XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels
15 Virtual Point Configuration
Virtual Points exist in an external system (e.g.
a Voice Alarm Panel). Virtual Points
communicate with the Fire Alarm Panel via an
RS232 link (i.e. not via the loops) and are used
as inputs to or outputs from the Control Matrix.
There are two types:
a. Virtual Output Points (VOPs) - a maximum
of 512 can be configured.
b. Virtual Input Points (VIPs) - a maximum of
64 can be configured. This option is not
available if the panel is a Slave on a Master/
Slave network.
15.1 Virtual Output Points
1
Enter the point number.
2
Enter a zone number. Virtual points
must
be allocated to a zone to be useable within
the Control Matrix. If the point number
entered in step 1 was for an existing point,
it can be deleted by entering ‘0’. ‘BELL:
SILENCEABLE’ shows the existing
settings, or the default settings if the point
number is new. See step 3 to edit these.
3
Select the point type, either BELL or
CONTROL MODULE. The Virtual Output
Point will then be activated when the
Control Matrix activates devices of the
chosen type (or ALL) in the zone.
4
Select whether the Virtual Output Point is
switched off when the SILENCE/RESOUND
button is operated to silence the sounders.
The default is SILENCEABLE if BELL was
chosen in step 3, or NON-SILENCEABLE
if CONTROL MODULE was chosen. A ‘press
to confirm’ prompt is displayed, see step 2.
5
Use the Text Editor to enter the Virtual
Output Point name (see
Section 6.1
). The
Virtual Point Configuration options are then
redisplayed.
