Detector programmable functions
A list of all programmable functions follows with an explanation of their usage
and the menu and sub-menu in which they can be found. A menu map with the
location of each sub-menu and function within the main menu is shown in
Table 3. The valid input range for programming parameters is also provided.
Each function listed in Table 3 gives the following information:
• Function name and description
• Type of function. There are five types of functions:
• Yes/No
• Numeric
• Alpha
• Display
• Test
• The menu and sub-menu within which the function can be found.
• Applicability
• The legend “CM only” means that the function applies only to the
command module and is not available for the Standard detector.
• The legend “Address 000-127” means that the function may apply to the
command module and the standard detector (allowable addresses from
000 to 127). Time and date and Relay test are examples of these.
• All other functions are present in both the standard detector and command
module function lists and are used to program the detectors. They can
either be remotely set on the command module, or set locally on the
detector front panel. These are annotated “Address 001-127” since they
do not apply to the command module itself.
Where a programmable function on the command module applies to a standard
detector, the Command module will scan the loop and, if more than one detector
is present, will prompt the user for the address of the detector to be programmed.
If the function applies to the command module, the address “000” should be
entered. For other detectors on the loop (including the detector element of a
command module detector), the value is the same as the address set on the
detector’s internal DIP switch.
If a user enters an address which does not appear on the loop, the error
message, “Bad Detector” appears. This message only appears if the command
module address “000” is entered into a function which only applies to detectors
(that is, anything except “CM only” and “Address 000-127” functions).
Table 3 shows a map of the programmable functions by menu and sub-menu
with references by chapter section.
