Many
MX1
installations have functionality for control of lifts, air-
conditioning systems and so forth during alarm conditions. When the
panel is undergoing tests it may be necessary to disable this functionality
in order to avoid disruption to site occupants.
The Disable Ancils command provides a convenient means to enable or
disable this functionality without having to address each individual
function.
From the Disable menu press
ANCILS
F4
. This gives a display such
as follows.
0:Ancil Group 0 Enabled| DISABLE
1:Ancil Group 1 Enabled| DISABLE
2:Ancil Group 2 Enabled| DISABLE
3:Printer Output Enabled| DISABLE
Fig 3-6 – Ancillary Groups Display
Each line represents one ancillary group and gives a description of the
functionality controlled by that group, followed by its status (Enabled or
Disabled). Each group can be enabled or disabled by pressing the
corresponding F-key. No confirmation is required.
The functionality represented by each ancillary group is determined by
the site-specific configuration. The names of the ancillary groups should
describe this functionality. In the above example, “Printer Output” is one
such description.
Note that if no functionality has been configured for an ancillary group,
disabling that group will have no effect on the system but could result in
the
DISABLES
status indicator turning on (as each Ancillary Group has a
point that reflects its Enable/Disable status and these appear in the
Disables list when the group is disabled).
