AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual
AES Corporation 31 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
Enter a number of seconds to allow between transmissions; the range is 0 to 330; the
default (and recommended) is 10 seconds. Then press <ENTER>.
If data has been entered correctly, the following message appears:
OK
If the programming in this function is not completed within 65 seconds the function
will time-out. The Programmer will beep and the following message will be
displayed: TIMEOUT
NOTES ON SELECTING A CHECK IN TIME:
• Choose a check-in time in accordance with the security requirements of the
installation.
• Except for high security applications, a check in time of 24 hours is typical.
The more frequent the Check-In times are set, the more traffic there is on the
network.
• Do not attempt to use a check in time of greater than 24 hours, 00 minutes.
4.4 Zone Programming
HandHeld Programmer: <Ctrl> + <F3> PC Terminal: <h>
The 7788F zone inputs are connected through a special isolated circuit. It is linked to
the processor through optical couplers to keep unwanted energy from entering the
main circuits.
Zones 1-8 are E.O.L. input triggers, which can be programmed for:
E.O.L. / Supervised, using 2.2K end-of-line resistors, alarm on open or short
E.O.L. / Fire Supervised, reporting trouble for open circuits, alarm on short
Bypass, where the zone input is ignored.
For Fire UL installations, the wiring of any FACP’s relay output to any 7788F zone
input must use an EOL / electrically supervised zone programmed with "F". On the
7788F, Zones 1 through 8 meet this requirement. Supervision of the zone inputs must
be in compliance with the requirements of NFPA 72. The default setting is “S” for
Supervised and must be changed to “F” for Fire supervised.
To permit the reporting of a Trouble condition in a “Trouble” message, “Fire/Trouble
PKT” (Fire Trouble Packet) must be enabled by selecting “Y” to the first prompt in
Zone programming. See Section 4.1 “Remote Programming Limitations” for
additional information on setting this parameter.
Zone Restorals: Each zone can be programmed to report “Restoral” to a normal
state. The default setting is “X” for "No" Restorals.
Factory default zone programming is set to (N) for no Fire Trouble, (S) for EOL
Supervision and (X) for no Restoral. If this is satisfactory skip to the next section.
UL installation must be changed to “Y” for Fire Trouble PKT and “F” for Fire.
Supervision.
Important Note: The 7788F MUST be reset after making changes to the Zone
Programming! This allows the unit to initialize reading its zone inputs based on its
current programming and clearing any former conditions that remain in memory
before any changes were made. Failure to do a Reset may result in such confusing
reports as an Alarm or Trouble on a zone that was changed to Bypass.
