5. Interr current: 2 mА – current threshold below which a
signal will be released for interrupted line
6. Fire current 10 mА – current threshold for fire alarm
condition
7. Short current 80 mА – current threshold above which a
short circuit will be registered
8. Text – text message field for the line, 20 symbols max.
3.3.6. Zones – allows assigning name to a zone, adding devices to a zone. More details and options are given
in p.5
3.3.7. Initialization – addresses are being assigned to the devices from this menu
- Allows automated (serial) assigning of addresses to new devices
- Manual addressing – assigning an address to each device manually
- Reading device parameters – allows reading of already addressed devices via a programmer, or in
case of replacing the panel due to defects in the existing one. (Example: 10 addressable units with a
programmer, added to the loop at specified locations. The fire alarm panel is switched on and starts
operation with default parameters; the loop shall be switched on using Settings menu, Loop parameters,
and here the number of devices in the loop -10- shall be set. The panel shall read each device
parameters and shall register the parameters in the memory, in order to operate properly. It is done in
menu Read Device Parameters).
- Check Address – the menu allows assigning an address to a specified device. Device’s light indicators
illuminate so it can be identified and its location – registered.
3.3.8. Check Outputs – the menu allows running a functionality check on panel outputs and addressable devices
outputs М9000А IO
- Panel outputs – check is performed by manual activation of each output, marked with a tick in the menu
- Addressable outputs – check is performed by selecting the address of the device that will be tested
(analogically as in menu Check Address)
3.3.9. Passwords – allows setting a password for access level 2 and 3
- Access level 2 – set a password for access level 2
- Access level 3 - set a password for access level 3
3.3.10. Default Parameters – the default parameters are restored and the fire alarm panel is restarted
3.3.11. Clear Archive – files with registered events are deleted, requires a confirmation and a password for
access level 3
4. Addressing devices in a loop
Each device shall have an individual address so it can be identified
by the fire alarm panel. Device addressing is completed as follows:
4.1 Before device addressing is started, the loop shall be switched on
from Settings -> Loop Parameters (Fig.11 position 3.3.) and the
number of devices shall be configured (Initially the number of devices
in the loop is 0. Adding any new device will change the number of
devices automatically). On line 3 shall be set the current threshold,
which, when exceeded, will allow the fire alarm panel to register a
short circuit and to activate the relevant protection.
4.2. After the loop is switched on, enter menu Settings, submenu
Initialization (Fig.11 position 3.7). Device addressing modes here are
also two:
Auto addressing – as soon as a device is attached to its base, the
fire alarm panel recognizes it and assigns a sequential address.
