3.2 Valid values
When using the menus you will be entering various val-
ues, such as point numbers.
In general, you can set these to any value, including
invalid values. If you make an invalid setting there will be
an audible or on screen warning.
For example, if you enter a loop address of A132 and a
device has not been configured to this address, you will
see an “Invalid entry!” message.
3.3 Using the menus
Press the Menu (F1) key to use the menus. The Menu
(F1) key is available on the normal screen. The normal
screen is shown in Fig. 3 on page 8. Switch the Enable
keyswitch to 1 (ON) for the View (F1) key to change to
the Menu (F1) key.
Once the Main Menu screen is accessed, the Menu
(F1) key is replaced with a Back (F1) key for exiting
menus.
Most of the menu options are only available once you
have logged on and the available menu items may vary
depending on your level of access, the panel version,
and the country you are accessing the panel from.
The menu options for the Main Menu are:
1 – Accept Events*
2 – View Status
3 – Disablements
4 – Time/Date
5 – Event Log
6 – View/Print Data
7 – Service
8 – Configuration
9 – Test Buzzer, LEDs & Display
*not available in all marketplaces and countries.
Select the menu options by pressing the appropriate
number key on the alphanumeric keypad. Each option
leads to a further screen, which may present further
options.
Details of the menu screens are provided in section 4
“Menu details” on page 20.
When using the menus, you use combinations of the
same basic methods. To avoid repetition this guide
does not provide full step by step details for each
screen. Instead, “Example - discovering the status of a
point” on page 19 serves as an example of how to use
the basic methods.
Example - discovering the status of a point
1 Enter your passcode to display the Main Menu.
Note: This is not strictly necessary when viewing
status, and is only included for the purposes of the
example.
2 Press the 2 key to display the View Status menu.
3 Press the 1 key to display the next screen, Full
Point.
4 Press the 1 key to display the next screen, Loop
Point.
5 The default loop setting (A) does not need to be
changed. See “Loops and loop labelling” on page 19
for more information.
Press the >> (F2) key to move the highlight to the
point number.
6 Press the + (F4) key or the 2 key to increment the
point number.
7 Press the Enter (F5) key to display the point status.
3.3.1 Network and non-network addresses
You will sometimes need to enter an address in the sys-
tem.
For example, to view the status of a point, you specify
the point address, using the Full Point option of the
View Status menu.
In a networked system, there will be an option on the
Full Point screen to specify the panel number. In a
non-networked system you do not need to specify the
panel number as there is only one, so the item does not
exist.
In some cases there is a separate screen for specifying
the panel number – again this will not be shown in a
non-networked system.
This manual assumes a non-networked system, unless
otherwise specified, so the steps of specifying panel
numbers are not included.
3.3.2 Loops and loop labelling
The devices of the system, for example detectors and
sounders, are wired into a loop. There may be more
than one loop, so loops also have an identifier. A device
address includes ‘loop identifier + identifier on the loop’.
An example loop address is ‘A001’ (loop identifier A,
identifier on the loop 001).
A loop identifier might be a letter or a number. A to H
are typically used in smaller systems and are used in
this manual.
