Quadnet Control Panel Engineering and Commissioning Manual

7. Engineer Controls 1. Loop Controls 4. Get Configuration
The control panel processor memory holds all the system configuration and programming details.
Certain aspects such as device description, zoning and ‘cause & effect’ are operated from that
point. However, whilst individual device attributes such as smoke mode, heat mode, sound pattern
and volume are stored in the control panel, they need to be stored in the processor memory within
the device to be operational. The get configuration command collects the configuration from the
loop devices to be stored at the control panel.
7. Engineer Controls 1. Loop Controls 5. Reconfigure Devices
The control panel processor memory holds all the system configuration and programming details.
Certain aspects such as device description, zoning and ‘cause & effect’ are operated from that
point. However, whilst individual device attributes such as smoke mode, heat mode, sound pattern
and volume are stored in the control panel, they need to be stored in the processor memory within
the device to be operational. This is carried out with the reconfigure command, which sends out all
the relevant data to the loop devices.
Note that the system should always be re-configured after a PC download from Quadnet OSP, and
then the system should be reset using the ‘reset’ button. If this is not carried out the system may
give a Configuration Data Error fault.
7. Engineer Controls 2. View / Edit Attributes 1. Device
This function allows the user to view, and edit if required, the attributes
for each loop device. These
attributes include the device type, serial number, address, zone, description, input, output,
detection and alarm information. You may also read the optical and heat standing levels for
Multipoint detectors. If changes are made, the individual device may be reconfigured to save the
longer task of reconfiguring all devices on that loop.
7. Engineer Controls 2. View / Edit Attributes 2. Control Panel
This function allows the user to view, and edit if required, the attributes for the control panel. These
attributes include Access Codes, Loop Card software version, panel serial number, panel ID, panel
mode and key press tone. You may also read the control panel serial number and software version
7. Engineer Controls 2. View / Edit Attributes 3. Zone
This function allows the user to view, and edit if required, the attributes
for each zone. These
attributes include the description, and alarm confirmation information.
7. Engineer Controls 2. View / Edit Attributes 4. Network
This function allows the user to view, and edit if required, the attributes
for the system network
programming. These attributes include response and transmission of network information (for fire,
fault, control and technical events), control panel network connections, network ID and Description.
7. Engineer Controls 2. View / Edit Attributes 5. Auxiliary I/O
This function allows the user to view and edit the attributes of the auxiliary inputs and outputs
connected to the system.
