54 NFS2-640/E Operations Manual — P/N 52743:F1 06/16/2011Special Zone Operation NAC CodingA.4 NAC CodingA.4.1 Overview of CodingA Coding selection is the Code Type that pulses when the control panel activates a NAC mapped toSpecial Zone F8. Special Zone F8 provides seven coding selections (see Table A.4) that you can listin the CBE of a NAC. To use a Code Type, program a NAC to list Zone F8 (reserved for a CodeType) in the NAC CBE list.The table below contains descriptions of the signals that correspond to each NAC Code Type:A.4.2 How to View Coding (F8) SelectionsYou can use the Read Status Entry option to view the current selection for the Coding function. Todo so, press the following keys in sequence:The LCD display shows the current selections for the Code Type. Figure A.6 shows a sample LCDdisplay of a Code Type selection of March Time:Figure A.6 Sample Read Status for Coding FunctionNOTE: Control modules (FCM-1, FRM-1) cannot be coded.Coding Selection Signal NotesMarch Time (default) 120 PPM (pulses Per minute) Default selection for NACs mapped to F8.Two-Stage Alert signal (20 PPM) orGeneral Alarm signal (Temporalpattern)Alert signal – When an alarm occurs and not activated byanother zone, the output pulses at 20 PPM.General Alarm signal – If not acknowledged within 5 minutes,the control panel switches from 20 PPM to Temporal pattern.California 10 sec.
