Abstract
A notification appliance that communicates with a fire alarm control panel is provided. The notification appliance includes a grouping input device that is configured to receive operator input grouping information (such as a manual input from the operator). The operator input grouping information may be indicative of at least one grouping for the notification appliance in the fire alarm system, such as a type of grouping (e.g., “mass notification” or “fire alarm notification”) or a number indicative of a grouping (e.g., in a system with groupings from 1 to 8, the number may be selected from 1 to 8). The grouping input device may be a switch (such as an electromechanical switch), a jumper, a dial (or other movable control knob), or other manual input device. Or, the grouping input device may comprise a device which is configured to receive a wireless input from the operator. In this way, the grouping of the notification appliance may be configured at the notification appliance itself, rather than require programming at the fire alarm control panel.
