By default, the basic setting to establish the number of nodes (nn) will set the
control panel to activate in the repeater map (rM) the same control panels in the
firenet map. (i.e. The control panels by default will repeat all the information of all
other control panels in the fire network.)
The indications will show the logic OR function of the local indication together
with the same indication on other remote panels being repeated. If control panels
show different status, the control panel with higher priority takes precedence (i.e.
if control panel 1 has fire routing on delay and control panel 2 fire routing on, the
indication of a third panel repeater will show fire routing on).
All indications received that are not available in the repeater panel for display will
be ignored.
Examples:
• A conventional repeater panel can repeat an analogue panel and many
indications are not available for display.
• A two-zone fire control panel could be configured to repeat a four-zone
evacuation panel. Zones 3 and 4 from the evacuation panel will not be
available for display.
Conventional systems can be configured to repeat control panels status
information instead of zones status information, in the zone LED indications.
Consult the Repeater type configuration (nr) setting.
Selecting control panel commands
Select the control panel commands (e.g. reset, silence/resound sounders, panel
silence, cancelling delays) that will be local or global. This is sent to all other
control panels in its firenet map.
By default, nC is set to Yes so that controls are local but also sent to the network.
Note:
Local or global controls does not apply to disable/enable and test
commands. These are always local and sent to the control panels being
repeated. This feature provides more flexibility to configure disable/enable and
test of zones, sounders, fire routing and fire protection.
Examples: If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 and control panel 1 repeats
control panel 2, the zone 1 in control panel 2 will also be disabled (shared zone
completely disabled). If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 but control panel 2 is
not repeated, zone 1 in panel 2 will not be disabled. (This allows disabling only
part of the shared zone).
