Electro-Detectors
3.2 Isolate / Enable Devices
Single units or areas of units (zones) can be disabled using this function. For example, if some work (building,
welding, spray painting etc) was being performed that could possibly operate some detection units, then these
units could be temporarily isolated. Both individual units and areas of detectors (zones) can be isolated through this
menu.
A pulsed panel buzzer is active indicating devices are isolated. This can be silenced by pressing the Silence key
while no faults or alarms are being displayed.
NOTE!
Both Fault and alarm conditions are disabled when a device or zone is isolated. Always remember to re-
enable any isolated zones or devices.
When the system is set-up, a time limit is programmed to automatically re-enable any isolated devices or zones
when the period has expired.
A maximum of fifteen devices and fifteen individual zones can be isolated at any one time. The auxiliary relays on
up to 15 panels can also be isolated.

Use ↑↓ to highlight and press enter to select
Isolate Dev When this function is selected a list of the currently isolated devices is displayed. The user is
prompted to enter the unit number of the device to be disabled. Units 1 to 2999 can be disabled.
Type in the device number and press enter. The unit number will be added to the isolated list of
devices. All units except sounders and actuators can be isolated. Devices that do not exist on the
system can not be isolated.
To exit from this screen press cancel.
Enable Dev On selecting this function a list of isolated devices is displayed, the first in the list being
highlighted. To enable a device, use the ∧ and ∨ keys to select the unit to be enabled and press
enter. This unit will now be enabled and will be removed from the list.
Isolate Zone This operates in the same way to the isolation of a detector. Zones 1 to 999 can be isolated. If a
zone is isolated call points will still operate but transmitters, smoke and heat detectors will be
isolated.
Enable Zone This operates in the same way as re-enabling a detector.
Isolate Aux The auxiliary relays on panels can be isolated. Either an individual panel can be isolated or all of
the panels. The user is prompted to enter a two digit number relating to the panel number to be
isolated. Entering 00 isolates all panels. A total of fifteen panels can be isolated at any one time.
To enable the isolated panel auxiliary, press the ∧ or ∨ keys until the required panel to be
enabled is highlighted and press enter.
Isolating and enabling devices, zones and auxiliaries on the EDA-M200
This is similar to the EDA-M100 and EDA-M150. Once the option is selected units and zones can be isolated and
enabled on the same respective screen. Devices do not have to be logged to the system to be isolated. To isolate
a device or zone select the appropriate option and enter the number followed by ENTER. The isolated number will
be displayed below. To isolate other numbers repeat the operation. To enable the zones or devices select the
appropriate option and using the ∧ or ∨ keys position the cursor on the number to be enabled. Press enter to
enable the number. The EDA-M200 panel only has the ability to communicate with 999 devices in 20 zones.
