4 Fault Finding Guide Doc. version 2
1 Overview FIRECLASS Fire Alarm Control Panels
1Overview
This document gives a list of the possible fault states
from FIRECLASS panels using Version 25 firmware.
Faults are reported on the FIRECLASS panel in two
distinct ways:
Using specific points used solely for fault reporting.
Setting a 'standard' point into a fault state.
1.1 Fault Reporting, pseudo,
points
Pseudo points are activated when a monitored event
occurs. Depending on the firmware driver, they may be
cleared after a predetermined time, or they may only
clear when the monitored condition clears. These
conditions are reported by activating the processing
assigned to the point.
There are pseudo points within each point region, for
example, the Field Interface Module (FIM) pseudo
points and the RBUS pseudo points. Each region has a
section below.
1.2 Placing standard points
into Fault
The system can also report faults on other points in the
system. It does this by placing that point into a special
fault condition. This is different from standard point acti-
vation.
The software driver can place a point into different faults
depending on the device being monitored.
Examples include 'NO RESPONSE' and 'RELAY
STUCK'.
The Cause linked to the fault state is not visible to the
FIRECLASS Express user.
