System Overview
System Overview
Simple user interface
The main element of the user interface with the control panel is a (60mm x 30mm
visible area) display, which provides comprehensive user information .
As well as an LCD display providing full system status information, the panel
incorporates 32 traditional zone indication LEDs to provide clear information about
the status and spread of a fire even to a user who is completely unfamiliar with the
operation of the system .
In addition there are a number of system status LEDs designed to give clear status
information to non technical users
User configuration and maintenance facilities
The panel has comprehensive facilities for on site system configuration, whereby the
user can add or remove simple devices, without the need for a service engineer to
visit site .
For initial configuration or major system changes special PC configuration software is
available enabling Eaton personnel to do this . Exiting configurations can be uploaded
to the PC so that changes can be made to the existing system rather than having to
revert to initial files .
During the yearly maintenance, all terminal under main supply shall be verified .
Spur tolerant soft addressing
The panel utilises intelligent soft addressing technology to greatly simplify the
installation and commissioning processes .
Once the system has been installed and the autolearn menu selected, the control
panel will automatically scan the detection loops and allocate each device with
an address number corresponding with its position on the loop . This avoids the
traditional need for manual addressing of the system devices which is time
consuming and provides a potential for error .
A major innovation with the panel is the ability to incorporate spurs of analogue
devices which are fed from the main loop by utilising a spur isolator .
Whenever the panel detects a spur, it breaks from allocating address numbers to the
loop wired devices, allocates address numbers to each of the devices on the spur in
sequence and then continues to address the devices on the main loop .
Every analogue device incorporates an integral short circuit isolator ensuring
maximum system integrity . A single short circuit will not disable any loop-mounted
devices . The isolators in the devices each side of the short circuit will operate and
the control panel will drive communication from both ends of the loop .
The spur isolator also incorporates a short circuit isolator such that in the event of a
short circuit on the spur, the integrity of the main loop will not be compromised .
