Section 1: Introduction; Overview - Honeywell Notifier NFS2-3030 FACP Programming And Operations Manual

1.1 Overview

A Notifier system is capable of providing both fire and mass notification protection. Based on risk assessment, installers can configure
and program a system so that mass notification (MN) system events will always have either a higher or lower priority than fire events.
When MN is programmed as the highest priority:
• Fire events will be suppressed by MN alarm events until the MN alarms are cleared.
• MN events will display ahead of fire events in each event category.
Notifier systems provide this capability beginning with the software releases in Table 1.1.
This manual describes how to use Notifier products to configure, program, and operate a system with mass notification capabilities. It
covers assembling the following key components of a mass notification system:
• Autonomous Control Units (ACU)
• Local Operating Consoles (LOC)
• Central Control Stations (CCS)
It also details the programming required to assign mass notification (MN) event priority, and describes the system's operation when MN
is part of its function.
The configurations and functions covered in this manual comply with the following standard:
UL 2572 Mass Notification Systems Standard.
Data and Security: Communication Level 1. Stored Data Level: 0. Access Control Level: 1. (Access Control Level: 2 for
