The Process refers to how the panel will process the signal from a particular device. Listed below are the types of processes and a
description of what they do.
Initiating (Detection) Circuit Types:
Non-Veried Alarm This is a “Normal” type of Alarm which may have Pull-Stations, Smoke Sensors or Heat
Sensors attached. Any activation of these devices will immediately result in an Alarm
condition in the Fire Alarm Control Panel. An Alarm condition causes any associated Zone
Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate Red.
Veried Alarm These Alarms are veried by a reset and timing procedure, and may have Pull-Stations,
Smoke Sensors or Heat Sensors attached. Any activation of Pull-Stations or Heat Sensors will
result in an Alarm condition in the Fire Alarm Control Panel within 4 seconds. Smoke Sensors
will be veried for a real Alarm within 60 seconds depending upon the start-up time of the
Smoke Sensors being used. If 4 seconds is too long a response time for Pull-Stations, then
they should be wired separately on a Non-Veried Alarm Circuit. An Alarm condition causes
any associated Zone Status LED and the Common Alarm LED to illuminate Red.
Water-Flow Alarm Water-ow Alarms are for FRCM’s monitoring waterow switches on sprinkler systems.
When this type of alarm is selected a 15-second delay, (Retard), is automatically introduced
to that circuit. The circuit is sampled once a second, if an alarm condition exists on the circuit
for 10 samples in a fteen second period an alarm signal is sent. An alarm condition causes
any associated Zone Status LED and the common Alarm LED to illuminate as well as any
NAC or relays correlated to that address. The 15 second retard time cannot be changed or
disabled. If it is desired to not have a retard time associated with a waterow device simply
select Non-Veried Alarm as the circuit type.
General Alarm To provide Remote General Alarm, such as for remote key-switches. In a Single Stage
System, these inputs act the same as Non-Veried Alarms, but if Correlations are enabled,
General Alarm Notication Circuits are correlated to ALL Notication Circuits.
Non-Latching Supervisory Supervisory devices that are not required to have the system reset may be congured as non-
latching. An activation on these circuits will cause any associated Zone Status LED and the
Common Supervisory LED to illuminate Amber. The buzzer will sound continuously. If the
circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will clear (so long as there are no
other Supervisory conditions in the system) and the Zone Status LED will extinguish.
Latching Supervisory Supervisory devices that are required to latch on the control panel must be congured as
latching. Activation on these circuits will cause any associated Zone Status LED and the
Common Supervisory LED to illuminate Amber. The buzzer will sound continuously. If the
circuit activation is removed, the Supervisory condition will NOT clear until the panel is reset.
Monitor This is a supervised general purpose non-latching input used mainly for correlating to a Relay
Circuit. No other system condition occurs as a result of its activation (short-circuit), although
it is supervised for Trouble (open-circuit).
Trouble-Only This is for monitoring a Trouble Condition from an external device. Both open and short
circuits generate a non-latching Trouble condition.
