The DELAY LED will not be illuminated unless 
the Fire O/P and/or the Fire Protection O/Ps are 
optionally configured for the delay mode. 
16.8  Overriding the Delay Mode 
The panel display includes a Delay Override button 
allowing the User to override the delay and operate 
the delayed outputs immediately during a fire alarm 
condition. 
Operation of a Manual Call Point on a zone will also 
override the delay. 
16.9  Adjustable Display LED 
Brightness 
On the panel the brightness of the LEDs on the 
display can be adjusted to one of 8 levels from full 
brightness to dim. 
On the repeater the brightness of the LEDs on the 
display can be set as either bright or dim. 
To change the brightness, set the Access 
Keyswitch to the ON position, press the Test 
Display button, then within 5 seconds: 
•  On the panel: press the UP  arrow button to 
increase the brightness or the DOWN  arrow 
button to decrease the brightness. 
•  On the repeater: press the Test Display button 
to toggle the brightness (full/dim). 
Power-up level is full brightness. 
17. Overview of Engineers Functions 
This section provides an overview of the functions 
available to the engineer. 
17.1  Engineer’s configuration process 
Most of the Engineer’s configuration facilities are 
controlled by DIL switches located on the 
motherboard, accessed by opening the panel door. 
Each configuration feature has its own dedicated 
DIL switch. 
Some functions simply require the appropriate DIL 
switch to be either ON or OFF. 
Where the function is to be applied to selected 
zones or outputs, operating the appropriate DIL 
switch initiates a programming mode in which the 
engineer is able to select the required zone or 
output and program the panel to enable or disable 
the required function. These programmed operating 
modes are stored in EEPROM and are  not lost if 
the panel is powered down. The relevant DIL 
switches are shown below: 
 
17.2  Zone/Output selection 
When one of the zone or output configuration DIL 
switches is switched to the ON position, the panel 
sounds the internal buzzer and illuminates the 
SYSTEM FAULT LED to indicate that the 
programming mode has been initiated. Any circuits 
which already have that mode set will have their 
fault LED illuminated. 
The engineer can then use the Cursor Select 
feature to select the required zone or output by 
moving a flashing cursor indication up or down 
through the yellow fault LEDs associated with the 
available zones and outputs until the required zone 
or output is highlighted. 
Note that in the Engineer’s programming mode, any 
faults, or disablements are masked and are not 
shown on the display. The panel will not respond to 
faults or fires. 
With the cursor flashing on  the required 
zone/output, pressing the Disable button disables 
the required function for that zone/output 
(corresponding fault LED is OFF). Pressing the 
Enable button enables the required function for that 
zone/output (corresponding fault LED is ON). 
Once  all required zones/outputs have been 
programmed  and  the configuration DIL switch is 
returned to the OFF position, the panel will return to 
normal operation. 
NOTE: DIL switch 7 – CONFIG DELAY ZONES is 
not applicable to the T1200-C range of panels. 
The factory default configuration  for the zones 
and delayed outputs can be restored by selecting 
all five configuration DIL switches for the zones and 
outputs to ON then pressing the Disable switch on 
the display and finally setting the configuration 
switches back to the OFF position. 
Factory default: 
All zones are latching fire, not  intrinsically safe, 
not machinery space. 
All outputs operate immediately (not delayed). 
The following sections describe the available 
configuration options. 
17.3  Configure Delayed Outputs 
Having  operated  the DIL switch for configuring 
delayed outputs the required  output can be 
selected via the Cursor Select feature and can be 
set as  either a Delayed output or a Non-Delayed 
output. If the output is set to the delayed mode, the 
appropriate output fault LED will be illuminated. 
The following outputs can be independently 
programmed as delayed or non-delayed: 
i)  All Sounder Circuits (panel & output boards) 
unless in CREW mode 
ii)  Fire Output 
iii) All Fire Protection Outputs (panel & output
