ENGINEER FUNCTIONS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the ENGINEER FUNCTIONS menu. As a rule, pressing the
Escape
3button when in a submenu will return you to the ENGINEER FUNCTIONS menu.
SET/CLEAR DISABLEMENTS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the disablements submenu which allows you to enable/disable
zones, sounders, outputs, relays, loop devices, the panel’s fault relay and output delays.
Any disablement(s) will be indicated at all access levels via the DISPLAY DISABLEMENTS menu option
and the General Disablement LED on the front of the panel.
CAUTION: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT ALL DISABLEMENTS ARE REGULARLY
REVIEWED AND IMMEDIATELY ENABLED WHEN NO LONGER NECESSARY AS THEY CAN
HAVE A MAJOR AFFECT ON HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.
ENABLE/DISABLE ZONES
This function allows you to disable zones from reporting faults, fires, etc., and may be used to
temporarily disable a zone of devices in areas such as loading bays that are prone to nuisance triggering
from vehicle fumes.
Enter AL3 (4444) > Engineer Functions > Set/Clear Disablements > Enable/Disable Zones.
When selected, press the Accept
4button and a window similar to below will appear:
Select the zone to be disabled/enabled using the
5 and 6 scroll buttons, then press the Accept4button
and the zone’s status (Enabled or Disabled) will flash. Next, press the
5 and 6 scroll buttons to toggle
between enabled and disabled and press the Accept
4button to select. The window will now move to
the next available zone allowing further enablements or disablements to be made. Alternatively, to
return to the previous menu press the Escape
3button.
Note: If all input devices on a zone have been disabled using the ENABLE/DISABLE DEVICES function
detailed on page 36, the zone they belong to will also be disabled. If you try to re-enable a zone which
has no enabled devices on it, a prompt appears saying this cannot be done. Instead you MUST enable
at least one device on the zone using the ENABLE/DISABLE DEVICES function before re-enabling the
zone itself.

When selected, press the Accept
4button, loop 1 is automatically selected and a window similar to the
one below will appear:
