14.0 System Events Option
•
System Events provide a flexible way of performing more complex cause-and-effect programming than that
available from the standard zonal ringing. Most systems do not require system events.
•
Individual detectors can be made to generate system events.
Entry via a PC is strongly recommended if many detectors are to generate events. (Refer to the PC
Programming Manual for further information). If there are only a small number to enter, then this can
be done directly from the “Device” change option on any of the loops.
•
Event numbers can be any number from 1 to 200. Event number 0 is used to denote an “unused” event
input or output.
•
The events can be shared over a network of panels if required by setting the Network, System Events to be
“[Global]”.
•
For example, say the operation of a call-point on panel 1 on loop 2, address 3 in one building is required to
energize an extract fan connected to relay 2 on panel 6. The steps to achieve this would be
-
At panel 1, add an arbitrary system event number (Say 20) to the call-point.
-
At panel 6, allocate the extract fan output to system event 20.
-
Check that both panels have the Network option set for System events to be global.
•
Most system events are latched and held until the panel is reset. Transient system events will automatically
be removed once the device that caused the event is restored to its normal condition.
•
Input devices with action set to "Non-latched" create transient events. A transient event is held local to the
panel of origin - it is not transmitted over the network.

Event Modes

Press

to select the ‘Events’ option from Page 3 of the commission menus.
The display shows the event
options available:
•
All System Events apart from the “General” events are normally programmed on a PC.
14.1.1
General Events
•
This option allows special system-event operation on several general functions as shown below. Any item
set to event “0” means that this item is not in use.
General System Event Name
When the event is generated
Trouble Event
Detection of a fault
Pre-Alarm Event
Any detector entering a pre-alarm condition
Delayed Day mode Event
Detection of a fire in a delayed-day mode
Local Fire Event
Any detector connected to the panel entering a fire
condition
Common Fire Event
Any panel connected to a Master entering a fire
condition.
Silence Event (1)
When the external alarms are silenced
Simple Co-incidence Event
When
any 2 devices enter a fire condition. (This is
independent of device type).
AC Fail Event
When the AC fail timer has expired (1 minute)
Reset Event (2)
Generated when the panel is reset.
Table 17: General System Events
The silence event is automatically created as non-latching. The event is removed when silence is
canceled (e.g. by re-sounding the alarms or resetting the panel).
A reset event is transient. It is removed 15 seconds after the panel has reset.
