Term Description
SLC Signaling Line Circuit
Module The term module is used for all hardware devices except for SLC
addressable devices and notification appliances. This includes
the 5700 panel itself.
Input Point An addressable sensing device, such as a smoke or heat
detector or a contact monitor device.
Input Zone A protected area made up of input points.
Output Point
(or Output Circuit) A notification point or circuit for notification appliances. Relay
circuits and auxiliary power circuits are also considered output
points.
Group (or “Output Group”) A group of output points. Operating characteristics are common
to all output points in the group.
Output (or “Cadence”) Pattern The pattern that the output will use, for example, Constant,
March Code, ANSI 3.41. Applies to zones and special system
events. See Section 7.6.3.2 for additional information.
Mapping Mapping is the process of specifying which outputs are activated
