Programming the NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 for Remote Annunciation
I.4 Programming the NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 for Remote Annunciation
Annunciator points must be programmed from the NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 before the annunciators will function. To program the
annunciators into NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 memory, and to map system points and logic zones to annunciator points, refer to the NFS-
3030 Programming Manual, NFS2-3030 Programming Manual, or NCA-2 Manual. The NFS-3030, NFS2-3030 and NCA-2 employ the fol-
lowing format for annunciator points:
Annunciator address
In the range of 1-32,
as set on the
annunciator's rotary
decimal switches.
I.5 Configuring Annunciators for NFS-3030, NFS2-3030, or NCA-2
The switch numbers given below are for SW28 on the ACM-24AT and ACM-48A, and for the 8-pin DIP switch on the ACM-16AT and
ACM-32A. Address and DIP switches must be set before the annunciator will operate properly. See Section 5.2 for switch locations.
Switch #
1 Manual override: Set "ON" when the annunciator is used for manual override of control relays.
2, 3 Expanders installed: Set these switches according to how many expanders are installed at the address. See Section 5.12.3 for
ACM-24AT/ACM-48A; see Section 5.13.3 for ACM-16AT/ACM-32A.
4 Not used; set to OFF
5 Receive Only: Set this switch "ON" for each annunciator that will provide the same information as another annunciator in a different location.
(When two or more annunciators hold the same address, all but one must be configured as "Receive Only" annunciators.)
6 Piezo Disable: Set this switch "ON" to disable the piezo from sounding for any event. (The piezo will also be disabled if Flash Inhibit is "ON".)
7 Switch Inhibit: Set this switch "ON" to disable the point control switches on the annunciator and prevent them from executing system control
functions. When inhibited, the switches will serve as local Lamp Test switches only. In addition, the Acknowledge/Lamp Test switch will
function only in a local capacity unrecognized by the system.
NOTE: Only the first four switches control the NCA Their functions are: 1=Acknowledge 2=Signal Silence, 3=System Reset, 4=Drill.
8 Flash Inhibit: Set this switch "ON" to disable the flashing of LEDs associated with unacknowledged events. Flash Inhibit also disables the
piezo from sounding.

I.6 Configurations for Specific Applications with NFS-3030, NFS2-3030, or NCA-2
The ACS is a vital part of voice alarm applications. An ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT allows for manual selection of speaker or telephone cir-
cuits and can provide common system annunciation of circuits and logic zones. Dedicated annunciators are required for each of the follow-
ing specific types of applications:
• Common System Annunciation
• Speaker and Telephone Mode
• Manual Override
I.6.1 Common System Annunciation
An ACM-24AT or ACM-16AT module may be used to annunciate NFS-3030/NFS2-3030/NCA-2 circuits and logic zones. If located
remotely and used to execute control functions (Acknowledge, Signal Silence, System Reset), the DIP switches on the annunciator must be
set as follows:
