XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels
11.22 Network Settings
This option sets various parameters
associated with the XLSNET (the first two are
also provided at the end of an XLSNET setup
procedure described in
Appendix 3
):
1
The interval for network background check
is the time between ‘I exist’ pings being sent
by a specific panel onto the XLSNET. The
ping includes the time period so that other
panels know how often to expect the ping,
and thus when to report a fault (a suitable
delay is added). The interval time should
not require altering but could be made
longer if there is a lot of network traffic.
2
The connection fault verification delay is the
time between a ‘link broken’ message being
received from the XLSNET NGM board and
the panel reporting the fault. The delay
should not require altering but could be
changed if there are network setup
problems.
3
In a Control Matrix input statement, transfer
flags are not normally available from remote
panels. To share transfer flags between
panels, select YES.
This may adversely
load the XLSNET bandwidth
and is not
required for many systems, thus the default
setting is NO.
11.23 Thermal Alarm Verification Time
If a Control Matrix Rule:
INPUT:
Alarm
OUTPUT: Remote fire output
n
is used in conjunction with another Rule:
INPUT:
Thermal alarm
OUTPUT: Remote fire output
n
then the remote fire output is operated after
the configured Day Mode delay unless the
alarm is thermal, in which case the remote fire
output is operated immediately.
However the thermal alarm remains subject
to a verification delay. The verification time
panel setting allows this delay to be adjusted
from its default (20 seconds) to give the
desired activation timing for the above Control
Matrix requirement.
