Configure Heat Detectors.
FIG 22
When a heat detector has been auto learnt on to a loop the default setting is rate of rise.
If a fixed temperature setting is required then the detector must be changed via the panel menu
before the database is downloaded from the laptop computer otherwise when a check config is
carried out the there will be conflicts on all the heats that are set to fixed temperature on the laptop. If
this occurs and is left unmodified then the heat detectors will operate as rate of rise and may produce
unwanted alarms
Network programming
.
When panels are networked together they each take a network address, this address is set up in the
engineering part of the menu along with the total number of panels that are connected on the network.
Panel 1 is automatically configured as the master such that if a network fault occurs the master and
faulty panel only will display the ‘Lon Network Error’.
When setting up a network for the first time after the network card is connected, the panel must have
a hard reset or power cycle to enable the panel to search for and recognise that a card is present. For
connection details see the ‘Networking section’.
On the network all fires, faults pre-alarms etc. are transmitted to all panels. All user actions such as
silence, reset and mute buzzer are also transmitted, so panel 1 could silence the alarms on all other
connected panels.
It is possible to individually configure the panels not to receive silence, evacuate and reset operations
from the network; this is particularly useful where the panels are installed in separate buildings such
as Student accommodation.
