LOGGING PRINTER (CONTINUED)
When the FIP is next able to put more events into the list, it prints out the number of events it
had to discard.
For a networked system, with appropriate programming, an F3200 panel (or NDU) may print
events and accumulate history for some or all of the other panels on the network.
2.1.8
NETWORKING CAPABILITIES
A number of F3200 fire panels, NDUs and other Panel-link compatible devices may be
connected together to form a large distributed system. With suitable programming events
may be annunciated at, and controlled from, other panels on the network. A panel (or NDU)
may be set up as a main panel to provide a common monitoring service connection point
with display and control of all facilities on the network.
The F3200 can be networked in a variety of ways:
-
Dual channel RS485 links using the FP0795 kit.
-
Ring RS485 using the FP0771 I-HUB.
-
IP over fibre-optic cable using the FP0986 PIB and Moxa Ethernet switches, or over
copper wire pairs by adding 2 x Westermo Ethernet Extenders per cable pair.
The F3200 system supports the addition of colour graphics display and control terminals on
the network. These units can be programmed to show graphical displays on zone alarm or
fault conditions. The operator can use function keys or an optional touch screen to generate
commands to the F3200 and thus have remote control of it.
2.1.9
GASEOUS FIRE EXTINGUISHING PANELS
A range of F3200 panels are available specially assembled and programmed for gaseous
fire extinguishing applications complying with AS4214.
