4.1 OVERVIEW
The CyberCat 50 panel is equipped with a 3,200 event history buffer that allows you to review system events
as they occur. Within this same history buffer there is a dedicated ALARM and SUPERVISORY event history
capable of storing up to 1,600 and 800 events respectively. The buffer is continuously cycling which means
the first record/event in, will be first out when the number of events exceeds 3,200. The only exception to this
rotating buffer is when an ALARM event occurs. Since the first alarm event is critical for identification of fire
initiation, the buffer will keep the first alarm event and then STOP after the next 999 alarm events are
recorded. The history buffer is battery backed by a lithium coin cell battery. If power is removed from the
system, the history buffer will be saved.
Refer to Fike document 06-639, “Event/History Messages” for a complete listing of system event messages
and suggested corrective actions.
4.2 VIEWING
HISTORY
As current system events occur, the display will toggle to show the current system event. Current events are
those that have taken place since the last Reset of the panel. With the panel door closed, you must use the
STEP buttons to cycle through current events on the display:
STEP ALARM – Press to step through the current Alarm events on the display
STEP SUPER – Press to step through the current Supervisory events on the display.
STEP ALL – Press to step through ALL current events on the display.

Note:
To access the Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble history buffers, a like type event must be active.
For example: before you can view the Alarm history buffer, an active alarm must be active on the system.
With the panel door open, the
+/-
buttons on the display can also be used to increment or decrement through
the current system events.
