Battery Calculation
The Battery calculation window allows you to see (Figu

re 28):
Ø
the FC501 Loads,
Ø
the Loop1,Loop 2, Loop3 devices loads,
in the condition of Normal Load and Alarm Loads
(percentage of devices in alarm status), when the Ma

ins fails. Below this window, in the option “Others Load”,
if needed, the Loads on Auxliary terminals will be inser
-
ted. Automatically the Total Load, the Battery needed
and the Battery Recharge Time will be shown.
Set the Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes values and
the calculation will be done.
Battery calculation Parameters:
Ø Stand-by hours (From 1 to 144 h)
Ø Alarm minutes (From 1 to 240 m)
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
calculated, fixed Stand-by hours, Alarm minutes;
Lock battery type: “Stand-by hours” value will be cal
-
culated, fixed Battery Type (Ah), Alarm minutes.

The software calculation is a rough calculation
and cannot substitute the Installer and/or Qualified

User mode
If the option "Installer Mode" is enabled, with the use of
the Installer password, is now possible to program/
change the installation. If the option "User Mode"is
enabled this feature shall allow the user to perform the real
time monitoring of the panel zones and the loop devices
associated to them. The loop device or zone is displayed in
a way that immediately informs the user about its state with
a coloured background, an overlapped icon, etc. Selecting
the loop device the user can also get real time information
about the last measured value (that can be expressed in
°C, ppm, %, V, etc., depending on the device type).
While the FC501 Console is running, the user can
choose whether to work in Normal mode of commu
-
nication (communication with the panel takes place
only when required), or in Real Time mode.
The communication in Real Time mode is activated by
the button , and start a session of continuous com
-
munication with the control panel.
While the FC501 Console is in Real time mode, it con
-
stantly receives data from the panel, and provides the
user with feedback on the changes of status of the con
-
trol panel. The communication in Real Time mode pro
-
vides 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” page, but it is updated constantly, and always
shows the last 16 events generated by the control panel.
The remote control panel is used to send commands
to the Fire Panel as if a graphical interface were being
used. This feature will allow the user to remotely press
the functional buttons that are present on the panel user
interface:
Ø
Silence, Reset, Investigation, Lamp test, Silence Buz
-
zer, Evacuate.
The sending of a remote command to the panel through
this interface will require the SW User to insert the pa
-
nel’s User or Installer password for security reasons.
A control keypad will be shown to request the password when
commands are sent to the fire panel. The remote control pa-
nel also shows the detailed status of the connected fire panel,
and provides a ready visualization of status changes.
A second click on the button , ends the communi-
cation in real time mode and returns to normal mode.
The User mode provides the use of Graphics Maps.
The activation procedure follows.
Ø 1) First, it is necessary to create the tree structure to
contain the Graphics map. Click on the icon and
define the first map/background, click on the icon
‘to import it.
+
The system of Graphic maps allows the use of
vector graphics file (WMF) as well as the more tra
-
ditional bitmap formats (BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG).
