One Man Walk Test.
This function is similar to the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system
without having to continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the
‘Stop’ button can then be operated.
Test Device
This is not a true test of the device. Individual devices can be identified using this menu.
When a device is put into test the fire Led will illuminate or a sounder will sound and a relay will switch
over.
Following an Autolearn test device can be used to indicate cable routes and in what sequence the
panel has numbered the devices etc.
On v3.0 software Next/Previous has been added to enable the user to navigate this function more
easily also the relay of an I/O device will change state.
Auto Learn.
FIG 3
This is the process of addressing the devices on the loop. The process starts telling every device to
open its Isolator. It then numbers the first device and tells this to close its isolator, the next device is
interrogated and given the next number this continues until all devices are numbered in sequence.
On version software (v 3.0 introduced August 07), Autolearn by loop has been introduced. This allows
a second loop to be learned without having to relearn Loop 1.
If a second loop controller is installed then the option to learn loops 3 & 4 individually is displayed.
Pre-Addressed Autolearn
has been added. This allows the engineer to Pre-Address the loop
devices in any sequence using a hand held programmer. (CF800) Once the system is installed, pre-
addressed autolearn only interrogates the devices without renumbering and saves the device list in
memory.
Note This method does not support holes in the numbering system.
Maintenance Autolearn
is a recent addition from Display 3.3.50.44 dated 20/7/12 and loop version
3.2.4.51 which has been added to support the Hybrid devices.
A hybrid is a device taking 1 address that supports up to 32 Radio Fire devices. The hybrid can be
added directly to the number sequence but its associated radio devices can ONLY be added using
the Autolearn. Clearly this is not acceptable on established systems therefore the maintenance
autolearn has been developed. When this feature is initiated:
1. It supports holes.
2. It supports the Hybrid by putting Radio devices attached to it at the end of the loop.
3. It will address a device with a 254 and place it into the next available address or at the end of
the loop whichever is available.
4. It will leave the zoning and text information alone.
5. Most importantly it will not alter the cause and effect of the existing devices.
