1.0  Fixed Items in Firmware 
Version V2.07 
The D9400 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) 
V2.07 fixes two bugs: 
 
When the Drill button was pressed, only the 
Local Notification Appliance Circuits would 
activate. This has been corrected, and the 
DS9484 Remote NAC supply also activates. 
 
In Firmware Version V2.06, a bug was created 
when silencing a multiple output module 
(DS9488/B or DS9489/B), causing some outputs 
not to silence. This worked correctly in other 
firmware versions, but worked incorrectly when 
changing the silence priority feature. 
2.0  Fixed Items in Firmware 
Version 2.06 
Version 2.06 firmware for the DS9400 Series Fire 
alarm Control Panels (FACP) incorporates a change 
to Preassigned Zone 61 and a bug fix for Outputs 
assigned to Silencable points. 
 
Preassigned Zone 61 – General Water flow 
(Silencable) has been changed to a Non-
Silencable Zone type. 
 
Preassigned Zone 53 – General Fire alarm 
(Silencable) has been fixed so that a Non-
Silencable point will take priority over a 
Silencable point. 
1.
 
This condition may happen when both 
Silencable and Non-Silencable points are 
mapped to the same output. 
2.
 
Version 2.05 and prior would configure the 
output to Silencable or Non-Silencable 
depending on the last event type activated.  
Upgrade Information 
 
 
If this firmware is installed in a control 
panel that has been running version 1.x 
software, it is necessary to erase the old 
programming in the control panel and re-
select the control panel type when the 
control panel is first powered up. Be 
careful to select “1-DS9400”- an incorrect 
selection cannot be undone.
 
3.0  Fixed Items in Firmware 
Version 2.05 
Version 2.05 firmware for the DS9400 Series Fire 
Alarm Control Panels (FACP) incorporates a bug fix 
for auto-programming and updates the panel to 
work with the DS9431 with V1.04 ROM or later. 
 
Auto-programming.  
1.
 
When selecting a device type of I/O, the 
first address programs correctly but if any 
device option is selected other than “no 
device,” the second address results in an 
“Address Error 2.” This V2.05 ROM fixes 
this issue. 
2.
 
The Auto-program feature of the DS9400 
with V2.04 ROM does not work properly if 
a DS9431 V1.04 MUX driver or later is 
installed. The DS9400 with V2.05 ROM is 
backwards compatible with V1.04 and 
earlier versions of the DS9431. 
4.0  Fixed Items in Firmware 
Version 2.04 
Version 2.04 firmware for the DS9400 Series Fire 
Alarm Control Panels (FACP) incorporates several 
new features and improvements: 
 
Gentex™ Sync Protocol. The control panel can 
now send Gentex protocol to Gentex 
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) devices. 
Gentex NAC devices can be added directly to 
the NAC circuits without a sync module. 
 
CleanMe®. The control panel recognizes the 
Clean-Me signal from Detection System’s F220 
Series Smoke Detectors. If the smoke detectors 
get dirty, a signal is sent on the two-wire loop, 
and the control panel will annunciates that there 
is a dirty detector on the loop.
