Description
Sensitivity/AVF
There are four sensitivity levels for each point. This option allows the user to set the
sensitivity of devices using the following options.
Sensitivity point: - Enter the point address. The current sensitivity is displayed, and can be
changed. Scroll to select the next point address.
AVF (Fire) point: - With alarm verification enabled, smoke must be present for a period
before the sensor gives an alarm. Enter the point address. The setting (AVF on or off) is
displayed, which can be changed. Scroll to select the next point address.
Note:
The AVF setting for a fault condition is Global, not individual.
Zones
Allocate Z-loop devices to a zone, or remove devices from a zone. Enter the zone number.
The first point address, and number of devices in the zone is displayed. Scroll to view the
other point addresses in the zone. To add a new device to the zone, enter a new point
address. To delete an existing device, display its point address and press the F1 key.
Messages
Create or edit identification messages for each point address. In the "Edit" mode, the panel
keyboard keys are used. Messages can be up to 40 characters in length. Options are
provided to delete messages.
Sounder
Create a list of sensors that are fitted with sounder bases (SAB). A current list is shown,
which can be scrolled. To add a new sensor, enter the point address. To delete a sounder
base entry, use the F1 key.
Detector test
Enable or disable the self test function of each sensor. Enter the point address. The screen
indicates whether the self-test is on or off. To edit a new sensor, enter the address or scroll.
Point type
This allows the device type at the point address to be defined i.e. heat sensor, optical smoke
sensor, callpoint, etc. This is an optional field as the panel normally learns the device type
automatically.
AGV allocation
This allows the point addresses which physically exist between loop isolators to be defined.
This is an optional field as the panel normally learns the addresses automatically.
Points: global settings: view
This menu provides a view of the attributes of point addresses on a zonal basis. Enter a range of
zones, for example 1 - 1, or 3 - 5, or "all".
