Replace Device
The replace device function is used to change faulty equipment without the need to change text or zone allocation.
The faulty component is changed and then the replace device function selected, the loop and address of the faulty
device are inputted and the panel then scans the loop for address 254, when it receives a reply the previously inputted
address information is programmed on to the new device.
This function cannot be used if a different type of device is replacing the component. ‘Add/Delete’ device function
must then be used.
Check Auto Config
This function has two purposes, the first is to check that when a database has been downloaded the transmitted data
matches the device data on the loop and then it highlights any anomalies as device unknown or device type
mismatches.
The second is to pinpoint any o/c or s/c faults on the loop. The panel achieves this by electronically disconnecting the
return legs and interrogates the devices on the loop. If there is a break the panel will go to fault stating the first device it
cannot see beyond the break. This same function also pinpoints short circuits in the same way, creating a fault beyond
the point where an isolator has opened.
Delays
A sounder delay is set up using site installer and is must be programmed on stage 1 of ‘Device Outputs’. The
maximum time is ten minutes and it can only be programmed in whole minutes.
When programming a delay on the panel sounder circuits the zones selected in the allocate devices box trigger the
delay. Whereas on the loop powered sounders and the sounder controller unit the zones not selected will trigger the
delay and the zones selected will operate the sounders immediately.
The above has been changed in V1.81.01 Display/V1.83.3 Loop so that the devices selected in the list will trigger the
delay and the devices not selected will have no effect.
The delay trigger can be by address, zone, panel or globally.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones, which must be on the same panel.
When triggering a delay on the panel sounders by zone the limit is reduced to 8 zones. If no zones are selected then
the delay will be global.
When a delay has been set up the sounder fault and general disable led’s will be illuminated permanently.
A delay can be set up on the Sounder control unit in the same way as a loop powered sounder, however, only stage 1
of sounder circuit 1 will accept the delay. The other 3 sounder circuits WILL NOT accept a delay.
