated. In this case, when the point activates the control panel activates the
point’s CBE to turn the lights down without any audio or visual indication on the control panel.

AC Fail Delay Timer
This timer delays the time from the start of AC failure to when the trouble is reported. The timer
value may be set to none, or from 1-12 hours. A value of “none” will cause immediate notification.
The onboard trouble relay and municipal box output will activate when the countdown is complete.
Note that this panel notifies the central station communicator as soon as AC failure occurs, and the
central station communicator follows its own programmed schedule for reporting the failure.

Operation of the Control Panel Operation of Special System Timers, Presignal, and PAS
Silence Inhibit Timer

This timer disables the SIGNAL SILENCE and RESET key function for the programmed time (MM:SS
seconds) when a fire alarm occurs. A Silence Inhibit Timer starts at the first fire alarm. A panel
reset is required to re-enable this timer. It can be set with a value from 0 (the timer is disabled) to 5
minutes.
Auto Silence Timer
This timer functions like pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE key. When the Auto Silence Timer reaches
its programmed value (0, 10 minutes, 15 or 20 minutes, with the setting = 20 for Canadian installa-
tions), the control panel automatically shuts off all active outputs programmed as silenceable.
2.14.2 Presignal
Presignal is a feature that initially delays activation of outputs with ZF0 in their zone map until the
Presignal timer has expired. This feature allows for the initial sounding of outputs only in specific
areas, monitored by qualified personnel. To participate in Presignal, inputs and outputs must
include Special Zone ZF0 in their zone map. The Presignal timer is programmed to a value from 60
to 180 seconds.
How the Panel Indicates a Presignal Alarm
When an initiating device participating in Presignal goes into alarm, the panel LCD displays a fire
alarm message. (Refer to Section 2.2, “Fire Alarm Event”, on page 25.) If a second alarm occurs
while the Presignal timer is counting down, the control panel aborts the Presignal timer countdown
and activates all programmed outputs. The fire alarm LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses a
steady tone. The control panel latches until the alarm is corrected and the SYSTEM RESET key is
pressed to reset the panel.
How to Respond to a Presignal Alarm
Once the Presignal timer has begun counting down, the operator has the duration of the countdown
time to respond to the alarm before the control panel automatically activates all outputs with ZF0 in
their zone map and CBE linkage to the alarm. The operator can reset the panel if the alarm is deter-
mined false, or press DRILL to evacuate the building immediately.
2.14.3 PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence)

PAS (Positive Alarm Sequence), used in conjunction with Presignal, allows a 15-second time
period for acknowledging an alarm signal from a fire detection/initiating device. If the alarm is not
acknowledged within 15 seconds, all programmed outputs activate. If the alarm is acknowledged
within 15 seconds, the control panel will enter Presignal mode as described above.
The PAS Inhibit switch can be used to turn off the PAS delay timer when the control panel is unat-
tended.

Section 3: Read Status
This section contains instructions and screen illustrations for Read Status functions and menus
using the NFS2-3030 display.
Read Status allows viewing of detailed device status information without entering a password or
halting full fire protection. Information can be viewed while a fire alarm or trouble condition exists.
Read Status screens are refreshed periodically with up-to-date information.
Read Status can be reached from the Main Menu screen, which is accessible from the System Nor-
mal screen and from most other screens by pressing the BACK soft key until it displays. (Refer to
Figure 1.6 for an illustration of the Main Menu screen.)

Appendix B: Releasing Zones
B.1 Introduction
The control panel provides ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09). These are special zones that can be
used for up to ten independent releasing operations. This section contains descriptions of each
releasing function option and an example of how Releasing Zone options work.
For instructions on programming Releasing Functions, refer to this panel’s programming manual.
Each Releasing Zone includes the following releasing options:
Option Description
Cross Zone Cross Zones let you program the control panel to activate a Releasing Zone when two
or more detectors or modules are alarmed. Cross Zone selections are:
Yes Two or more detectors or modules are alarmed that are mapped to one of the
ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09).
Zone Two or more detectors or modules are alarmed that are mapped to two
different Software Zones and mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones
(R0-R9).
Heat At least one smoke detector mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones
(ZR00-ZR09) is alarmed and at least one heat detector mapped to the same
Releasing Zone as the smoke detector is alarmed.
None Cross Zones are not used.
Delay Timer A 0–60 second programmable delay before activating a zone.
Abort Switch An Abort Switch Type Code used to abort activation of a zone.
Manual Release Allows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort function, cross-zone
function, and delay timer.
Soak Timer Automatically shuts off the releasing device after a preprogrammed period of time.
Select 0001-9999 seconds for Soak Time or 0000 seconds for no Soak Time.

Section C: Factory Mutual Applications
The FMM-4-20:
The FMM-4-20 is intended for use in intelligent, two-wire systems, allowing Control Panels to
interface and monitor two-wire or three-wire sensors with a 4-20 mA signal.
NOTE: Factory Mutual (FM) Approval does not include or imply Approval of gas detector heads
or other apparatus to which the FMM-4-20 may be connected. In order to maintain an FM
Approved system, the sensor to which the FMM-4-20 is connected must also be FM approved.
The FMM-4-20 monitor can be used in FlashScan mode only. CLIP mode operation will generate a
trouble message at the panel.
NOTE: The FMM-4-20 is compatible for display at the NCA-2 and ONYXWorks.
The following is a list of troubles that can occur on the FMM-4-20. For further information and
suggested action to evaluate these troubles, refer to Section 2.3 on page 27.
Trouble: Description:
DEVICE INHIBIT The FMM-4-20 is in a self-calibration state.
DUAL ADDRESS There is more than one device with the same SLC address.
INVALID RESPONSE The device has returned a response to the panel that the
panel did not expect.
MISMAT HDWE TYPE The programming information in the panel’s database does
not match the device at the address specified.
MOD EXT PWR LOSS The module has lost external power.
NO ANSWER The device is not responding to the poll.
NO THRESHOLDS PROGRAMMED No threshold values have been programmed for the FMM-
4-20.
OPEN CIRCUIT The module has an open circuit on it’s supervised wiring.
OVER RANGE The FMM-4-20’s 4-20 mA sensor has exceeded 20 mA.
SHORT CIRCUIT The module has a short circuit on it’s supervised wiring.
TROUBLE1 An FMM-4-20 module threshold trouble as determined in
point programming.
TROUBLE2 An FMM-4-20 module threshold trouble as determined in
point programming.
UNDER RANGE The FMM-4-20’s 4-20 mA sensor has dropped below 4
mA.
NOTE: If the FMM-4-20 is monitoring a sensor that supports the Device Inhibit condition, it is
recommended that the user program one of the 4-20 mA thresholds to support this condition.

Factory Mutual Applications
EXAMPLE:
The following is an example of the FMM-4-20 programmed for use with a gas detection device:
Programming Field: Setting: Explanation:
• 4 mA Scale Value • 0
• 20 mA Scale Value • 200
• Units • PPM
• Hysteresis • 2%
• Threshold Settings • Threshold 1: When the gas sensor has a reading that reaches 52ppm, a Non-Fire
• Threshold value = 52 event will be reported at the FACP.
• Event = Non-Fire
• Tracking/Latching = Tracking
• Event trigger = Upper Level
• Threshold 2: When the gas sensor has a reading that reaches 148ppm, a Supervisory
• Threshold Value = 148 event will be reported at the FACP.
• Event = Supervisory
• Tracking/Latching = Latching
• Event Trigger = Upper Level
• Threshold 3: For the gas sensor in this example, a Device Inhibit condition will occur
• Threshold Value = -25 at 2 mA. This is below the 4 mA Scale Value.
• Event = Trouble To calculate the threshold value for the Device Inhibit condition, use the
• Trouble Type = Device Inhibit following equation:
• Tracking/Latching = Tracking (20 mA Scale Value - 4 mA Scale Value) / 16 mA
• Event Trigger = Same Level This will give the ppm value for each mA.
For this example:
(200ppm - 0ppm) / 16mA = 12.5ppm/mA
Each mA is the equal to a gas sensor reading of 12.5ppm.
The Device Inhibit setting is 2 mA below the 4 mA Scale Value. If each
mA has a value of 12.5ppm, the threshold value is 2 mA x 12.5ppm,
which equals 25. Since the Device Inhibit condition occurs at a value that
is below the 4 mA Scale Value, the Threshold Value will be subtracted
from it. In this example, the 4 mA Scale Value is zero, so the Threshold
Value will be programmed as a negative number.
NOTE: For further information on programing the FMM-4-20, refer to the Programming Manual
provided with the FACP.
• When monitoring gases, the most significant threshold must be latching. Less significant
thresholds may be non-latching.
• When monitoring combustible gases, the most significant threshold must not be set higher than
60% of the flammable limit of the gas.
• If the gas sensor that the FMM-4-20 Module is monitoring supports a Device Inhibit condition,
one of the FMM-4-20 thresholds should be programmed to detect the Device Inhibit condition.
NOTE: If the intensity of the LCD display on the fire panel needs to be increased or decreased to
improve legibility, please refer to LCD Display Programming in the NFS2-3030 Programming
Manual.
