System Operation

Operation Mode Behavior

The Emergency LOC Alarm entry in the Event Priority Table encompasses all ECS Alarm Events that can be activated from an

LOC (LOC Mic Triggered ECS Alarm and LOC ECS 1 Alarm through LOC ECS 8 Alarm). By default, these events do not
have a priority - they can be activated in any order. A programming option in HFSS exists to force a priority scheme for the
LOC ECS Alarm Events. When this option is enabled, the lower numbered the ECS event is, the higher priority it has (e.g.

LOC ECS 1 Alarm is higher priority than LOC ECS 8 Alarm). With this priority scheme, once a higher priority ECS Event has
been activated, an ECS reset must be performed before a lower priority ECS Event can be activated.
The Event Priority Table contains the following events for modification:

10.5.4 Priority Rules

The Event priorities can be changed only within, not between, priority levels (defined by bold lines in Table 10.3).

The Emergency LOC Alarm must always be higher than the Emergency 1-8 Point Alarm and Emergency Voice Aux 1-4

Alarm.

The Fike Series, ECS events do not need to be set in order by the ECS number.

10.5.5 Other Priority Considerations

There are other considerations to take into account when the same event is acting on the same output group (an event being
mapped to an output group.) These are prioritized in order of appearance:
•

For the Voice System using the dual channel, the normal mapping takes priority over the alert mapping. Example: Zone 1

Manual Pull is mapped to Voice Group 1 as an Alert 1 mapping and Zone 2 Manual Pull is mapped to Voice Group 1 as a

normal mapping. If Zone 1 and Zone 2 Manual Pull events are active, Voice Group 1 will annunciate the Fire Alarm

message defined in the Voice Settings for the panel's assigned site.

•

The Event priority is considered here based on the Event Priority Table.

•

If an output group is mapped both directly and through an output group template to an event, the direct map gets priority.

Example: Template 1 Contains Group 1. Zone 1 Manual Pull is mapped to Template 1 and Group 1 using constant and

ANSI patterns respectively. If Zone 1 Manual Pull is active, Group 1 will output ANSI.

•

When an event is mapped to an output group from multiple zones, the lower numbered zone gets priority. Example: Zone

1 Manual Pull and Zone 2 Manual Pull are mapped to Group 1 using constant and ANSI patterns respectively. If Zone 1

and Zone 2 Manual Pull events are active, Group 1 will output constant.

10.6 Operation Mode Behavior

The control panel can display one or more of seven conditions at any given moment: Normal, Alarm, Prealarm, Supervisory,
Trouble, Silenced, and Reset. Table 10.4 describes the behavior of the panel in each of these modes.
When looking at the LCD, the screen will display FS for the “Fire System”, or CO for the “CO System”. The highest priority
event will display first and include the event count (see Figure 10.4).
