System Options Menu
Page 91
Mask Override
(The control unit hides this menu option if Masking is set to Off.) This option controls how
the user can respond to a masking event once it is reported by the control unit.
On
A User can override a masking fault to set the system
Off
A User cannot override a masking fault to set the system. The system will not set
until the masking fault has cleared.
Language
This option allows you to update or select the language used for the menus and options.
For UK panels, there is only one language.
Changing the language does not affect any stored names for full/part set, detectors,
outputs or users, and does not change any defaults.
If language files are in a folder named INSTALL on the SD card, you can choose to
replace the existing language stored on the panel with a language from the SD card.
Changing the language does not affect any stored names for full/part set, detectors,
outputs or users, and does not change any defaults.
Shunt Groups
Use this menu to allow users to shunt groups of zones.
First, make sure that all the zones you wish users to be able to shunt have the Shuntable
zone attribute (see page 50).
Select the shunt group to edit, and then specify the zones you want to include in that shunt
group. Note that it does not matter which partition the zone belongs to: the user with the
necessary Shunt Code (see below) will be able to shunt that zone as part of the shunt
group.
There are two ways of controlling shunt groups:
Using a Shunt Code
– Create a new user of type Shunt Code (see
the
Administrator's Guide) and assign the shunt group you have created to that user.
When a user enters the shunt code, the control unit shunts all zones in shunt
group(s) allocated to that code. When a user enters the code again, the control unit
restores the zones in the shunt group(s) linked to that shunt code.
By a Master User or Admin User using the
Shunt Groups
option in the User menu
(see
the Administrator's Guide).
The control unit logs the event each time a user shunts or restores a shunt group.
When the control unit activates any shunt group, it also activates any output of type Zones
Shunted (see page 69).
If a shuntable zone is controlled by both a shunt key and a shunt group, the state of the
zone may be unclear to the user. A shunt group cannot be deactivated if any of the group’s
zones are either open or shunted by a shunt key. In general, it is recommended that you
ensure that each shuntable zone is controlled by either a shunt key or a shunt group, but
not both together.
For other ways of shunting zones see Shunt Key Latched on page 45.
