Input Programming.
Input devices are Detectors, Callpoints and the input side of an I/O unit which can be programmed on
the Site Installer to carry out different functions, (If un-programmed the default is Fire).
The Device Inputs box is opened
by ‘right clicking’ on the individual device and when the device
options
box opens then choose ‘Device Inputs’
This shows a device input box and subsequently how the panel is set to respond to each input option.
Selections can be made to make the panel reset, silence, evacuate, pre-alarm, fault or fire.
Other options include the disabling of a pre assigned group of addresses or zones (
up to 8 of either -
see notes
), or initiating the Day/Night or Non-Latch functions.
On a later release of Software and Site installer (July 2011) more selection have been added to the
input programming list to include
– non-fire input, FRE only activate or Extinguisher only activate.
The input programming can also be used to turn on and off the feature T1/T2. When disable
addresses is used on the input and the isolate list is selected, all of the devices on the loop are
displayed together with a ‘Delay’ showing as the last device. This ‘Delay’ is T1/T2 which is disabled
when the Callpoint or I/O is operated and reinstated when the input is removed.
Non-latch is a feature where the panel goes back to quiescent state when the Fire situation clears,
this is particularly useful when interlinking with other panels.
NOTES
1. The addresses must be on the same loop as the input device, whereas the disabling of
zones can be achieved across the panel.
2. The maximum number of Isolate lists allowed are 10 per loop i.e. 10 inputs set to
Isolate
3. When disabling devices or zones the Non
– latch button is not required.
4. Allow at least 30
– 40 secs from the end of a reset before returning the input to the
quiescent condition.
