3.2.2 Panel start-up
The power supply required for normal operation of the system is AC 220V±20%, 50Hz. The
equipment must be well grounded. After confirmation of these operating environments, power
on and start up. The figure below will display:
Fig 3- 6 Initializing interface
During the period, the system will check and load the data required for system running and
set the external equipment as required. The current initializing steps will be displayed in the
status bar. The process will take 10-20s and then it will enter normal state of time display.
Note: 1. Fire or fault condition might be delayed because of the time needed for
confirmation and verification algorithm. In this system, the maximum delay for fire is 5s,
for fault 100s. Therefore, it may prompt “System running normally” when there exist
certain fault or fire at panel start-up.
2. The time needed for initialization depends on the number of external devices
connected. When there is much external equipment, the time will increase accordingly.
