Product Description Accessories

1.4.1 Intelligent Addressable Detectors

Intelligent, addressable detectors provide information to the control panel on an SLC Signaling Line Circuit (refer to the NOTIFIER SLC
Wiring Manual (51253) for detailed information on device installation, wiring and operation). This allows the control panel to continu-
ally process the information to determine the status (alarm, trouble, maintenance or normal) of each detector. Each detector responds to
an SLC address that is set in the detector head using built-in rotary decimal switches. The maximum address cannot exceed address 99.
Note that a blinking LED on an intelligent detector indicates communication between the detector and the control panel.
These devices (951 Series or newer) can operate in CLIP mode (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) or FlashScan mode to provide a
quicker response. They are also compatible with older 851 Series devices. If a mix of old and new series devices are installed on the
same loop, the FACP must be programmed to operate in CLIP mode. Refer to the NOTIFIER Device Compatibility Document (15378)
for a list of compatible addressable detectors.

1.4.2 Intelligent Addressable Modules

Control Modules and Monitor Modules provide an interface between the control panel and conventional notification and initiating
devices. Each module can be set to respond to an address with built-in rotary switches. The maximum address cannot exceed address 99.
Note that a blinking LED on an addressable module indicates communication between the module and the control panel.
These devices can operate in CLIP mode (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) or FlashScan mode to provide a quicker response.
If a mix of old and new series devices are installed on the same loop, the FACP must be programmed to operate in CLIP mode. Refer to
the NOTIFIER SLC Wiring Manual for a list of compatible addressable modules. Refer to the Device Compatibility Document (15378)
for a list of approved conventional notification and initiating devices.

1.4.3 Addressable Device Accessories

End-of-Line Resistor Assembly
The End-of-Line resistors are included with each module. Refer to the specific module documentation for specific information.
Power Supervision Relay
The UL listed End-of-Line power supervision relay is used to supervise the power to 4-wire smoke detectors and notification appliances.

WARNING: RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY
! SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOURCES OF POWER CAN BE CONNECTED TO THIS PANEL. DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES
OF POWER BEFORE SERVICING. THE PANEL AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT MAY BE DAMAGED BY REMOVING
AND/OR INSERTING CARDS, MODULES OR INTERCONNECTING CABLES WHILE THIS UNIT IS ENERGIZED.

2.2.1 Connecting Multiple PMBs and SLM-318s

The connections between the PMB, the N16 Core Board and SLM-318s have two primary purposes; they carry communications and
they carry power. The communication takes place on a bus with two endpoints. The ends of the communication bus are set for “enable
termination” (SW6 on the SLM-318 and SW5 on the PMB-AUX). Termination is always enabled on the N16 Core Board.
The power is segregated by the PMB power supplies. The Core and SLM-318 on the top section are powered by the top PMB (refer to
Figure 2.2, “Multiple PMB Power Supplies with Ten SLM-318 Modules”) The SLM-318 modules on the bottom two sections are pow-
ered by EITHER the middle PMB-AUX power supply OR bottom PMB-AUX power supply.

NOTE: The Core board on the N16 can only receive power on J15, it cannot pass power out of J15.

PMB Power Supply Installation

NOTE: A maximum of five (5) SLM-318 loop cards can run on one (1) N16 PMB. For additional power needs or loop cards, additional PMB-AUX
power supplies will be required. Each PMB-AUX can power up to five (5) SLM-318 cards for a maximum of ten (10) total SLM-318 cards on a
system. If ten (10) loop cards are installed, two (2) additional PMB-AUX power supplies will be required.

2.2.2 AC Power and Earth Ground Connection

Primary power required for the FACP is 120 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 3.25 amps. The FACP will
auto-detect the voltage used. No special switch or jumper is required to select AC power. Over-
current protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and/or local codes. Use 14 AWG (2.00 mm2) or larger wire with 600 volt insulation rating.
Make certain that the AC mains circuit breaker is off before wiring any connections between the
mains and the control panel. Connect wiring from the AC mains to TB8 on the FACP, being care-
ful to observe proper connections.
Remove the two keps nuts from the grounding stud in the backbox. Connect the incoming earth
ground wire to the supplied cable with a wire nut. Position the ring terminal end over the ground- TB8 AC Power Connection
ing stud. Secure with one of the keps nuts. Place the ring terminal from the other supplied ground
cableover the ground stud and secure with the second keps nut. Wire the ground cable to the bot-
tom position of TB11 as shown in Figure 2.3. Ensure that the ground for AC mains is the first cable installed, closest to the backbox.
This connection is vital in reducing the panel’s susceptibility to transients generated by lightning and electrostatic discharge. Apply AC
power to the panel only after the system is completely installed and visually checked.
Note that AC power must be applied to the panel before installing the battery interconnect cable

Installation Remote Synchronization Input

2.4 Remote Synchronization Input

Synchronization is a feature
that controls the activation of
notification appliances in such
a way that all devices will turn
on and off at exactly the same
time. This is particularly criti-
cal when activating strobes
which must be synchronized to
avoid random activation and a
potential hazard to individuals.
The PMB offers a Remote TB6
Sync input that can accept syn-
chronization outputs from
NAC circuits to easily sync
notification appliances from
multiple sources.

Figure 2.7 Remote Sync Wiring

2.5 UL Power-Limited Wiring Requirements

Power-limited (Class 2) and non-power-limited circuit wiring must remain separated in the cabinet. The following requirements apply:
• All power-limited circuit wiring must remain 0.25 inches (6.35mm) from non-power-limited circuit wiring.
• All power-limited and non-power-limited circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different knockouts or conduits.
• If the device connected is only power-limited when connected to a power-limited source, the power limited marking must be
removed and at the time of installation, each non-power-limited circuit connected to these modules must be identified in the space
provided on the cabinet door label.
• If additional knockouts are added to the backbox, proper separation of power-limited and non-power-limited wiring should be
maintained.

NOTE: Relays are power-limited only when connected to power-limited sources for the relay outputs.

2.7 Wiring a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC)

2.7.1 SLC Overview
Communication between the CPU and intelligent and addressable initiating, monitor and control devices takes place
through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). You can wire an SLC to meet the requirements of NFPA Class A, B or X circuits.
This manual provides requirements and performance details specific to this control panel; for installation information and
general information, refer to the SLC Wiring Manual #51253.
For electrical specifications, see the SLM-318 Product Installation Document #LS10243-000GE-E. For additional notes on
SLC resistance values, see “Operational Checks” on page 84.

2.7.2 SLC Capacity

The N16 supports up to ten SLM-318 loop modules, providing from one to ten SLC loops. Loop capacity depends on operating mode:
• Flash Scan: 01-159 intelligent detectors, 01-159 monitor and control modules
• CLIP: 0-99 intelligent detectors, 01-99 monitor and control modules (requires license)
FlashScan devices can operate in either FlashScan or, for retrofit applications, in CLIP mode. Older models of CLIP devices only sup-
port addresses up to address 99. CLIP loops are limited to 99 detectors and 99 modules.

NOTE: Response times for CLIP loops may vary. CLIP loops must be tested to assure that
actuation of notification appliances occurs within 10 seconds after activation of an initiating
device. Systems with response time that exceed 10 seconds must be approved by the AHJ.

The following configuration guidelines may be used to improve the response times of CLIP loops:
1. All manual pull stations must be assigned addresses from 1-20.
2. Loops must be programmed for Rapid Poll.
3. Modules on a fully loaded loop must adhere to a ratio of two monitor modules to one control module.
2.7.3 Self-Test Detector Function on the SLC
The SLM-318 is capable of supporting up to 159 Self Test Detectors. When Self-Test Detectors are installed on the SLM-318 and a self
test is being performed the voltage on the SLC Loop will increase to 29.5VDC +/-5% (28.0-30.98VDC). If there is no self test in pro-
cess, the voltage will remain at 24VDC.

Installation Trouble Relay

CAUTION: LOOP POLLING INTERRUPTION

WHEN THE FACP IS PREFORMING A SELF TEST THE DEVICES ON THE LOOP WILL NOT POLL

NOTE: When the FACP is using back up battery power a self test will not be preformed.

2.7.4 Local Mode on the SLC

The SLM-318 is capable of running in Local Mode if it has not received communication from the core board for one minute. A user can
create a local mode zone and map both inputs and outputs to this zone. While the SLM-318 is in Local Mode, if any of the inputs placed
in the local mode zone activate, the SLM-318 will turn ON all of the outputs mapped to the same zone.

2.7.5 SLC Installation

Install the SLM-318 as described in “SLM-318 Signaling Loop Module” on page 29. Note that the unique SLC loop
number assigned to a module does not need to match the module’s location in the cabinet. For details on designing,
installing and configuring SLC loops, see the Notifier SLC Wiring Manual #51253.

2.11.3 AIO-BUS Wiring

This section contains information on calculating AIO-BUS wire distances and the types of wiring configurations (Class B).
Shielding the AIO Circuit
The AIO circuit must be wired using a twisted pair cable having a characteristic
impedance of 120 ohms, +/- 20%. Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same
conduit as, 120-volt AC service, noisy electrical circuits that are powering
mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 Vrms, motor control circuits,
or SCR power circuits.

Enclosure Annunciator

Figure 2.18 Terminating the Shield

NOTE: Shielded wire is not necessary but when it is used, the shield should be connected to system ground (not earth) at the FACP and
ground on the Main AIO connector (P6) at the ACM-30. If the ACM-30 is using a remote power supply, the shield will serve as the AIO
reference wire.

ACM-30 AIO Bus Wiring

• AIO wiring to the external bus of a control panel can be wired class A or class B.
• AIO wiring to the internal bus of a control panel can be wired class B only.
• The AIO circuit cannot be T-Tapped; it must be wired in a continuous fashion to function properly.
• There is a maximum of 6,000 feet at 16 AWG between the panel and the last annunciator on the internal AIO circuit (subject to the
system’s power restrictions). There is a maximum of 200 feet at 16 AWG between the panel and the last annunciator on the external
AIO circuit (subject to the system’s power restrictions).
• The wiring size must be a 12 AWG to 18 AWG twisted shielded pair cable having a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms, +/- 20%.
• Each AIO circuit must have 18VDC with a max current of 93mA at each device.

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 35

Installation Security Tamper Switch

• Do not run cable adjacent to, or in the same conduit as, 120 volts AC service, “noisy” electrical circuits that are powering
mechanical bells or horns, audio circuits above 25 VRMS, motor control circuits, or SCR power circuits.
If annunciators are to be mounted in a separate cabinet or powered by a remote power supply, see Figure 2.22, “Using Multiple Power
Supplies with the AIO Circuit” on page 38.
Wiring Configuration
Figure 2.19 illustrates the wiring between the FACP’s External AIO-BUS and AIO-BUS [Link] external AIO BUS can be wired

class B only.

To AIO-Bus Annunciators

Figure 2.20 Internal AIO-BUS wiring to AIO-BUS Device

Powering Both AIO-BUS Circuits Simultaneously

When simultaneously using the External and Internal AIO-BUS circuits on the FACP, power can be shared from the Non-resettable
Power outputs on TB7. This provides the benefit of independently acting power-limiting for the two AIO-BUS circuits.
AIO-BUS Device Addressing
Each AIO-BUS device requires a unique address (ID Number) in order to communicate with the FACP. An address dial on each device
is used to set this address. The address set for these devices must also be programmed at the FACP for the specific device
A maximum of 40 devices can be connected to each FACP AIO-BUS communication circuit, with up to 10 set as Routers each capable
of hosting 15 peripherals. Device addresses do not need to be sequential and can be set to any number between 01 and 15 This applies to
both AIO-BUS communication circuits (External and Internal). Note that 00 is not a valid address.

2.12 ACM-30 Remote Fire Annunciator

2.12.1 Installing the ACM-30
Ensure that all power (AC and DC) has been removed from the FACP before installing the annunciator.
The ACM-30 annunciators can be mounted in special backboxes, the ABB Series, or in the CAB-4/5 series cabinets using a hinged dress
panel, the DP-4A, DP-T2A, DP-4A-CB4, or DP-T2A-CB4. Refer to the ABB, CAB-4, or CAB-5 Series Installation Documents for
enclosure mounting instructions.

2.12.2 Wiring the ACM-30

Select an appropriate knockout on the enclosure for the wiring to run through and snap it out. Pull all annunciator wiring into the enclo-
sure. Connect annunciator wiring to the removable terminal blocks at this time. for circuit requirements.

NOTE: All power must be turned off when connecting the 24 VDC power to the annunciator. Reapply power according to the instructions in the
control panel manual.

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 37

Installation ACM-30 Remote Fire Annunciator

The ACM-30 power source must be filtered, non-resettable, 24VDC listed for fire-protective signaling use. Sources include FACP
power supplies and auxiliary power supplies. The power run to the annunciator need not contain a power supervision relay because loss
of power is inherently supervised through communication loss (AIO communication loss is registered at the control panel during loss of
power to the annunciator).
Connector P6 is the Main AIO bus connection to wire the router to the FACP. Connectors P3 and P4 are used for the Local AIO bus to
wire from the router to the peripherals. These connectors are interchangeable, providing both power and data from the router. Use the 6”
local AIO cable to wire ACM-30 annunciators in the same row of the cabinet. Use the 48” local AIO cable to wire annunciators on dif-
ferent rows of cabinets.
An Optional Kit (Part number ACM-30CBL) can be obtained if additional rows of ACM-30 are required. The kit contains a longer cable
to connect one row of ACMs to an adjacent row of ACMs and 4 interconnect cables (for connecting ACM in the same row).

2.19.7 Fire/Security ApplicationsGeneral Operation

The N16 can be used as a combination Fire/Security system when installed and operated according to the instructions in this section.
For security applications, program one or more monitor module (listed for security applications) with the SECURITY-L, SYSTEM MONI-
TOR, or AREA MONITOR Type Codes and wire as shown in Figure 2.17, “Wiring Diagram for Proprietary Security Alarm Applications” on
page 35. Activating these types of modules lights the SECURITY LED and displays a security alarm condition on the primary display. The
panel sounder will sound until you acknowledge the Security alarm. You can also program additional sounders or output devices to acti-
vate with the security alarm initiating device. These type codes are designed to indicate an alarm in one or more of the following situa-
tions:

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 45

Installation Connecting an FAAST Intelligent Aspiration Detector

(a) on an open or short circuit

(b) on a ±50% change in resistance value from the End-of-Line resistor value
(c) on loss of communication with the device.
A tamper switch installed in the cabinet door will indicate a door tamper condition whenever the door is open. If the control panel indi-
cates a Security alarm, you can perform acknowledge, signal silence and system reset from the control panel.
Damage can result from incorrect wiring connections.

2.19.8 General Security Requirements

The following security requirements must be met:
• Use PMB power supply.
• Shielded cable must be used on all input/output wiring associated with security functions.
• SLC Loop Shielding (refer to the SLC Wiring Manual).
• Security Module I/O Circuit Shielding - terminate the shield at earth ground at the junction box containing the module.
• When employed as a Protected Premises Unit, the N16 cabinet door must be wired with an STS-1 Tamper Switch that is monitored
by the control panel.
• If the system has arming and disarming capability, a ringback signal from the Central Station to the arming location is required. The
ringback signal informs the Protected Premises Control Panel that the signal to arm/disarm has been received by the Central Station.
• A single SLC loop may be used for both Fire and Security Device Connections.
There are five software type IDs associated with security operation: ACCESS MONITOR alarm, AREA MONITOR, EQUIP MONITOR, SECU-
RITY-L and SYS MONITOR. There is also one software function, Security Delay (SDEL). These software elements are essential to all
aspects of security operation, including Control-By-Event (CBE) programming. Devices with the type IDs ACCESS MONITOR and EQUIP
MONITOR do not automatically display at the display or require state change acknowledgment. State changes in devices with these soft-
ware types may be output at a printer. Refer to this panel’s programming section for more information about the characteristics of soft-

3.4 Programming Features Accessed Through VeriFire Tools

NOTE: The following panel functions are programmed through VeriFire Tools only and cannot be done at the FACP. Refer to the VeriFire Tools
help files for more information

The following programming is done via VeriFire Tools.

3.4.1 Local Control

This option disables or enables local panel control of the Signal Silence, System Reset and Drill Fixed Function keys, as well as S and
ACKNOWLEDGE. A setting of NO (disable) turns the panel piezo sounder off, overriding the if PIEZO is set to ON. Default: YES

3.4.2 AIO Mapping

The N16 has both an external and internal AIO-Bus that connects annunciators and remote displays with the FACP. Each AIO device can
have a customizable primary label of up to 80 characters. The External AIO-Bus can be wired in Class A or Class B. The internal AIO is
fixed at Class B only. Devices on the AIO-Bus can be configured as routers or peripherals. There is a maximum of 10 unique router
addresses available for devices configured as routers.
The N16 AIO-Bus can support 80 ACM-30 annunciators with up to 10 configured as routers, each controlling up to 15 ACM-30s configured
as peripherals. Additionally, the AIO-Bus can support up to 5 RLD’s (remote display). The RLD can be configured as a router, each utilizing
one of the 10 available router addresses but does not support peripherals.
The following restrictions apply: When mapping alarm points using SWIFT Wireless devices as inputs there is a limit of 8 ACM-30s per
node. If no SWIFT Wireless devices are being used as inputs, there is a limit of 32 ACM-30s per node that can be mapped to alarm points.

3.4.3 Audio Settings

Piezo: Can be set for Events and Touch Screen Beep. It is defaulted with both settings enabled.

NOTE: The Piezo disable is not supervised when the FACP is in alarm and is not an approved method of acknowledging or silencing events on
the FACP.

Programming Programming Features Accessed Through VeriFire Tools

3.4.4 Power Management Mode

The power management mode will conserve power consumption. In this mode, the number of LEDs that can be turned ON for a particular
loop will be limited. A maximum of 30 input device (monitor modules and detectors) LEDs will be allowed ON at a time. No output module
LEDs will turn ON. When the limit of 30 LEDs is reached, every time a new LED is turned ON, the oldest LED activation will turn OFF and
will poll in red rather than the usual green. Default: OFF

3.4.5 Local Mode

The SLM-318 is capable of running in Local Mode if it has not received communication from the core board for one minute. A user can cre-
ate a Local Mode zone and map both inputs and outputs to this zone. While the SLM-318 is in Local Mode, if any of the inputs placed in the
local mode zone activate, the SLM-318 will turn ON all of the outputs mapped to the same zone.
Any general zone can be used to create a local mode zone. Map inputs and outputs to the same “local mode zone” and ensure that “local
mode participation” is checked for each input and output mapped to that zone. When configured this way, any output mapped to this zone
will turn ON when the input in the same zone is activated.

3.4.6 Holiday and Weekly Occupancy Scheduling

Holiday Menu The Holiday settings allow a user to program up to 15 holidays which are used with the occupancy schedule to determine
holiday occupancy hours.
Weekly Occupancy Schedule: The Weekly Occupancy Schedule allows for up to six different occupancy schedules to be programmed.
Choose between schedules 1 - 6. A value of zero indicates no schedule.

3.4.7 Reminder Settings

Fire Alarm Reminder Choose to set Fire Alarm Reminder 0 OFF Set from 1-24 hours Default value is 24

3.4.8 Panel Timers Settings

Verify Time: Set the Alarm Verification timer. Choose a value of 0-240 (seconds), which will delay initiating devices set for Alarm Verifica-
tion from signaling for the amount of time entered. If a second alarm occurs while the alarm verification timer is counting, the timer will stop
and the alarm will signal immediately. Default: 30

NOTE: If this value exceeds 60 seconds, AHJ approval is required.

Alarm Verification Maximum Count: Enter a value from 0-20 for a maximum verification count threshold value that applies to detectors
set to participate in Alarm Verification. A value of zero produces no verification trouble. When the counter exceeds the threshold value
entered, a trouble is generated to the panel. Default: 4
AC Fail Delay: Set the timing for the time delay from AC failure to when the trouble is reported. Choose a value of 1-12 (hours), or select
0. A value of 0 will turn OFF the AC Fail delay.
• The on-board trouble relay (TB2 on the N16) will activate
• CGW-MBs are notified immediately of AC failure by the panel, regardless of the panel’s delay setting. Once the CGW-MB receives
notification, it operates according to its own programmed AC Fail Delay reporting schedule.
• Power LED is NOT delayed and will turn off immediately if all installed PMB supplies lose power.
• Delay timer starts the countdown when the first PMB goes into AC Fail, will not reset if additional PMB’s also go into AC Failure.
Signal Silence Inhibit Time: Enter a value from 0 (disabled) to 5 minutes. This software timer disables the SIGNAL SILENCE function for
the time entered when a fire alarm occurs. The timer starts at the first alarm only; it does not restart with each new alarm. Default: 0
Automatic Silence time: Enter a value from 0 (disabled) to 20 minutes. This global software timer functions like pressing the SIGNAL
SILENCE key. For example, if a value of 10 is entered, the control panel will silence all active outputs programmed as silenceable after ten
minutes. When Auto Silence activates, special function zone ZF40 will activate and will remain active until a system reset, alarm resound, or
drill is initiated. Default: 0
Verify=Pre-Alarm Check the box to enable Verify=Pre-Alarm. Default unchecked.

Default: NO
The control panel will automatically perform a detector initialization routine when a detector is added/changed in programming or if the
detector was removed for more than 15 seconds. This can take approximately 2.5 minutes. During this time, the detector does not perform
fire protection functions. When in this mode, the LEDs of the detectors will be on a steady green (for FlashScan) or red (for CLIP). Make
sure the detector is free of residual smoke during initialization and do not test the detector until the initialization is complete.
Replacing a detector with a different type of detector: When replacing a detector with a different type of detector, the control panel must

Flow Fault Delay: Set the amount of time before the panel indicates the Flow Fault. Range 0-255 seconds
DEFAULT: 200s
NOTE: Specific nodes can be excluded from having the ability to initiate a resound on the local fire panel. This option is programmable via
VeriFire Tools.
Reference Detector Address: Set a detector for to be used as a reference for air flow for other FAAST detectors. All 5 detectors of each
FAAST device using this detector as a reference must be set with the same reference detector address, have the same Threshold value (set via
PipeIQ) and must be on the same loop as the reference detector. Range: 0, 1-159
DEFAULT: 0 (No reference detector programmed)
Zone Map: Up to 10 zones available. During initial programming, the primary zone (position 1) displayed is associated with the loop the
device is installed on. For example, the device’s default programming set the primary zone as Z003, indicating that the device is installed on
Loop 3. Certain zone map positions are used for specific functions.
• Position 1 - Use to link zone label to detector and for group zone disable.
• Position 3 - Fire/CO detector only: Activates when the photo element of the Fire/CO detector activates.
• Position 4 - Fire/CO and PHOTO/CO detectors only: Activates when the CO element of the Fire/CO detector activates. (Map the
zone in this location to one of the Aux Controls of the intelligent sounder bases in order to play the Temp-4 tone for CO Alarms.)
• Position 5 - Fire/CO, PHOTO/CO and CO detectors only: Activates when the Fire/CO detector reports a CO Pre-Alarm.
• Position 9 - Used to activate sounder/relay bases of FlashScan detectors.
When mapped to the same zone as Position 10, the sounder or relay base will activate when the detector goes into prealarm (Action).
When mapped to a general or logic zone and this zone activates, the panel is searched for any detector with the same zone mapped in
its 9th position. The sounder base of any FlashScan detector that matches the search will activate. Continuous tone only. Position 9 is
not typically used with intelligent sounder bases.
Position 10 - Used for detectors set to Prealarm, Action. This zone will activate when the detector reaches its Prealarm threshold; no
other zones in this detector’s zone map will activate.
Sensitivity: The N16 Control panel provides 9 levels of Prealarm and Alarm in percent per foot obscuration with the following 3 exceptions:
• for heat detectors, the settings are in degrees Centigrade.
• for beam detectors, there are only 6 levels of Alarm. Prealarm is not an option for beam detectors in CLIP mode.
• for Intelliquad FSC-851 detectors, there are only six levels of Alarm and Prealarm for FlashScan mode, The sixth level is a fixed
135oF and it is not available in CLIP mode.
Alarm Sensitivity Values range from one to nine; one represents the most sensitive level, nine the least sensitive.
Prealarm Sensitivity: 3.4.14 values range from zero to nine; Zero indicates no prealarm, a value of one can be a self-optimizing setting where the
control panel selects a suitable prealarm level for the detector. Values one or two through nine represent decreasing sensitivity, with nine being the least
sensitive. Sounder Base Setup

3.4.19 Zones
The following is a list of available zone types for CBE (Control-By-Event) and Zone Map programming when programming devices.

Zone Type Description/Function

General Zone A general zone is used to link input and output devices. When an input device activates, any general zone in its zone map will be
active and any output device that has an active general zone in its map will be active. General zones can be used as arguments in
logic equations.
Zone Z000 is a general alarm zone: those points listing Z000 in their zone map participate in a general alarm.
The panel will support up to 2000 general zones, designated as Z0 through Z2000. General zones can be used in CCBE
applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Logic Zone A logic zone consists of a logic equation. Whenever the logic equation becomes true, all output points mapped to the logic zone will
activate.
The panel will support up to 2000 logic zones, designated as ZL1 through ZL2000. Logic zones can be used in CCBE applications
when a node number is entered before the zone number.

Table 5 Zone Types

3.4.20 Special Function Zones

Special
Function Description
Zone
ZF1 (Trouble less AC) An output programmed to turn on/off if a System Trouble (other than an AC power loss) occurs
ZF2 (AC Trouble) An output programmed to turn on/off if an AC power loss or a brownout condition occurs
ZF3 (Security) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Security input activates
ZF4 (Supervisory) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Supervisory input activates
ZF5 (Alternate Sensitivity Activation) An input programmed to switch from the active detector alarm sensitivities to the alternate alarm
sensitivities when a non-fire point with ZF5 in its CBE activates
ZF9 (ALERT, ACTION) An output programmed to turn on/off if a PreAlarm is active
ZF10 Any detector or module programmed for alarm verification will activate this zone
ZF11 When the Drill touchpoint is activated or Drill Signal is performed, ZF11 will become active. ZF11 will return to normal after a 5 second
delay
ZF12 When the Acknowledge touchpoint is tapped, or a Block Acknowledge or Event Acknowledge is performed, ZF12 will become active.
After a five-second delay, ZF12 will return to normal
ZF13 When a signal silence is performed, ZF13 will activate. After a five-second delay, ZF13 will return to normal.
ZF14 When the System Reset touchpoint is tapped or a System Reset is performed, ZF14 will become active. After a ten second delay, ZF14
will return to normal.
ZF15 When there are disabled events present in the system, ZF15 will be set to active. When all disabled events have cleared, the state of
ZF15 will return to normal.
ZF16 (Drill Zone When a Drill Signal is performed on the FACP, ZF16 will be set to active. ZF16 will return to normal following a system reset
ZF18 (CO Alarm) When a CO Alarm is present, ZF18 will activate
ZF19 (CO Pre-Alarm) When a CO Pre-Alarm is present, ZF19 will activate
ZF40 (Auto Silence Activation) ZF40 will activate when the Auto Silence Timer has expired and silenceable outputs on the FACP have been
silenced. ZF40 will remain active until a System Reset, Resound, or Drill is performed*

Table 6 Special Function Zones

* Auto Silence is only applicable for Fire Alarm activations

3.4.21 Trouble Zone Programming

On the N16, Trouble Zones have been replaced with Logic Zones. A logic equation using the logic function TBL will monitor the arguments
you place in that equation for trouble conditions. Place points of either a detector, module, or a trouble code into the equation. When a detec-
tor or module is in trouble or the system trouble is active the TBL operand will go into an active state, activating the logic equation. For sys-
tem troubles you do not have to use the TBL operand you can use the System TBL point directly to activate the logic equation when the
trouble is active.
Detector Example:
OR(TBL(L1D1)) will activate when the lo12/20/2022cal loop 1 detector 1 goes into trouble and not when it activates.
OR(TBL(N1L1D1)) will activate when node 1 loop 1 detector 1 goes into trouble and not when it activates.

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 67

Programming Programming Features Accessed Through VeriFire Tools

Module Example:
OR(TBL(L1M1)) will activate when local loop 1 module 1 goes into trouble and not when it activates.
OR(TBL(N1L1M1)) will activate when node 1 loop 1 module 1 goes into trouble and not when it activates.
System Trouble Example:
OR(TBL(T1)) will activate when local system trouble 1 is active.
OR(TBL(N1T1)) will activate when node 1 system trouble 1 is active.
OR(T1) will activate when local system trouble 1 is active.
OR(N1T1) will activate when node 1 system trouble 1 is active.

3.4.22 Logic Zone Programming

Logic Zones can be used to define complex relationships between inputs and output devices via CBE programming. Equations are built
using arguments and logic functions. Refer to the rules below for additional information:
Rules to building Logic/Trouble Equations:
1. Equations will always begin with a logic function. The function set is listed below.
2. Equations will be a maximum of 80 characters long, including parentheses and commas.
3. Logic and Trouble Equations can have a maximum of 10 logic functions unless a time delay function is used: a time delay function must be the only
function in its equation.
4. Equations are evaluated after all other devices have been evaluated.
5. One logic equation can be used as an argument in another logic equation, or one trouble equation can be used in another trouble equation, only if the
equation used has previously been evaluated; that is, only zones with a lower number than the zone currently being edited can be used as arguments.
6. A logic function can have a maximum of 20 arguments (inclusive start and stop address).
7. Maximum for the delay timer is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds ([Link]).
Equations are entered using Point Programming for logic or trouble zones. Refer to these sections in this manual for instruction. The panel will check for
errors after the user has entered the complete equation. Possible errors are too many or too few parentheses, too many or too few arguments inside the
parentheses, unknown function and unknown device type.
Equations are made up of two basic components: functions (either logic or time delay) and arguments.

Table 3.1
Arguments:
LxxD1 - LxxD159 detectors loop xx (159 per loop)
LxxM1 - LxxM159 modules loop xx (159 per loop)
(Nxxx)Z0 - (Nxxx)Z999* general zones (2000)
ZF1 - ZF7, ZF9 - ZF22, ZF36 - ZF40 special zones (27)
T0 - T510 system troubles (trouble equations only) (511)
(Nxxx)ZL1 - (Nxxx)ZL1000 logic zones (2000)
xx = loop number (01 through 10)
(Nxxx) = Node number, necessary for CCBE programming. The node number identifies what node the panel will watch for a particular zone activation.

edge”, “Silence” and “Reset” touch points. The date and time are also displayed in the Header Bar. It provides system status as well as high-
est priority unacknowledged events.

4.4.3 Configurable Alert Bar

The “Alert Bar” is always present and located along the side of the screen. The Alert Bar event categories can be configured though VeriFire
Tools and can be configured for a minimum of four events up to a maximum of ten events. It shows color coded events, such as “Fire
Alarm”, “CO Alarm”, “Supervisory” activation, “Trouble” activation, “Drill” activation” along with event counts and whether the outputs
have been silenced.

4.4.4 Instructional Text

The Instructional Text Area is used to provide user instruction in an off-normal condition. The instructional Text can be enabled and disabled
and is fully configurable through VeriFire Tools.

4.4.5 Events List

The “Events List” (Main Display Area) shows all events and their status. It indicates if events have been acknowledged or silenced and is
color coded as well as scrollable.

4.4.6 Alarm Verification

Alarm Verification delays a device from going into alarm to reduce false alarms. The user programs which devices participate in alarm veri-
fication, sets a panel-wide alarm verification time, alarm confirmation time, maximum verification count and a verification pre-alarm setting.
If a device reaches or exceeds the alarm threshold, it will delay going into alarm by the programmed amount of alarm verification time. If
during this time, a second device on the same loop reaches its alarm threshold, the first device will immediately go into alarm.

4.4.7 Pre-Signal/Alarm Delay

The panel includes an option to program a presignal/alarm delay time between one and three minutes (resolution in seconds). The default is
3 minutes. The local alarm delay setting can be turned on or off. Automatic detection devices and output devices include a setting
designating them to participate in local alarm delay. Devices can not be programmed for both local alarm delay and alarm verification. ,
Note: when using the Alarm Delay feature, only local evacuation outputs configured to participate in the Alarm Delay feature will be
delayed upon receipt of initial alarm. Off-premises signaling will IMMEDIATELY be transmitted upon initial alarm receipt.

 Section 6: Testing/Maintenance
When installation and programming is finished, conduct a complete operational test on the entire installation to verify compliance with
applicable NFPA standards. Testing should be conducted by a factory-trained fire alarm technician in the presence of a representative of the
Authority Having Jurisdiction and the owner’s representative. Follow procedures outlined in NFPA Standard 72’s section on Inspection,
Testing and Maintenance.

NOTE: Use 0 (zero) ohm impedance when testing wire-to-wire faults

CAUTION: ZONE DISABLE/ENABLE

WHEN A ZONE IS DISABLED, ANY INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES MAPPED TO THE ZONE ARE DISABLED IF THE ZONE
IS THE POINT’S PRIMARY ZONE. (THE PRIMARY ZONE IS THE ZONE IN THE FIRST POSITION OF THE ZONE
MAP.)WHEN A DISABLED OUTPUT IS ENABLED, IT WILL BE AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS PRE-EXISTING IN THE
SYSTEM. WHEN A CONDITION EXISTS IN THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD NORMALLY TURN THE OUTPUT ON, THE
OUTPUT WILL TURN ON WHEN IT IS ENABLED.
Disable/Enable Points or Zones: Points or zones can be disabled for testing or maintenance via the Point Information Menu in VeriFire
Tools. Refer to VeriFire Tools help files for more information.
Disable/Enable: Choose enable or disable to either enable or disable an installed, programmed point or enable a previously disabled point.
Group Zone Disable: Disabling a general zone will disable all devices with that zone programmed in the first zone map position.
When a point associated with a FAAST device is disabled, all 5 detector addresses programmed for the device will be disabled.

6.1 Periodic Testing and Service

Periodic testing and servicing of the control panel, all initiating and notification devices and any other associated equipment is essential to
ensure proper and reliable operation. Test and service the control panel according to the schedules and procedures outlined in the following
documents:
• NFPA Standard 72’s section on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance.
• Service manuals and instructions for the peripheral devices installed in the system. Correct any trouble condition or malfunction
immediately.
• Drill: Use the Drill Participation Setting to activate all silenceable outputs and NACs. Press and hold the Drill key for 2 seconds. During
a drill the panel will turn on all silenceable NACs and sends a Manual Evacuate message to the History Buffer and installed printers.
• Lamp Test: Use the Lamp Test function to test the control panel LEDs and panel sounder. Activated through the GUI. The panel will
light all control panel LEDs, turn on the panel sounder and light all segments of the Graphic Display.

6.2 Operational Checks

Before proceeding: a) notify the fire department and the central alarm receiving station if transmitting alarm conditions; b) notify facility
personnel of the test so that alarm sounding devices are disregarded during the test period; and c) when necessary, disable activation of alarm
notification appliances and speakers to prevent their sounding.
• Check that the green POWER LED is illuminated.
• Check that the off normal LED is off, that there are no active events on the system and that there are no active alert bar indicators.
• Tap the LAMP TEST touchpoint to turn on all pixels on the screen. This will illuminate the entire screen as well as the AC Power and Off
Normal LED for approximately four seconds. During this time a tone will sound. A black spot on the screen will indicate that a pixel is
out. Verify that all LEDs and all Graphic Display segments work.
• Activate an Initiating Device Circuit using an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the SLC and check that all
programmed active notification appliances function. Reset the alarm initiating device, the control panel and any other associated
equipment. In voice alarm applications, confirm that the proper tone(s) and/or messages sound during alarm conditions. Select the
paging function and confirm that the message can be heard in the affected fire zones. Repeat the above step with each Initiating Device
Circuit and each addressable device.
• On systems equipped with a fire fighter’s telephone circuit, make a call from a telephone circuit and confirm a ring tone. Answer the
call and confirm communication with the incoming caller. End the call and repeat for each telephone circuit in the system.
• Remove AC power, activate an Initiating Device Circuit through an alarm initiating device or an addressable initiating device on the
SLC and check that programmed active notification appliances sound and alarm indicators illuminate. Measure the battery voltage with
notification appliances active. Replace any battery with a terminal voltage less than 21.6 VDC and reapply AC Power.
NOTE: The battery test requires fully charged batteries. If batteries are new or discharged due to a recent power outage, allow the batteries to
charge for 48 hours before testing.

• Return all circuits to their pretest condition.

• Check that the off normal LED is off and the green POWER LED is on.
• Notify fire, central station and/or building personnel when you finish testing the system.

6.3 Battery Checks and Maintenance

Maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries used in the system do not require the addition of water or electrolyte. These batteries are charged
and maintained in a fully charged state by the main power supply’s charger during normal system operation. A discharged battery typically
reaches the voltage of 27.6 VDC within 48 hours; the charge rate depends on the battery size (1 amp for 7-26AH, 2 amps for 33-55AH,
4.25A for 100AH).
Sealed lead-acid batteries must be replaced within at most 5 years from their date of manufacture. Minimal replacement battery capacity
appears on the control panel marking label. Immediately replace a leaking or damaged battery. Replacement batteries are available from the
manufacturer.

WARNING: SULFURIC ACID

! BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO THE SKIN AND EYES AND DAMAGE
TO FABRICS.
If a battery leaks and contact is made with the Sulfuric Acid, immediately flush skin and/or eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Water and
household baking soda provides a good neutralizing solution for Sulfuric Acid.
• If Sulfuric Acid gets into eyes, seek immediate medical attention.
• Ensure proper handling of the battery to prevent short circuits.
• Take care to avoid accidental shorting of the leads from uninsulated work benches and items such as tools, bracelets, rings and coins.

WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

! SHORTING THE BATTERY LEADS CAN DAMAGE THE BATTERY, THE EQUIPMENT AND COULD CAUSE INJURY TO
PERSONNEL.

A.4 Wire Requirements

Each type of circuit within the Fire Alarm Control System requires use of a specific wire type to ensure proper circuit operation. The wire
gauge of a particular circuit depends on the length of that circuit and the current traveling through it. Use the table below to determine the
specific wiring requirements for each circuit.
Compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Department of Communication regulations on electrical
energy radiation requires the following: Use twisted-pair shielded wire for any non-SLC-loop wiring entering or exiting the cabinet that is
not enclosed in conduit. Use twisted-pair unshielded wiring for SLC-loop wiring.

NOTE: If running an SLC in conduit with Notification Appliance Circuits, you can reduce problems by exclusively using electronic sounders
(such as the MA/SS-24 Series) instead of more electronically noisy notification appliances (such as electromechanical bells or horns).

 Appendix B: Intelligent Sensing Applications
B.1 Intelligent Sensing Overview
Intelligent Sensing is a set of software algorithms that provide the N16 with industry-leading smoke detection capability. The user can pro-
gram Intelligent Sensing functions on a global or on a per-detector basis.

Topic Page

Intelligent Sensing features – Descriptions of Intelligent Sensing features, such as Drift Compensation, Sensitivity Adjust,
programmable on a per-detector basis.
Pre-Alarm – Alert and Action settings, programming (global settings).

Detector Sensitivity Settings – Pre-Alarm and Alarm sensitivity settings for photo, ion, laser and multi-sensor detectors programmable
on a per-detector basis.
Detector Maintenance Features – Instructions for viewing and printing detector maintenance information.

B.2 Intelligent Sensing Features

Intelligent Sensing features include the following:
• Drift Compensation and Smoothing
• Maintenance Warnings - Three Levels
• Self-optimizing Pre-Alarm
• Detector Sensitivity
• Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing
B.2.1 Drift Compensation and Smoothing
Drift compensation uses algorithms (U.S. patent pending) that identify and compensate for long-term changes in the analog readings from
each smoke detector. (Typically, dirt and dust accumulation inside the smoke chamber causes long-term changes in detector readings.) Drift
compensation does the following:
• Allows a detector to retain its original ability to detect actual smoke and resist false alarms, even as dirt and dust accumulates.
• Reduces maintenance requirements by allowing the control panel to automatically perform the periodic sensitivity measurements
required by NFPA Standard 72.
The software also provides smoothing filters to remove transient noise signals, usually caused by electrical interference. Different smoothing
algorithms are used, depending on the sensitivity selection of each detector. Refer toTable B.2, “Detector Sensitivity Settings,” on page 94
for more information on detector sensitivity levels.

B.2.2 Maintenance Warnings – Three Levels

The software determines when the drift compensation for a detector reaches an unacceptable level that can compromise detector perfor-
mance. When a detector reaches an unacceptable level, the control panel indicates a maintenance warning. The table below summarizes the
three levels of Intelligent Sensing maintenance warnings:

B.2.3 Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm

You can set each detector, except FST-851/751 (Heat), for Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm (PA=1). In this Self-Optimizing mode,
the software measures the normal peak analog readings and sets the Pre-Alarm level just above these normal peaks. This
allows extremely sensitive Pre-Alarm capability with reasonable protection against non-fire signals. The figure below shows a
graphical representation of the Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm level:

B.2.4 Detector Sensitivity

The control panel provides nine Sensitivity Levels for alarm detection and pre-alarm as follows:
• Alarm Sensitivity Levels You can select the sensitivity of a detector from 1-9 (1=highest sensitivity; 9=lowest sensitivity).

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 91

Intelligent Sensing Applications Pre-Alarm

• Pre-Alarm Sensitivity Levels You can select one of nine levels from 1 to 9 (0=no Pre-Alarm, 1=self-optimizing, 2=highest
sensitivity, 9=lowest sensitivity). You can set Pre-Alarm operation to Action (latching) or Alert (non-latching) and to activate Special
Zones.
You can set the sensitivity levels as fixed or programmed for day and night operation.

B.2.5 Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing

Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing is the ability of a smoke detector to consider readings from nearby detectors in making alarm or
pre-alarm decisions. Each detector can include up to two other detectors in its decision. Without statistical sacrifice in the ability to resist
false alarms, Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing allows a detector to increase its sensitivity to actual smoke by a factor of almost 2 to 1. Ion,
photo and laser detector types can participate. Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing also allows the combination of ionization with photoelec-
tric technology in reaching an alarm decision. The figure below shows a graph representing Cooperative Multi-Detector Sensing:

B.3 Pre-Alarm
B.3.1 Definition
The Pre-Alarm function is a programmable option which determines the system’s response to real-time detector sensing values
above the programmed setting. Use the Pre-Alarm function to get an early warning of incipient or potential fire conditions.
There are two levels of Pre-Alarm:
• Alert (Refer to “Alert Level” below)
• Action (Refer to “Action Level” below)
Alert and Action Pre-Alarm settings are set with point programming. Unique Pre-Alarm sensitivity levels (PA) for individual
detectors are listed in Appendix B.4, “Detector Sensitivity Settings”, on page 93.

92 N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022

Detector Sensitivity Settings Intelligent Sensing Applications

The LEDs on detectors polled in FlashScan mode will light steady green when in pre-alarm.

B.3.2 Alert Level

Alert Functions
The control panel software, in addition to checking for alarm levels, checks for Pre-Alarm thresholds for each addressable,
intelligent smoke detector programmed for Pre-Alarm. If a detector’s real-time sensing level exceeds the programmed Alert
threshold, the control panel indicates a Pre-Alarm condition for the detector. The control panel does the following functions
when a detector reaches pre-alarm level:
• The Pre-Alarm message is sent to the History buffer and to installed printers. The message is sent (and time stamped) at
the time that it first occurred. This historical data could provide valuable information about the progress of a fire.
• The PRE-ALARM LED flashes and the panel sounder pulses until acknowledged.
• Zone Z000 (general alarm) or any other zone and the System Trouble and System Alarm relays do not activate.
• The Pre-Alarm indication for this detector will restore automatically to normal if its obscuration reading drops below
pre-alarm level.
• A subsequent alarm for this detector also clears the Pre-Alarm indication.

B.3.3 Action Level

Action Functions
If you program a detector for Action Pre-Alarm and the detector reaches a level that exceeds the programmed Pre-Alarm level,
the control panel indicates an Action condition. The control panel does the following functions when a detector reaches the
programmed pre-alarm level:
• The Action message is sent to the History buffer and installed printers. The message is sent (and time stamped) only at
the time that it first occurred. This historical data could provide valuable information about the progress of a fire.
• The PRE-ALARM LED and panel sounder pulse until acknowledged.
• The zone that is in the tenth position of the zone map for this detector activates. The tenth zone is the right-most entry
on line two of the detector zone map list in the Point Programming screen. The tenth zone can be used to control
functions of a detector or group of detectors once the pre-alarm level is reached. Tenth zone activations also allow ACS
annunciation by a detector or group of detectors in Action Pre-Alarm condition.
• Zone Z000 (general alarm) or any other zone and the System Trouble and System Alarm relays do not activate.
• The Pre-Alarm condition and the zone programmed will latch until system reset, even if the obscuration reading drops
below the pre-alarm level.
• A subsequent alarm condition for this detector clears the Action indication from the LCD display alarm list.

B.4 Detector Sensitivity Settings

How to Select Pre-Alarm and Alarm Sensitivity
Each detector provides a host of selectable intelligent options. The control panel provides nine levels of Pre-Alarm (PA:1–
PA:9) and Alarm (AL:1–AL:9) in percent per foot obscuration:
• PA:0 no Pre-Alarm selection.
• PA:1 the self-optimizing setting where the control panel selects a suitable Pre-Alarm level for a detector.
• PA:2–PA:9 the detector Pre-Alarm sensitivity level - with PA:2 the most sensitive and PA:9 the least sensitive.
• AL:1–AL:9 the detector Alarm sensitivity level - with AL:1 the most sensitive and AL:9 the least sensitive.

 Appendix C: Special Zone Outputs
C.1 Service Mode
The N16 can be accessed remotely for a remote communication session- requires FACP to be in service mode. Technician required on site

C.2 Presignal
Purpose
Presignal is a feature that initially causes alarm signals to only sound in specific areas, monitored by qualified persons. This allows delay of
the alarm up to 180 seconds after the start of alarm processing. The control panel Presignal feature provides two selections:
• A Presignal Delay Timer (1:00 to 3:00 minutes) that delays activation of all outputs with a CBE that includes Special Zone ZF0.
An illustration of Presignal timing.
Presignal Delay Timer (60-180 s)

PAS (15 s)

If PAS=Y, alarm activates

outputs if not acknowledged
Initial alarm Alarm activates outputs, if the
annunciation control panel is not reset

Figure C.1 Presignal Time

The control panel delays activation of outputs containing ZF0 in their zone maps for all alarm initiating devices that contain ZF0 in their
CBE list. A subsequent alarm will abort the Presignal Delay Timer and execute CBE lists.
Notes on using ZF0
• The Presignal Delay timer countdown can be stopped by pressing the SYSTEM RESET key before the timer expires.
• Program zone ZF0 to participating inputs and outputs.
Restrictions on using ZF0
• Do not include ZF0 in the CBE list for any monitor module that connects to a device other than an automatic fire detector.

C.2.1 Selecting Presignal Outputs

Presignal
The Presignal Delay Timer can be set to a value between 60 and 180 seconds. A Presignal Delay Timer does not apply to the following:
• System Alarm relay
• TM-4 polarity reversal alarm output
• TM-4 municipal box output
• CGW-MB
• CLSS-Gateway
• HON-CGW-DACT

C.3 Drill
What is Drill?
Drill is a feature that customizes drill activations, allowing only specific devices on the N16 to activate when a local or network Drill is per-
formed. Each output must be checked to participate in drill in VeriFire Tools. These devices require the drill zone (Special Function Zone 11)
to be added to the zone mapping of each point. ZF11 When the drill touchpoint is tapped or drill is performed, ZF11 will go active. ZF11 will
go to normal after a 5 second delay.

 Appendix D: CBE Zones and Equations
CBE (Control-By-Event) is a software function that provides a means to program a variety of output responses based on various initiating
events. The control panel operates CBE through lists of zones. A zone becomes listed when it is added to a point’s zone map through point
programming.
• Each input point (detector, monitor module) can list up to ten zones. Allowable zone types are general zone, releasing zone and
special zone.
• Each output point (control module) can list up to ten zones. Allowable zone types are general zone, logic zone, releasing zone,
special zone and trouble zone.
• Output points can list zone Z000 (general alarm). Non-Alarm or Supervisory points do not activate zone Z000 (general alarm).
Networked CBE, or CCBE (Cooperative Control-By-Event), provides CBE initiating-event/output-response relationships over the network
through general, logic and/or trouble zones. One of these zones, programmed into the zone maps of points on this panel and points on other
nodes, will create network cause-and-effect relationships based on the type and content of the zone.

D.1 Zones
There are four types of zones that may be listed to a point for CBE purposes.
Zone Type Description/Function

General Zone A general zone is used to link input and output devices. When an input device activates, any general zone in its zone map will be
active and any output device that has an active general zone in its map will be active. General zones can be used as arguments
in logic equations.
Zone Z000 is a general alarm zone: those points listing Z000 in their zone map participate in a general alarm.
The panel will support up to 1000 general zones, designated as Z0 through Z999. General zones can be used in CCBE
applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.

Logic Zone A logic zone consists of a logic equation. Whenever the logic equation becomes true, all output points mapped to the logic zone
will activate.
The panel will support up to 1000 logic zones, designated as ZL1 through ZL1000. Logic zones can be used in CCBE
applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.

Trouble Zone A trouble zone consists of a trouble equation. Whenever the trouble equation becomes true, all output points mapped to the
trouble zone will activate.
The panel will support up to one hundred trouble zones, designated as ZT001 through ZT100. Trouble zones can be used in
CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
NOTE: Trouble zones can be used only in CCBE applications between NFS2-3030, NFS-3030 and NFS-640 FACPs. Trouble zones will not
activate with other combinations.

Releasing Zone A releasing zone is used to control a releasing operation.

The panel will support up to ten releasing zones, designated as ZR00 through ZR09.

Zones CBE Zones and Equations

Special Zone ZF0 An output participates in Presignal with this special zone in its zone map.

ZF1 (Trouble less AC) An output programmed to turn on/off if a system trouble - other than an AC power loss - occurs.

ZF2 (AC Trouble) An output programmed to turn on/off if an AC power loss or a brownout condition occurs.

ZF3 (Security) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Security input activates.

ZF4 (Supervisory) An output programmed to turn on/off if a Supervisory input activates.

ZF5 Alternate Sensitivity An input programmed to switch from the active detector alarm sensitivities to the alternate alarm
Activation sensitivities when a non-fire point with ZF5 in its CBE activates.

ZF6 Plant Isolate special zone for Australian Mode. When the Plant Isolate button is pressed, ZF6 will
toggle between Normal and Active.

ZF7 Drill for Australian Mode. In the event of a drill activation, ZF7 will activate and will remain active until
a reset is performed on the fire panel.

ZF9 An output programmed to turn on/off if a PreAlarm is active (ALERT, ACTION).

ZF10 Any detector or module in alarm verification will activate this zone.

ZF11 When the drill (alarm signal for Canadian applications) key is pushed or drill/alarm signal is
performed, ZF11 will go active. ZF11 will go to normal after a 5 second delay.

ZF12 When the acknowledge key is pushed, or a block or event acknowledge is performed, ZF12 will go
active. After a five-second delay, ZF12 will go to normal.

ZF13 When the signal silence key is pushed or a signal silence is performed, ZF13 will go active. After a
five-second delay, ZF13 will go to normal.

ZF14 When the system reset key is pushed or a system reset is performed, ZF14 will go active. After a ten-
second delay, ZF14 will go to normal.

ZF15 When there are disabled events present in the system, ZF15 will be set to active. When all disabled
events have cleared, the state of ZF15 will go to normal.

ZF16 Drill Zone (Alarm Signal Zone for Canadian applications). This zone used when Drill/Alarm Signal
Mode is set to Custom. When a drill/alarm signal is performed on the fire panel, ZF16 will be set to
active. ZF16 will return to normal following a system reset.

ZF17 Signal Silence for Australian Mode operations. When a signal silence is performed, ZF17 will go
active and will remain active until a System Reset is performed. The special zone will only function
when Australian Mode is enabled.

ZF18 CO Alarm. When a CO Alarm is present, ZF18 will activate.

ZF19 CO Pre-Alarm. When a CO Pre-Alarm is present, ZF19 will activate.

ZF20 When an mass notification alarm occurs on the fire panel, ZF20 will go active. If mass notification
events have priority over fire, network nodes MN mapped to the fire panel (via VeriFire Tools) will
suppress any active fire events. ZF20 will remain active until a system reset is performed and the MN
alarm is cleared

ZF21 When a mass notification supervisory event occurs, ZF21 will activate. ZF21 will remain active until
the MN Supervisory condition is cleared. If the supervisory is latched, a system reset will need to be
performed to clear the condition.

ZF22 When a mass notification trouble occurs on the fire panel, ZF22 will activate. ZF22 will remain active
until the MN trouble is cleared

ZF36 With DCC enabled: If the panel or an LCD-160 connected to the panel is in control of the network
(Control Active LED illuminated), ZF36 for the panel will activate. ZF36 will remain active until a
different node on the network is given control.
For Canadian Applications: If an LCD-160 is connected to the NFS2-3030 and DCC is enabled, local control
should be disabled.

ZF37 Automatic Alarm Signal Activation Timer. ZF37 will activate when the first (alert) stage of Two-Stage
notification has begun and will remain active until the duration of the first stage is complete (3 or 5
minute timer has expired) or canceled (signal silence or system reset performed).

ZF38 Second Stage. ZF38 will activate when the second stage (evacuation) of Two-Stage notification has
begun and will remain active until a signal silence or system reset is performed OR if a subsequent
fire alarm returns the panel to the First Stage.

ZF39* Automatic Alarm Signal Activation Canceled. ZF39 will activate when the first (alert) stage of the Two-
Stage notification has been canceled via an ACM series annunciator control point mapped to ZF39.
ZF39 will remain active till a signal silence or system reset is performed, a subsequent alarm restarts
the Two-Stage 3/Two-Stage 5 first (alert) stage timer, a drill/alarm signal is performed, or a device
programmed as an Evacuate Switch is activated.

ZF40 Auto Silence Activation. ZF40 will activate when the auto silence timer has expired and silenceable
outputs on the fire panel have been silenced as a result. ZF40 will remain active until a System Reset,
resound, or Drill (Alarm Signal for Canadian applications) is performed.

CBE Zones and Equations Equations

* Required for Two-Stage Notification Canadian Standalone Applications

D.2 Equations
Logic and Trouble Equations can define complex relationships between input and output devices.
The FACP supports up to 1000 Logic Equations, each designated with a Logic Zone number of ZL1 through ZL1000. It also supports up to
100 Trouble Zones, each designated with a Trouble Zone number of ZT001 through ZT100. Once created, these equations can be included in
input/output zone mapping.
1. Equations will always begin with a logic function. The function set is listed below.
2. Equations will be a maximum of 80 characters long, including parentheses and commas.
3. Logic and Trouble Equations can have a maximum of 10 logic functions unless a time delay function is used: a time delay function must
be the only function in its equation.
4. Equations are evaluated after all other devices have been evaluated.
5. One logic equation can be used as an argument in another logic equation, or one trouble equation can be used in another trouble
equation, only if the equation used has previously been evaluated; that is, only zones with a lower number than the zone currently being
edited can be used as arguments.
6. A logic function can have a maximum of 20 arguments (inclusive start and stop address).
7. Maximum for the delay timer is 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds ([Link]).
8. CO Monitor devices: A device with the type ID of “CO Monitor” should not be used in logic equations. To include a CO Monitor in a
logic equation, use zones mapped to the CO Monitor in the equation.
Equations are entered using Point Programming for logic or trouble zones. Refer to these sections in this manual for instruction. The panel
will check for errors after the user has entered the complete equation. Possible errors are too many or too few parentheses, too many or too
few arguments inside the parentheses, unknown function and unknown device type.
Equations are made up of two basic components: functions (either logic or time delay) and arguments.

D.3 Arguments
Arguments are discrete parts of a logic or time delay function used in a logic or trouble equation. They can consist of another function,
another equation, or any of the devices listed below.

LxxD1 - LxxD159 detectors loop xx (159 per loop)

LxxM1 - LxxM159* modules loop xx (159 per loop)
(Nxxx)Z0 - (Nxxx)Z999* general zones (1000)
ZF0 - ZF7, ZF9 - ZF22,ZF36 - ZF40 special zones (27)
T0 - T685 system troubles (trouble equations only) (686)
(Nxxx)ZT001 - (Nxxx)ZT100 trouble zones (100)
(Nxxx)ZL1 - (Nxxx)ZL1000 logic zones (1000)
xx = loop number (01 through 10)
(Nxxx) = Node number, necessary for CCBE programming. The node number identifies what node the
panel will watch for a particular zone activation.

Table D.2 Table of Arguments

* Modules programmed with a Type ID of CO Monitor should not be used in logic
equations. Zones mapped to the CO Monitor should be used if a CO Monitor is to
be included in a logic equation.

D.4 Logic Equations

Logic Functions
• The “AND” Operator
Requires that each argument be active.
Example: AND(Z02,Z05,L2D12)
All three arguments in the equation must be active for the logic zone to be activated.
• The “OR” Operator
Requires that any argument be active
Example: OR(Z02,Z05,L2D12)
If any one of the three arguments in the equation is active the logic zone will be activated.
• The “NOT” Operator
Inverts the state of the argument (activated to deactivated OR deactivated to activated).
Example: NOT(Z02)
The logic zone will remain activated until the argument activates.
If the argument activates the logic zone will deactivate.

100 N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022

Logic Equations CBE Zones and Equations

• The “ONLY1” Operator

Requires that only one argument be active.
Example: ONLY1(Z02,Z05,Z09)
If only one of the arguments activates the logic zone will be activated.
• The “ANYX” Operator
Requires that the amount of arguments specified by the number preceding the arguments be active.
Example: ANYX(2,Z02,Z05,Z09)
If any two or more of the arguments are in alarm the output point will be activated.
The X amount may be a value from 1 through 9.
• The “XZONE” Operator
Requires that any combination of two or more input devices programmed to a zone be active.

NOTE: Local General Zones only.

Example: XZONE(Z02)
If any combination of two or more initiating devices that have been mapped to this software zone come into alarm, then outputs mapped
to this zone will activate.
• The “RANGE” Operator
Each argument within the range must conform to the requirements of the governing function. The range limit is 20 consecutive
arguments.
Example: AND(RANGE(Z1,Z20))
Zone 1 through Zone 20 must all be active to activate the logic zone.
• The “DIS(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be disabled for the operator to go active.
• The “PRE(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be in prealarm for the operator to go active.
Example: AND(L1D1,PRE(L1D2))
The detector at address L1D1 must be active and the detector at L1D2 must be in prealarm for this equation to go active.
• The “SUP(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be in an active supervisory state for the operator to go active.
Example: OR(L1D1,SUP(L1M1))
The detector at address L1D1 must be active, or the module at L1M1 must be in an active supervisory state for the equation to go active.
• The “FIRE(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be in an active fire alarm state for the operator to go active.
Example: AND(L1D1,FIRE(L1M1),FIRE(L1M2))
The detector at address L1D1 must be active and the modules at L1M1 and L1M2 must be in an active fire alarm state for the equation
to go active.
• The “NON(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be in an active non-alarm state for the operator to go active.
Example: AND(L1D1,NON(L1M1))
The detector at address L1D1 must be active and the module at address L1M1 must be in an active non-fire alarm state for the equation
to go active.
• The “SEC(point argument)” Operator
Requires that the point argument be in an active security alarm state for the operator to go active.
Example: AND(L1M1,SEC(L1M2))
The module at address L1M1 must be active and the module at address L1M2 must be in an active security alarm state for the equation
to go active.
• The “AUTO(point argument)” Operator*
This operator will evaluate as “Active” if all of the SCS switches or specified switch group are in the “Auto” position. When the SCS-
8L/SCE-8L is disabled, the evaluation will be based on the switch position prior to the disable.
Examples:
The switch associated with switch group 16 on Annunciator 1 must be set as “Auto” for the equation to go active.
OR(AUTO(A1G16))
All the switches of Annunciator 1 must be set to “Auto” for the equation to go active.
OR(AUTO(A1))
• The “NORM(point argument)” Operator*
This operator will evaluate as “Active” if the entire SCS device or a specified switch group is in a normal state.
Examples:

N16 Instruction Manual P/N LS10239-000NF-E:B 12/20/2022 101

CBE Zones and Equations Logic Equations

Switch group 16 on Annunciator 1 must be in the “normal” (no trouble) state for the equation to go active.
OR(NORM(A1G16))
(All switches groups on) Annunciator 1 must be in the “normal” (no trouble) state for the equation to go active.
OR(NORM(A1)
• The “SCSDIS(point argument)” Operator*
For use with the SCS-8L only. This operator will evaluate as “Active” if the keyswitch on the specified SCS device is in the disabled
position.
Example:
If the keyswitch on annunciator 25 is disabled, this equation will go active.
OR(SCSDIS(A25))
* For use with local SCS applications
Time-based Functions
The panel supports three time-based functions: DEL, SDEL and TIM. Special rules apply to an equation containing a time-based function:
• Only one time-based function may be used in an equation.
• The time-based function must appear only once, as the first entry of the equation.
• It may not be nested within parentheses in the equation.
• Logic functions may be used in an equation that begins with a DEL or SDEL time-based function: however, they must appear within
parentheses following the time-based function.
Delay and duration times are in 24-hour format (HHMMSS); the allowable range is [Link] to [Link].
The “DEL” Function
Used for delayed operation.
Example: DEL([Link], [Link],AND(L1M1,L1M140))
• The first [Link] is the delay time, the second [Link] is the duration time. If the argument - AND(L1M1,L1M140) - in the
example above activates, the function becomes true after the argument has been active for the delay time and continues to be true for
the duration time as long as the argument stays active. If the argument goes inactive during the delay time or the duration time, the
function reverts to false and the timing would begin all over again if reactivated.
• If duration time of zero is entered (00.00.00), the equation will evaluate true when the delay time expires if the argument remains
active throughout the delay time period.
• If no duration or delay is specified, then the function will follow the input argument, indicating true while it is active and false when
it is inactive. DEL assumes a value of false on reset.
The “SDEL” Function
A latched version of the DEL function.
Example: SDEL([Link], [Link],L1M140)
• The first [Link] is the delay time, the second [Link] is the duration time. If the argument (L1M140 in the example above)
activates, the function becomes true after the delay time and will remain active for the duration even if the argument becomes
inactive during either the delay or duration time.
• If delay time of zero is entered (00.00.00), the equation will evaluate true as soon as the argument (L1M140) activates and will
remain that way for the specified duration, even if the argument becomes inactive during that time.
• If no duration or delay time is specified, then the argument will not deactivate until reset, even if the argument becomes inactive.
The “TIM” Operator
The TIM function is used to specify activation on specific days of the week or year.
Examples:
TIM(7-11-06) will evaluate as true for 24 hours starting at midnight ([Link]) on July 11, 2006.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,[Link],[Link]) will evaluate as true at 8:00 AM and remain true until 11:00 PM (23:00) for the list of
days supplied.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,[Link]) will evaluate as true at 8:00 AM and remain true until [Link] of the current day for the list of
days supplied.
TIM(TU,[Link],[Link]) will evaluate as true every Tuesday between 7:45 AM until 6:30 PM.
TIM(MO,TU,WE,TH,FR) will evaluate as true from Monday morning at 12:01 AM until Friday evening at [Link] PM.
Logic Equation Syntax Example
OR(AND(L1D1,L1D4),AND(L2D6,L2M3,NOT(L2M4)),ANYX(2,L1M13,L1M14,L1M15))
Equation begins with a logic function - OR
67 Characters (maximum of 80) - includes parentheses and commas.
5 Logic Functions (maximum of 10) - OR, AND, AND, NOT and ANYX.
8 Arguments (maximum of 20 per logic function) - L1D1,L1D4,L2D6,L2M3,L2M4…
The equation contains no spaces.
Evaluating an Equation
To evaluate an equation, start from the innermost part of the equation and work outwards. For this equation to evaluate TRUE and thus turn
on any output mapped to it, the following conditions must be met:

Trouble Equations CBE Zones and Equations

OR(AND(L1D1,L1D4),AND(L2D6,L2M3,NOT(L2M4)),ANYX(2,L1M13,L1M14,L1M15))

These These have Any TWO of

ON ON

for this part to be TRUE for this part to be TRUE for this part to be TRUE

When this is TRUE OR When this is TRUE OR When this is TRUE

Then all outputs programmed with this equation will be turned ON.

D.5 Trouble Equations

A trouble equation follows the same syntax rules as the logic equation. The system allows up to a hundred trouble equations, ZT001 through
ZT100. It differs from a logic equation in the following manner:
• Equations evaluate as true when the arguments go into trouble.
• Argument entries may consist of system trouble codes. Refer to Table F, “System Trouble Codes,” on page 106 for a listing of these
codes.
Examples:
AND(L1M149,L2M110) will evaluate as true when both arguments go into trouble.
OR(ZT049,ZT050) will evaluate as true when either argument goes into trouble.

 Appendix E: Detector Initialization
E.1 Overview
The control panel automatically performs a detector initialization routine when a detector is added or changed.
The detector initialization routine takes approximately 2.5 minutes. During this time, the detector being initialized does not perform fire pro-
tection functions. The LEDs of detectors polled in FlashScan mode will latch a steady green while initializing and return to blinking green
when initialization is over.
While initializing a detector, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the detector is free of residual smoke during detector initialization.
• Do not test a detector during detector initialization.

NOTE: The control panel only performs detector initialization if it senses that a detector was removed for at least 15
seconds.

WARNING: DETECTOR REPLACEMENT

! IF ANY DETECTOR IS REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DETECTOR (FOR EXAMPLE, A LASER DETECTOR IS
REPLACED WITH A PHOTOELECTRIC DETECTOR), THE CONTROL PANEL MUST BE PROGRAMMED IMMEDIATELY
WITH THE NEW DETECTOR TYPE CODE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE INCORRECT CONTROL PANEL
OPERATION, INCLUDING FALSE ALARMS.

E.2 To Replace a Detector with a Different Type of Detector

If one type of detector is replaced with a different type of detector, the control panel must immediately be programmed for the new detector
type. To replace a detector, follow these steps:

Step Action

1 Physically remove the old detector.

2 In VeriFire Tools, delete the old detector.

3 Physically install the new detector.

4 Preform an Autoprogram on the panel touch screen.

5 In VeriFire Tools customize the label, zoning, etc for the new detector.

E.3 Self Test Detectors

The Self Test Series of detectors introduce small amounts of smoke and heat into the chamber to test both sensors. They automatically test if
the photo sensor smoke entry points are blocked by the dust cover and they verify that the technician has completed the visual inspection
through its built-in beacon and the self test app. They are capable of performing self tests across multiple loops and panels concurrently and
are compatible with FlashScan protocol. Refer to Table G.6, “Self-Test FlashScan Codes,” on page 115 for a list of Self Test FlashScan
Codes.

 Appendix G: Type Codes
G.1 What Are Type Codes?
Type Codes are software selections for initiating devices (detectors and monitor modules) and output devices (control modules and NACs).
Some Type Codes are self-explanatory; that is, the Type Code matches the function of the device, such as a “Monitor” for a monitor module,
“Smoke(photo)” for a photoelectric detector and so on. Type codes also provide special functions, such as activating switches, solenoids and
control panel functions. FlashScan devices are assigned a special FlashScan code.
How to Select a Type Code
Type Codes are selected in VeriFire Tools.
This appendix contains detailed descriptions of Type Codes for input and output devices, as listed below:

Type of Device Refer to

Intelligent Detectors Appendix G.1 on page 110
Monitor Modules Appendix G.2 on page 112
SLC Outputs Appendix G.3 on page 113

G.2 Type Codes for Input Devices

Overview
This section provides a list of Type Codes for intelligent detectors and for monitor modules. The following Point Types react in the following
way when activated:
• Fire Alarm- Red indication on the Alert Bar and flashes on the Header Bar when one or more alarms occur. Illuminates steadily after
alarms are acknowledged and turns off when RESET is pressed after the alarm(s) clear.
• CO Alarm- Blue indication on the Alert Bar and flashes on the Header Bar for a CO alarm. Illuminates steadily after alarms are
acknowledged and turns off when RESET is pressed after the alarm(s) clear.
• Supervisory- Yellow Indication that flashes on the Alert Bar when a Supervisory or Tamper condition occurs, such as a sprinkler
valve tamper condition. The indication illuminates steady after conditions are acknowledged and turns off when the conditions are
cleared. A Tamper indication will latch until RESET is pushed. RESET is required for any latched event.
• Security- A blue indication on the Alert Bar and flashes on Header Bar when a security activation occurs. Illuminates steadily after
acknowledge is pressed and turns off when the security activation is cleared. RESET is required for any latched event.
• Trouble- Yellow indication on the Alert Bar and flashes on the Header Bar when one or more troubles occur. Illuminates steadily
when ACKNOWLEDGE is pressed and turns off when all trouble conditions are cleared.
• Other Event- Yellow indication that flashes on the Alert Bar when a Critical Process or Hazard /Weather Alert occurs When a CO
Pre-alarm occurs, indication flashes blue and a Pre-alarm indication will flash red. Illuminates steady when Acknowledge is pressed
and turns off when the condition is cleared.

AIR REF fire Y Y Assign to one or more FSL-751detectors used to monitor the quality of air
entering the protected area. The air quality measurement allows the VIEW
system to compensate for vehicle fumes, fog, or other particles brought into the
protected area through the ventilation system. Poor air quality will lower the
sensitivity of all FSL-751 detectors on the SLC. The detector sensitivity, however,
remains within approved limits (always less than 1% obscuration per foot).
Note: A reference detector still functions as a smoke detector, but the detector sensitivity level should be set to the least sensitive level—AL:9 and PA:9

 Appendix I: Network Display Mode
I.1 Network Display Mode Overview
The panel programming Network Display Mode choices, available through VeriFire Tools are described below. Network Display Mode
allows the N16 to display network events for mapped nodes. This feature is programmable via VeriFire Tools.

I.1.1 Limitations
When in Network Display Mode:
1. Only the following network node types can be mapped to the N16:

• NFS2-3030 • DVC
• NFS2-640 • NCD
• NFS-320
•

2. Read Status, Control On/Off, Disable/Enable and Network Control-By-Event will only function for the nodes that are mapped to the
N16.
3. The number of display type nodes for the entire network is limited to a total of 25. Display nodes include NCA, NCA-2, a Gateway
node, or an N16 in Network Display Mode.

I.2 Event and Drill/Alarm Signal Mapping

The N16 can be programmed to monitor events and initiate drill (alarm signal for Canadian Applications) on one (1) additional fire panel and
up to four (4) DVCs. For information on Network Node Mapping.

 Appendix K: Battery Calculations
K.1 Overview
This section contains instructions and tables for calculating power supply currents in alarm and standby conditions. This is a four-step pro-
cess, consisting of the following:
1. Calculating the total amount of AC branch circuit current required to operate the system
2. Calculating the worst-case system current load on the control panel, when primary (AC) power is applied, to assure that the limit of the
its internal power supply will not be exceeded. This considers the fire alarm condition only.
3. Calculating the total current load on the batteries (secondary power source) in the event of an AC power loss. This considers both
standby and fire alarm conditions.
4. Calculating the size of the batteries required to support the system if AC power loss occurs, based on the total battery current load, plus
a regulatory agency mandated derating factor.

K.2 Calculating the AC Branch Circuit

The control panel requires connection to a separate, dedicated AC branch circuit, which must be labeled FIRE ALARM. This branch circuit
must connect to the line side of the main power feed of the protected premises. No other non-fire alarm equipment may be powered from the
fire alarm branch circuit. The branch circuit wire must run continuously, without any disconnect devices, from the power source to the con-
trol panel. Over-current protection for this circuit must comply with Article 760 of the National Electrical Codes as well as local codes. Use
14 AWG (2.00 mm2) wire with 600 volt insulation for this branch circuit.
Use Table K.1, to determine the total amount of current, in AC amperes (A), that must be supplied to the system.

Devices (AC amps) Device
1 X 3.25 =

CHG-120 [ ] X 2.00 =
[ ] X [ ] =
Sum Column for AC Branch Current Required =
Table K.1 AC Branch Circuit Requirements

K.3 Calculating the System Current Load

Overview
The control panel’s internal power supply must support all connected devices while primary (AC) power is applied. The continuous system
current load is highest during a fire alarm condition. To calculate the fire alarm load on the internal power supply, use Calculation Column 1
in Table K.3 on page 127.
The secondary power source (batteries) must be able to power the system under both standby and fire alarm conditions upon loss of primary
(AC) power. To calculate the fire alarm load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 2 in Table K.3 on page 127. To calcu-
late the standby load on the secondary power source, use Calculation Column 3 in Table K.3 on page 127.
All currents are given in amperes (A). Table K.2 shows how to convert milliamperes and microamperes to full amperes.
To convert... Multiply Example
Milliamperes (mA) to mA x 0.001 3 mA x 0.001 = 0.003A
amperes (A)
Microamperes (µA) to µA x 0.000001 300 µA x 0.000001 = 0.0003 A
amperes (A)

K.4 Calculating the Battery Size

Use Table K.4 to calculate the total Standby and Alarm load in ampere hours (AH). This total load determines the battery size (in AH),
required to support the system upon loss of primary (AC) power. Complete Table K.4 as follows:
1. Enter the totals from Table K.3 on page 127, Calculation Columns 2 and 3 where shown
2. Enter the NFPA Standby and Alarm times (refer to ‘NFPA Requirements’ below)
3. Calculate the ampere hours for Standby and Alarm, then sum the Standby and Alarm ampere hours
4. Multiply the sum by the derating factor of 1.2 to calculate the proper battery size (in AH)
5. Write the ampere hour requirements on the Protected Premises label located inside the cabinet door

NFPA 72 Local, Proprietary, Central, Auxiliary and Remote Fire Alarm Systems require 24 hours of standby power followed by 5 minutes in
alarm

K.4.2 Selecting and Locating Batteries

Select sealed lead acid batteries that meet or exceed the total ampere hours calculated in Table K.4 . The control panel can charge batteries in
the 7 AH to 100 AH range. The control panel cabinet is capable of housing batteries up to 26 AH. Batteries larger than 26 AH require a UL
listed external battery charger and cabinet such as the NFS-LBB or other UL listed external battery cabinet.
