4.8 Configuration FireClass Panels and Repeaters
With the display showing Status: ENABLED, press the
2 key to switch to Status: DISABLED. Press the 1 key
to switch back to enabled.
RSM Test mode
Note that the RSM Test mode option may have been
disabled in the configuration, and so may not be pres-
ent.
The 6 – RSM Test Mode (Reflective Sound Monitoring)
option on the Switches screen is a self-test feature of
some types of sounders. It enables the sounder to
check that its sound output is adequate.
An RSM fault or inadequate output can occur whenever
the device is activated. This might be during a Walk
Test, or as a result of an actual alarm, or during a weekly
sounder check triggered from a call point, for example.
However a device's RSM might not operate due to the
device being set to a low volume level. To ensure RSM
operates on all such devices (on device activation),
select 1 – Force High. To revert back, select
2 – As Configured.
For an RSM test to initiate, these conditions must also
be met:
The older sounder types must sound continuously
for at least 15 seconds.
For older sounder types (for example, the LPAV...
series and LPSY... series sounders), the sounders
must be sounding continuously rather than pulsed
for the RSM test to occur. For these types a Walk
Test cannot initiate an RSM test. In Walk Test the
sounders are activated pulsed – see section 4.7.1
“Walk Test” on page 26.
For newer sounder types (for example, the P8...
series and VID/VAD series), a pulsed or continuous
activation can trigger an RSM test. For these types,
a Walk Test can trigger an RSM test.
To see the results of RSM tests see section 4.6.2 “Test
Results” on page 24.
Inhibit No Resp
Use the 7 – Inhibit No Response (Inhibit No Response)
option on the Switches screen to suppress unwanted
no response faults.
For example, use this option if you have added a new
point but not yet fitted a corresponding detector and
want to avoid a fault condition.
With the display showing Status: Standard, press the
1 key to switch to Status: Fault Inh. Press the 2 key to
switch back.
When Inhibited, a non-responding detector will only
result in a fault if it has previously produced a response.
If a point has a non-responding detector, and this detec-
tor has never responded, this will not result in a fault.
A Y against the Inhibit No Resp item indicates that it is
in the active condition.
4.7.7 Panel Setup
Use this option to load panel’s data from a USB flash
drive (stick). ‘Data’ refers to both panel firmware and
configurations.
The necessary firmware and configuration files must
have been placed on the USB drive using FIRECLASS
Express. For full details refer to the FIRECLASS Express
Help and the FireClass FC600 Series Panels Commis-
sioning Instructions (120.515.947_FC-FC600-P-C).
4.8 Configuration
Use the 8 – Configuration option on the Main Menu
to change text, insert, delete, and modify points.
4.8.1 Change Text
Use the 1 – Change Text option on the Configuration
screen to change text, such as zone descriptions.
Choose the type of text you want to change. You may
then need to specify a particular item. For example,
point address.
The screen shows point information and the Old text.
Start entering text using the alphanumeric keypad. The
text appears under the New text line.
>> copies the Old text to the New text position. You
can then make small changes by editing the text to
avoid re-typing.
– moves the cursor back one position.
+ moves the cursor forward one position.
DANGER
Changing text may lead to a failure or
delay in detecting fires leading to
possible death, serious injuries or
damage to property.
This is because Zone text (for example)
provides key information for locating
fires.
You should only change such text with
caution.
CAUTION
When changing text there is a danger of
unpredictable effects or system instability.
To avoid this, observe the following points:
Avoid inactivity timeouts.
Do not make text changes across a net-
work to more than one panel within any
one session.
