Vigilant VS1 and VS2 Technical Reference Manual
Adding a device to a programmed system
You can add an additional device or several devices to a system
that has already been programmed without going into
programming mode. Once the device is installed, the panel
recognizes it as a new device and indicates on the LCD display that
there is an unconfigured device with a "trouble active" event. The
device can then be programmed and added to the database.
Note:
If you are adding more than a few devices, you may want to
use the Incremental programming option, which allows you to
quickly add and label the devices to the existing database. Refer to
the "Incremental programming" section for more information.
Note:
You must be logged in with a level two password to add a
device.
Device programming options
Zone
Select the zone you want to add this device to or select Off if you are not adding the device to a
zone.
Label
Enter a text label for the device (up to 40 characters and two lines). When finished, choose
Save.
Correlation groups
Select the correlation group that you want to correlate/assign the device to. Select Yes to add
the device to the correlation group or No to not add the device to the correlation group. When
finished, choose Save.
Note:
A correlation group is a collection of NACs and/or output devices (strobe) that responds
to an input device (smoke detector). When you program the loop devices, you will have to
correlate/ assign the desired input device or zone to the correlation group that you want to
activate. Refer to "Correlation groups programming" for more information.
Event notification
Set the active, trouble, disable, prealarm, alarm verify, maintenance alert, and test event
information by choosing one and then setting the notification information. When finished,
choose Save. See "Factory default settings" for device event notification default settings.
