3.7 Communicator
Operation
The FPD-7024 contains an integrated
communicator that can be optionally enabled to
send reports to a monitoring station. When
enabled, operation of the communicator is fully
automatic.
You must enable and configure the
communicator before it works. The
communicator and phone line monitors
are disabled in the default factory
configuration.
To disable a phone number, set the
FORMAT to 0=disable. To completely
disable the communicator, set FORMAT
to 0=disable for both phone numbers, and
set MONITOR to 0=NO for both phone
lines.
Do not install this control panel on a
phone line that might be required for
other emergency use.
When events occur, the communicator sends them
to the monitoring station in priority order according
to NFPA requirements. Fire and waterflow alarms
are sent first, followed by supervisory alarms and
trouble reports and then all other reports. Priority
reporting can send a Restoral report after several
alarm reports in a situation where a point sends
multiple alarms, implying that a point is restored
when it has returned to alarm. The following
sequence, (alarm, restore, alarm) is sent as (alarm,
alarm, restore) when priority sorting is applied.
Priority sorting on events sent to a
monitoring station can cause the
message sequence to imply that a point is
restored when it is not.
The communicator can store 32 events while
waiting for the monitoring station to accept the
events. If more than 32 reportable events occur
before the monitoring station accepts events, some
event information is lost and a Data Lost report is
sent to the central station.
The FPD-7024’s communicator is equipped with a
line seizure relay to prevent interference with
outgoing event reports. In a system where the fire
communicator shares the phone line with other
equipment on the premises, the phone line might
be unavailable to the other equipment for up to 15
min has a fault with the central station acceptance
of the event data. Phone lines for fire control
panels must not be shared with other equipment.
4.0 Programming
After any programming change, and
especially after remote programming
changes, completely check the operation
of the control panel. Hazards to life and
property can result if the system is not
tested to detect possible improper
programming.
When programming the system, enter
only valid types of information within the
ranges specified in the programming
table. Incorrect programming results in
improper system operation. When using
built-in programming, invalid input values
might not be rejected in every case.
Ensure that you enter only the intended
values while programming to prevent
improper system operation
