Napco MA1016E 24 Hour Zone question

[Mike P]

It's been a long time since I have programmed one of these. I have installed the panel keypad and three low temp sensors(programmed as 24 hour zones). All is working fine, except I can't remember how to display a 24 hour zone thats in alarm on the keypad. I think I remember you can't. Anybody know the programming of this panel?

Thanks,

Mike

That panel has been around since the 70's or 80's if I remember correctly (but I think it is still in production). I dont know the answer to your question, however, if you dont have an answer by Monday send me a PM and I will find out for you. I believe the Engineer who wrote the firmware for that panel is still around although I doubt he will know the answer off the top of his head its been so long. There are still panels running in a test lab for decades last I saw. I remember joking with a tech that they are older than him but work harder than he does.

I asked around and found a tech who remembers this panel. To get an annunciation of a 24 hour zone you need to associate the zone with an output. You can associate the zone to a keypad sounder (it is silencable). That is they only way he beleives it can be done. I could not find anyone with the time to try playing with this so there is possibly another/better option.
