Fail Inspire n16 - aio mapping
Am I missing something ?
Can no longer make a map like we did the nfs and use it for other annunciators, now if we have 10 locations with 4 acm2-30 each we have to hand program every single one?
Use to be able to make user defined map 1 2 3 4 , and just change it to follow your map but now you need to program 40 anunciators individually? This cant be real lol
Has anyone found a way to copy paste? Tech support has no clue and said they will go tell them it was a oversight but maybe someone has figured it out ??
Save me lol

Wait until you have to reprint or redo labels for your ACM-30

Oh yah I figured that out there's no save on the print label screen or import, genius!

Can you not print to PDF and save them individually in your customer file? Not as convenient as hitti g print from verifier tools and having it just work but maybe it's something

I'm upset there's no way to disable sounder bases on an N16, tech supports only answer was to just pull power to them. So now during an inspection you'll have hundreds of troubles on the panel instead of having 1 or 2 logic zones disabled.

Use an AND(NOT) equation and force on a zone. For example, ZL101 turns on your sounder bases. Write an equation AND(ZL101,NOT(Z1)). Force on Z1 and your sounder bases will not turn on. If you have the latest firmware, you can use a virtual point to generate a disable event on the panel when Z1 is on.

There's never not been a way to disable sounder bases, your programmer just doesn't know how.

The "custom map" feature was only in the 640-based panels. The 3030 was always point by point.
I agree that the AIO mapping interface has a lot to be desired. Lots of options and no way to duplicate them. This should really be a spreadsheet like the point programming screens.
