2.2.7 LOGGING PRINTER
A serial printer may be connected to F3200 to provide a log of events and operator
actions, and also to print the programmed database.
Events which are printed include:
(i) Zone Events, e.g. Alarm, Fault;
(ii)
Zone Commands, e.g. Reset, Isolate;
(iii)
System events, e.g. communication failures, battery faults, etc.
The printout includes the time and date, the cause of the event (e.g. Zone, Relay, RZDU
or FIP), and the event type. Events and commands for zones and relays that have a text
name programmed also have the name printed. F3200 is able to store at least 100
events for printing, being the first 100 events to occur.
As events are printed, more events are able to be put into the list. If events cannot be
put into the list because it is full, the FIP keeps a count of those events it has had to
discard. When the FIP is next able to put more events into the list, it prints out the
number of events it had to discard.
For a networked system, with appropriate programming, an F3200 panel (or NDU) may
print events and accumulate history for some or all of the other panels on the network.
2.2.8 COLOUR GRAPHICS TERMINALS
The F3200 System supports the addition of colour graphics display and control terminals
(CG4000) on the RZDU communication bus.
These units can be programmed to show graphical displays on zone alarm or fault
conditions. The operator can use function keys or the optional touch screen to generate
Silence, Reset and Isolate commands to the FIP and thus have remote control of the
brigade functions. The CG4000 will run on an IBM AT or compatible computer.
2.2.9 NETWORKING CAPABILITIES
A number of F3200 fire panels or NDUs (Network Display Unit) may be connected
together to form a large distributed system. Chapter 11 describes networking operation.
The NDU is essentially a networked F3200 without any 8 zone or 8 relay modules. Two
types are available - one a slimline unit without a MAF module and similar to the RDU,
the second exactly like an F3200 panel but without any zone or relay modules.
