Programming from panel
This section describes how to program the control panel.
9.1
Configuring the control panel
From panel:
<key>
, Programming, Configuration
The first step is to configure the control panel. Press
Ok
after you select “Acquire int. bus”, the display will
show the current configuration of the control panel (i.e. the number of extinguish and expansion boards).
Press
Ok
to initiate the scanning phase. On completion of this phase,
the control panel will enroll the properly connected extinguish board
(one only) and expansion boards. Ensure that the configuration is
correct, then press
Esc
to exit.
Select “Acquire ext. bus” and press
Ok
, the display will show the
number of repeaters in the current system configuration.
Press
Ok
to initiate the RS485 BUS scanning phase. On completion of
this phase, the control panel will enroll all the properly connected
devices found on the RS485 BUS.
Once a component has been enrolled, it will be monitored by the control panel. If the device for any reason
does not respond or is not functioning properly, the control panel will signal a fault.
9.2
Programming the zones
From panel: <key>, Programming,
Progr. Zone
, select zone number,
Ok
This section describes the zone parameters of the detection line and the I/O line.
Attention:
Consult the local laws in force for any restrictions regarding the definition of zones
(dimensions and installation).
9.2.1 Zone parameters
ZONE
Pre-set zone number (from 2 to 20 or 36, depending on the control panel model).
<aaaaaaaaaaaaa>
Zone Description (e.g.downstairs kitchen).
Pre-alarm
Length of pre-alarm signal for the zone. The zone will trigger an alarm when the set time
expires.
Investigate
Length of investigation time, the countdown starts when the
INVESTIGATE
button is
pressed during pre-alarm status. Pressing this button will stop the pre-alarm timer and start
the INVESTIGATE timer.
Verify alarm time
If the Verify alarm time is set for the detection line (further information follows), the control
panel will not activate an instant alarm in response to alarm signals from a detector, but
instead will reset the detector and activate the Verify alarm time. The alarm will be
considered valid only if detector signals again within the preset time.
Filter time
If the “Filtered” option is enabled for the zone detection line or I/O line, this represents the
minimum duration of an line alarm or fault signal before the control panel will consider it as
valid. This filter avoids accidental activation of fault or alarm signals caused by instant
activation (for example, when an elevator trolley violates the area covered by a linear smoke
detector).
