use.
When events occur, the communicator sends them to the monitoring station in priority order
according to NFPA requirements. Fire and waterflow alarms are sent first, followed by
supervisory alarms and trouble reports and then all other reports. Priority reporting can send
a Restoral report after several alarm reports in a situation where a point sends multiple
alarms, implying that a point is restored when it has returned to alarm. The following
sequence, (alarm, restore, alarm) is sent as (alarm, alarm, restore) when priority sorting is
applied.
!
Warning!
Event sorting can hide unrestored points
Priority sorting on events sent to a monitoring station can cause the message sequence to im-
ply that a point is restored when it is not.
The communicator can store 32 events while waiting for the monitoring station to accept the
events. If more than 32 reportable events occur before the monitoring station accepts events,
some event information is lost and a Data Lost report is sent to the central station.
The FPD‑7024’s communicator is equipped with a line seizure relay to prevent interference
with outgoing event reports. In a system where the fire communicator shares the phone line
with other equipment on the premises, the phone line might be unavailable to the other
equipment for up to 15 min has a fault with the central station acceptance of the event data.
Phone lines for fire control panels must not be shared with other equipment.
