5.1 Access Level 1 Operations
Access Level 1 operations are those that do not require
authorization (by entering a pin or using the key). On the
mask of the panel the A.L.1 operations are enclosed in {}.
They are mainly informational and aimed toward the install-
er or advanced user that wants to verify the programming
of the panel or to identify faults.
The supported access level 1 operations are performed
while the user keeps the required key pressed for more
than 2 seconds and for as long as the information is need-
ed.
Below is a list of the implemented functionality:
Key [1]: [Siren Faults] (Long Press)
While key
[1]
is kept pressed the panel uses the 4 LEDs
marked
*S1*
,
*S2*
,
*S3*
and
*S4*
to indicate the Siren Re-
lay outputs that may have a fault. While in this mode, all
other indicators are turned off and only the
*SIREN FAULT
/ DISABLEMENTS*
indicator flashes every half a second.
The panel returns to normal indication when the key is re-
leased.
Key [2]: [Silence Buzzers]
When pressed will silence the panel’s buzzer. The
*SI-
LENCED BUZZERS*
indicator illuminates.
Any new event will automatically cancel the silence.
If the buzzer has no reason to be active, the silence op
-
eration will only momentarily activate the corresponding
indicator.
Key [3]: [ZONE Conf.] (Long Press)
Configuration check: Alarm verification, Cross Zoning
While key
[3]
is kept pressed, the indicators corresponding
to zone faults (FL1 to FL8) show the configuration of the
input zones as below:
• OFF:
Corresponding zone has no special program
-
ming.
• ON:
Corresponding zone belongs to cross zone pair.
• BLINKING (0.5 seconds period):
Corresponding
zone belongs to Alarm Verification group.
While the panel is in this mode, all other indicators are
turned off except for the
*Alarm Verification*
that flashes
every second.
Key [4]: [SIR Conf.] (Long Press)
Configuration check: “Output delay” relays (S1-S4), “De
-
layed from” Zones (F1-F8), Pre-alarm Relay
While key
[4]
is kept pressed the panel shows the configu
-
ration related to the 4 Siren (relay) outputs:
• Fault indicators (FL1-FL8):
Zones that will be de
-
layed if triggered by an alarm are blinking.
• Siren Indicators (S1 to S4):
Siren outputs that will be
delayed are blinking.
• Siren Indicator 2 (S2):
If allocated to Pre-alarms is
ON (steady).
Key [6]: Test
On Normal press or while kept pressed, all the visual indi-
cators along with the panel’s buzzer are activated.
Key [7]: [EVACUATION] (Long Press)
This operation may be locked for A.L.1. from SW-C-8
On long press (more than 2 seconds) the panel enters
evacuation mode. In this mode all Alarm Outputs are acti-
vated according to their configuration.
•
All Fire Indicators (AL1 to AL8) that were not already
active including the General Alarm are activated (blink
-
ing).
• Alarm indicators that were already in Alarm, keep a
steady
ON
indication.
•
Any new alarm event detected by a zone, changes the
corresponding zone indication to steady
ON
.
•
The Silence operations will not affect the system.
• All alarm outputs will be activated
• The evacuation requires an Access Level 2 reset to be
canceled.
5.2 Access Level 2 Operations
To enter Access Level 2:
• Key method:
Turn key counter-clockwise to horizontal
position.
• PIN method:
Press keys to enter AL.2 PIN: “1357”.
The
*Access Level 2*
indicator illuminates.
If the PIN method is used, the panel will cancel the A.L.2
state if the keys are idle (not pressed) for 30 seconds.
In Access level 2:
Key [1]: Disable SIRENS
The use of this button will cause the disablement of all four
siren outputs (S1 to S4). Successive presses will toggle
the disablement ON and OFF. While disabled:
• There is no way that the system or the user will acti-
vate any of the siren outputs.
• Any already activated output(s) will be deactivated.
•
Any faults on S1 to S4 will be ignored and/or sup
-
pressed.
• The
*Siren Fault / Disablements*
and the
*Disable-
ments*
indicators will be activated (steady ON).
Key [2]: Silence / Restore Sounders
Bell / Class change (Long Press)
Silence / Restore Sounders
The initial press will silence any active sounder output de-
vices. The
*SILENCED SIRENS*
indicator illuminates.
A second press will remove any previously applied silence.
The
*SILENCED SIRENS*
indicator extinguishes.
The affected outputs are Siren Relays 1 to 4 regardless of
configuration. The Fire relay is not affected.
