Working with Jobs

Introduction A job is a file that contains specific programming and configuration information for the FACP.

This chapter explains the basics surrounding creating and saving jobs, however, it is important
to consult the following chapter in this document, Panel Information and Configuration, for
crucial information on how to configure and program the job.

In this chapter

Creating Jobs When the programmer is opened on a computer for the first time, a prompt window appears

automatically requesting that the user create a job. If a job has been previously saved on the
programmer it automatically opens when the programmer is started.

To create a new job:

1. Start the ES Panel Programmer:

• If this is the first job saved for the FACP, the New Job window opens automatically.

• If a previous job opens, click on the New icon or select New from the File menu to
open the New Job window.

2. In the New Job window, select the job type:

- 4007 - for the addressable panel

- 4007H - for the Hybrid panel.

3. Enter the job number. The job name should be 8 characters long and start with a number.

• Ye a r. This is a two-digit field. Use the last two digits of the current year to indicate the year
in which the job is programmed.

• Month. This is a single character field. Use the numbers and letters shown in the example
below to indicate the month in which the job is programmed. See Table 3-1.

• File Type. This field is a single letter, used to indicate the panel type. There is currently
only a single supported type.

• Number. This is a three-digit field used to track how many of a specific job type have been
programmed during the month. For example, if the File type is 4100ES, enter the number
of 4100ES jobs programmed during the month.

• Job Version. When archiving a job, you can use letters to differentiate the jobs once they
have been archived. For example, once job 103E123A is archived, new edits should be
saved to 103E123B.

Opening Existing
Jobs

Setting Job
Preferences

To open an existing job:

1. Start the ES Panel Programmer.

2. Click on the Open icon or select Open from the File menu to access the Open window.

3. Open the job’s folder. It will have the same name as the job.

4. Once in the folder, open the “.SDB4100U” file.

To set the job preferences:

• Checklist: There are two preference settings for this option.

- Reminder: If this box is selected, the programmer generates a reminder dialog
each time you exit a screen whose corresponding entry in the Programmer Task
Checklist has not been marked as complete. For example, if you view the
General Information tab and its checklist entry is not marked as complete, the
programmer will ask whether you want to mark the task as complete when you
exit the screen.

- Build Warning: Attempting to build a job when all mandatory checklist tasks
are not marked as complete causes the programmer to generate warning
messages in the job builder screen.

• Default Central Station Email Address: This option allows you to set the default
central station email address used by a per point SDACT. The address that you enter
here automatically appears in the email address field of the SDACT card's

Job Notes To leave a note for the job on the programmer:

1. Once in the job, either click on the Notes icon or open the Tool menu and select Notes.

2. The Notes window opens and the user can type in relevant job notes. These notes are saved
with the job for future reference.

Saving Jobs There are two saving options in the programmer, Save and Save As. The Save option is used to

save the job in progress, the Save As option is used to save the job with a new name.

To save a job with Save:

• Click on the Save icon.

• Open the Edit menu and click on the Save option.

Note: When you click on the save option, the programmer overwrites the previous information and there is

no way to backtrack to the previous job.

To save a job with Save As:

1. Open the File menu and click on the Save As option.

2. Select either the Copy option or the Rename option:

• Copy: This option saves a copy of the currently open job under a new name in a new
directory. This option allows you to open and reuse the previous version.

• Rename: This option saves the job under a new name and deletes the content of the
previous job folder. For example, if a user renames job 333 as job 444, a new job
folder named 444 appears and the job folder 333 is empty.

Note: Conventionally, performing a Save As > Copy is the first action a technician takes when opening an

existing job to create a new revision. This way, if complications arise, the technician can return to the
previously saved revision.

Building a Job A job needs to be “built” before it can be downloaded. This process transforms the .SDB file

into a CFIG file that is compatible with the FACP.

Note: All configuration options and panel information must be complete before building the job. Any errors

detected during the build will abort the process.

To build a job:

1. Open the job.

2. Make the programming changes.

3. Start the build by either clicking on the Build icon or by selecting the Build item from the
Build menu.

4. The Revision History window appears and the user must enter:

• Their name.

• A brief description of the edits that were made to the current revision.

Once the information has been entered click on OK.

5. The Job Builder window then appears and displays all the elements in the job and their build
status. Once the compilation is complete, the final dialogue in the window will read either:

• Build Complete: This means the build has been successful and the job is ready to be
downloaded to the FACP.

• Build Aborted: This means that errors were found while the job was being built and
that the job build was aborted. The errors that caused the job to abort are listed in the
Job Builder window.

Description

(“dflt” indicates the default setting)

Select Service Reset to allow an operator to reset the system even though
the device causing the alarm has not restored to normal.

The typical application for this would be when a malfunctioning initiating
device (detector or sensor consisting of a base and removable head) causes
an alarm, but will not reset even though the off-normal condition is no longer
present. With this option enabled, the head can be removed and the system
(including the local energy masterbox, if provided) can be reset. Without this
option enabled, removing the head will cause the system to abort the reset
because it will not have seen the alarmed point/zone having restored to a
normal state, and it will not be possible to reset the local energy masterbox.
The default setting for this option is disabled.

If checked, pressing the Reset button performs an alarm reset followed by a
hardware reset. If this option is not selected, an alarm reset is performed if
there are fire alarms or supervisories in the system. Otherwise, a hardware
reset is performed.

When this option is selected, the display alternates between the summary
screen (with the number of active alarms, troubles, etc.) and the screen
showing detailed information on the first alarm received by the system.

If this option is not selected, the screen indicating the number of alarm
conditions on the system is displayed.

Non Steady
Audible Evac

When enabled, this option allows you to select the type of operation for Non
Steady Audible Evacuation Signals. The term Non Steady Audible Evacuation
Signal refers to any Notification Appliance capable of sounding a coded
signal. The default setting for this option is not enabled. Choices are:

• California Code 1. A coding pattern consisting of 12 beats within a

10 second span of time, followed by a 2 ½ second pause. This sequence
repeats four times (four rounds) and then terminates (i.e., the total coding
pattern lasts approximately one minute).

• California Code 3. Same coding pattern as California Code 1, however the

sequence repeats 12 times (12 rounds) and then terminates (i.e., the total
coding pattern lasts approximately three minutes).

• Fast March Time. A coded signal that uses 120 beats per minute. Each

beat consists of ¼ second pulse on, ¼ second off. Pattern repeats until
alarm silence.

• March Time. A coded signal that uses 60 beats per minute. Each beat

consists of ½ second pulse on, ½ second off. Pattern repeats until alarm
silence.

• Slow March Time. A coded signal that uses 20 beats per minute. Each beat

consists of 1.5 second pulse on, 1.5 second off. Pattern repeats until alarm
silence.

Temporal 4

•
cycles of 100

• Temp oral . A three-pulse coding pattern consisting of three ½ second
pulses, each separated by a ½ second silence. Each three pulse group is
separated by 1 ½ seconds of silence. Pattern repeats until alarm silence.

• On Steady.

Note: If the coding pattern selected here is not supported by the notification appliance,

it will be replaced by a default one.

When enabled, this option allows you to select the flash pattern output by Non
Steady Visual Signals. The term Non Steady Visual Signal refers to any Visual
Notification Appliance capable of emitting a pattern of flashes (such as
incandescent visuals). The default setting for this option is not enabled.

Choices are:

• March Time. A coded signal that uses 120 beats per minute. Each beat
consists of ¼ second pulse on, ¼ second off.

• Slow March Time. A coded signal that uses 20 beats per minute. Each beat
consists of 1½ second pulse on, 1½ second off.

• Temp oral . A three-pulse coding pattern consisting of three ½ second
pulses, each separated by a ½ second silence. Each three pulse group is
separated by 1 ½ seconds of silence.

Note: This option cannot be used for public mode signaling as defined in Section 4-4 of

NFPA 72-99.

This option allows you to set a duration (up to 60 minutes) that specifies how
long signals sound following an alarm. For example, with this option set at
2 minutes, building signals sound for two minutes and then automatically stop.
After the signals stop, the alarm condition remains active at the panel.

If Alarm Silence/Reset Inhibit option is active, it takes precedence over this
option. See description of Alarm Silence/Reset Inhibit below for more
information.

The range for this option is 60-3600 seconds. The default setting for this
option is not enabled. Set the point type for visual NACS to SVISUAL to have
them turn off at the same time as the audible signals.

annunciator or not. Annunciator numbers are assigned in the following manner: when a new
unit is added to a job, the unit is assigned the next available annunciator number.

When the first annunciator card is added to such a unit, it also assumes the unit's annunciator
number.

As additional annunciators are added to the unit, there are several cases where the annunciators
share their annunciator numbers. Any additional annunciator cards of the same type added to
the same unit also shares this number.
When an additional annunciator card of a different type is added to the unit, that annunciator
card is given an annunciator number distinct from the number assigned to the earlier
annunciator type.
A card’s annunciator number is important for correct LED Switch operation. For example, a
lamp test switch only lights lamps/LED on cards with the same annunciator number.
Exception to the rules above:

• Internal and external LCD Annunciators require their own annunciator number and do
not share numbers even with their own kind.

These rules apply to the annunciator sharing arrangement:

AN Rule 1 - The CPU is annunciator number 0.
AN Rule 2 - Annunciators of the same type in the same unit share annunciator numbers.

Editing Basic
Card Properties

All cards, regardless of whether they are the standard system cards (such as the system power
supply) or an option card, include the basic properties. The basic card properties are listed
below.

• Card Address. A unique number used to identify the card within the system. This
number must correspond to the card address dip switch settings on the card.

- Address 001 IDNAC/NAC power supply

- Address 002 IDNet and multiloop

- Address 003 Color user interface

Note: It is usually easier to first add the card to the job with the programmer and then set the dip switches

with the address automatically assigned by the programmer.

• Card Custom Label. This field describes the card's function, location, or some other
descriptive text.

• Unit, Box, Bay, and Block (location). The values shown in the fields reflect the
location in which the card icon was placed when you added it with the programmer. It
is possible to change these values; however, the new values must reflect the new
physical location of the card.

To gain access to the Card Properties dialog, do either of the following:

• Double click on any card icon in the work area.

• Right click on any card in the work area. When the list of choices appears, click on
Properties.

A window similar to Figure 5-2 appears.

Figure 5-2. Card Properties Window - Color User Interface shown as example

Edit these fields as follows:

• Enter a descriptive name in the Card Custom Label field.

• Use the Unit, Box, Bay, and Location (block) fields to change this information if
necessary. If you specify invalid information (for example, attempt to assign a card to a
fully populated bay), the programmer outputs an error message to indicate the
problem.

Viewing, Adding, and Editing Lists

Introduction A list is a group of similar points, sharing a common name, that can be monitored or

controlled as if they were a single point. For example, when you use a switch to turn on a list
populated with control points, all of the points in the list turn on.
The 4007ES FACP includes the following types of lists.

• Automatically Generated, Read-Only System Lists. These lists are created based
on the point type assigned to the point. Points cannot be manually added or deleted
from these lists.

• Automatically Generated, Editable System Lists. These are lists created based on
the point types you assign to the point. These lists are only editable after the automatic
list generation property is turned off for the list.

• User-Defined Lists. Switches, LEDs, and Custom Control equations all make use of
these types of lists. Switches typically control lists made up of control points (relays),
or standard NACs (horns/strobes). LEDs can be programmed to monitor a list and
turn ON when any point in the list activates. Custom Control equations typically use
lists of monitor points to indicate when a specific output action should occur, and the
points affected by the output action are typically specified in a user-defined list of
control points.

• Zone Lists. This option allows you to create up to 512 lists grouping together points
in one defined zone.

This chapter describes the programming of the four list categories, General Lists, WalkTest
Lists, Latching Supv Verification Lists, and Elevator Recall Lists, used by the Panel FACP.

Note: The Alarm Verification Tab can still be accessed through the List Tab, but it cannot be used.

Managing Points Default custom control programming within the system automatically adds points to system

lists based on their point type, a process known as auto list generation, or autogen. For
example, adding a signal point with the SSIGNAL point type automatically adds the point to
system list L8, Fire Alarm Points Off on Silence.
In some applications, however, you need to turn a system list's autogen property off, so that you
can manually move points into or out of the system list. This is particularly true when editing
WalkTest, Latching Supv Verification, and Elevator Recall groups.

Be aware that when working with the system lists, four icons are used to indicate the status of
the system list.

This symbol represents an auto-generated list with the autogen property turned on. When

autogen is turned on, points cannot be manually moved into or out of the list.

This symbol represents an auto-generated list whose autogen property cannot be altered.

The list is permanently set to autogen on and cannot be edited.

This symbol represents an auto-generated list with the autogen property turned off.

Indicates that the list is not automatically generated.

A system list's autogen property can be turned on and off in one of two places:

• General List Tab. Clicking on the General List tab displays all lists (system and user)
currently defined on the panel. Refer to “Turning Autogen Off and On from the
General List Tab” for specific information on doing this.

• WalkTest, Latching Supv Verification, Elevator Recall Tabs. Each of these tabs
displays a window that allows you to move points into the appropriate lists. Within
each window, you can toggle the autogen property to allow points to be moved into
and out of the lists. Refer to the specific section for information on turning off autogen
for Latching Supv Verification, WalkTest, or elevator recall.

Latching Supv
Verification

The ES Panel's Latching Supv Verification (LVS DUCT and LVSUPV) feature activates a
supervisory condition when a device crosses the threshold. This means that the supervisory
condition on the panel does not clear until the point restores to normal and a system reset is
performed.
The ES Panel FACP supports both Domestic (United States) and Canadian versions of
supervisory verification. Refer to “Selecting Canadian or Domestic (US) Operation” for
information on enabling the Canadian or domestic version of alarm verification.

Moving Points between Groups

By default, initiating devices with a latching verification point type are initially put in Supv
Verification Group 0.

To put points into other Supv Verification groups:

1. Open the List Window by selecting the List Tab at the top of the Programmer.

2. Click on the Latching Supv Verification tab at the bottom of the List Window.

3. Click on the Supv Verification group into which you want to move points. Right click and
select Tag List.

4. Use the mouse or arrow keys to highlight each point you want to move into the group. A
point is selected when a “>>” appears to the left of the point. Repeat this step to select other

single person. Conducting a WalkTest requires you to perform the following general steps.

• Step 1. Create WalkTest Groups. The ES Panel supports up to eight WalkTest groups.
This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest, and allows
the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of
monitor points (initiating devices) and a list of the signal circuits that activate when
one of the monitor points within the group activates.

• Step 2. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the
following:

- Which WalkTest Group is enabled.

- Whether the group's signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group
activates. Turn this option off to perform a silent WalkTest on the system.

- Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to
perform a silent WalkTest. Refer to the 4007ES Operator's Manual (579-1165) for
information on setting these options.)

• Step 3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals.
Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using the manufacturer’s
recommended test equipment. Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with
the lowest IDNet address and work toward the highest). Each time you activate an
initiating device, the system’s signals pulse a code that allows you to verify exactly
which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the signal
code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight,
the signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet devices, the first set of
pulses from the signals correspond to the channel. The signals then pause momentarily
and the next set of pulses corresponds to the number of the device on the channel. For
example, if you activate an IDNet smoke detector with an address of M1-25, the
signals would sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a short duration, and then
sound two pulses followed by a pause and then five pulses to indicate device 25. In
some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may
also want to verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble
on the device and then listen to the signals. The signals sound steady for 4 seconds to
indicate trouble conditions, and then reset.

WalkTest Moving Points between Groups

The WalkTest list consists of eight groups. The purpose of these groups is to allow a technician
to conduct a WalkTest in a specific area of a building (or different buildings), and limit the
activation of the building signals to only the intended area.
WalkTest Group 0 initially contains all of the monitor points and all of the signal points wired
to the panel. Each WalkTest group consists of two lines: one for monitor zones and one for
signal/relays.
Follow these steps to move points from WalkTest Group 0 (where they are initially placed) into
other WalkTest groups. Signal/relay points can exist in multiple groups, but monitor points can
be in only one group at a time.

1. Open the List Window by selecting the List Tab at the top of the Programmer.

Custom Control
Overview

ES Panel Custom Control — which is a wizard-based application used to create Custom
Control Equations — provides a way to override the ES Panel’s default operation and for the
ES Panel to function in a facility-specific way. Each Custom Control equation has a similar
form: one half of the equation, called the input side, is used to monitor the state of specific
system inputs (initiating devices, for example). The other half of the equation, called the
output side, is used to control specific system outputs (such as relays, notification appliances).
The output side executes only when the state of the input side is true. Another way to think
about Custom Control equations is to consider them as If/Then commands. If the input side of
the equation is true, then execute the output side.

The following examples help explain the way custom control is typically used with a ES Panel
FACP.

• Selective Signaling. Selective signaling replaces the system's general alarm NAC
operation — which activates all NACs in response to any alarm condition — with
selective NAC control. With this type of control you can program the system so that
only specific NACs respond to specific initiating devices.

• Fan and Damper Control following an Alarm. Controlling a building's HVAC
system following an alarm condition prevents supply fans from feeding a potential
fire and makes it possible for the HVAC system to exhaust smoke from the area in
alarm. In this case, custom control equations are used to monitor the initiating devices
in a given area and control the HVAC system’s dampers and air handling units to
provide the correct supply and exhaust pressurization.

Role of Lists and
Pseudo Points

Using lists and pseudo points (both user-defined and system) improves the efficiency of
Custom Control equations and makes it possible for a range of facility-specific operations to be
programmed.

• Digital Pseudo Points. Digital pseudo points store a value of ON or OFF.

• System Digital Pseudo Points, with these you can track when common actions (such as
a system reset) have occurred and activate facility-specific outputs as necessary.

• User-defined digital pseudo points can be used to signal that a specific event has
occurred. (For example, turn on a user-defined pseudo point to indicate when a water
tank is full.)

• Analog Pseudo Points. Analog Pseudo Points store analog values that can be used in
Custom Control equations.

• System Analog Pseudo Points store analog values (the number 128, for example), and
can be used as a threshold value within a Custom Control equation. (For example,
perform some output action when the value of the Number of System Troubles analog
pseudo point (A2) reaches a specific value.)

• User Analog Pseudo Points store user-defined analog values. The exact function of an
analog user pseudo depends on its point type—counter, timer, or analog value.

• List Pseudo Points. With User-Defined Lists you can refer to a specific group of
devices using a single reference. For example, creating a user-defined list called “Floor
1 Pull Stations,” and populating it with only the pull stations from floor 1 provides a
way to monitor all of the pull stations on the floor without writing an equation for each
pull station.

Anatomy of a
Custom Control
Equation

As mentioned above, every Custom Control equation has an input side, consisting of input
statements, and an output side, consisting of output statements.

Input Statements are typically used to monitor the status of a point or list, or perform an
action such as delay, cycle, compare two values, or save/recall values. Every input statement
begins with an Opcode, which is the action that the input is performing (for example, monitor
point status, recall memory register). The Custom Control wizard then displays a series of
opcode-specific dialogs. For example if the Opcode is Point Status, the dialogs prompt the user
for Qualifier about the condition (such as, alarm, trouble) and point being monitored.

Figure 9-1. Input Statement Example

Output Statements are the actions that occur only when the input side of the equation is true.
Every output statement begins with an Opcode, which is the general action that occurs when
the input side is true. The opcode is followed by a series of opcode-specific dialogs, with which
you can specify exactly how the selected opcode functions. For example, if you are using the
Set Opcode, the wizard displays a series of dialogs, with which you can specify a qualifier (for
example, on, off) and the point (a signal, for example) on which you want the output action to
execute.

Anatomy of a
Custom Control
Equation

Using Logical Operators (AND, OR, NOT) you can link multiple input statements to form
logical expressions. Logical operators are only used with input statements and are not used
with Output statements. ES Panel Custom Control uses the following logical operators.

• AND Operator. With the AND logical operator you can put a group of points in series
so that only the activation of all points at the same time causes the Output side of the
equation to occur. In the following example, Zone1 and Zone2 must both be in alarm
(FIRE) before the output (Hold ON SIG3) executes.

Figure 9-3. Logical Operator: AND

• OR Operator. With the OR operator you can put a group of points in parallel, meaning
the activation of any one of the points causes the output side of the equation to execute.
In the following example, if either Zone1 or Zone2 enters an alarm state, the output
(Hold ON SIG3) executes.

Using a Ladder
Logic Diagram to
Evaluate an
Equation

Figure 9-4. Logical Operator: OR

• NOT Operator. Use the NOT Operator to specify that a condition must not be true in
order for the output to execute. In the following example, the output side of the
equation (print message “Smoke not dirty” executes only if the condition of M1-1 is
NOT dirty.

Figure 9-5. Logical Operator: NOT

A ladder logic diagram is a “sketch” of the equation used to evaluate (predict the outcome) of a
custom control equation before it is entered into the programmer. Use the following
conventions when creating ladder logic diagrams:

• Draw a solid, vertical line on the left side of the sketch to represent the starting point
for the equation. Use a vertical dashed line to divide the sketch into an input side and
an output side.

• Use two vertical, parallel lines to represent each input statement. Add text between the
lines to describe the input statement.

Using a Ladder
Logic Diagram to
Evaluate an
Equation

• Use a circle to represent each output statement. Add text within or beside the circle to
describe the output statement. In the following example, the output side of the equation
contains a single output statement, HOLD ON SIG 1. This action only occurs if the
input side of the equation, which monitors point M 2-1 for the presence of a fire
condition, is true.

• Represent the OR logical operator by positioning inputs on top of one another as
shown in the example below. Represent the AND logical operator by positioning the
inputs beside one another.

Figure 9-6. Logic Diagram

The example shown above can be interpreted as: If point M2-1 or M2-2 or M2-3 and M2-4 are
in a trouble state, hold on Relay 1. M2-4 is the key here. At least one of the three on the left
(M2-1, M2-2, and M2-3) must be in a trouble state AND M2-4 must also be in a trouble state.
