Figure 3-3: Nonvolatile RAM Chips
Corrective Action:
1) Follow proper precautions when applying or removing power from the Fire
Alarm Control Panel. If proper procedures have been followed and loss of
memory is still a problem, call Notifier Technical Services.
When new points are programmed into the system they will cause a trouble
condition if the devices are not physically installed. When each trouble is
received, the piezo sounder will sound and the user will get kicked out of
programming. This situation can become quite annoying, but is easily resolved.
Corrective Action:
1) In Partial System Programming, select to silence the piezo sounder during
programming.
2) Go to Full Point Programming, and program the first device to be added to the
system.
3) Shortly after programming this device, a trouble condition (Invalid Reply) will
be generated. This trouble condition will result in the user getting kicked out of
Full Point Programming.
4) Do not acknowledge this trouble.
5) Instead, immediately reenter Full Point Programming and begin to program
the next point. As soon as the user reenters Full Point Programming, the
piezo sounder will silence and will not resound for subsequent trouble
conditions while the user is in program mode.
6) Upon completion of all point programming, return to Partial System Program
ming and re-enable the piezo sounder during programming.
When the event reminder is enabled in Full or Partial System Programming, the
piezo sounder will beep approximately every seven seconds as a reminder that
acknowledged events remain in the system and have not been restored yet. If
this condition is not desirable, it may be easily disabled.
Corrective Action:
1) Enter Full or Partial System Programming and disable the event reminder.
2) With the event reminder disabled, once the piezo sounder is silenced for an
event condition, it will remain silenced until a new event occurs.

Added.

After All Events Have
Been Acknowledged.
