Clearing the event history log
The panel maintains a log of the most recent 1,000 system or user events. The event record
contains the event time, the event type, the event state, and the event ID. The event time is the
time and date of the event activation or restoration. All of these records are stored in the
panel’s history database and can be cleared (deleted) if needed. Once the history log exceeds
1,000 events, the oldest event is deleted as the newest event is added.
Once the history log is cleared, all new panel events are stored in history. You might want to
clear the history log in the following situations:
• When installation is complete, you can clear the history log before turning the system over
to the building owner.
• If the system history log is filled with event records resulting from a faulty device, problem,
or situation, you can clear the history log after the problem is addressed.
Note: When the history log is full, the oldest event is deleted when a new event is added.
To clear the event history log:
1. Press the Menu button and choose Program.
2. Choose Clear History.
3. Enter a level two password.
4. Select Yes to clear history or No to leave history unchanged.
5. Press Enter.
6. Press the Menu button to exit menu mode, or continue programming.
Updating the firmware
The Firmware Update Utility (FUU) lets you install new firmware in the main panel or loop
interface module. It also lets you retrieve the current firmware version in your panel. Refer to
the Firmware Update Utility release notes to verify which panel versions can be updated using
the FUU. Refer to the FUU help for instructions on how to use the FUU.
Updating the loop interface module firmware is a three-step process.
1. Obtain the loop interface module firmware from the appropriate website, and then load it
into the FUU software.
2. Download the loop interface module firmware to the panel main board using the FUU
software.
3. Write the loop interface module firmware from the panel main board to the SLC card using
front panel programming.
