device circuits are latching alarm circuits. A manual reset is required to return
the panel to normal.

•

FACOM:

Panel operates as a dialer for fire alarm control panels that do not

have a dialer. By default, all initiating device circuits are nonlatching alarm
circuits. The control panel resets automatically after the central station
receiver acknowledges that it received all events from the control panel.

•

Sprinkler Supv:

Panel operates as an unattended sprinkler supervisory

panel. For alarm and waterflow events, the panel operates as a fire alarm
control panel. For all other events, the control panel resets automatically after
the central station receiver acknowledges that it has received all events from
the control panel.

Note:

The panel operating mode option is only available when an F-DACT(F) is
