PXL Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel
41
If you have never programmed a PXL System, it is best to answer
NO
. When
NO
is selected in response to the above question, the
system goes to the normal operating mode and the following events
occur:
The system polls all system modules and records their addresses.
NOTE:
Addresses must be set before the program can be
configured.
The system applies defaults to all of the program options as
shown in the Table 13. (Generally, all zones are general alarm
causing and they turn all NACs on steady. There is no mapping
of zones to auxiliary relays.)
The system resets and begins normal operation. Alarm, supervi-
sory, or trouble conditions are annunciated automatically and
can be viewed in the display. If no conditions exist the display
reports the following message:
PXL SYSTEM NORMAL
From that point on a
MENU
selection is always available on the
display that provides access to the system programming section.
NOTE:
Access to
MENU
is denied if unacknowledged alarms
exist.
Figure 23 provides the entire menu tree including the Program,
Test, Control, and History options. The user can use this tree at
any time to determine the current location in the menu.
In order to make a change to the System configuration, the user
must first enter a passcode. The System default is 123456. To
change a passcode, go to the Program section of the Main Menu.
The new passcode must have a minimum of four characters and
a maximum of eight characters.
System Programming and Testing
Follow the menu in Figure 23 to access all programming options.
The defaults shown in Table 13 appear as the program functions
are viewed on the display.
Follow the instructions on the display to change the default
values.
Record the new settings in Table 13 and keep that record with
the system for future reference.
