86 Amended: Sept 21
In anticipation for the introduction of CPD the PSU was sent to the approvals body and introduced
approx. 2009/10, unfortunately this also required a change to the display software which required the
replacement of the PCB. The display had no Bootloader
Shortly after the PSU change the Display PCB was modified to accept tactile buttons, a huge
improvement on the rubber version.
After various software issues the panel was withdrawn from sale to facilitate an overhaul of the
functionality.
On re-release in approx. 2012/13 the Networking feature was removed, but the Bootloader enabling
the upgrade of display code was implemented
Various software versions followed to cure bugfixes and add enhancements. These include
• Fix to include the MCIM to be recognised as an ‘Input’
• Fix to cure a phantom button press causing an evacuate command
• Fix to include EN54 updates and EMC
• Fix to include Log download
Supported Devices
Detection
Standard devices include Photoelectric, Ionisation (obsolete since Dec 2007), Multimode heat and the
replacement for the Ion, the Opto Thermal.
The heat detector defaults to RoR when the panel is in Auto learn, these must be set to the required
value RoR, BS (fixed 60 deg) or CS (fixed 78 deg) before upload or download to the laptop.
The Opto Thermal has both an optical smoke chamber and a heat element that work in tandem such
that the smoke half becomes more sensitive when heat is also present.
Each element will also work independently such that the heat is fixed temp 60 deg (A1S) and the
optical has slightly reduced sensitivity (but remains within the tolerances laid down by EN54).
The Opto Thermal and heat detectors are capable of responding to Day/Night programming described
on page 34
Call points
Call points are supplied as Surface, Flush mounted and IP 67 Weatherproof. Various accessories can
be fitted such as the hinged protective cover, recessing bezel and resettable plastic element.
Generally, the inputs of this device are used primarily for Fire, but the Input programming in Site
Installer gives the options of setting them to fire, fault, reset, silence, pre-alarm and evacuate.
A call point can also be used to initiate day night mode, isolate addresses or zones or be set to non-
latching.
