Cause and Effect
The Velocity system has very comprehensive, but simple to use Cause and Effect capabilities. The Default factory configuration is that
any alarm will activate all outputs on the panel. Like most addressable systems, the panel allows comprehensive programming of the
sounders, NAC outputs and relays. It is the responsibility of the commissioning engineer to verify that the programmed panel actions
operate the outputs as required. Any input (or cause) can generate any output (or effect). For example, if the input is an Alarm in zone
1 (e.g. an optical detector triggered by smoke), the system can be programmed to generate output(s) (e.g. operate one or more NAC or
relay outputs in one or more zones).
The inputs and outputs can be selected from 4 categories – Point, Local I/O, Zone & Panel.
Example of Selecting a Cause & Effect (New Action):
Press Cause/ Effect icon.
The panel shows the default common cause & effect
setting.
If this is not required, tap the action so that it’s
highlighted yellow, and then press the
icon to
delete it.
The screen will indicate that there are no current cause
& effects programmed. Press the
button to create a
new one.
The panel displays the ‘select cause’ screen, Choose the
cause type (Point, Local I/O, zone or Panel). Depending
on the input type chosen, the panel will display a list of
sub options. For a
‘Point’
cause the options are:-
•
Point causes:
Alarm
Detector Alarm
MCP Alarm
Trouble
Maintenance
Supervisory ON
Supervisory OFF
•
Loop Number:
1-26
