active buttons used to select the Zone number, by directly pressing the number shown or by scrolling through the
zones using the
+ & -
buttons;
•
NAME
: active field used to enter the name of the Zone, maximum length 40 characters including spaces. Confirm with the
“Save” button.
•
ZONE STATUS
: button used to enable / disable the Zone; the button changes colour according to the current status of the
zone (green for enabled, yellow for disabled).
•
MODE
: active button used to change the Zone operating mode to one of 3 available options:
◊
NORMAL
: in NORMAL mode, any activation of a detector within the system generates an alarm event in the relevant
zone.
◊
2 DEVICES
- in 2 DEVICES mode, any activation of a detector within the system generates a PREALARM event in the
relevant zone, but it also waits for the activation of a second detector in the same zone before generating a FIRE ALARM
indication. The RESET command will disable the FIRE and PREALARM events. If for 4 and a quarter minutes no other
alarm signals are detected by another detector in the same zone, the FIRE alarm will be ignored and the panel will reset
the prealarm event automatically.
◊
DOUBLE ALARM
– in DOUBLE ALARM mode, any activation of a detector within the system generates a PREALARM
event in the relevant zone, but it also waits for a second alarm signal from the same detector before generating a FIRE
ALARM indication. The RESET command will disable the FIRE and PREALARM events. If for 4 and a quarter minutes no
other alarm signals are detected by the same detector in the zone, the FIRE alarm will be ignored and the panel will reset
the prealarm event automatically.
CAUTION: the manual buttons and the input modules set to generate an alarm event will be reset
automatically if they are linked to a zone with double alarm or 2 devices mode.
•
SOUNDER DELAY (T2)*
: field used to enter the delay time (T2) for activation of the sounders in that specific zone. The
delay is between 0-540 seconds. When more than one zone is enabled, the SND output will monitor the zone with the
shortest delay.
•
Fire Brigade DELAY (T2) *
: field used to enter the delay time (T2) for activation of the “Fire Brigade Delay” (FIRE R) output.
The delay is between 0-540 seconds. When more than one zone is enabled, the output will monitor the zone with the
shortest delay.
•
FIRE PROTECTION DELAY (T2)*
: field used to enter the delay time (T2) for activation of the “Fire Protection” (FIRE P)
output. The delay is between 0-540 seconds. When more than one zone is enabled, the output will monitor the zone with
the shortest delay.
*NOTE
: the T2s are the times for setting a delay for the activation of an output. See APPENDIX E (2 alarm status levels).
CAUTION: if no T2 delay has been set - Sounders, Fire Brigade Delay or Fire Protection (T2 = 0 sec), the
general T1 delay is ignored.
For example, if the “Sounder Delay (T2)” = 0 sec for Zone 1, set delay T1 will be ignored and the output will
be enabled immediately if a fire alarm event occurs for that specific zone.
•
ZONE GROUP
: panel 41CPE118 zones can be arranged in separate zone groups (up to 48 groups). Each zone can be
added to one of 3 different Zone Groups (A, B, C) to offer quicker programming via input / output logic, or to interface with
the Voice Evacuation panel. Each zone, by default, is not linked to any group (the set value = 0). A maximum of 48 zone
groups can be created.
•
MORE
: press the more button to access the “SOUNDER GROUP” submenu.
◊
ZONE SOUNDERS
: if this field is enabled, in the event of an alarm originating in this Zone, the sounders belonging to it
will be activated; otherwise (disabled) the sounders belonging to this zone will not be activated.
◊
SOUNDER GROUP
: 3 different sounder groups can be entered and linked with a specific Zone. In the event of a fire
alarm originating in that zone, the sounders belonging to the entered sounder group will be activated in line with the
alarm status for that zone.
