1.7 GROUP OF ZONES
The group of zones is an abstract entity composed of a set of zones.
Each zone can be associated with each group of zones, without any limitation. Each zone can be associated with as
many groups of zones as the user wants at the same time. Therefore, different groups can share zones.
FAP54 control panel provides the user with
240 groups of zones.
It is possible to associate up to 50 zones with each group.
Moreover, up to 50 output modules can be associated with each group of zones, and each module can be
associated with more than one group at the same time.
Each group of zones can be configured with either one of these operating modes:
fire alarm
technological
Each operating mode leads to a certain number of modes of activation of the alarm condition; it is possible to assign
a 32 characters name to each group of zones.
1.8 OPERATING MODES OF ZONES AND GROUPS
Each zone, group of devices or group of zones can be programmed with one of the following operating modes:
Fire
:
when an alarm occurs, all the output modules, the fire alarm signalling outputs (siren outputs), alarm relays and
indicators are enabled according to the alarm level of the control panel.
This mode is represented by the following acronym: FR.
Technological
:
when an alarm occurs, all the output modules are enabled according to the alarm level of the control
panel. The fire alarm signalling outputs (siren outputs) are never enabled.
This mode is represented by the following acronym: TN.
1.9 OPERATING MODES
Each zone, group of devices and group of zones can be programmed to switch to the alarm condition with the siren
output enabled or not.
The siren output, in turn, is activated when one or more detectors detect an alarm condition or because of the
expiration of an activation timer, according to the programming mode of the zone or group.
The alarm condition with siren output disabled is characterized by:
buzzer activated
fire alarm LED blinking
alarm relay activated
siren relay deactivated
siren output deactivated
The alarm condition with siren output enabled is characterized by:
buzzer activated
fire alarm LED steady ON
alarm relay activated
siren relay activated
siren output activated
