New Detectors
For each new detector, the Autoprogram Feature selects default program values and presents the
information to the user. A typical example follows:
In the preceding example:
• ‘P’ in “P01” represents the actual Type Code (photoelectric) of the detector found at address 01.
('I' would represent an ionization detector, ‘T’ would represent a thermal detector).
• The ADJ (adjective) and NOUN fields are blank, but may be user programmed.
• “MZ00” is the default detector sensitivity and zone selection where ‘M’ indicates medium
sensitivity and ‘Z00’ indicates “general alarm” (main circuit board NAC outputs 1 and 2). Refer
to "Appendix C: Software Zones" on page 80, for software zone assignments. Sensitivity
settings includes (H)igh, (M)edium, and (L)ow where “H” indicates the highest sensitivity to
smoke. The zone and detector sensitivity can be user-programmed.
After the new detector is displayed, press the
ENTER
key to accept the default information shown or
press the left arrow (triangle to the left of the
ENTER
key) to reject the autoprogram information and not
enter it into memory. In most cases, adjective, noun descriptors and zone assignments will be added by
using the following procedure.
The control panel will lead you through the program editing process. A blinking cursor moves through
the fields as you press the right arrow key (triangle to the right of the
ENTER
key). After moving into
other fields, you may return to a previous field by pressing the left arrow. Change the blinking fields by
pressing the up arrow key, the down arrow key or by pressing the appropriate numeric key.
Custom words may be entered via the keypad. The alphanumeric operation of the keypad changes a
blinking letter in the ADJ and NOUN fields. For example, to enter the letter “R”, repeatedly press the
7
key to step through 7, P, R and S, stopping when R is displayed. Press the right arrow key (do not press
the
ENTER
key at this time) to move to the next letter display position.
The ADJ field serves one of two puposes:
• Allow a second zone to be associated with the detector. For example, entering “Z10” associates
the detector with zone 10. Because the ADJ field can be five characters long, the last two
characters should not be used when associating a second zone.
• Provide an adjective portion of the description for the detector.
To reduce the number of key presses, the user may also select from a library of stored words. The ADJ
field library provides five-character words selected by the up arrow or down arrow keys from the
following list of available words:
