PC CONFIGURATION
The FUSION PC Configuration program enables a system to be programmed via a PC to operate in
accordance with specific requirements, and includes options for zonal sounder operation, 2-stage
and coincidence functions, selective output device operation, etc.
The program also enables device types to be programmed, devices to be assigned to zones, and
device location text to be entered. In addition devices can be assigned to groups.
Configuration files are created via the PC program and downloaded to the on board processor. This
program will affect the way that the panel functions and could result in a system operation that does
not comply with British Standards and/or the specification. The fact that there are no faults indicated
does not necessarily infer compliance. Therefore, persons using this program should be in
possession of the full system information, and should be familiar with the procedures described in
this manual before attempting to create or edit a configuration program.
It is assumed that users of the PC Configuration program are experienced fire alarm system
engineers with basic computer skills. It is recommended that the configuration program is copied
from the CD or Flash memory stick on which it is supplied, to the machine’s hard disc, using the
installation routing “SETUP.EXE”
Configuration options
On a new project there are basically two ways of loading the required configuration data into the
panel.
If the initialisation procedures described previously are carried out, the program from the panel can
be read into the configuration program and edited as required, e.g. group assignments, etc., by using
the ‘Read panel data’ option.This method ensures that the device information is correct, i.e. the
device type programmed for each address matches the installed device.
Preferably, a configuration file can be created via the PC program and downloaded to the on board
processor. If this method is chosen, the programmer must ensure that the device details entered into
the program match the installation.Newly created or edited files can be saved to disk for record
purposes, and the data can be subsequently retrieved for editing. To retrieve a file from disk, select
'Load an existing project file' option and follow the on-screen prompts.
The 'Create a new project ' option is selected to display the client data and the ‘edit’ screen where a
configuration program is created or edited before being saved and/or downloaded.
Finally, the configuration file can be printed as a hard copy record of the system program.
