1.1 SCOPE
The F3200 Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) has an Operator Display Panel with an
alphanumeric "Liquid Crystal Display" (LCD) and a keypad. The keypad has numeric
keys (0 to 9) and specific control keys (e.g. Bells Isolate, Reset, etc).
The operator controls the FIP by pressing the appropriate control keys. The FIP, in turn,
prompts the operator by displaying messages on the LCD. Where appropriate, the FIP
will provide the operator with options, numbered from 1 up. The operator selects the
desired option by pressing the appropriate key on the numeric keypad.
Control of the FIP is therefore intuitive to an operator familiar with the basic principles of
a fire alarm system.
Such an operator may well perform all desired functions without reference to this
manual. This manual is intended as a guide to an unfamiliar operator and a reference
for the more experienced operator.
It is recommended that the building owner's representative who is responsible for the fire
alarm system, becomes familiar with the FIP operation by practice and by reference to
this manual. The unfamiliar operator should learn the basic principles described in
Chapter 2, and become familiar with the F3200 system structure and controls.
With appropriate hardware and cabling F3200 panels may be networked to form a
system of inter-connected panels and network devices.
This manual describes the operation of both non-networked and networked F3200
panels, and also describes the operation of the NDU (Network Display Unit) which is
essentially a networked F3200 without any alarm zone modules or relay modules.
An NDU may be programmed to operate in “New Zealand mode” for use in New
Zealand. New Zealand mode is not available for an F3200 Fire Panel.
Section 1.6 describes how this manual should be used according to the type of panel
being operated.
