CAST XFP 32 ZONE ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL
ENGINEER FUNCTIONS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the ENGINEER FUNCTIONS menu. As a rule, pressing the
Escape
3
button when in a submenu will return you to the ENGINEER FUNCTIONS menu.
SET/CLEAR DISABLEMENTS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the disablements submenu which allows you to enable/disable
zones, sounders, outputs, relays, loop devices, the panel’s fault relay and output delays.
Any disablement(s) will be indicated at all access levels via the DISPLAY DISABLEMENTS menu option
and the General Disablement LED on the front of the panel.
CAUTION: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT ALL DISABLEMENTS ARE REGULARLY
REVIEWED AND IMMEDIATELY ENABLED WHEN NO LONGER NECESSARY AS THEY CAN
HAVE A MAJOR AFFECT ON HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.
ENABLE/DISABLE ZONES
This function allows you to disable zones from reporting faults, fires, etc., and may be used to
temporarily disable a zone of devices in areas such as loading bays that are prone to nuisance triggering
from vehicle fumes.
Enter AL3 (4444) > Engineer Functions > Set/Clear Disablements > Enable/Disable Zones.
When selected, press the Accept
4
button and a window similar to below will appear:
Select the zone (1 to 32 or ALL) to be disabled/enabled using the
5
and
6
scroll buttons, then press
the Accept
4
button and the zone’s status (Enabled or Disabled) will flash. Next, press the
5
and
6
scroll buttons to toggle between enabled and disabled and press the Accept
4
button to select. The
window will now move to the next available zone allowing further enablements or disablements to be
made. Alternatively, to return to the previous menu press the Escape
3
button.
Note: If all input devices on a zone have been disabled using the ENABLE/DISABLE DEVICES function
detailed on page 37, the zone they belong to will also be disabled. If you try to re-enable a zone which
has no enabled devices on it, a prompt appears saying this cannot be done. Instead you MUST enable
at least one device on the zone using the ENABLE/DISABLE DEVICES function before re-enabling the
zone itself.
Zone: 1: Loading Bay
Enabled
RESTART THE LOOP
This function may be used, for example, if there is a problem with a missing device, or a device not
closing its s/c isolator.
Enter AL3 (4444) > Engineer Functions > Restart the Loop.
When selected, chose the loop to restart (1 or 2 or ALL) using the
5
and
6
scroll buttons and press
the Accept
4
button. A window similar to the one below will appear:
The panel will power down the loop, re-initialize the loop devices and automatically return to the
ENGINEER FUNCTIONS menu.
