4.3.1.1 Current device status
The operating status of the device can be:
•
NEW
: the device is new to the system. It needs to be saved. The main motherboard recognises the physical presence of a
device that is not included in the system configuration. The new device must be added to the system configuration in order
to communicate with the panel, receive alarm or fault messages, enable and receive indications, etc. The new device can
be added to the system configuration by pressing SAVE.
Note: the device is called NEW in two cases:
1. A device has been physically added to the hardware configuration of the system. Use the “SAVE” button (e.g. when a Loop
expansion is added to the system configuration).
2. A device has been removed from the system configuration (“REMOVE” button), but is still listed in the hardware
configuration (it has not physically been removed). The panel will recognise that the device is present, even if it is not part
of the system configuration, therefore the device will be “NEW” to the panel.
•
NORMAL
: the device is working properly.
•
FAULT
: the device is not responding. The panel regularly communicates with the periphery devices to receive information
regarding their current status and for self-diagnostics purposes. If there is no communication between the panel and a
periphery device, the device is considered to be in Fault condition. This indication may also occur if a periphery device is
removed from the hardware configuration (uninstalled) without having first been removed from the system configuration
(software). For this reason, when a periphery device is physically removed, it must ALWAYS be removed from the
programming using the “REMOVE” button.
Note: periphery device fault message receipt is displayed with a 60-70 sec. delay.
•
TYPE ERROR:
- a device, other than the one saved, has been detected at the same address. To change the type, it must
first be removed from the system configuration (use the “REMOVE” button) and then wait for the system to detect and
announce the new periphery device found. Save the new device type using the “SAVE” button. The “FIX” button can also
be used to change the periphery type quickly.
4.3.1.2 Adding a new periphery device to the configuration
When a new periphery device (not in the configuration) is detected, the following message will appear: “
NEW PERIPHERY
DEVICES FOUND
”, along with the number of devices detected. Press SAVE
to add the new periphery devices to the panel configuration. If a device does not respond, you can remove it by pressing
REMOVE.
