In test mode, when a detector is activated the LED on the detector will be ON and the event will be reported on the Panel
(and Repeaters) for 15 seconds. If selected then the sounders will also operate for 1 second. The LED on the detector is not
latched and will clear when the alarm level falls below the alarm threshold for the device.
Pressing TEST QUEUE REVIEW will report the zones that are in Test Mode.
7-6 Light LED on device
This function can be used to confirm the physical location of a specific detector.
Select the device and SWITCHED ON and press ENTER. The device will typically take a few seconds to respond.
LEDs stay "ON" until reset is pressed. Output device relay will change state if "LED ON" is selected.
8 General
8-1 Time/Date & Timers
8-1-1 Set Date & Time
Allows the date and time for the system to be set. The date and time are displayed on the LCD whilst the system is not in
fault nor fire.
Press ENTER to skip an entry and after each entry.
It is important to set the date and time, because it is used in the event logging and may also be used to change the detector
sensitivities or to disable delays at night.
There is only one clock in the system. Setting the date and time at a Repeater is actually setting the SYSTEM clock.
NOTE:
Removing panel power completely will erase date and time information from panel. Verify that
correct date and time information is present after finishing panel commissioning or whenever
timestamp is relevant (ex: device activation testing).
8-1-2 Define Day & Night
Defines sunrise and sunset for the system.
The system considers a day to start at sunrise. So when different detector sensitivities are set for different days (function
6-1-8) the new day will start at the sunrise time defined here. If different sensitivities have been set for day and night
(function 6-1-9) then the times defined here are the times the sensitivity change will take place.
If delays have been set to be switched off at night (function 8-1-3), then this will happen at the sunset time defined here.
8-1-3 Delays Off at Night
This function allows the delays for Sounders and I/O activation to be overridden at night.
There are two options: OFF and UNAFFECTED.
UNAFFECTED means that the system settings will remain the same at night as they are during the day.
OFF means that at night time the Sounder, I/O module and Fire Brigade Transmission delays are all turned off and the
outputs will activate immediately if a fire is detected.
This function has exactly the same effect as using the ACTIVE DELAYS button on the front panel to disable the delays at
sunset, then using the same button to restore the day setting at sunrise.
Sunrise and sunset are defined using function 8-1-2.
8-1-4 Configure Evacuate Timer
Allows the evacuate timer to be enabled and the duration of the timer to be set.
The evacuate timer runs in parallel to all other events. Once triggered it starts counting down, when it expires all sounders
are activated. This means various sounder groups may be activated in the meantime (and even silenced) but when the
evacuate timer expires all sounders not sounding are activated.
10 minutes is the maximum duration.
The Evacuate Timer can be set to:
DISABLED
DEVICE MODE
GLOBAL MODE
In DEVICE MODE the evacuate timer is started when a device that has been configured to start the Evacuate Timer detects
a fire. In GLOBAL MODE the Evacuate Timer is started when any device detects a fire.
NOTE:
For DEVICE MODE to work at least one device must be set to start the timer. See programming
function 8-1-5. Once started, the evacuate timer is not stopped by pressing ALARM SILENCE, although
ALARM SILENCE will still silence the sounders once they have been activated. Disabled sounders are
never activated by the evacuate timer.
