Options section
Assigned zones: Each manual callpoint can be
associated with one of the available software
zones (32 for FC501, 128 for FC503 and 256 for
FC506).
LED blinking: If you enable this option, the
manual callpoint LED blinks on every loop
scanning.
Zones programming
The Zones option from the panel tree menu allows you to
access the software zone parameters; see Figures 12.1,
12.2 and 12.3. The software zones parameters are applied
automatically to all devices associated with the zone
concerned.
First section (General)
Enabled: A tick indicates that the detector is
enabled.
Label: This indicates the editable device-label (up
to 20 characters). The system uses the label as
the zone identifier.
Options section
You can program a number of parameters in this section.
Walk test
Active: If enabled, the zones in Alarm status
activate the programmed outputs with Walk test
event, while the control panel does not generate
an alarm. Select this option if the event is
generated by any device (modules, callpoints, and
detectors), callpoints (callpoints only) and
detectors (modules and detectors, but no
callpoints).
Delay to alarm
Delay to alarm: If you enable this option, the
control panel activates the Alarm delay.
Double knock: If you enable this option and the
zone is in Delay to alarm status; when you activate
any other devices or other addresses associated
to this zone, the zone will generate an Alarm
status immediately.
Note: If the Use zone settings option is unchecked for a
device, you can decide for that device if it must process
Warning and Delay to alarm statuses. Once you decide
that the device processes the Delay to alarm status, the
activation causes the Delay to alarm of the panel (with
panel Delay to alarm time); as the device belongs to a
zone, that zone will also go into Delay to alarm status. If
another point belonging to the zones goes into Delay to
alarm status, the Double knock option becomes active if
enabled in the Zone programming page.
Delay to alarm duration: An input device
programmed with Delay to alarm time will
generate an Alarm status when the Delay to alarm
time elapses. See Detectors parameters
programming. To change the Delay to alarm time,
select Delay to alarm and you can set the time
from 0 seconds to 300 seconds in 1 second steps.
Drift compensation: See the same option in
Table 7.
Detector warning: If you enable this option, the
control panel activates a Warning signal. To
activate the Warning option for a module, tick the
corresponding box on the module programming
screen.
Smoke delay: For each zone, you can program
the delayed activation of the smoke detectors. The
Smoke delay (60 seconds or 30 minutes)
parameter, when set, applies to all smoke
detectors assigned to the selected zone, the alarm
verification algorithm as described in EN54-2.
Note: Under the list of Zones (Zone programming page,
see Figures 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 ) two windows display
which devices and what outputs are enabled. If you click
the right mouse button on a device in the list, a new menu
displays. Selecting device details opens a new window,
where it is possible to see what points and output is
assigned to the device.
Communicators section
PSTN
You can associate each zone with one or more voice
messages linked to an Alarm, Delay to alarm, Start-up,
Breakdown or Walk test event. You can send these voice
messages to a maximum of 32 telephone numbers.
IP
See PSTN above.
Note: The communicators section activates after the
PSTN and IP communicator are enabled (double click for
this) in the General options page.
