)&6 1 :' - "% 4.16 Synchronized NAC OperationSynchronization is a panel feature that controls the activation of notification appliances insuch a way that all devices will turn on and off at exactly the same time. This isparticularly critical when activating strobes which must be synchronized to avoid randomactivation and a potential hazard or confusion. The FACP can be programmed to operatewith a variety of manufacturer’s devices.Important: When a Notification Appliance Circuit with a mix of audible and visualdevices is programmed for silenceable and the synchronization feature is selected, onlythe audible devices will be turned off if the Silence key is pressed. The visual devices(strobes, etc.) will continue to operate.4.17 Coded OperationThe two NAC circuits resident on the control panel main circuit board can be programmedfor coded operation. The available pulse rates which can be programmed for codedoperation are as follows:• Continuous: Steady output with no pulsing• March Time: Pulses at 120 ppm (pulses per minute)• Temporal Code: Pulses at ½ second On, ½ second Off, ½ second On, ½second Off, ½ second On, 1½ second Off• California Code: 10 seconds On, 5 seconds Off• Two-Stage Pulses at 20 ppm (pulses per minute) for 5 minutes andthen changes to on steady4.18 PresignalPresignal option programs an initiating device to delay the activation of NACs and/orcontrol modules while allowing visual verification by a person. Once a detector ormonitor module triggers an alarm, the onboard piezo sounds immediately, but the NACsare not activated for a user programmed time duration of up to three minutes. Note that thealarm relay and communicator will respond to the initial alarm immediately. In addition,Zone 98 will activate. This zone can be programmed to a control module which may beused to activate a sounder or indicator which the installer designates as a Presignalindication. $ 4 ? 1 $ 6 * $ "After the programmed delay, the NACs will activate if the source of the alarm is notcleared. Note that if a second alarm occurs during the programmed time delay, the alarmwill be processed immediately, causing activation of the appropriate output zones. Theevents which occur upon Presignal activation are as follows:✓ onboard piezo sounds immediately✓ control panel LCD display will indicate a presignal event and the active point✓ control points programmed to Zone 98 will activate✓ annunciators (if enabled) will sound the local piezo, and pulse the alarm LED andzone LED✓ outputs (NACs and control modules) of associated zones will be inhibited fromactivating for a user programmed time delay of up to three minutes✓ second alarm occurring anytime during the time delay will cause immediateactivation of all associated outputsPresignal does not affect monitor modules programmed as waterflow, supervisory, processmonitoring or remote switches. Presignal operation requires the approval of the localAuthority Having Jurisdiction.
