Appendix B: Using the Configurator
Before the job is sent, the configurator interrogates the panel to discover what version of the
product it is running. The configurator is able to build the correct data structures for the
majority of older product versions. If the user is running a version of the configurator that is out
of date with respect to the firmware version, then it cannot build the job, and will display an
error message. The configurator builds the data structures to match the Product Type, Version
and Job Type. At this time, it also checks that each Node and CPU on the panel is online and
agrees (CPU Type and Firmware Language) with the information in the job's database. An
error message is issued if there is a mismatch.
The configurator verifies that the features reported by the firmware match those of the
configured job. An error is displayed and Send Job is aborted if the firmware cannot support or
does not match the configuration.
Warning - Send Job over writes the job on the panel. If you do not have a copy of the panel's
current job on your database, you will be warned that it is about to be overwrriten.
Suite Silence Configuration
Introduction
The configurator allows the user to configure a combination of System Statuses, timers, input
zones and signal zones to satisfy the requirements of the Ontario Building Code with respect
to "Suite Silence".
The code allows the signals (speakers) in suites other than the suite where the alarm occurred
to be automatically silenced. But it specifies that the automatic signal silence cannot occur
until a minimum time has elapsed. It also specifies that the signals must resound immediately
if there is a subsequent alarm anywhere in the building, or if ten minutes elapse and the alarm
has not been acknowledged.
An excerpt of the code is reproduced below.
(13) Audible signal devices, within dwelling units that are wired on separate signal circuits,
need not include a means for silencing as required by Sentence(9) provided the fire alarm
system includes a provision for automatic signal silence within dwelling units, where,
•
(a) the automatic signal silence cannot occur within the first 60sec. of operation or within
the zone of initiation,
•
(b) a subsequent alarm elsewhere in the building will reactuate the silenced audible
signal devices within dwelling units,
•
(c) after a period of not more than 10 min., the silenced audible signal devices will be
restored to continuous audible signal if the alarm is not acknowledged...
Timers
Two timers were added to support Suite Silence. And the existing Signal Silence Inhibit timer
also plays a role. The duration of all three timers can be set on the Job Details form. The
conditions which start and stop these timers are also described there.
•
Auto Resound (mins) - This timer specifies the time, in minutes, after which the signals
will resound if an alarm remains un-acknowledged. The configurable range is from 5 to
12 minutes with a default of 10 minutes.
•
New Alarm (secs) - This timer is started by a new alarm. The configurable range is from
10 to 120 seconds, in 10 second steps with a default of 60 seconds.
