2 Operation
This manual describes the operation of FireSpy Tracker 1000, 2000, and 8000 Fire Alarm Control Panels.
2.1 Standalone vs. networked panel(reserved)
A networked panel provides the same local operations and features as a standalone panel, plus the
operations and features offered by the network connection. A panel performs building monitoring of its
location regardless of whether it is standalone or networked.
2.2 Inputs, outputs, and groups
A panel responds to alarm and supervisory alarm events using inputs and outputs. Each input is placed in
one or more groups and is programmed to detect a certain type of event. When an event activates an
input, the system activates the outputs that are programmed in the same groups as the input.
Trouble conditions indicate that something on the system needs maintenance or servicing or is improperly
configured.
2.3 Types of inputs
Each input device on a panel can be programmed as one of the types of inputs below.
2.3.1 Alarm
Alarm is the normal type of input for automatic smoke detectors, heat detectors, etc. They are required to
activate building notification devices as well as the ALARM light on annunciators. They can optionally
operate relays and output modules in the system.
2.3.2 Pullstation
Pullstation is the normal type of input for manual pullstations. They operate similar to alarm inputs.
2.3.3 Waterflow
Waterflow is for water flow detectors. They are required to activate building notification devices as well as
the ALARM light on annunciators. They can optionally operate relays and output modules in the system.
Waterflow inputs can be programmed so that the outputs they activate are silenceable or nonsilenceable.
2.3.4 Supervisory
Supervisory inputs are for items such as shut-off valves and pressure detectors for sprinkler systems.
They cannot operate building notification devices, but can optionally operate relays and output modules in
the system.
2.3.5 Non-reporting
Non-reporting inputs allow associated outputs to be triggered without affecting the condition of the panel
or being reported by the DACT. The panel remains in its previous condition (normal standby, etc.) when a
non-reporting event is active.
2.3.6 FACP Reset
The FACP Reset input performs a fast reset. This clears any events that qualify as resettable, i.e. the
inputs that triggered the event have returned to normal.
2.3.7 Releasing: Release
Modules or detectors assigned to operate as a Release function initiate a sequence that will cause the
associated releasing device to energize. The sequence includes the delay timer.
