GENERAL
An F3200 FIP is configured to suit a particular customer's requirements by:
Fitting and connecting the required PCB modules;
adjusting or removing links on the PCBs; and
programming the FIP.
The detectors, manual call points (MCPs), warning devices, ancillary equipment and field
wiring that are connected to the FIP must match the FIP configuration.
The FIP configuration data, which is entered during programming, is stored in the non-
volatile memory database. The database may be saved to a computer for backup storage,
and reloaded from the computer.
All programmable options have a default option for the most likely usage. That is, for many
applications, no programming other than entry of site and zone names will be necessary.
Programming is described in detail in the F3200 AS4428.1 Programming Manual LT0256.
4.2
MODULE CONFIGURATION
The required modules are fitted to the F3200 as described in Section 2.3.2. Note that 8 way
modules are connected Bus Out to Bus In, with all 8 Zone Modules preceding any 8 Relay
Modules. Where it is desired to add a module to an existing system this can be done by
programming the Module Configuration through the keyboard (Refer to LT0256
Programming Manual).
The F3200 does various self-tests on start-up and includes checking to see what modules
are present (including 16 Zone LED Display Bds). It displays the results on the LCD. If the
modules present do not agree with the programmed database then the FIP annunciates this
and remains inactive.
E2 Initialisation causes the Controller/Display to accept the modules found as present and
stores this configuration in the database. E2 Initialisation also clears all other data
programmed in the database.
For servicing, modules can be temporarily removed as detailed in Section 10.2 of the
Operator's Manual. This temporary configuration is not stored in the database.
