Commissioning Manual
Site Name
During normal operation when everything is working normally, a
message will appear on the bottom line of the alphanumeric display.
This can be the installers name, site name etc.
--
Service Phone
Number
If a fault occurs the alphanumeric display will automatically show a
telephone number to call for help.
Up to 20 characters can be entered as required.
--
Memory Lock
Check
The position of the memory lock switch is continually monitored. In
normal operation, the internal buzzer will sound if this switch is left open.
This may be inconvenient during certain operation (e.g. during
commissioning tests with assistance over a modem line). Changing this
option to ‘No’ will stop the panel producing a fault if the memory is left open.
For maximum system integrity this option should always be set to ‘[Yes]’
once the panel has been commissioned.
YES
Enable Blinking
The SLC Devices can be configured to blink their LED indicators when
the panel polls (addresses) them.
To turn off the blinking, set this option to FALSE.
TRUE
Log Mode
The panel event log can be set to either Diagnostic or Normal mode.
Normal is the default mode.
When in diagnostic mode it will log every event including single
response failures from a device (The buzzer will not sound until a device
fails at least three times in succession).
This function is useful to track and determine spurious or transient fault
conditions. However, the FACP should NOT be kept in this mode for
prolonged periods. The primary purpose of the event log is to record true
alarms and faults – the event log can be quickly filled with detailed fault
diagnostic information – thereby potentially losing the historic log of
previous alarms.
NORMAL
Evacuate Function
When set TRUE (default), all outputs controlled by this panel, which are
individually configured as Can Evacuate = TRUE, will activate in
response to an Evacuate/ Sound Alarms event. When set FALSE, the
same outputs will not respond to an Evacuate/ Sound alarms event.
Setting this parameter FALSE can be useful when it is undesirable for all
sounders to immediately respond to an evacuate command – e.g. in
phased evacuation scenarios.
TRUE

Press ’2’ to select the ‘Setup’ option from page 3 of the Commission menus.
12.1 Event Log
•
The diagnostic mode can be used to help pinpoint loop wiring and detector problems, particularly if
these are intermittent. Any failure in response during a loop wiring break test will also be logged. The
break test is performed every minute. During a break test, the panel checks that it can read the
detectors from both ends of the loop wiring. A test from one end is termed 'break Test 1' and from the
opposite end 'break Test 2'.
•
For example, if the detector on loop 1, address 76 fails to respond during 'break Test 2' the panel
would show in the log:
Entry 58 1:54 19-Aug [1] 1:076
No reply from sensor in break test 2
For service phone
•
Therefore, by checking which devices are lost during each break test, it is possible to determine where
the loop is open circuit.
