User mode
If the Installer mode option is enabled, it is possible to
program or change the installation using the Installer
password. If the option User mode is enabled, this feature
allows you to perform the real time monitoring of the panel
zones and the loop devices associated with them. The
loop device or zone displays in a way that immediately
informs you about its state with a coloured background or
an overlapped icon. By selecting the loop device, the user
can also receive real time information about the last
measured value that can be expressed in °C, ppm, % or V,
depending on the device type.
While the FireClass FC500 (FC501_FC503_FC506)
Console is running, the user can choose whether to work
in Normal mode of communication (communication with
the panel occurs only when required), or in Real time
mode. Real time mode communication is activated by a
button that starts a session of continuous communication
with the panel.
While the FireClass FC500 (FC501_FC503_FC506)
Console is in real time mode, it constantly receives data
from the panel and provides the user with feedback on
status changes. The Real time communication also
provides the user with two additional controls: Events in
real time and Remote control.
The Event log in real time is similar to that found in the
Event log screen, but the log is updated constantly, and
always shows the last 16 events generated by the control
panel. Use the remote control panel to send commands to
the fire panel as if are using a graphical interface. This
feature allows you to remotely press the functional buttons
present on the panel user interface; these include: Silence,
Reset, Investigation, Lamp test, Silence buzzer, Evacuate.
Sending a remote command to the panel through this
interface requires you to insert the panel’s User or Installer
password for security reasons.
When the fire panel receives commands, the control
keypad requests a password. The remote control panel
also shows the detailed status of the connected fire panel
and provides a ready visualisation of status changes.
A second click on a button ends the communication in real
time mode and return to normal mode.
