This section describes using the FUNCTION key to modify the attributes of a point.
Points can be selected in one of three ways — through the alarm, fault, or isolate list, using the
MENU keys, or with the ENTRY keypad. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting a
point.
1. Press the FUNCTION key. When you do this, the alphanumeric display shows the first
attribute in the list. (The list is context-sensitive, meaning the list of attributes displayed
for a monitor point differs from the list of attributes displayed for an output point, such as
a relay.)
2. Press the FUNCTION key again. The next option in the list of attributes appears.
Continue to press the FUNCTION key (or use the NEXT and PREV keys) until the option
that you want to display is shown.
3. Follow the directions on the display to change the attribute. (The directions specify
which key – F1, F2, F3, or F4 -- to press to change the attribute.)
The following point attributes can be modified using the operator interface.
Table 6-3. Modifiable Attributes
Attribute Description
Card LED
Allows the state (ON or OFF) of the card LED to be
toggled.
Device LED
Allows the state (ON or OFF) of a MAPNET device
(typically a smoke detector) to be toggled ON or OFF. This
can be very useful when the point address of the smoke is
not known. In this case, illuminating the LED and then use
the information in the display to determine the device
address.
Control Priority Change
Allows the control priority, which is a priority level used with
Custom Control to be incremented or decremented. This
option is available for all control points – relays, notification
appliances, TrueAlarm devices with relays and sounders,
and all digital pseudo points. The priority is a value from 0-
15.
Analog Pseudo Point Value
and Status
Allows you to manually store a value for an analog pseudo
point. The type of value stored depends on the point type
of the pseudo point (i.e., if the point type is a counter, a
counter value is stored; likewise, if the point type is timer, a
timer value is stored).
Alarm Verification Tallies for
Monitor Points (Clear)
Allows you to manually clear alarm verification tallies. This
is useful when attempting to determine how frequently the
system is going through the verification cycles. Dirty
devices and bad Custom Control applications are possible
contributors to frequent verification cycles.
Ground Fault Isolation
Relay
Allows you to manually turn on and off the GFI relay on a
control point.
