Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting
cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit
until manuals are read and understood.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a
10% voltage drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning
induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding
will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby
lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Support Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer,
or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure and
difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any
circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies
removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
The equipment must be correctly programmed and installed to suit the specific application. Please ensure correct
operational parameters are set prior to commissioning. If further details on programming options are required, please consult
the programming manual or contact our helpful technical support personnel.
EMC Warning:
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) tests are performed in accordance with Class A requirements of AS/NZS CISPR

Introduction to the Control Panel General Information
1.3 Introduction to the Control Panel
The AFP-3030 is an intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with features suitable for most
applications.
There are two basic configuration options for the AFP-3030.
With Display
In this configuration, the panel comes fitted with a front display/keypad, which allows
programming and viewing options at the panel. This manual gives programming instructions using
the front display/keypad.
Displayless Mode
In Displayless Mode, no keypad/display is fitted at the panel, and it is controlled by remote
annunciators. VeriFire™ Tools programming is required. Refer to VeriFire™ Tools for information
on programming without an AFP-3030 display/keypad. A PC is required when using VeriFire™
Tools.
1.3.1 Programming Features
• Ease of use - field program the control panel without special software skills.
• Local programming - program directly from the control panel keypad to reduce installation
time.
• PC programming - input long data entry programming information on a PC; transfer
programming data between a PC and the control panel.
• Autoprogram option - automatically detect newly installed, addressable devices, allowing
quicker installation.
• Security - use passwords to control access to the control panel and protect programming.
• Large display option - 640 character screen, 16 lines x 40 characters
1.4 Navigating Menu and Programming Screens
The Main Menu (refer to Figure 2.1) leads to screens with various menu and programming options.
Choices may be made from the menu screens by pressing the soft key closest to the menu option.
Appendix A, “ Menu Hierarchy” gives the programming menu hierarchy; refer to this appendix for
an overall view of the layout of the screens.
Field information may be added/modified using the keyboard and special function keys.
Arrow keys on the keyboard can be used to navigate between fields on a screen if there are no soft
keys to select the fields.
Scrolling through a list of selections in a screen field can be performed either by repeatedly
pressing the associated soft key, or by pressing the Next Selection/Previous Selection special
function keys on the Display/Keypad.
Pressing a BACK soft key on a screen returns the programmer to the previous screen without saving
the information entered.
Pressing an ACCEPT soft key will save the information entered on the screen. It may also return to
the previous screen and/or perform other functions as described in the soft key section for each
screen.
When the FACP can not read an address (that is, if the point entered on the screen for processing
does not exist) it will display an error screen for several seconds, then return to the screen where the
address was entered. The user must check his input and investigate the state of the point.

General Information Basic Procedure
1.5 Basic Procedure
For initial programming of the panel, or for major changes and additions, the following basic
procedure is recommended to prevent errors resulting in reprogramming and wasted time.
• Use work sheets to record the exact information for every detector, module, annunciator point
and software zone in the system. Pay close attention to the Software Type IDs. The panel
program may also be created using VeriFire™ Tools and downloaded to the panel after
assembly and power-up.
• Assemble and apply power to the control panel as described in this panel’s installation manual.
All system boards must be physically installed.
• Read this manual before programming.
• Enter/change master and user passwords.
• Enter panel and network parameters.
• Program all devices and thoroughly test the entire system. The Walk Test feature can be used to
test devices and their programming.
• Make a hard-copy record of the program on the printer.
• Save the program by uploading it using VeriFire™ Tools.
1.6 Getting Started
Once the system has been physically installed, programming may begin. The user may program at
any time except while there is an unacknowledged alarm present.
To ensure security, passwords should be entered at this time to replace the factory default settings.
1.6.1 Password Change
The AFP-3030 has two password levels: master and user. There is one master password, which
grants access to all system programming. There are nine user passwords, each of which may be
assigned access to the programming change menus, the alter status menus, or both. A user
password does not give access to or allow change to any password parameters, not even its own.
Only the master password will allow access to password change screens.
The panel arrives with factory default settings of 00000000 for the master password, and 11111111
for one user password.

Walk Test allows the user to test the entire fire alarm system while away from the control panel.
There are two types of Walk Test - Basic and Advanced - and each type operates in audible mode.
Walk Test results are sent to the printer and to Event History as “Test”. In Network applications,
specific nodes can be excluded from having the ability to force the fire panel out of Walk Test. This
is programmable via VeriFire Tools. Refer to the VeriFire Tools help file.
IMPORTANT!
• Prior to Walk Test, secure all protected buildings, and notify the building owner/operator,
fire department, and other pertinent personnel that testing is in progress.
• Immediately after Walk Test is completed, notify the same people that testing is complete
and the system is restored to normal operation. Reconnect releasing devices.
• Walk Test will “time out” and return to normal operation after one hour when no Walk Test
activations have occurred during that time.
• Walk Test may be exited at any time by pressing the ABORT soft key on the screen.
!
CAUTION:
WHEN A DISABLED OUTPUT IS ENABLED, IT WILL BE AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS EXISTING
IN THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD NORMALLY AFFECT IT. THAT IS, IF A CONDITION EXISTS
THAT WOULD HAVE TURNED THE OUTPUT ON WERE IT ENABLED, IT WILL TURN ON WHEN
IT IS ENABLED.
NOTE: When an input or output point associated with releasing functions is disabled, a single
supervisory fault will be generated.
!
WARNING:
DO NOT RELY ON DISABLE TO DISABLE RELEASING POINTS DURING TESTING. RELEASING
POINTS MUST BE PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED.
!
WARNING:
PHYSICALLY DISCONNECT ALL RELEASING DEVICES BEFORE STARTING WALK TEST. IT IS
NOT SUFFICIENT TO DISABLE IN ANY OTHER MANNER.
!
WARNING:
WALK TEST MODE CAN DEACTIVATE FIRE PROTECTION. OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS.

Main Menu and Event Counts Screen The Main Menu
Basic Walk Test - The basic test allows a single operator to run audible tests on the panel. All logic
equation automation is suspended during the test. All ACS devices will default to Disable. They
may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the Walk Test Menu
screen (Figure 2.5).
Advanced Walk Test - The advanced test allows field-supplied output point programming that will
react to input stimuli such as CBE and logic equations. When points are activated in advanced
testing, each initiating event will latch the input. Release of the latch and subsequent activation of
the next point is controlled through use of the NEXT TEST soft key. All ACS devices default to
disable. They may be enabled by selecting NO at the DISABLE ACS BOARDS soft key on the
Walk Test Menu screen (Figure 2.5). An advanced test is audible.
An audible test is intended for manual call point verification, magnet-activated tests on input
devices, input and output device and wiring operation/verification. Only devices previously
configured to participate and designated as part of the test through the following screens will make

FlashScan poll mode - Once the START TEST soft key has been pressed:
• Each intelligent addressable input device will blink its address in red, and each intelligent
addressable output device will blink its address in green. Pattern examples are given below.
• An input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady green for the duration of the test. If
the device is put in fault (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the LED
will be latched on for the duration of the test.
• An output device activated in Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow steady
green for
– 4 seconds for alarms
– 8 seconds for faults.
• An output device activated in Advanced Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green until the NEXT TEST soft key is pressed.
CLIP poll mode - Once the START TEST soft key has been pressed:
• Intelligent addressable input and output devices continue to blink red as usual until activated.
• An input device activated in Walk Test latches on steady red during activation. If the device is
put in fault (for instance, the detector head is removed, then replaced), the LED will be latched
on for the duration of the test.
• An output device activated during Basic Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green (if a FlashScan module) or steady red (if a CLIP module) for
– 4 seconds for alarms
NOTE: Walk Test will not start if any devices are active (i.e., fire alarms, supervisories or
prealarms). To perform a walk test while a device is active, disable the device and press the
System Reset button.
NOTE: In network applications, specific nodes can be excluded from having the ability to force the
fire panel out of Walk Test due to an alarm condition. This is programmable via VeriFire Tools. Refer
to the VeriFire Tools help file.

– 8 seconds for faults.
• An output device activated in Advanced Walk Test will remain active and the LED will glow
steady green (if a FlashScan module) or steady red (if a CLIP module) until the NEXT TEST
soft key is pressed.
Conventional Devices - Monitor modules with the Type Codes SMOKE CONV, HEAT DETECT, and
SMOKE DETECT, and outputs with the Type Code FORM C RESET do not participate in Walk Test other
than blinking their addresses if they are polled in FlashScan mode unless they are used with a
FlashScan zone module. To prevent the occurrence of false alarms for conventional devices, 24 volt
power will be interrupted for up to a minute after Walk Test has been exited.
