Examples: If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 and control panel 1 repeats
control panel 2, the zone 1 in control panel 2 will also be disabled (shared zone
completely disabled). If we disable zone 1 in control panel 1 but control panel 2 is
not repeated, zone 1 in panel 2 will not be disabled. (This allows disabling only
part of the shared zone).
Firenet loop class
Use this menu to configure the loop class: class A (ring) or class B (bus).
Class A is recommended to provide redundancy in communication path. Class B
can only be used for repeaters without control requirements.
By default, the basic settings use class B for basic repeater functionality.
Process remote zones
Use this menu to process (or not process) remote zones in alarm.
This setting lets you decide whether the control panel enters alarm and reacts
accordingly or not, with any remote zone outside its range of zones. This option
lets you:
• Create large conventional systems (for example, 10, 12, 16 or more zones)
where each node has different global zones to indicate only the local zone in
alarm
• Create systems where alarm indications have to be local to the panel (nP
should be inactive)
By default, process remote zone alarms is On.
Firenet and Firenet repeater maps
If the control panels in the system do not have all the node IDs numbered
consecutively (starting from 1) or if the control panels do not repeat information
from all other panels, then configure Firenet map and Firenet repeater map.
Firenet map configuration
Any control panel in the fire network can be configured to show remote zone
events and react as if the events were coming from the local zones, for the zones
that are within the range of the panel. The range of zones in the panel is
determined with the initial zone (offset) and the control panel type. The global
zone numbers can be 1 to 9999. This means a three-zone panel initial zone can
be 1 to 9998 and a three-zone panel with the initial zone being 100 has a zones
range from 100 to 102.
The Firenet map defines all the control panels that communicate with the
configured panel. This lets you create subnetworks in the fire network. For
example, if you have four panels in a fire network as follows:
• Panel ID 1 with nM active for nodes 1 and 2
• Panel ID 2 with nM active for nodes 1 and 2
• Panel ID 20 with nM active for nodes 20 and 32
• Panel ID 32 with nM active for nodes 20 and 32
