FUNCTIONALITY
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 is displayed on the LCD whilst the
system is not in fault or 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 Panel
clock.
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 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.
