‘6100’ or ‘panel’
Refers to the 6100 fire alarm control panel.
Downloading
Refers to the transfer of data from a PC to the 6100.
Uploading
Refers to the transfer of data from the 6100 to a PC.
Site-file
Refers to the site configuration data file that is stored the 6100, this file contains the data about loop devices,
panel settings, loop device text, zone text, panel text and cause and effect ( matrix ) information. When this
file is uploaded using the Windows commissioning software any historic event logs are automatically
appended to it.
Incomplete and complete site files
Some elements of loop device data can only be retrieved when the loop devices are logged and mapped
( loop device software version and map node are two examples ). A site file that has not yet had this data
stored is termed ‘incomplete’. This type of site file is generally produced when scanning device data from
barcode labels on the devices, an incomplete site file must be downloaded into the 6100, the loop logged
and mapped and the file uploaded after which it will be ‘complete’ and can be backed up.
Input Group
Input devices ( detectors, Manual Call Points, MIP’s etc. ) must be allocated an input group in the range
1 to 31. The input group triggers the cause and effect’s sequences and is linked to activate output devices by
relevant programming in the cause and effect matrix.
Output Group
Output devices ( sounders, MICCO’s etc ) must be allocated an output group in the range 1 to 32. The output
group is activated by input group activations as dictated by relevant programming in the cause and effect
matrix.
Devices programmed into alarm output groups are triggered under a ‘Sound Alarms’ condition and are
silenced when ‘Silence Alarms’ is pressed.
Devices programmed into control output groups are not triggered under a ‘Sound Alarms’ condition and are
not silenced when ‘Silence Alarms’ is pressed. A panel reset is required.
Zone
Input devices must be allocated a zone number in the range 1 to 32.
Matrix
The system programming describing how output groups are triggered by input groups.
Class
The device class determines how the 6100 will process an activation from that device. Each input device
may be allocated a class. Detectors are programmed as ‘automatic’ class, whereas Manual Call Points are
programmed as ‘manual’ class. See section 10.6 for more details.
Display Group
The Protec 6000/MIMIC device controls LEDs and can be used as a geographical mimic indicating where
input devices have activated. Loop input addresses may be allocated a display group in the range 1 to 255
( 0 disables the feature ) if the input device activates, the corresponding display group LED illuminates on the
mimic.
For example, if input device 10 was allocated a display group of 34, LED 34 on the Protec 6000/MIMIC
would illuminate if input device 10 activated.
