FOOTNOTES (Figure 3-26):
26 AutoLearn. Run the AutoLearn Procedure .
Purpose : The primary purpose of the AutoLearn Procedure is to execute a Registration Procedure for
all currently unregistered SLC devices.
This option registers any currently unregistered SLC devices, and if no Event-Output-Control
programming exists in the control unit’s memory, will update the general-alarm list by adding all on-
board NACs and R-NAC circuits (if configured as NACs) and all SLC-based AOs and ASMs. All
general-alarm outputs are configured for silenceable operation.
Note:
The dedicated releasing circuits and combination circuits, when programmed as releasing
circuits, are never included in the general-alarm list.
Note: Wait for each SLC device to report a “Not-Registered” trouble message and ensure that all
these trouble messages have been acknowledged before activating “AutoLearn” .
27 AutoSetup. Run the AutoSetup Procedure.
Purpose : The AutoSetup Procedure executes a Registration Procedure for all unregistered SLC
devices and, in addition, configures the system for operation as a waterless fire-suppression system.
The following operating characteristics are assigned to the ARIES NET
Link control unit and its
associated SLC devices.
SLC Device Assignments
Automatic activation of the extinguishing system will be via crossed-zoned alarm-initiating signals
generated by combinations of automatic initiating devices assigned to any of the first 100 addresses
on the SLC. One half of the crossed-zoned alarm-initiating system will consist of any automatic
initiating device addressed within the range of 001 through 050. The other half of the crossed-zoned
automatic-initiating system will consist of any automatic initiating device addressed within the range
of 051 through 100.
Spot-type detectors from each half of the crossed-zoned detection system must be alternated
throughout the protected area.
The extinguishing system will be manually activated by monitor modules (i.e., AIs) configured as
manual-release stations. Operation of a manual-release station will cause all alarm and shutdown
devices to operate as if the system had operated automatically and will cause an immediate activation
of the fire-extinguishing system. Operation of a manual-release station will override the operation of
all abort switches. Each monitor module with address within the range of 101 through 105 will be
assigned as a manual-release station.
Abort switches will, when operated, interrupt the countdown delay for the activation of the
extinguishing system and prevent the operation of any alarms and control functions associated with
the discharge of the extinguishing agent.
Note: Cumulative time delays, resulting from the operation of two or more abort switches connected
into the same releasing device zone, shall not exceed 60 seconds.
The abort switches must be momentary, dead-man-type devices that require a constant force to
remain engaged and active. Abort switches will be configured to reset the countdown timer to the full
delay period. Each monitor module with address within the range of 106 through 110 will be
assigned as an abort station.
CAUTION
The AutoLearn Procedure shall not be used to configure a system. It is primarily a
procedure to create a database of SLC devices and to build a general-alarm list of outputs.
Owner locations are not assigned during the AutoLearn Procedure.
