Honeywell Gent Vigilon A3 Mimic User Manual

Customised Mimic
Zonal Mimic
A Vigilon A3 Mimic panel (VIG-MIM-A3) must be
connected to a loop circuit of a Vigilon fire detection and
alarm system. It is used to provide indication of fire
events in the system. However it can also be used to
provide indication of fault and supervisory events in the
system. The panel can be mounted in landscape or
portrait orientation.
A Customised Mimic holds a pictorial overlay that
represents the protected building or an area within. A fire
event is indicated by the illumination of appropriate red
LEDs behind the overlay to show the location of the fire.
A Zonal Mimic provides a traditional zone by zone
indication of a fire. Each zone is given a location label to
identify the area within a building.
The panel illumination defaults to a Zonal Mimic but can
be reprogrammed during commissioning to be a
Customised Mimic. An array of red lights illuminates
individually or in groups. Illuminations may be applied to
include custom shapes, text and digital clock in small or
large size. A site specific 'welcome message' may be
configured for display during quiescent conditions that
can scroll if it is too long to fit the display area. First or
last fire flashing option, with in phase or anti phase flash.
The panel has its own mains derived power supply with
battery for standby power in the event of mains supply
failure.
