FireClass Panels and Repeaters 4.7 Service
User Manual Doc. version 2.0 29
If more than 1 panel has been configured, provide the
panel number for the panel you would like to see the
details.
Press the F5 key to start printing.
For PNI800 network cards, the report provides the
status of the following monitored conditions: Com-
mon network fault, Left port, Right port, Ground-
fault, Data Transmission fault, Ring fault and Net-
work Communication fault. The additional counter-
values are given for packets that are sent left and
right to help diagnose network problems
IP Net Setting
Use the 9 – IP Net Setting option on the Diagnostics
screen to see information about the IP (Internet Proto-
col). The information includes the IP Address, Mask,
Default Gateway and whether or not the DHCP
(Dynamic Host Control Protocol) has been enabled.
4.7.4 Calibrate DDM
Use the 4 – Calibrate DDM option on the Service
screen when a loop features a conventional detector cir-
cuit, and the conventional circuit uses diode bases and
the conventional circuit is interfaced using an
FC410DDM.
In such a configuration the removal of a detector can be
sensed, through the resulting change in circuit parame-
ters. The calibrate option identifies the initial correct cir-
cuit parameters, against which the change can be
detected.
Use Calibrate DDM under the following circum-
stances:
On initial commissioning.
When changes have been made, such as changing
detector types, adding detectors or changing the
wiring.
After selecting Calibrate DDM, specify the Panel,
Loop, and Point address of the FC410DDM. Alterna-
tively, leave one or both of these set to All to calibrate a
range of FC410DDM devices. Press Enter.
4.7.5 Restart Systems
Use the 5 – Restart Systems option on the Service
screen to restart the panel with the configured changes.
4.7.6 Switches
Use the 6 – Switches option on the Service screen to
switch various modes OFF or ON.
For each mode there is a screen for making the switch.
On switching, the screen changes to show the prompt
for switching back again. If you navigate away from the
screen and then navigate back, your setting remains in
force until you change it.
Fast Fault Mode
Use the 1 – Fast Fault Mode option on the Switches
screen to reduce the delay between faults occurring
and being reported. For example, you could use this
mode to speed up testing – you might be removing
detectors and checking the panel registers this as a no
response fault.
Normally faults must be present for one minute before
they are reported. This is to prevent spurious faults,
caused by electrical noise on the addressable loop for
example.
With the display showing Status: Std Fault, press the
1 key to switch to Status: Fast Fault. Press the 2 key
to switch back.
In Status: Fast Fault faults are reported immediately
on the first detector poll that discovers them or within
three polls for certain devices.
Rate of Rise
Use the 2 – Rate of Rise option on the Switches
screen to detect the heat generated and not the smoke.
With the display showing Status: ON, press the 2 key
to switch to Status: OFF. Press the 1 key to switch
back again.
Detect Power Up
Use the 5 – Detect Power Up (Detector Power Up)
option on the Switches screen to enable or disable the
monitoring of detector power up.
With Detector Power Up enabled, if a detector requires
initialisation (not at power-up), Detector Power Up is
displayed. It is then automatically cleared after the
device has been initialized and the event is then added
to the log.
Any operation performed on the detector such as
replacing, relocating, servicing, installing or commis-
sioning is recorded as an event and is added to the
event log.
During installation and commissioning there could be
many device power ups, so as a commissioning feature,
logging can be disabled by disabling Detector Power
Up.
Detector Power Up is not used to prevent false alarms
during power up.
CAUTION
Only use Calibrate DDM when the detector
circuit is in its final, operating state. All the
wiring must be in place, and all detectors
fitted.
