Configuring NFPA_170 Symbols

Scenario: You want to configure and control the NFPA_170 symbols provided in the software libraries.

  1. You opened a graphic to edit in Engineering mode.
  2. You know how to create a graphical command.
  1. In the Graphic Editor, in the View tab, select the Properties and Library Browser panes.
  2. In Library Browser, select the Fire Detection and Voice libraries.
  3. The NFPA_170 symbols appear in the preview area of the pane.
  4. Some symbols are named Configurable. Configurable symbols allow you to customize them by adding specific text, such as the name of a device or panel and, optionally, its subscript. When entering custom text, ensure you enclose the text within quotation marks.
  5. For specific symbol types like Horn, Speakers, Strobes, and Visual Indicators, you can also customize their Wattage and Candela values where applicable.

    - Save the symbol as a new one
  7. Click Save to save the graphic.
  8. Repeat this procedure to add more NFPA_170 symbols as necessary.
