Display Conditioning
Every 30 minutes the display will enter Display conditioning mode. During Display Conditioning the display will transition through var-
ious screens including a completely blank screen. This process takes about seven seconds. It is done to prevent image persistence, and
keeps information clear and undistorted. Any display interaction will abort Display Conditioning mode. Display conditioning mode will
not activate if there are active alarm conditions.

NOTE: Display Conditioning mode is not configurable.

Section 2: Installation
2.1 Preparing for Installation
Choose a location for the NCD that is clean, dry, and vibration-free with moderate temperature. The area should be readily accessible
with sufficient room to easily install and maintain it. There should be sufficient space for cabinet door(s) to open completely.
Carefully unpack the system and inspect for shipping damage. Count the number of conductors needed for all devices and find the appro-
priate knockouts.
Before installing the fire alarm system, read the following:
• Review the installation precautions at the front of this manual.
• Installers should be familiar with the standards and codes specified in Section 1.1 “Standards and Specifications”.
• All wiring must comply with the National and Local codes for fire alarm systems.
• Do not draw wiring into the bottom 9 inches (22.86 cm) of the cabinet except when using a separate battery cabinet; this space is for
internal battery installation.
Review installation instructions in Section 2.1 “Installation Checklist”.

WARNING: Risk of irreparable equipment damage

! Make sure to install system components in the sequence listed below. Failure to do so can damage the control panel and
other system components.

WARNING: Risk of irreparable equipment damage

! Wear a static discharge strap on wrist to prevent equipment damage.

WARNING: ADJUSTING THE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS GREATER THAN 75% WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE
! DISPLAY.

CAB-4 Series Cabinet Installation

2.3 CAB-4 Series Cabinet

This section provides instructions for mounting the CAB-4 Series backbox to a wall. Follow these guidelines when mounting the back-
box:
Locate the cabinet backbox on a surface that is in a clean, dry, vibration-free area. The top should be located so that all operational but-
tons, switches, displays, etc. are easily accessible and/or viewable to the operator - usually no more than 66 inches (1.7m.) above the
floor. Allow sufficient clearance around the cabinet for the door to swing freely, and for easy installation and maintenance of equipment.
• Use the four holes in the back surface of the backbox to provide secure mounting (See Figure 2.2, “Backbox-Mounting Holes and
chassis-Mounting Studs” on page 13).
• Mount the backbox on a surface that is in a clean, dry, vibration-free area.
• Mark and pre-drill holes for the top two keyhole mounting bolts.
• Select and punch open the appropriate knock-outs.
• Using the keyholes, mount the backbox over the two screws.
• Mark the location for the two lower holes, remove the backbox and drill the mounting holes.
• Mount the backbox over the top two screws, then install the remaining fasteners. Tighten all fasteners securely.
• Feed wires through appropriate knockouts.
• Install NCD and other components according to this section, before installing hinges and door (see CAB-3/CAB-4 Series Cabinet

Mounting the NCD on the NFS2-3030

NOTE: The Network Control display (NCD) must be installed in position one on the LEFT side of the CHS-MS for NFS2-3030 mounting

The NFS2-3030 CPU mounts in the CHS-M3 chassis located in the top row of the cabinet. The CPU will occupy the left half of the
chassis.
When using the NCD as a primary display, the NFS2-3030 CPU will need to be remounted with shorter 1/4 inch standoffs (PN 42138)
included with the NCD.
The NCD can be directly connected to the NUP port of the CPU2-3030.
When using the NCD as an alternate display on a standard Noti•Fire•Net, the panel becomes standalone and is not networkable, since
there is only one NUP port available on the NCM. If the panel is on a High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net, the panel can be networked using the
second NUP available on the HS-NCM.
The NFS2-3030 CPU should be installed according to Figure 2.3 to accommodate the NCD. If this is a retrofit, you will need to remove
the LCD Display, Keypad, and Header Pins. The CPU will be reinstalled in slot 3.
To install the NFS2-3030 CPU do the following:
• Attach three standoffs (PN 42138) to chassis as shown in
• Slide circuit-board tabs into slot 3 on the chassis.
• Place the board over the stand-offs so that mounting holes line up with those on the chassis. Secure all stand-offs with screws
provided.
• The NCD will be mounted to the dress plate, see “Dress Plate Mounting” on page 16 for more information.

EARTH GROUND.

2.4.1 Using the NCD as Primary Display on the NFS2-640 and NFS-320SYS
The NCD can be directly connected to the NUP port of the CPU2-640 or the NFS-320SYS
The NFS2-640/E and NFS-320SYS can be set up to use the NCD as the primary display.
When the NCD is used as the primary display, the KDM-R2 needs to be removed.
When using the NCD as an alternate display for the NFS2-640 or NFS-320SYS on a standard Noti•Fire•Net, the panel becomes stand-
alone and is not networkable, since there is only one NUP port available on the NCM. If the panel is on a High-Speed Noti•Fire•Net, the
panel can be networked using the second NUP available on the HS-NCM.
The NCD can only be mounted on the left side of the DP-GDIS1 dress plate, Refer to “Dress Plate Mounting” on page 16 for NCD
mounting.

NOTE: If the NFS2-640/E, or NFS-320SYS and NCD are being used as a stand-alone pair, each device must be programmed using
VeriFire Tools. Connect the VeriFire Tools PC to NFS2-640 or NFS-320SYS using USB B Port J3 and program as described in VeriFire
Tools on-line help.

NOTE: For older PCs without USB connectors, NFS2-640/E, or NFS-320SYS and NCD must be temporarily disconnected and separately
programmed, because VeriFire Tools also uses the network/service port. Follow VeriFire Tools instructions for off-line programming mode.

• Locate the four mounting studs on the dress plate.
• Locate the two ground screw standoffs on the dress plate.
• Line up mounting holes on the NCD with the mounting studs on the dress plate with the screen facing out.
• Secure the NCD to the dress plate using the four #4-40 nuts to fasten the NCD to the dress plate.
• Install Ground Screws on the dress plate using two #6-32 screws.

NOTE: It is important to secure ground screws on both the Core (top) and DIM (bottom) board for proper operation.
