2.0 D8024/D10024A Overview
D8024
The Radionics D8024 is an expandable analog Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) that provides point identification
through addressable analog devices.
Each D8024 has two expansion slots to accommodate plug-in polling circuit modules. Each module supports
126 analog addresses, giving the panel a potential of 252 addressable points. Flexibility in system design allows
the option of grouping device points together and identifying them as one location or zone in order to simplify
system operation.
The front panel display has LED status displays showing power, trouble, supervisory, alarm and reset conditions
in addition to an 80-character alphanumeric LCD annunciator that provides programmed device point
information.
Active devices are identified through custom text and LEDs at the Front Panel Display and at the annunciators.
The Fire System Controller built into the front panel display provides total system control. Its keypads allow event
viewing, device control and installation and end user programming. It has four System Control keys to silence
alarms, silence trouble sounders, initiate a drill and reset the system.
The D8024 has two on-board notification appliance circuits that can be expanded with an addressable NAC
module. These circuits are programmable with specific alarms (patterns) and timed output.
The panel polls devices regularly for levels of contamination.
Device levels that exceed the service threshold result in a service message rather than an alarm. The system
supports “drift compensation” for slightly dirty devices.
The “day/night” sensitivity program allows an increased sensitivity level during periods of reduced occupancy,
resulting in increased security and reduced likelihood of alarm errors.
The system can be programmed at the site using the on-board programming software.
The panel stores all events in its memory logger (up to 500 events), recording the time, date, event and point ID
for each event. Events include alarms, restorals, trouble and system status events. The events stored in memory
can be retrieved and displayed at the panel.
D10024A
The Radionics D10024A Analog Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) provides point identification through
integrated, addressable analog devices.
Each D10024A has five expansion slots to accommodate polling circuit modules. Each module supports 126
analog addresses, giving the panel a potential of 630 addressable points. Flexibility in system design allows the
option of grouping device points together and identifying them as one location or zone, further expanding the
system coverage.
The front panel display has status LEDs showing power, trouble, alarm, and reset conditions, plus an 80-
character alphanumeric LCD annunciator that provides programmed device point information.
The Fire System Controller built into the front panel display provides total system control. Its keypads allows
event viewing, device control, and installation and end user programming. It has four system control keys to
silence alarms, reset detectors, and reset the system. Reporting devices are identified through custom text and
LEDs at the front panel display and at the annunciators.
The D10024A has four on-board circuits for indicating devices and supports up to 100 programmable and
addressable remote indicating circuits for auxiliary control. These circuits are programmable for specific alarm
patterns and timed output.
The panel polls devices regularly for levels of contamination. Device levels that exceed the service threshold
result in a service message rather than an alarm.
The “day/night” sensitivity program allows an increased sensitivity level during periods of reduced occupancy,
resulting in increased security and reduced likelihood of alarm errors.
The system can be programmed at the site using the “on-board” programming software.
The Panel stores up to 500 events in its memory logger recording the time, date, event and point ID for each
event.
Events include alarms, restorals, trouble and system status events. The events stored in memory can be
retrieved and displayed at the panel.

2.2 Level Definition
•The D8024 and D10024A Fire Alarm Control Panels have three user control levels.
•At all three levels, the LED Displays indicate the condition of the installation, the Zone LED Displays indicate
the location of any fire alarm or trouble and the alphanumeric display gives more detailed fire alarm or
trouble information.
•At USER LEVEL 1, all the displays are functional but the front panel control keys are inhibited.
•At USER LEVEL 2, all front panel controls are functional and some system operation parameters and
functions can be changed. User Level 2 is reached by entering a password from level 1.
•At USER LEVEL 3, all front panel controls are functional and full system configuration and programming are
possible. User Level 3 is reached by entering a password from either Level 1 or Level 2. User Level 3 is
intended for use by the system installer / maintenance contractor.
2.3 User Passwords
•Up to ten USER LEVEL 2 passwords can be programmed into the panel.
•The USER LEVEL 2 passwords can be assigned / changed at Level 3 by the installer / maintenance
contractor. Level 2 passwords do not allow access to Level 3 functions.
The Default Level 2 password is 1234. At initialization, only one Level 2 password is enabled.
The Level 3 password is 9898. This password cannot be changed. To ensure panel security,
do not set a Level 2 password to be the same as the Level 3 password.

3.1.3 System Control LED Indications
•The Level 1 LED
Indicators are divided into
two sections.
•The upper array of LED
Indicators shows the
operational conditional of
the panel and the
installation.
•The lower array of Zone
LED Indicators shows the
location of a fire alarm or
trouble. Figure 4: System Control LED Display
•The standard Zone LED Indicators provide identification for up to 20 zones. On the D10024A panel, this can
be extended by adding either a further 20 zones (to give a total of 40 zones) or a further 60 zones (to give a
total of 80 zones).
•The LED Indicators illuminate as red, yellow or green to give a clear indication of the panel status as follows:
Indicator Color Function How to Clear
Blank
ALARM Red The panel has detected a fire
alarm condition, or the ‘Fire
Drill’ key has been pressed.
Correct the condition causing the alarm
and then perform a panel reset.
System Trouble Yellow A trouble has been detected by the
panel.
Correct the condition causing the trouble and
then perform a panel reset.
Trouble Silenced Yellow A trouble has been acknowledged
and the internal buzzer silenced.
Correct the condition causing alarm or
trouble and then perform a manual reset.
NOTE: If another alarm or trouble occurs, the
internal buzzer automatically resounds.
Point Bypassed Yellow Part of the system, either input or
