NFS640-keypad2.cdr
Figure 3 Control Keys
Acknowledge/Scroll Display
Use the ACKNOWLEDGE/SCROLL DISPLAY key to respond to new alarm or trouble signals. When pressed, the
control panel does the following:
• Silences the panel sounder
• Changes all active LED indicators from flashing to steady
• Sends an Acknowledge message to the History buffer and installed printers, CRT-2 terminals,
and terminal mode LCD-80s
• Sends a signal to silence the sounders on the LCD-80 and ACS annunciators
You can also press this key to display multiple alarms or troubles. If more than one alarm or trouble
exists, the control panel displays the next alarm or trouble for 3 seconds (or until you press the
ACKNOWLEDGE/SCROLL DISPLAY key), then displays the next alarm or trouble.
Note: If Local Control is set to “NO”, the FACP will not respond to ACKNOWLEDGE, and the piezo will not sound.
Signal Silence
Use the SIGNAL SILENCE key to silence the panel sounder and turn off all audio and visual devices
connected to Notification Appliance Circuits. When pressed, the control panel does the following:
• Turns off the panel sounder
• Turns off all silenceable output circuits
• Lights the SIGNALS SILENCED LED
• Sends a SIGNALS SILENCED message to the History buffer and installed printers, CRT-2 terminals,
Note: If Local Control is set to “NO”, the FACP will not respond to SIGNAL SILENCE.

in Figure 13.
How to Respond to a Pre-Alarm Warning
Pre-Alarm Alert and Action Levels

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 if you want to get an
early warning of incipient or potential fire conditions. The Pre-Alarm function provides one of two
levels of Pre-Alarm as follows:
Note: For detailed information on Pre-Alarm applications, refer to the IFC-640 Programming Manual.
• Alert – a non-latching condition that causes a Pre-Alarm when a detector reaches the
programmed Pre-Alarm level.
• Action – a latching condition that causes a Pre-Alarm when a detector reaches the programmed
Pre-Alarm level.
Responding to a Pre-Alarm Warning

The Pre-Alarm screen display is the same for both alert and action conditions. Following is a sample
screen for a Pre-Alarm message.

An Alert Pre-Alarm automatically restores to normal when the detector sensitivity, programmable to
one of nine settings, drops below the programmed Alert level. Zone F09 automatically clears when no
Pre-Alarm conditions exist.
An Action Pre-Alarm latches until you reset the system - even if the detector sensitivity drops below the
Action level. Zone F09 activates - but Zone Z00 (general alarm) and the trouble and alarm relays do not
activate. The fifth zone programmed, not the first four, in the detector’s CBE activates. A subsequent
alarm condition for this detector clears the Action indication from the LCD display.
Interpreting Pre-Alarm Type Codes

The Type Code that displays in the Pre-Alarm warning indicates the function of the point that initiates
the Pre-Alarm warning. Refer to the Detectors section of Table 4 for the Type Codes that can appear in
a Pre-Alarm warning, and for descriptions of those Type Codes.

Operation of Special System Timers
What are System Timers?

There are user-programmable time delays for three specific functions: the Auto Silence Timer, the
Alarm Verification Timer, and the Silence Inhibit Timer. Figure 20 shows a sample System Function
Selection screen with system timer settings. For instructions on changing system functions, refer to the
IFC-640 Programming Manual.
How to View System Timer Selections

You can use the Read Status Entry option (explained in Chapter 4) to view the current selection for the
System Timers. To do so, press the keys shown below in sequence:
The LCD display shows the current selections for System Functions, which includes the three system
timers.

How System Timers Work

The control panel can operate with special system timers: Auto Silence Timer, Alarm Verification Timer
and Silence Inhibit Timer.
Auto Silence Timer

A timer that functions like pressing the SIGNAL SILENCE key. When the Auto Silence Timer reaches its
programmed value (600-900 seconds), the control panel automatically shuts off all active outputs
programmed as silenceable. To restart the Auto Silence Timer, press the DRILL key.
Alarm Verification Timer

A timer that directs the control panel to ignore a fire alarm for a smoke detector, programmed for Alarm
Verification, while the Alarm Verification Timer is counting. Table 10 contains a summary of how the
Alarm Verification Timer works.
If The control panel does this

Table 10 Alarm Verification Timer Operation


Waterflow Circuit Operation 3. Operation of the Control Panel
Silence Inhibit Timer

A timer that disables the SIGNAL SILENCE key function and inhibits reset during countdown for the
programmed time (0-300 seconds) when a fire alarm occurs. A Silence Inhibit Timer starts at the first
fire alarm. Subsequent alarms will not restart the timer until the alarm condition is completely resolved
and a panel reset is performed.
Waterflow Circuit Operation

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. Refer to the IFC-640 Installation Manual
for information on Waterflow circuits.
Style 6 and Style 7 Operation

Style 6 and Style 7 are supervised methods of communicating with addressable devices. If the control
panel detects a trouble (open or short), it will attempt to drive both ends of the loop, maintaining
communication in an unsupervised method. The trouble will display on the panel as a Style 6 trouble
until you correct the condition. Style 7 configuration of the SLC requires the use of M500XJ modules.

How to View Read Status for Event and Alarm History
Overview
The control panel maintains a History buffer of the last 800 events, each with a time and date stamp.
History events include the following:
• All alarms, troubles and operator actions, such as: Acknowledge, System Reset, Signal
Silence, Drill, and Walk Test.
• Programming entries (Program Change and Status Change, but not Read Status), along with a
number (0-9) indicating the programming submenu (for example, 0=Clear). For an example,
see Figure 34.
You can view events from the History buffer in two forms: by displaying all events (option 2, HIST=2) or
by displaying alarm events only (option 4, ALARM HIST=4).
Note: The History buffer contains 800 events total, including the alarm events that display for Alarm history. The
control panel generates Alarm history from the alarm events that exist in the 800-event History buffer.

How Time Control and Holiday Functions Work

Time and Holiday activation occurs automatically and does not require operator intervention. All
outputs with a CBE list containing F5 or F6 activate within the times specified for the days of the week
listed in F5 or F6. All smoke detectors with a CBE list containing F5 or F6 switch to their lowest
sensitivity (AL:9) within the times specified for the days of the week listed in ZF5 or ZF6. Refer to
“Appendix C: AWACS Applications” in the IFC-640 Programming Manual for details on setting
detector sensitivity.
Time Control is active for all days of the week listed in F5 or F6. Holidays listed in F7 are excluded
unless you list Holidays (H) in the day-of-week selection of F5 and F6 (shown in Figure 45). Enter the
time functions in a 24-hour format with the OFF time later than the ON time. After changing
programming using Time Control, always reset the control panel.
Note: You can turn a NON FIRE control point on and off, by listing zone F5 or F6 in the CBE list of a control/relay
module.
You can use Time Control zones F5 and F6 to program non-fire applications such as turning lights on
and off, setting a thermostat, and so on. For example, you can program zones F5 and F6 to activate
outputs at one time of day and deactivate outputs at later time, on specified days of a week. Table 16
contains descriptions of additional Time Control applications:
Application Requirement
Control day and night sensitivity of List zone F5 or F6 in the detector CBE. This
intelligent, addressable detectors automatically sets the detector sensitivity to the
minimum setting (AL:9) during the day and
automatically returns detector sensitivity to
programmed sensitivity during the evening.

Appendix A: Special Zone Operation Presignal and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) Operation
Presignal and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) Operation
Overview
This section describes the Presignal and PAS selection, and provides instructions on how to do the
following:
• View Presignal and PAS selections
• Respond to an alarm with Presignal
• Operate the control panel with a Presignal Delay Timer only
• Operate the control panel with a Presignal Delay Timer and PAS
What is Presignal and PAS?

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 from 60 to180 seconds after the start of alarm
processing. The control panel Presignal feature provides two selections:
Note: Presignal differs from the Alarm Verification Timer which does not require human intervention.
• A Presignal Delay Timer (60-180 seconds) that delays activation of all outputs with a CBE that
includes Special Zone F0.
• A PAS selection, in addition to the Presignal Delay Timer, that 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 local and remote outputs activate immediately and
automatically.

Appendix B: Intelligent Detector Functions
Note: For instructions on selecting Intelligent Detector Functions, refer to the IFC-640 Programming Manual.
Descriptions for Intelligent Detector Functions
Function Description
Analog Display The control panel reads and displays analog information from the
318 analog detectors (159 per SLC). The display shows the sensed
air at the detector as a percentage of the alarm threshold for each
detector.
Sensitivity Adjust Nine selections for manually setting intelligent detector alarm
levels within the UL range. If using ionization detectors in duct
applications, set Sensitivity Adjust to Level 1.
Note: Refer to the IFC-640 Programming Manual for detector
sensitivity information.
Day/Night Sensitivity You can program the system to automatically force smoke detectors
Operation to minimum sensitivity during the day. Refer to “Time, Date, and
Holiday Functions” on page 59.
Maintenance Alert When compensation reaches the limit of the amount of drift
compensation that can be safely applied, the control panel reports a
trouble condition, according to National Fire Alarm Code
standards. This condition also activates if the detector remains at
very high or very low measured air levels for an extended time.
Automatic Test The control panel performs an automatic test of each detector every
Operation 256 minutes. Failure to meet the test limits causes an Auto Test Fail
trouble.
Type Code The control panel monitors hardware device Type Codes for each
Supervision installed device at regular intervals (an interval can take up to 40
minutes for a full capacity system). If a mismatch of type compared
to the program occurs, the control panel generates a point trouble
labeled Invalid Type.
LED Control A global program selection to prevent detector LEDs from blinking
Operation as a result of polling during normal operation. A typical application
is a sleeping area where a blinking light can distract people. As a
standard function, independent of this programming selection, the
control panel allows all LEDs to turn on in alarm.
Alarm Verification The control panel performs alarm verification on programmed

Timer and Verification intelligent smoke detectors. The Alarm Verification Timer is a
Counter Operation global program selection of 0–60 seconds (ULC installations can
not exceed 30 seconds). Each detector includes a Verification
Counter, which displays the number of times that a detector entered
verification but did not time-out to alarm. The Verification Counter
increments to 99 and holds.
