11.10.3 NETWORK ZONE SEARCHES
The zone search functions allow an operator to search the local FIP and other network
FIPs for zones meeting specified status criteria, e.g. in alarm.
From the base display press:
Then press numeric key 1, 2, or 3 to search:
1: All SIDs. The local panel plus all programmed remote devices.
2: Local SID only Local panel only.
3: Select SID Prompts for the entry of a SID number - enter the SID number with
the numeric keypad followed by ENTER, to start the search at a
particular device on the network.
A further set of options 1 to 6 will be given as follows:
1: All off normal
2: Alarms
3: Faults
4: Testing
5: Isolated
6: Status
Press numeric keys 1 to 6 to select the desired option.
When an option has been selected, the FIP searches for the first zone that meets the
specified criteria.
If there are no local zones that meet the criteria, the FIP then polls the other FIPs on the
network to determine whether they have any zones that meet the criteria.
Once a zone is found that meets the criteria specified, the LCD display reverts to a zone
status display for that zone. When the NEXT or PREV key is pressed, the search
continues for the next or previous zone, respectively, that meets the original search
criteria.
While the panel is determining the next or previous zone that meets the criteria the LCD
displays "Searching".
If no zones matching the criteria are found, the LCD briefly displays a message saying
so, and reverts to the base display.
Note that due to network and remote panel delays a zone search command may take
some time to complete, especially for larger systems with no zones that match the
search criteria.
