How do I program the NAC outputs on the FX-5 to operate in temporal (Code 3) pattern versus continuous mode?

To program the NAC outputs on an FX-5, you must navigate to the NAC type option in the panel programming menu and enter the specific value for the desired signal pattern. Each NAC is programmed individually by selecting the circuit and entering the corresponding value.

  1. Navigate to the NAC type option, which is Step 21 in the programming sequence (Page 42) [1].

  2. Select the NAC you wish to program by pressing that NAC's Disable button; the panel indicates the active circuit by illuminating its trouble LED (Page 41) [1].

  3. Enter the value for the desired output pattern:

  • Continuous: Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt steady signal. This is selected when the Detector LED is on (Page 41, 42) [1].

  • Temporal (3-3-3): Outputs an unsynchronized 24-volt temporal signal. This is selected when the Service LED is on (Page 41, 42) [1].

  1. Enter the value for each NAC before proceeding to the next programming option (Page 41) [1].
