System OverviewSystem Overview
Simple user interface
The main element of the user interface with is a large (120mm x 90mm visible area)
touch screen display, which provides comprehensive user information and also acts as
a multifunctional keypad.
Comprehensive context sensitive help information is provided throughout the menus to
assist unfamiliar users with system operation.
The Panel touch screen display automatically reconfigures to suit the selected function,
for example, if the change device text menu option is selected, the touch screen is
automatically formatted as a full QWERTY keyboard to enable fast and simple text
entry.
The use of the touch screen display enables a wide range of user and engineering
facilities to be incorporated into the panel whilst still offering simple operation.
User configuration and maintenance facilities
The Panel has comprehensive facilities for on site system configuration, whereby the
user can add or remove simple devices or change device text directly via the panel,
without the need for a service engineer to visit site. For initial configuration or major
system changes special PC configuration software is available enabling Cooper Lighting
and Security personnel to do this more efficiently than can be achieved using the
system screen. Exiting configurations can be uploaded to the PC so that changes can
be made to the existing system rather than having to revert to initial files.
Sophisticated sounder control facilities
The Panel has the ability to support highly complex ringing pattern requirements.
Multistage cause and effect programming is possible whereby each addressable
sounder or output interface can be programmed independently if required and can be
set to respond to specific addresses, specific detection zones, specific panels on a
networked system or standard global ringing.
The panel supports three separate sets of programming per sounder and each stage
can be triggered differently For example, if a single detector is triggered the panel can
