1. Create a tree structure to contain the graphics
map. Define the first map or background and then
import the graphics map.
Note: The system of graphic maps allows you to use the
vector graphics file (WMF) as well as the more traditional
bitmap formats (BMP, JPG, GIF and PNG).
This map appears in the condition of absence of events.
2. Follow the same step for other levels of maps and
insert the plan (the picture of the building, the floor
where the system is installed and the installation
plan) in each tree structure node. You can delete
any map or structure.
3. Insert the devices on the maps; after you select
the map, click on the name of the installation in the
same window, under the tree. A list of all devices
on the loop shows. At this point, drag the selected
device in the relevant position on the map in
question.
4. The final map consists of a series of separate
screens linked together that are easily accessible.
You can also use the tree diagram to access the
final map.
Note: The graphic map, in real time, appears in a
dedicated window. You can analyse more than one device
at a time, but each new image requires additional system
resources. To analyse more than four devices
simultaneously is inadvisable.
In Real time mode, the Graphic map normally appears in
standby status (first map/background).
5. When the fire panel detects and reports a change
in status of the detector or module, the Fireclass
console replaces the icon detector with the event
icon (for example, Fire alarm).
6. The Fireclass console activates the Graphic map
where the detector or module changed status.
Through the connection between the activated
map and the first map or background of a higher
level, the associated area blinks.
7. Realise the drawing of possible areas that will
blink when the contained devices are activated. To
close the area, double click the Dx button.
8. Delete any devices or areas, after they are
selected. For more information about the function
and the use of graphic maps, follow the Help,
accessible by both the main menu and graphic
maps.
Disable
The disable screen (click the right button on the selected
device) is available only when the FC503 console
communicates in Real time. Devices and zones can be
disabled or enabled. Before sending a Disable or Enable
command, the FC503 console provides the prompt to
enter the user password.
