Waterflow
Waterflow (no retard):
For connection of both
vane type and pressure
flow switches. Activations
are immediately
considered as alarms.
NACs activated by
waterflow IDCs can not be
silenced until activated
devices restore to normal
(panel reset not required).
Circuit can not be
restored until devices are
restored to normal and
panel is reset.
Ret-wf/superv
Waterflow (retard) /
supervisory (latching):
Special IDC that allows
connection of both
waterflow and supervisory
devices on the same 2-
wire circuit. Requires the
use of two resistors (3.6
k
Ω and 1.1 kΩ). The
waterflow portion of the
circuit functions the same
as IDC Type 3 Waterflow
(retard) and the
supervisory portion
functions the same as
IDC Type 7 Supervisory
(latching).
Wf-supervisory
Waterflow (no retard) /
supervisory (latching):
Special IDC that allows
the connection of both
waterflow and supervisory
devices on the same 2-
wire circuit. Requires the
use of two resistors (3.6
k
Ω and 1.1 kΩ). See
“Waterflow (no retard)”
and “Supervisory
(latching)” settings for
additional information.
Supervisory
Supervisory (latching):
For the connection of
supervisory devices.
Momentary activation of
normally open devices
immediately places the
panel in a supervisory
state and turns on
supervisory LEDs and
relays. Circuit can not be
restored until devices are
restored to normal and
panel is reset.
Monitor
Monitor: Monitoring of
normally open switches
for other functions (fire
door position, etc.). Not
approved for use under
ULC 527 in Canada.
To program IDC zone types:
1. Press Remote Disconnect to select the program option.
For new panels, the Trouble LED of IDC 1 lights.
Otherwise, the Trouble LED of the last IDC programmed
lights. To select an IDC for programming, press the IDC
Disable button.
2. Press Reset to select the desired IDC zone type.
Note: If you program an IDC as a waterflow/supervisory,
a supervisory activation will not turn on the outputs
(NACs and relays). Only a waterflow activation will turn
on the outputs.
3. Program which NAC activates for the IDC.
The Trouble LED for the NAC lights to indicate which
NAC is associated with the IDC. Press the NAC Disable
button to deselect (or reselect) it for activation.
The default is that each alarm or waterflow IDC activates
all NACs. Only alarm, waterflow, and supervisory can
operate NACs. Alarm and supervisory IDCs should not be
assigned to the same NACs. Monitor zones can not be
assigned to NACs.
4. Press Panel Silence to save your selection for the IDC.
The trouble buzzer sounds a long beep as confirmation.
5. Select the next IDC for programming by pressing its
Disable button.
The corresponding Trouble LED lights to indicate your
selection.
6. Program the IDC by repeating steps 2 through 4, above.
Complete this procedure for each IDC before moving on
to the next program option.
7. Program IDC classes
Description: Programs the IDCs as either Class B or Class A.
This option only appears for panels that can be configured as
Class A. All IDC types except the two combination waterflow/
supervisory options can be configured as Class A
For Class A operation, you need to configure a pair of IDCs,
one odd and one even. When you change the class of an IDC,
you must change the class of both IDCs in the pair.
