FUNCTIONALITY
8-4 Other Features
These are programming functions that do not fall into any other category.
8-4-1 Active/Installation Mode
An essential function. The system should always be left in ACTIVE mode, unless the system is being
installed and debugged.
When the system is set to Installation Mode the green SYSTEM ON LED on the front panel of the Panel and
Repeaters will flash.
Whilst in Installation Mode the system will automatically detect and record the presence of all connected
devices.
To install the system first ensure all detectors, sounders and are connected and have power. Next select
Installation Mode using this function, exit programming mode and press SYSTEM RESET.
Once the system has been in Installation Mode for 90 seconds then the system can be put into Active
Mode.
Note that there is no clear end to Installation mode because the system is constantly looking and learning.
However if the system is put into Active Mode and Installation Mode hasn’t had time to identify all system
components you will very quickly be greeted with error reports regarding the presence of unexpected
devices.
If devices are ever removed, replaced or added then Installation Mode must be selected so that the system
can learn the new configuration. If you do not do this the system will report a fault.
8-4-2 Upload/Download Link to PC
Entering this function will automatically stop all normal fire alarm system operations including
communications to Repeaters.
To perform an upload or download you will need a lead for connection to a PC and the correct PC
software.
Connection to a PC requires a pin-pin 9 way lead with a male D connectors at one end and a female D
connector at the other end. (Only three wires are actually necessary, so if problems are encountered it is
worth trying a lead with only three wires - Tx (pin 2), Rx (pin 3) and GND (pin5)).
Uploading/Downloading Customer Site Data
Depending on the amount of data transferred an Upload or Download can take up to 20 minutes.
It is not necessary to enter Installation Mode after uploading or downloading Customer data. But a Panel
Master Reset is essential (and will happen automatically when the Panel is powered up).
It allows customer site data to be downloaded into the Customer Flash Memory.
It allows customer site data to be uploaded from the Panel to a PC. You may wish to do this to save
the configuration or for ease of editing. Once edited the data must be downloaded back into the
panel.
