9.2 NETWORK PANEL FUNCTIONALITY
The console of a control panel operating in the network may work in three display and access modes:
-
local mode
– when a control panel with a local number is selected;
-
collective (group) mode
– when a control panel with number 0 is selected;
-
remote mode
– when a control panel with a different number is selected (it should exist in
the network).
Display and access modes may be changed at any moment by direct selection of a control panel
number and its confirmation with the Enter key or in the configuration menu.
The basic display mode for a control panel operating in the network is the collective mode.
9.2.1 Local mode
In the local mode (when the local control panel number is selected) the local control panel mode is
displayed. All readout and configuration functions relate to the control panel in which these actions
are taken. Signalling diodes and the acoustic signalling device indicate the internal mode of a local
control panel.
In order to select the local ("our") control panel, the access to its network number must be selected.
Then, the control panel shows (by means of its indicators) only the condition of this local control
panel (local detection area condition).
9.2.2 Collective mode
The collective mode is the basic mode for control panel operation in a network. In case the fire is
detected in the common detection area, the control panel automatically switches into the collective
operation mode.
In order to select the collective mode, the control panel No. 0 must be selected, which means that
the control panel indicators will display the condition of the common detection area for the control
panel.
If no other control panels are assigned to the control panel (single control panel local detection area),
the indications for the local and common detection areas are identical.
Within the common detection area (when the control panel no. 0 [collective] is selected), the
indicators operate as follows:
-
FIRE indicator – global fire mode for the control panels of the common detection area;
-
ALARM indicator – global fire mode for the control panels of the common detection area; the
push button enables display of all alarming zones of the common detection area with control
panels numbers given;
-
FAULT indicator – global fault mode for the control panels of the common detection area;
the push button enables display of all control panel faults and general information regarding
the fault occurrence in co-operating control panels. Similarly to alarms, non-maskable faults
can be viewed in detail within the entire common detection area. In order to view the faults
within the remote control panel in detail, it is necessary to select the remote control panel
and view its faults.
-
DISABLEMENT indicator – global disablement mode for the control panels of the common
detection area; the push button enables display of all control panel disablements and general
information regarding the disablement occurrences in the control panels within the common
detection area. In order to view the disablements within the remote control panel in detail,
select the remote control panel and view its disablements.
