Existing Database Update Procedure

Upon restoral of an existing database within The MGC Fire Detection and Mass Notification Configurator V12.1.39, the following
warning message may be issued.
In previous firmware versions the ‘NS’ Flag had two intended purposes, to prevent the resounding of signals following a subsequent
activation and to make the corresponding zone non-silenceable. To have both subsequent activation and silenceable outputs on
Supervisory and Monitor input zones the implementation of the SA flag (subsequent activation) was necessary.
The V12.1.39 Configuration software will automatically remove the NS Flag & assign the SA Flag to all applicable Monitor and
Supervisory Input zones upon restoral. Though this process is automatic, it is the installer and/or operator’s responsibility to
confirm the correct assignments following the update. For more information please refer to the ‘Signal Silence Operation’ &
Addendums included within this document.

Software V12.1.39
March, 2019
Signal Silence Operation
Activation of the Signal Silence button when the Panel is in Alarm turns on the Signal Silence Indicator and deactivates any Silencable
NACs. Non-Silencable Circuits are unaffected. Signals will re-sound upon any subsequent Alarm. This button does not function during
any configured Signal Silence Inhibit Timer period. It also does not function if the NACs are active as the result of a Fire Drill.
The NS (Non-Silencable) Flag is intended as an inhibitor to the Signal Silence command in accordance to certain jurisdictions
whereby silencing of audible and/or visual notification appliance circuits during a water flow type alarm may not be permitted.
Where driven by the activation of an Input Zone with a defined ‘NS’ Flag, audible and/or visual notification circuits shall continue to
operate following the manual activation of the Signal Silence Switch. Only visual and audible notification circuits driven by Silencable
Input Zones (No NS Flag defined) shall be silenced.
It is advised that the NS Flag not be defined directly to the notification appliance circuit(s).
As a result of the changes to the operation of the NS (Non-Silencable) Flag following a FleXNet V12.1.39 update, the configuration
of the notification appliance circuits (NAC’S) must be programmed in accordance to the applicable signal silence operation
outlined below.
➢ Basic Signal Silence Operation

A Basic Signal Silence Operation is considered to be any system whereby activation of the Signal Silence switch following
receipt of an alarm is uninhibited.
Refer to page 12 for programing and configuration
➢ Modified Signal Silence Operation

A Modified Signal Silence Operation is considered to be any system whereby activation of the Signal Silence switch
following receipt of an alarm is partially inhibited whereas the Audible are inhibited and the Visual signal remain
uninhibited.
➢ Non-Silencable Water Flow Operation

A Non-Silencable Water Flow Operation is considered to be any system whereby activation of a water flow alarm shall
inhibit the signal silencing of Audible and/or Visual signals.
➢ Modified Non-Silencable Water Flow Operation

A Modified Non-Silencable Water Flow Operation is considered to be any system whereby activation of the Signal Silence
switch following receipt of a Non-Water Flow alarm is partially inhibited by which the Audible signals become inactive and
the Visual signals shall remain unimpeded the activation of a water flow alarm shall inhibit the signal silencing of Audible
and/or Visual signals.

Addendum A
S.A. Flag Implementation for Supervisory/Monitor Input Zones
Subsequent activation following or during an active Signal Silence status is only inherent to the Alarm Input Zone. For Applications
where a Supervisory or Monitor Input Zone(s) are used to drive audible and/or visual signaling devices, an ‘SA’ Flag must be defined
to support this operation.
Example,
The SA Flag implementation is intended to support applications whereby Smoke/CO detectors providing local alarms are used in lieu
of Smoke Alarms within dwelling units.
The SA Flag, when defined to a Supervisory or Monitor Input Zone, shall allow the zone to cancel an active Signal Silence status and
resound the notification appliance circuits. Therefore, it is advised that this flag be enabled on any Input Zone of Supervisory or
Monitor type which is used to drive activation of audible and/or visual signaling devices.
The ‘SA’ (Subsequent Activation) Flag is definable via the F5 column to Supervisory & Monitor Input Zones within the MGC Fire
Detection and Mass Notification Configurator v12.1.39, or later.
If upgrading an existing system to v12.1.39 or later, ensure the ‘SA’ (Subsequent Activation) Flag is set to any
Supervisory and/or Monitor zone(s) driving the activation of Audible/Visual Notification appliance circuits
