6.4.3 Group Fault Conditions
Group faults relate to detection loop output modules such as sounder circuit controllers, loop powered sounders
and the output channel of the input \ output modules. These types of devices are assigned during
commissioning to output group numbers, which are then programmed into cause & effect strategies. Output
groups then operate during a zone priority 1 fire condition ringing sounders, bells and operating shutdown etc.
Note: Input devices (Smokes, Break Glass, Input modules) are assigned to Zones while output devices
(Sounder modules, Output modules & Loop sounders) are assigned to output groups.
If a group fault occurs, generally as a result of a faulty loop device:
