4.3.1.1.1 State
This parameter shows the current operational status of the device. For example, this can show Normal, Reset,
Not In Use, Device Missing, etc.
This parameter cannot be changed.
4.3.1.1.2 Test Group
The luminaire should be allocated to a test group for both automatic and manual testing. Up to 50 test groups
can be used.
Within a zone or escape route, allocate alternate luminaires to different test groups. This will ensure that only a
selection of the luminaires will be tested at any one time.
Use the
number
keys to assign / change the test group for the device. By default, odd numbered addresses are
assigned to Group 1 and even numbered addresses are assigned to Group 2.
The I/O Module is not assigned to a Test Group by default (Test Group = 0).
Central battery systems typically use a single output relay to bring on the emergency power to a number of light
fittings. The Output must
be assigned to the same “Test Group” as the group of luminaires that this output
controls. The panel will then turn this output on when any of the light fittings in the same Test Group are to be
tested.
The Switch Input of the I/O Module can be programmed to a number of actions. If the action is defined as
“Group test Input” then assign the Test Group to the same “Test Group” as the group of luminaires that this
input controls. All other input actions do not use the Test Group Function and the value should be left at 0.
4.3.1.1.3 Zone
This parameter shows the Zone to which this device has been assigned. Use the
number
keys to change the
zone assigned to the device. It is recommended that this be set to the same zone number as per the fire
compartment zones for common reference.
4.3.1.1.4 Description (Device Text)
This parameter shows the 26-character location text assigned to this device. For guidance on how to change
the text, refer to Section
4.3.1.1.5 Serial Number
Each PLU is programmed with a unique serial number during manufacture. The panel does not use this number
for communicating with the device. Instead, it uses a soft address in the range 001-249. The panel, however,
keeps a record of the serial number of the device assigned to each soft address in its memory (as configured
using the Search PLU function). Normally, the serial number actually read from the device will match the serial
number in the panel's memory. In this case, the panel will indicate OK in the Readings column.
In the unusual event that the serial numbers do not match, the panel will indicate both serial numbers on the
display. This may be because, for example, the luminaire has been changed.
Use the
number
keys to enter the required PLU Serial Number for use at this soft address.
4.3.1.1.6 Type
The type field shows the device installed at the address location.
For luminaires equipped with the Lxp-302 or Lxp-304 modules, the type of fitting can be changed. Press the
✔
button to toggle between MAINTAINED and NON-MAINT.
For the Lxp-
302, the display also indicates a “reading” of whether the AC Mains Supply to the luminaire is on or
off.
