Number, the Date, the Time, the Class (Fault, Alarm,
Warning, Generic and Walk test), the Event's descrip
-
tion, the Control panel number, the Loop, the Device
type, the Status, the Threshold and the Zone.
Clicking on the icon will delete the Event Log, or
part of it.
Battery Calculation
The Battery calculation window allows you to see (Figu
-
re 31):
Ø
the FireClass500 Loads
Ø
the Loop1,Loop 2 devices loads
in the condition of Normal Load and Alarm Loads
(percentage of devices in alarm status), when the Ma
-
ins faults.
Below this window, in the option "Others Load", if nee
-
ded, the Loads on Auxliary terminals will be inserted.
Automatically the Total Load and the Battery needed
will be shown.
Fixed the Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes and Alarm
percentage values the calculation will be done.
Battery calculation Parameters:
Ø
Stand-by hours (From 1 to 144 h)
Ø
Alarm minutes (From 1 to 240 h)
Ø
Alarm percentage
Battery Type: this is the battery (Ah) arising from calcu
-
lation.
Battery calculation constraints:
Ø
Lock stand-by hours
Ø
Lock battery type.
Lock stand-by hours: "Battery Type" value (Ah) will be
calculate, fixed Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes and
Alarm percentage ;
Lock battery type: "Stand-by hours" value will be cal-
culate, fixed Battery Type (Ah), Alarm minutes and
Alarm percentage.

The software calculation is a rough calcolation and
cannot substitute the Installer and/or Qualified per-
son calculation.
Loop Wiring calculation
In the same Battery Calculation window (see Figure
31), on the right, FireClass500 Console allows you the
Loop Wiring Calculation.
After the Loop devices have been programmed, clicking
on Loop1 or Loop 2 field (Installation Loop), the Loop
Wiring Calculation window will open. Insert the wire
type in the Max wire Resistance field (value in
Ohm/Km); automatically, the max Loop length will be
shown in the Loop Length field (value in m.) .
Vice versa, inserted the Loop Length, automatically,
the Max wire Resistance (Wire type) will be shown.
Clicking on this Icon the Wire database will be
open. In this database it is possible to insert many type
of wires and so these type of wires will be used in the
Loop wire calculation.
