The board is designed for continuous, supervised operation, meaning it constantly monitors the integrity of its connected circuits. Any open circuits, short circuits, or ground faults on the NACs connected to the extender board will be reported back to the main fire alarm control panel as a trouble condition, allowing for prompt identification and resolution of issues.
