18.1.3.3 Disable routing equipment by door switch
Valid for the following control unit outputs for routing equipment:
Fire alarm (for Fire brigade TX)
Fault condition (for Fault TX)
None (default): Door open in the C.U will not disable these outputs.
Any control unit door: Door open in the C.U. will disable these outputs.
Any door: Door open in the C.U. will disable these outputs.
In the display (or via menu H4/U1) is shown:
All outputs to fire alarm routing equip.
disabled by open door More…
Note: Disable routing equipment via cabinet door must not be used in Australia. The
routing equipment can be disabled (isolated) from the ASE.
18.1.3.4 Alarm Reset Method
One of the following alternatives can be selected.
All (default): All fire alarms will be reset simultaneously by pressing the
"Reset" button (on the CIE front) once. This option must be selected.
Single: One fire alarm, i.e. the fire alarm shown in the control unit display
will be reset by pressing the "Reset" button once. Any other fire alarm has to be
reset the same way, one by one.
This function is a violation to the AS7240.2 standard and should not be used.
Single With Automatic Disablement: same as "Single" reset but with the
Disablement function (see below) as well.
This function is a violation to the AS7240.2 standard and should not be used.
Disablement function: If an alarm point or zone is reset while it is still in alarm state (e.g.
smoke in a smoke detector or a manual call point with a broken glass) this unit will be
automatically disabled in order to not activate a new fire alarm within 20 seconds. It will
stay disabled until re-enabled via menu H2/B6.
LED "Disablements" on the CIE front is indicating one or more disablements in the system.
In software version ≥ V2.2.0, the alarm acknowledgement facility is called local alarm acknowledgement and used in
conjunction with Panasonic LAU instead of Brooks AAM however, the function is typical in both applications.
Disable routing equipment via the door open is not permitted in the AU or NZ conventions. Disabling the routing equipment
must be done via the ASE.
