The CyberCat system is equipped with an extensive list of configuration parameters. Changes to these
parameters can be made either directly at the panel using its integral configuration menus, or by using the
system’s PC configuration software C-Linx. Not all of the system operating parameters can be set using the
panel’s configuration menus. Section 4.0 of this manual provides a complete description of the configuration
parameters that can changed at the panel.
To set all operating parameters for the system, you must use the panel’s PC programming software C-Linx.
Section 2.2 provides a complete listing of the programming features that are available through C-Linx for your
reference. Refer to Fike document 06-448, “C-Linx Configuration Software” for software details.
It is important to keep in mind that any changes made to the system configuration directly through the panel’s
configuration menus will only be stored within the panel’s on-board memory. To retain a back-up copy of the
system programming, you should download the latest configuration settings from the panel each time you
service the system.
The following tables identify the configurable features that can be changed by using the panel’s programming
software C-Linx. The table also identifies features that are available, but not permitted to be used per the
CyberCat system’s UL listing.

Notes:
1. An audible signal that has been silenced at the protected premises shall automatically resound and remain energized until
silenced and retransmitted the signal to any supervising station to which the original signal was transmitted, as applicable, at
least once every 24 hours until the condition is corrected and the product is restored to the normal supervisory condition.
2. If synchronization is selected, both NAC circuits will use the same sync protocol.
3. Refer to Fike document 06-186 for compatible sync protocol.
4. Only allows the installer to assign the night time sensitivity to a different obscuration level than during normal working hours.
No other functions are affected or disabled.

Notes:
1. Peripheral device must be added to the Peripherals list before these configuration options are available.
2. This command contains status for Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble and all other states. Peripheral devices that have firmware
version before 3.00 should set this variable to STD, which is the original CyberCat format. The ESP selection refers to an
“Expanded” format. Peripheral devices with 3.00 firmware or newer will used this command. The EXP setting speeds up
operation of the peripheral bus.
3. If set to COMPACT, a message filter within the panel is used to prevent transmission of certain history record events, including
the NEW DEVICE history messages. This is done so that the peripherals do not display messages that are not required. If set
to VERBOSE, all history messages are transmitted.
4. HISTORY PACKING refers to how many history records are transmitted back-to-back with minimum time in between. If set to
UNPACKED, history records are sent one at a time. If set to PACKED, up to 50 history records are sent back-to-back. This
will speed up transmission of large amounts of history data.
5. HISTORY MESSAGE refers to what kind of data is packed into the history command. If set to STD (standard), data is packed
as with previous versions. If set to EXP (expanded), both lines 1 and 2 of the history data as shown on the LCD of the panel is
packed into the history command.
1. If annunciator type is set to Independent Operation, Sounder Base, or Relay Base an 8-row priority table will be displayed.
Table values are set using the Output Settings fields.
2. If annunciator type is set to Sounder Base, Silence and Positive Alarm Sequence (PAS) options will be displayed.
1. LED assignment options are tied to the specific LED function selected.

There are two basic methods for configuring the CyberCat system: AUTOPROGRAM or ENGINEERED
CONFIGURE.
3.3.1 AUTOPROGRAM
This configuration method is used for small systems requiring typically no more than one zone of operation.
This method allows you to connect all unaddressed devices to the panels SLC circuits and by using panel’s
AUTO ADDRESSING function, each device is randomly addressed in the order that they are recognized by
the panel. The panel’s LEARN function is then used to upload the default configuration held by each device
into the panel. Each device (inputs and outputs) is assigned to Zone 1 by default. At this point, the panel
configuration menus can be used to make simple changes to the system/device configurations. For more
extensive configuration changes, you should use the C-Linx configuration software to create a configuration
template, make necessary changes, and upload the modified configuration back into the control panel.
LNote: The drawback to using the AUTOPROGRAMMING method is that the devices are randomly
addressed; therefore, you must document the actual location of each device during the functional testing
of the system. If any device was missed, you must manually add it into the configuration.
3.3.2 ENGINEERED CONFIGURE
This configuration method is used for larger more complex systems requiring multiple zones of operation. In
this arrangement, a Fire Alarm designer creates installation documents for the project that identifies the
required location and address of each addressable device. The installer then installs and addresses each
device according to the installation documents. The following sections outline the different methods that can
be used to address each device.
Each addressable device is shipped from the factory defaulted to Loop 0, Address 0. This address must be
changed to suit the project requirements. There are several different ways of assigning addresses to a field
device. A general description of each addressing method is described below. Any combination of these
methods can be used to successfully address the field devices to match your project requirements.
3.4.1 HOW TO AUTO ADDRESS FIELD DEVICES (AUTO A)
This method allows you to take all field devices straight out of the box and connect them to the panel’s
signaling line circuit (SLC) without addressing the devices first. The Auto Addressing (AUTO A) function
when activated, allows the panel to identify all new addressable devices (Loop 0, Address 0) connected to the
SLC circuit. As each new device is recognized by the panel, it is automatically assigned the next available
address.
To Auto Address devices:
1. Press the ESCAPE key until the CyberCat’s TOP LEVEL MENU is displayed.
2. Press the F4 key to enter the systems PASSWORD entry screen, and then enter a valid Level 3
password.
3. Press the ESCAPE key to return to the TOP LEVEL MENU.
4. Press the F1 key to enter the systems CONFIGURATION MENU 1, and then press the F6 key four times
until the CONFIGURATION MENU 5 screen is displayed.
5. Press the F2 key to enter the AUTO ADDRESSING screen.

the ◄► arrow keys to move cursor to the field; then use the +/- keys to toggle the field.
• Row D - When you have the address range that you would like to have auto addressed, press the
ENTER key. Devices will NOT be addressed until it is added to the loop (NEW DEVICE record
identified) and the panel is reset.
3.4.2 HOW TO USE THE PANEL’S DEVICE ADDRESS FUNCTION TO ADDRESS A DEVICE
This method allows you to take a field device straight out of the box and connect it to the panel’s signaling line
circuit (SLC) to be addressed. The Device Address (DEV ADR) function when activated, allows the panel to
automatically assign an address to each new device as it is connected to the panel’s signaling line circuit
(SLC).

3.4.3 HOW TO ADDRESS DEVICES WITH THE IR TOOL (P/N 55-051)
The IR tool is a hand-held remote control that is designed to communicate with the CyberCat addressable
devices via infrared signals. The tool gives you the ability to assign an address to a new device that is
connected to the panel’s signaling line circuit (SLC).
By default the IR communication is disabled on the CyberCat loops. The user must first enable the IR
communication to allow the tool the ability to communicate with the devices connected to the SLC. Enabling
the IR communication requires a Level 3 password (Distributor Level).

The “Voice State Priorities” screen allows you to adjust the voice state priority levels of the panel when the
status of the voice system amplifiers and the messages they play are set by the following automatic fire alarm
functions: Alarm, Test Alarm, Supervision, and Process. When an input module or sensor activates one of
these states in a zone that is assigned to an amp, the state priority level must be higher than (1 being highest)
or equal to the priority set by an active voice switch (if one is active) for the amp to play the message
associated with these states. The same holds true for zones. The voice condition of the zone will be updated
only if the panel state priority is greater than or equal to the currently active priority.

available in Row B. Each amplifier can store up to 16 messages, each 30 seconds long.
• Row D (Speakers) - This range of fields allows you to set which of the four speaker circuits available
on the amplifier will activate for each panel condition available in Row B.
- = not used
1,2,3,4 = Indicates all four speaker circuits active
LNote: Do NOT select speaker circuits for EVAC and PAGE conditions if the amplifier is being
used for dual-channel operation. Speaker circuit selection will be made in the “Speaker Circuit
Configuration” screen.
• Row D (Sil) - This field allows you to set whether the amplifier speaker circuits can be Silenced (Y =
Yes / N = No) for each panel condition available in Row B. If nonsilenceable, the speaker circuits
remain active until the system is reset.
Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the appropriate field; then use the +/- keys to toggle
the field status.
C. HOW TO CONFIGURE SPEAKER CIRCUITS FOR DUAL-CHANNEL OPERATION
The Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit Configuration screen allows you to assign each of the amplifiers speaker
circuits (1 – 4) to one or multiple panel zone(s). It also allows you to set whether the audio source to the
speaker circuit will be supplied by the internal message stored on the amplifier or supplied by the amplifier’s
external audio source input, which is fed by the interconnected amplifier.
LNote: This configuration screen is only used if you are using dual-channel amplifiers. Dual-channel
requires two amplifiers to be interconnected together to basically form one amplifier that is capable of
playing the EVAC or ALERT message through any of the eight available speaker circuits (four per amp).
By default, one amplifier is designated as the EVAC amp and the other as the ALERT amp.
From the “Amplifier Menu” screen, press the F3 key to access the “Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit
Configuration” screen, as shown below:
• Row A (AMP ADR) – This field allows you to select the peripheral bus address of the amplifier. The
address can be changed, but will only change to addresses where the peripheral type is Amplifier.
• Row A (SPKR) – This field allows you to select the speaker circuit (1-4) to configure.
• Row B (EVAC/ALERT) – This field is used in conjunction with Row D to select the audio source for
the speaker circuit displayed in Row A. The field can be toggled between “EVAC” (evacuation) or
“ALERT” conditions.
• Row B (Zones) - This field allows you to select the 20 zone range (Zones 001-254) that is displayed
in Rows C & D.
• Row C – These numbers act as placeholders and zone number indicators for the range of zones
selected on Row B.
• Row D – The fields in Row D allow you to select the zones that will activate the speaker circuit
displayed in Row A (SPKR) and allow you to select the source of the audio message for the EVAC
or ALERT state indicated in Row B.
- = selected speaker circuit is not programmed for this zone
I = selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the amplifier’s internal
message
E = selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the audio message
supplied by the amplifier’s external audio input (interconnected amp)
Example: If the amplifier indicated in Row A is the EVAC amp and the EVAC/ALERT field in Row B
is set to EVAC, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should indicate “I” for internal. If the
EVAC/ALERT field in Row B is set to ALERT, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should
indicate “E” for external.
Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the specific field; then use the +/- keys to toggle the
status.
• Row B (CLASSA) – This field allows you to select the wiring style used by the modules Series 500
loop. YES sets the wiring style to Class A (Style-4). NO sets the wiring style to Class B (Style-6).
• Row B (ADR) - This field allows you to set the module address range in groups of 20 that are
displayed in Row D.
• Row C – These numbers act as placeholders and address indicators for the range of modules
selected on Row B.
• Row D - This range of fields allows you to set which fire-phone module addresses (1 – 99) are used
on the fire-phone riser. The fire-phone interface will only poll module addresses up to and including
the address shown as “M”.
- = no module present
Y = module is selected for supervision
M = indicates highest module address used
Use the ◄► arrow keys to position the cursor under the appropriate field; then use the +/- keys to toggle
the field status.
When configuring a Fire-Phone Interface, the “Z” (zone) on Row C of the Peripheral Configuration
Screen (See Exhibit 4-41) will be replaced with an “M”. The value to the right of the “M” is the maximum
module address polled as set by Row D above.
LNote: The Fire-Phone Interface module is the source of the System Sensor Series 500 addressable loop
(Style 6). Up to 99 addressable fire-phone modules can be connected to the loop.
4.4.1.2 HOW TO SET THE PERIPHERAL BUS COMMAND SOURCE

• Row C - Use the +/- keys to toggle field value from Panel to USB Connector.
PANEL mode is set by default and allows the panel to communicate with peripheral devices
connected to the CyberCat 254, CyberCat 1016 and Cheetah Xi panel’s RS485 bus. In this mode,
peripheral device configuration is transmitted during the panel configuration process via the panel’s
P5 Peripherals jack. You will be prompted by the C-Linx software to move the programming cable
from the P3 Computer jack to the P5 Peripherals jack to transmit the device configurations.
USB CONNECTOR mode is used for CyberCat 50 and Cheetah Xi 50 peripheral device
configuration. In this mode, peripheral device configurations are transmitted during the panel
configuration process via the panel’s P3 PC/USB jack. You must keep the cable in the USB port,
enter the Level 3 password at the panel and go to this menu to re-direct the configuration information
out the peripheral bus.
LNote: After a system reset, the peripheral source will return to the default PANEL mode.
