14.0 Viewing Historic Event Logs
The 6100 stores 300 fire and non-fire historic event logs. When the site file is uploaded from the 6100 the
last 300 historic events ( fire and non-fire ) are automatically appended to it.
To view historic events using the commissioning software first upload the site file from the relevant 6100
( using Panel -> Get settings from panel ), then using View -> Fire event log, View -> Non-fire event log
or View -> combined Fire / Non-fire event log the relevant event log can be viewed.
The most recent events are displayed first.
15.0 Uploading and Downloading Site Files to the 6100
Before site files can be downloaded or Uploaded to the 6100, the 6100 must first be connected to the PC
( see section 7.0 ).
15.1 Uploading a Site File from the 6100
Site files must be uploaded from the 6100 in order to edit them, save them for backup purposes or to view
the historic events.
Using the Panel->get settings from panel window retrieve the site file from the 6100. This process should
take around 5 seconds, after which the site file will be loaded into the 6100 commissioning environment.
To save the file to the PC use File->Save as and give the site file a name.
15.2 Downloading a Site File to the 6100
Site files must be downloaded to the 6100 in order to transfer new configuration data, or updated text into a
panel.
Using the Panel->send settings to panel window transfer the site file to the 6100. This process should take
around 10 seconds, after which the site file will be loaded into the 6100.
Removing the USB lead from the 6100 will cause it to reset and adopt any new settings just downloaded.
15.3 Updating the 6100 Operating System
The 6100 operating system can be reprogrammed from the 6100 commissioning software.
Using the Panel -> Update panel firmware option navigate to the new operating system file ( always has a
.hex extension ) and accept it. The update process takes about 30 seconds and the 6100 will reboot when
the USB lead is removed.
Important. When the 6100 site file or operating system has been updated it is vital the system is
fully tested to ensure it is working as intended.
16.0 The Help Menu
16.1 Generating an Emergency Code ( ECode )
If the current entry codes to a 6100 have been misplaced, or forgotten, it is possible to obtain an emergency
code to allow access to the 6100 Commissioning Software and reset the entry codes. After three failed code
entry attempts the 6100 will display an encoded key number. This key is valid for one hour from its
generation and will only work once.
The one off entry access code can be obtained by contacting Protec with the key, who will then issue the
access code. Alternatively, the key can be typed in to the 6100 Commissioning Software ( if a Protec dongle
is attached ) and this will generate the access code.
