5.1 INTRODUCTION TO BRIGADE FUNCTIONS
5.1.1 GENERAL OPERATION & DISPLAY
When an alarms occurs, the FIP switches from the base (or other) display to FFCIF
mode and displays the alarm (see note following re FFCIF mode). The keys that can be
used are then limited to those within the Fire Fighters Control and Indicating Facility
(FFCIF), plus the "PREV" key, the "CLEAR ESC" key and the "BELLS ISOL" key. The
FFCIF is the area of the keypad within the red border, as shown in Figure 5.1.
10:17:05 Thermal ALARM 1 of 1
ZONE 12 West Tower Floor 5 Plant Room
FIG 5.1
EXAMPLE FIRE FIGHTER'S CONTROL & INDICATING FACILITY (FFCIF)
The FFCIF operates as follows:
Each zone alarm is displayed on the LCD and must be individually acknowledged by
pressing the "ACK" key when the alarm is displayed. All acknowledged alarms can be
reset or isolated by pressing the "RESET" or "ISOLATE" keys respectively.
All alarms must be acknowledged before the display can exit from the FFCIF mode.
The "BELLS ISOLATE" key may be used to isolate or de-isolate the bells at any time.
Once all alarms have been acknowledged and then reset or isolated, the FIP restores
the display and keypad status to where it was before the alarm occurred. Consequently,
partially entered commands can be finished, or any recalls that were being done can be
continued.
NOTE FFCIF MODE
These sections describe the standard FFCIF mode of operation which is mode 3 (i.e. for
a FIP with common controls and a common display).
Where an F3200 has the optional LED displays fitted, it may be configured for mode 2
operation (common controls and individual displays). This is described in Section 5.10.
