Section 9: Programming
This section of the manual describes how to manually program the control panel from the built-in annunciator. Each subsection discusses
these menu options in detail. All options described in this section can be performed using the HFSS - Honeywell Fire Software Suite.
IMPORTANT!
Before any customized programming is done, JumpStart AutoProgramming should be run first. After JumpStart is run, thor-
oughly test the system. The reason the system should be tested after JumpStart AutoProgramming is because JumpStart Auto-
Programming automatically programs the system, searching for and configuring all SLC and SBUS devices it finds. JumpStart
allows you to confirm the integrity of the installation prior to performing any custom programming. After determining that the
hardware is properly installed, custom programming can be performed. Refer to Section 8.
9.2 Modules
This section lists the options available under the module option in the Panel Programming. The following modules are available for the
control panel: 5824 serial/parallel/IO printer interface module, RA-2000, RA-1000 & RA-100 LCD remote annunciators, 5815XL SLC
Loop expander for SD devices, 6815 SLC Loop Expander for IDP or SK, RPS-1000 power supply, 5496 NAC expander, 5880 LED I/O
module, 5865 LED annunciator Module, ECS-50W, ECS-125W, or ECS-INT50W watt voice amplifiers, ECS-AMP audio/voice ampli-
fier, ECS-DUAL50W dual channel amplifier, ECS-VCM voice control module, ECS-NVCM network voice control module, ECS-RVM
remote voice module, and SK-NIC network Interface card.
NOTE: If you are working on a networked system you will need to select which panel you want to program.
Editing Module ID
6. Press the up or down arrow key to modify the module ID.
NOTE: Internal devices, SK-NIC and ECS-NVCM are not able to have their module ID edited.
Naming Modules
You can assign an English name to a system hardware module to make it easier to recognize on a display.
7. If you wish to edit the module’s name, press ENTER on the module’s name. Then, press the number keys corresponding to the
character for the module’s, name (or press right arrow key to bypass editing the name).
NOTE: If you Add a Module that has not been physically connected, the panel will go into trouble after it reinitializes (when you exit the Panel
Programming). When the new module is attached, the trouble will correct itself automatically
9.3 Zone
Through the zone option in Panel Programming you can edit and view zone points. Selections made here affect all detectors and switches
in the zone. Up to 999 zones can be used in each panel.
NOTE: You only see smoke sensitivity on the IFP-2100/ECS if the daytime/nighttime sensitivity is off under System Options. (See Section
9.6.2). Otherwise if you have Daytime/Nighttime sensitivity on, this will bring up a Smoke Sens Day and Night, 2 separate widgets with sensitivity
selection being either low, med or high for each
NOTE: IDP-FIRE-CO, SK-FIRE-CO and other CO detectors can only be installed in a 1 count zone; they will operate as a 1-
count point regardless of the programmed zone type (i.e. Alarm Verification, 2 count etc.).
All detectors in the zone will respond as programmed in this menu location.
4. Use the up or down arrow key to scroll through the range or enter directly from the number keys on the annunciator, then press
ENTER.
NOTE: If the SLC protocol is changed from IDP/SK to SD and a zone's sensitivity is higher than the SD limit, the zone sensitivity will be set to
the max value, 150, for the SD family.
NOTE: The B200S / IV Sounder base provides the recommended CO cadence pattern
NOTE: If the SLC protocol is changed from SD to IDP/SK series and the cadence is no longer valid for IDP/SK, the zone cadence will be set to
constant on.
9.4 Group
An output group is made up of output points that have been programmed to respond in the same way. Output groups simplify program-
ming because you only have to program the output characteristics that are common to all of the group points once, instead of program-
ming each individual point. Once you have defined the characteristics of output groups, you can assign each point to the appropriate
group. All valid output points are assigned to only one output group. Unused points are not assigned to any output group. Up to 999 out-
put groups can be defined per pane
• Dynamic Activation / Template Override Cadence. (This is shown when the Template override is set to Yes and Dynamic
Activation is Yes): this setting sets the cadence of the non-voice group mapped to voice select switch when activated using dynamic
activation or by a template.
Defining Output Group Type
Each output group is defined as either a voice output group or a non-voice output group. Output points that are
audio circuits (all circuits on the ECS-50W, ECS-125W, ECS-DUAL50W, ECS-INT50W and ECS-CE4) can only be assigned to voice
output groups. Output points that are non-voice circuits (all other points and circuits that are on all modules except the ECS-50W, ECS-
125W, ECS-DUAL50W, ECS-INT50W and ECS-CE4) are assigned to non-voice output groups.
Each of the output groups defined as voice can be mapped to a particular switch and LED on the ECS-VCM/ECS-NVMC, ECS-RVM
and ECS-SW24. This allows the user to see the state of the voice groups assigned to the switches.
This also lets the user individually select which areas they want to do a live page into. Output groups not defined as voice groups can
also be assigned to these switches as long as there is a voice group already assigned to the group. This allows for dynamically activat-
ing/deactivating both voice and strobes/other outputs in an area with a single button press. See Activating Output Groups Dynamically.

7. Right arrow to the OPG and select YES or NO to select which output groups to include in the template.
9.5 Point
You may need to change characteristics of individual input points (detectors and switches) even after using JumpStart AutoProgram-
ming. This section explains how to change options for: type of input point; latching/non-latching status (switches); and name and
zone/group assignment of a point.

MANUAL PULL Use this switch type for manual pull stations. This input is always
latched. The switch can clear only when an alarm is reset. This switch
type has the highest fire priority; it overrides any other type of fire
alarm.
WATERFLOW Latching Use this switch type for monitoring water flow in a sprinkler system.
Non Latching Switch closure will cause a sprinkler alarm. Water flow switches can be
programmed as latching or non-latching.
You can program a delay of up to 90 seconds to be used with a water
flow switch. The delay allows for normal, brief changes in sprinkler
system water pressure. The water flow alarm will not activate unless
SWITCH the switch is active for the programmed delay time.
(cont.) If a delay is used, the system begins counting down when the switch
closes. If the switch opens (restores) before the timer expires, a water
flow alarm is not generated. If the water flow switch remains closed
after the timer expires, a water flow alarm will be generated.
FIRE SUPER- Latching Use this switch type for tamper monitoring of sprinklers and other fire
VISORY Non Latching protection devices. If a contact closes, a sprinkler supervisory event will
be generated. Supervisory switches can be latching or non-latching.
FIRE DRILL System-level, non latching switch. This switch is an alternative way of
causing a fire drill. It has the same operation as the fire drill option
available from the annunciator. When the switch is activated, a fire drill
begins; when the switch is de-activated, the fire drill ends.
