1.3 Editing Existing Devices
The parameters of any device already on the system can be
reassigned at any time. Alternatively, devices may be
temporarily disabled (for maintenance purposes), or deleted
from the system altogether. One of the prime uses of the
'Existing Device' function is to change the default (blank)
s
ettings given to devices entered onto the system via the
Autoscan function.
To edit, move through the menus to the Assignment Menu
and Accept the 'Existing Device' prompt. The details of one of
the devices on the system will then appear, e.g:
Use the scroll keys to select the ID number of the device you
wish to change. A number of options will then appear, e.g:
Use the keys to either reassign the parameters of the device,
delete it from the system, or disable it. (Please note, if the
device has previously been disabled, an 'Enable' option will
appear.) If the ‘ReAss’ prompt is accepted, the Controller
responds by showing the type of device in question in code
form, e.g:
Use the keys to enter the appropriate Area, Group or Zone
with reference to the 'Device Assignment Table' on Pages 36
to 38. Once the relevant Area, Group or Zone has been
accepted, a location prompt will appear, e.g:
Using the scroll and Accept keys, the device can now be given
a place name (refer to Appendix 1 for a list of Quantec's 40
pre-set place names and note that it is also possible to
program up to 45 custom place names using the 'Edit Custom
Texts' function described in section 1.7). On pressing the
Accept button, your choice will be confirmed, e.g:
By using the scroll and Accept keys, four single alphanumeric
characters can now be tagged onto the end of the location.
All four terms must be accepted, even if they are blank (e.g. a
TV room in the East Wing could be TV Room EW01). Exiting
this option before the final character has been accepted will
cancel the description change. When the final character has
been accepted, the ‘Assign New Device’ prompt reappears:
Additional devices can now be edited, or to return to the
Assignment Menu, press Escape.
1.4 Replacing a Faulty Device
This maintenance function allows you to replace a faulty
device with a new one without having to delete its name,
location and Area, Group or Zone details from the system.
To execute, select the 'Replace Device' prompt from the
A
ssignment Menu. The Controller will respond with a message
similar to the one below:
Use the scroll keys to select the ID number of the device you
wish to replace and press Accept. Depending on the ID
number you have selected, the following message will appear:
Activate the new device and await confirmation that it has
been assigned. To check the replaced device's details are as
expected, use the 'Editing Existing Device' function described
in section 1.3.
