4100U-S1 Fire Panel Operator’s Guide

Fire detectors in the building are grouped into zones (searchable areas). Zones can be Isolated by pressing the zone’s isolate pushbutton on the panel – this prevents an alarm from activating the panel outputs. When a non-isolated detector detects an alarm, the fire panel rings the bell, calls the fire brigade, activates the Warning or Evacuation System and any other programmed functions.

The Fire Panel display consists of two sections – the Operator Interface (upper section) and the Zone Isolate pushbutton switches & indicators (lower section).

The Operator Interface indicates common Alarm, Fault & Isolation Status on LEDs, and point (detector) status on the LCD. When an Alarm, Fault or Isolation occurs, the buzzer will operate until the corresponding acknowledge (Ack) key is pressed.

Silence the Bell: Press the EXT BELL ISOLATE key.

Isolate signals to Evacuation System: Press the

WARN SYS ISOLATE key. This will turn off warning sounders powered by the Fire Panel.

Isolate a Zone: Press the appropriate Zone Isolate pushbutton and the Zone Isolated LED will turn on.

Acknowledge an Isolation: Press the ISOLATE ACK key.

Acknowledge an Alarm: Press the FIRE ALARM ACK key.

Acknowledge a Fault: Press the FAULT ACK key.

The panel is reset by pressing SYSTEM RESET. If the alarm won’t reset the point may still be activated. Press FIRE ALARM ACK when the point alarm is displayed, then press DISABLE, ENTER. Press FAULT ACK (to acknowledge the fault caused by disabling a point), then press SYSTEM RESET again. The disabled detector must be re-enabled when the condition is cleared.

Basic System Description

Overview

Control Keys & Indicators

The Simplex 4100U-S1 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FIP) has three general functions.

• It monitors fire alarm initiating points (smoke detectors, heat detectors etc.).

• It activates fire alarm notification devices (bells, strobes, brigade call) when an initiating

point activates.

• It monitors and controls ancillary building equipment (fan controls, relays, etc).

Note: The term point is used extensively throughout this manual. It is a generic

term used to refer to an individual component of the system, such as a single smoke detector, a single break-glass manual call point, etc.)

The operator interface, shown in Figure 1-2, allows a system operator to control and monitor the site-specific components connected to the 4100U-S1 FIP.

Control Keys & Indicators

Overview

Control Keys &

The control keys and indicator LEDs are located on the far left of the Operator Interface. A control key is pressed to perform the labelled function, and the associated LED turns on to show the function is active. Pressing the key again de-selects the function and turns off the LED.

• Zone Alarm - The red indicator is on when

there is an active (non-isolated) alarm in any zone.

• Fault Test On – This indicator lights when

zone fault tests have been enabled by pressing the ALARM/FAULT TEST key. When this indicator is on, and a zone isolate key is pressed, a fault test is performed on that zone.

• Alarm/Fault Test –This key cycles between

Alarm Test, Fault Test, and Normal for zone test modes. The indicator lights when zone alarm tests are enabled, the Fault Test On indicator lights when fault tests are enabled, and both these indicators are off when alarm/fault tests are not enabled.

When this indicator is on, and a zone isolate key is pressed, an alarm test is performed on that zone. Any programmed outputs will operate (including the Brigade signal). If the zone was already isolated then the test will not de-isolate it, i.e. the programmed outputs will not operate.

• A/C Auto/Reset – The indicator lights when

the air conditioning system has been automatically controlled by the 4100U. Pressing the key will reset the air conditioning system to normal operation.

• ACF Isolate – When this key is active, it

prevents ancillary controls: door holders, security trips etc. from operating.

• Bell Isolate - When this key is active, it

prevents the fire alarm bell from operating.

• Warn Sys Isolate - When this key is active, it

prevents the Warning System from operating.

CAUTION: OPERATION OF THESE KEYS MAY CAUSE ALARM SIGNALS TO SOUND OR FAULT CONDITIONS TO BE GENERATED BY THE SYSTEM.

These keys can be pressed at any time. The key feedback (beep on buzzer) and the LED turning on/off may be the only acknowledgment of the action.

Managing Alarm Conditions

Introduction

In this Chapter

An alarm condition occurs when an actuating device (such as a manual call point, smoke detector, etc.) activates. The 4100U-S1 indicates the presence of the alarm condition through messages it displays on the alphanumeric display, by illuminating the ALARM indicator LEDs, and by activating the building’s EWS and external bell.

This chapter describes using the Operator Interface Panel keys to investigate and manage alarm conditions.

Acknowledging Alarms

What the System Does When an Alarm Occurs

When the first alarm condition is detected by the 4100U-S1, the panel does the following to indicate the presence of the alarm.

• Red Fire Alarm and common Zone Alarm LED indicators flash

• Red Zone Alarm LED flashes on the display module showing the affected zone.

• Sounder (buzzer) pulses

• Emergency Warning System (EWS) and External bell activate

• Alphanumeric display on the operator interface shows the location and type (smoke, call

point, etc.) of the point in the alarm condition. An example is shown in

Figure 2-1.

• Any programmed outputs, including the Brigade connection, operate.

Overview – Acknowledging Alarms

Figure 2-1. Alphanumeric Display Showing Typical Alarm

The first step in managing an alarm condition is to acknowledge the alarm. Acknowledging an alarm does two important things:

• It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the alarm and stores that information in the system’s historical log.

• If multiple alarms are present, the system displays specific data for the next alarm when you press the <FIRE ALARM ACK> key.

2-2

Page 21

Acknowledging Alarms, Continued

Procedure

Use the following procedure to acknowledge alarm(s).

1. Unlock and open the enclosure door. Read the alphanumeric display . It alternates between the display shown in fig 2.1 & the summary shown below.

* * * ALARM* * * Press < FI RE ALARM ACK> to review .

ALARMS = 1 I SOLATED = 0 FAULT = 0

2. Press the <FIRE ALARM ACK> key. Pressing the ACK key causes the following to occur:

• Buzzer silences

• Fire Alarm indicator changes from flashing to steady ON. Note that the Zone

Alarm indicator continues to flash until the zone is isolated or reset.

Page 22

Isolating (Silencing) the EWS or External Bell

Overview

Isolating the EWS

Isolating the External Bell

Isolating the Zone

When an alarm condition occurs, the building’s warning system activates to warn the building’s occupants about the alarm condition. In addition, the external bell sounds to indicate the location of the 4100U-S1 FIP. During maintenance or testing, these outputs can be prevented from activating by isolating them before an alarm occurs. In a real alarm situation, they should be left operating until Brigade personnel choose to turn them off.

While the alarm exists and the zone is unisolated, pressing the <WARN SYS ISOLATE> key (control key) toggles the state of the warning system output.

The following occurs when the <WARN SYS ISOLATE> key is first pressed.

• Warning System Isolate indictor turns steady ON.

• The Emergency Warning System (EWS) turns OFF. If the EWS is a separate system (e.g.

EWIS), then you may have to manually reset the EWIS panel.

The occurrence of another alarm will not activate the EWS again until the warning system is de-isolated. When the panel has been reset, leave the EWS de-isolated.

While the alarm exists and the zone is unisolated, pressing the <EXT BELL ISOLATE> key toggles the state of the external bell output.

When the bell is sounding due to an alarm condition, pressing the < EXT BELL ISOLATE> key once does the following

• EXT BELL ISOLATE indicator turns steady ON.

• The External Bell turns OFF.

The occurrence of another alarm will not activate the external bell again until it is de-isolated. When the panel has been reset, leave the external bell de-isolated.

Note that pressing the Isolate key for every zone that is in alarm will turn on each corresponding zone isolate LED and turn off all outputs activated by the zone being in alarm, such as the warning system and external bell.

Note also that with a point or zone in alarm (e.g. by use of Alarm Test) the above function Isolate keys can be used during testing to briefly turn on an output and check that it works.

Isolating ACF Outputs

Overview

Operation

Restoration

The Ancillary Control Facility (ACF) consists of relay outputs which can be used to control equipment which is not part of the 4100U-S1 fire alarm system, such as shutting down air conditioning or returning lifts to a certain floor.

During maintenance or testing, these outputs can be isolated, to prevent unwanted annoyance to the building occupants.

Press the ACF ISOLATE key once. The ACF ISOLATE indicator will light, and the Isolate indicator above the Isolate Ack key will flash. The LCD will display a message:

ACF I SOLATE PRESS < ACK> key to acknowledsge

Press the Isolate Ack key to acknowledge that the ACF is isolated.

Note that isolation takes effect immediately from pressing the ACF ISOLATE key, not from when the Isolate Ack key is pressed.

Press the ACF ISOLATE key once. The ACF ISOLATE indicator goes out.

Note: If there are any alarm conditions still active, the ACF outputs will operate as

programmed, e.g., shutdown equipment.

Page 24

Resetting Air Conditioning Control

Overview

Indication

Resetting

The Ancillary Control Facility (see previous section) is used to control building air conditioning systems during a fire alarm.

During the management of the alarm, it is often desirable to be able to delay restoring the air conditioning system to normal operation, e.g., to clear smoke even after the alarm conditions have been cleared.

The A/C RESET control allows this delayed restoration.

When a zone alarm occurs, among the other alarm indications, the A/C AUTO indicator lights to show that the 4100U-S1 has taken control of the air conditioning system. This operation remains in effect even after all alarms have been cleared and the 4100U-S1 system has been reset and is back to normal.

Before the A/C AUTO operation can be reset, all alarms must be acknowledged, and the system must be reset via the System Reset key.

Once the system reset is complete, and there are no alarms present, the A/C AUTO RESET key can be pressed to restore the air conditioning system to normal operation.

2-6

Page 25

Displaying Event time

Procedure

1. Select the point by repeatedly pressing the <ALARM ACK> key (for a point in alarm),

<FAULT ACK> (for a point in fault), or <ISOLATE ACK> (for an isolated point) until the desired point is displayed.

2. Press the <EVENT TIME> key. The time and date that the point entered that state will be

displayed.

Page 26

Resetting Points

Overview

Reset Procedure

The Alarm state and some Fault conditions latch within the panel so they can be acknowledged and viewed. When the latched states are no longer required they can be reset.

The condition that caused each point to go into alarm must be cleared before the system can reset to the normal state, (e.g. smoke cleared from smoke detectors, glass replaced in manual call point).

Press the <SYSTEM RESET> key. What happens next depends on whether all alarm conditions are clear or not, as follows:

• If all Alarm Conditions are Clear, the system outputs two messages. One

indicates that the system is processing the action. This message is followed by a message stating, “No Alarms Present - System Reset Complete.” If the individual acknowledge option is enabled on the system, you may also need to acknowledge the alarm again when it clears.

• If any Alarm Condition is Not Clear, the system attempts to reset the point for

25 seconds. During this interval, it displays a message that reads, “System Reset in Progress”. If the point fails to clear, the system displays a message that reads “Alarms Present – System Reset Aborted”.

Note: If this occurs, you must clear (fix) the condition that is causing the alarm or disable the point from the panel. Refer to “Disabling a Point” in Chapter 4 for information on doing this.

Managing Fault and Isolate Conditions

Introduction

In this Chapter

Fault conditions are used to indicate something wrong, e.g. the presence of a field wiring problem (circuit break, short or ground), somewhere between the 4100U-S1 and one of its points. Faults are also used to indicate a problem with the 4100U-S1’s option cards, power supplies, network card, etc.

Note that disabling a point introduces a fault condition into the system.

Isolate conditions exist when one or more zones have been manually isolated by an operator, e.g. to prevent a false alarm when maintenance work (e.g. building repairs, welding) is being done in an area.

This chapter describes using the operator interface keys to investigate the details of the fault condition, and to view isolate conditions.

Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.

Acknowledging Fault or Isolate Conditions

How the 4100U-S1 Indicates the Presence of a Fault

When a fault or isolate condition is detected by the 4100U-S1, the operator interface does the following:

• The yellow “FAULT” or “ISOLATE” indicators flash

• The sounder (buzzer) sounds steady

• The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates the fault or isolate condition, as

shown below.

What Acknowledge Does

Figure 3-1. Operator Interface Showing Fault Condition

The first step in managing a fault or isolate condition is to acknowledge the condition. Acknowledging a fault or isolate condition does two important things:

• It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the condition and stores that information in the system’s historical log.

• When you press the <FAULT ACK> or <ISOLATE ACK> key, the system displays specific data on the location of the condition. (In the case of Isolate it gives confirmation on the LCD that you have isolated the correct zone).

It is important to understand that the 4100U-S1 can be configured with either Global or Individual Acknowledge. These options function as follows:

• Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the <FAULT ACK> key acknowledges every point that is currently reporting a fault condition. Similarly for <ISOLATE ACK>.

• Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the <FAULT ACK> key must be pressed repeatedly to individually acknowledge each fault condition. Similarly for <ISOLATE ACK>.

Acknowledging Fault or Isolate Conditions, Continued

Panel Operating Procedure – Fault Condition

1. Unlock and open the panel door. The yellow Fault indicator (LED) will be flashing and the sounder (buzzer) sounding. The alphanumeric display shows a message similar to the following. (This example shows a fault. The screen for isolate conditions is similar).

2. Press the <FAULT ACK> key. The manner in which the system responds depends on whether global or individual acknowledge is enabled on the panel.

• Global Acknowledge. The panel acknowledges all faults that are currently active,

displays the message “Global Acknowledge” for approximately two seconds, turns off the sounder, and changes the FAULT indicator from a flashing state to ON steady.

• Individual Acknowledge. The panel acknowledges only the fault that is currently

displayed on the alphanumeric display. If additional faults remain, the sounder does not turn off and the FAULT indicator continues to flash. Use the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys to display information on the other faults and then use the <FAULT ACK> key to acknowledge them.

The sequence is the same for Isolate.

* * FAULT* * Press FAULT ACK to review.

ALARMS = 0 FAULTS = 1 I SOLATES = 0

Resetting Fault Conditions

Most faults automatically clear from the system when the problem causing the fault (wiring, device, etc.) has been fixed. Some faults, such as open circuit faults on IDNet communications lines, latch until they are reset manually or cleared by pressing the <SYSTEM RESET> key once the fault condition has been fixed.

3-3

Page 30

Viewing Fault or Isolate Conditions

Overview

You can view the list of acknowledged fault or isolate conditions at any time by using the following procedure.

1. Press the <FAULT ACK> or <ISOLATE ACK> key to enter the fault or isolate list. The first fault or isolate condition in the list appears in the display. The top line indicates the custom label of the point. The bottom line contains two parts. The left side of the bottom line shows the type of device. The right side of the bottom line identifies the type of condition, fault or isolate.

2. At this point, each time you press the <FAULT ACK> or <ISOLATE ACK> key, the next point in the list appears. You can also use the <NEXT> or <PREVIOUS> keys to step through the list.

Alarm and Fault Test for Zones

Alarm Test

Fault Test

Alarm Test forces a zone into the alarm state. Once the zone is in alarm, you can check to see if the system reacts in the way that it has been programmed (i.e., do signals sound in the correct manner? do relays function correctly? etc.).

Note: When you force a zone into alarm if the zone is not isolated then any outputs that are programmed to activate on alarm will activate, including Brigade signalling.

Follow these steps to perform an alarm test on a zone.

1. Press the <ALARM/FAULT TEST> key (on the Control Keypad until “ALARM TEST READY” is displayed). The ALARM TEST LED will turn on.

2. While the ALARM TEST LED is on, press and hold the appropriate <ZONE ISOLATE> key. The red Zone Alarm LED will turn on while the button is pressed.

Note: The Alarm Test function is cancelled if the Alarm/Fault Test key is pressed again, or after 1 minute of no testing.

The fault test allows you to simulate a fault condition on a zone. This allows you to test the manner in which the FIP reacts to the fault. For example, you may want to verify the operation of the brigade interface.

Note: When you force a zone into fault if the zone is not isolated then any outputs that are programmed to activate on fault will activate, including Brigade signalling.

Follow these steps to perform a fault test on a zone.

1. Press the <ALARM/FAULT TEST> key (on the Control Keypad) until “FAULT TEST READY” is displayed on the LCD. The FAULT TEST LED will turn on.

2. While the FAULT TEST LED is on, press and hold the appropriate <ZONE ISOLATE> key.

Note: The Fault Test function is cancelled if the Alarm/Fault Test key is pressed again, or after 1 minute of no testing.

Isolating and De-isolating Zones

Overview

Isolating a Zone

De-Isolating a Zone

This section describes isolating and de-isolating zones. Isolating a zone does not prevent any of the points within the zone from going into the alarm state, but does prevent the activation of any outputs that are programmed to operate when the zone is in alarm.

Pressing the <ISOLATE> key on a Zone Isolate module toggles the Isolate status. I.e., if the state of the zone is de-isolated, pressing the key isolates the zone. Likewise, if the state of the zone is isolated, pressing the key de-isolates the zone.

A zone is isolated by pressing the appropriate Zone Isolate key on the Zone Isolate Module. Zone Isolate modules are located below the Operator Interface. Each Zone Isolate Module supports 8 zones.

1. Press the ISOLATE key so that the Zone Isolate LED turns on. (Do not hold the key down).

2. Press the <ISOLATE ACK> key to acknowledge the isolate operation.

Zones are de-isolated by pressing the appropriate Zone Isolate key on the Zone Isolate Module.

1. Press the ISOLATE key so that the Zone Isolate LED turns off.

2. If individual acknowledge operation is selected, press the <ISOLATE ACK> key to acknowledge the de-isolate operation.

Disabling and Enabling Points Disabling and Enabling Points

Overview

Disabling a point

Situations such as a malfunctioning detector causing false alarms, or an activated detector that prevents the system from being reset, can be temporarily overcome by disabling that particular point. Disabling a point allows the system to be reset while repairs are being made. It takes the point “offline”. Disabling a point prevents the point from entering an alarm condition for the duration of time it is disabled.

Follow these steps to disable a point.

1. Select the point that you want to disable. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the <DISABLE> key.

3. Press the <ENTER> key.

The system generates a fault condition and message, indicating that the point is disabled.

Note: To disable a point that is in alarm, press the <ALARM ACK> key until the desired point is displayed, then press the <DISABLE> key and the <ENTER> key.

Enabling a point

Follow these steps to enable a point.

1. Select the disabled point that you want to enable, e.g. by repeatedly pressing the <FAULT ACK> key until the desired point is displayed.

2. Press the <ENABLE> key.

3. Press the <ENTER> key.

Note: The system displays a message indicating that the point will be enabled in 60 seconds. If the state of the device is such that an alarm condition will occur when the point is enabled, the system warns you that this will occur. You can abort the enable operation before the countdown timer expires by pressing the <DISABLE> key.

Turning a Point ON or OFF

Overview

Turning a Point OFF

It may be necessary during maintenance of the system to turn the outputs (for example notification devices and relays) off.

Turning an output point off is effectively isolating that output. Once turned off, the output will not turn on, even if an alarm condition that is programmed to turn it on, occurs. After the maintenance it is necessary to return the output to automatic control.

Turning an output point on forces the output to activate, even if there is no condition present that is programmed to turn it on. Some control points (e.g. Sonalert (buzzer) Inhibit, see below) are normally off, and may be turned on to perform a function. These must later be restored to “off”, not “auto“.

1. Select the output point that you want to turn off. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the OFF key.

3. Press the <ENTER> key to confirm the operation.

Turning an output point on or off generates a “Manual Override Fault,” which is used to remind you that the point has been manually turned on or off. You have to acknowledge the fault by pressing the <FAULT ACK> key.

Turning a Point ON

Returning a Point to Automatic Operation

Sounder (buzzer)

1. Select the output point that you want to force ON. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the ON key.

3. Press the <ENTER> key to confirm the operation.

When you are ready to return the point to automatic operation (i.e., the system, not the operator, controls the point), you need to select the point, e.g. by repeatedly pressing <FAULT ACK> until the point is displayed, then press the <AUTO> key and the <ENTER> key.

A loud buzzer is used in the Australian 4100U-S1 to meet the requirements of AS4428 (70dB at 1m with the door closed).

If doing testing or maintenance on the system with an operator at the panel, the buzzer may be inhibited by turning point P198 on.

Note that the point must be turned off when the panel is to have its door closed.

Selecting Points with the Entry Keypad

Overview

Selecting Points

The Entry Keypad, shown below, allows you to quickly select points. For example, pressing the ZONE key on the upper left side of the keypad selects the monitor zone category. After selecting a category, messages on the display prompt you for the specific point in the category. After a point has been displayed, you can scroll through all the points in the system from that point, or select another point directly by entering another identifier using the keypad.

You can use the keypad to select either a local point or a network point. A local point is one that is physically connected to the panel you are currently at, and a network point is one that is located on a different panel but has been programmed so that it can be selected and controlled from the panel you are at.

There may be several ways of selecting a point. For a point associated with a card, e.g. a device on an IDNet loop, you can use the Address key <ADDR> to first enter the card address, then enter the point number. If you know the full loop address, then use the IDNet key. The format for entering a point identifier address requires a hyphen between levels For example, a module with address 12 on IDNet loop 4 may have two sub-points. The address of sub-point 2 is IDNet 4-12-2. Only numbers and the hyphen keys are valid entries. The maximum number of digits allowed in an identifier input is eleven (11), including the hyphens, excluding the <ENTER> key. See the following table for other examples.

Refer to the following table for information on using the keypad to select local points on this panel.

Enter the number corresponding to the digital pseudo, analog pseudo, or list point. For example, pressing the <P> key then <2>, <ENTER> selects the Lamp Test Key pseudo point.

Enter a network node number, followed by <ENTER>. The system then prompts for the type of point you want to select. Press the keypad key corresponding to the type of point (Zone, Signal, etc.) Use the descriptions above for information on selecting the specific point.

For example, to select zone 3 on node 2, you would press the <NET> key, <2> then <ENTER>. Next press <ZN> (key 1), <3> then <ENTER> for zone 3.

Specify the address using the format c-p-s, where c is the card, p is the point, and s is the subpoint. You must insert the dash between the components of the address. Use the <-> key to do this.

For example, to select address 0-7-3 (Brigade Alarm Relay), you would press the <ADDR> key.

<ADDR> <0> <-> <7> <-> <3> <ENTER> Note: System points are given a card address of

0. The first real card address is 1.

Operator Access Levels

Overview

Operator access levels 1 through 4 are available to support the system. Level 1 is the lowest operator access level and does not require a passcode to be entered to access functions identified at this level. Level 2 through 4 require a passcode of the required level or higher to be entered prior to performing the passcode protected functions. Controlling actions may be classified with access levels 2 through 4. Routine actions are assigned to low access levels while access level 4 is reserved for special, highly sensitive operations (normally reserved for Simplex personnel). Entering a level 4 passcode enables you to access all the functions of the system.

A valid passcode must contain a minimum of 3 digits and not more than 10 digits. The available digits are 0 through 9. Passcodes are specified during order entry; then, programmed during system configuration. When Passcodes are not specified, the following default Passcodes are assigned.

LEVEL PASSCODE RANK

1 NONE LOWEST 2 222 SECOND 3 333 THIRD (Highest Operator Access Level) 4 XXX HIGHEST (used by Simplex trained Personnel)

The operator access level defaults to level 1 when power is first applied to the system, after 10 minutes of keypad inactivity, and when the user elects to log out. The <SYSTEM RESET> key press has no effect upon the access level.

The only way to increase the operator access level in the system is to select the “Change Access Level?” option in the Main Menu. Decreasing the level resets system access level to 1. Increasing the level requires a valid level 2, 3 or 4 passcode. The user is prompted to enter a passcode. The input is compared to all the valid system codes, and the system operator access level is set accordingly. If an invalid code is input, you will be notified with the message “ERROR. . . INVALID PASSCODE”, and will be allowed up to three chances to enter a valid code. After three unsuccessful tries, the message “ACCESS DENIED” will be displayed for a short time. The access level will not be altered, but you will no longer be in the “Change Access Level” menu option.

If a correct passcode is entered, the message “ACCESS GRANTED” is displayed. The new operator access level will be in effect until the keypad is inactive for 10 minutes or you manually reset the level through the “Change Access Level” option. While entering a passcode with the keypad, the key presses are acknowledged by a “beep”. The digits entered are not displayed. The cursor moves along, filling the position with an X to indicate that a digit has been entered. The <DEL> key can be used to delete the last digit. The <ENTER> key press is required to enter the passcode into the system.

Logging In and Out of the System

XXX

Introduction

The 4100U-S1 system uses four access levels, referred to by the numbers one through four, to control what system operators can do with the system. The system typically operates at access level one, which allows an operator to accomplish basic tasks without logging in to the system.

Other functions, for example certain control functions, may be passcode protected to prevent access by unauthorized personnel.

Follow these steps to log in to the system at access level two, three, or four.

1. Obtain the passcode for the access level at which you want to operate.

2. Press the <MENU> key. The alphanumeric display shows the following message.

3. Press the <ENTER> key on the numeric keypad. The following message displays.

4. Press the 1 key on the Numeric keypad. The display shows the following message.

5. Enter the passcode for the access level. The passcode can be up to 10 numbers in length. Press the <ENTER> key on the numeric keypad when you have finished entering the code. An X is displayed for each digit of your passcode, as shown below.

Press < NEXT> or < PREVI OUS> to scroll Change Access Level?

If the passcode entered in Step 5 is correct, the following message is shown.

After a brief pause, the system displays the granted access level, such as the level 2 message shown below.

Press the <C/EXIT> key twice to exit out of the menu selections.

Failure to log out allows unauthorized personnel access to the various passcode protected functions. If no keypad activity is detected for ten minutes, the system returns to Level 1 access.

Perform the following procedure to log out and return the operator access level to Level 1.

1. Press the <MENU> key. The following message is displayed.

2. Press the <ENTER> key. The following message is displayed.

Note: Logging in at access level 4 creates a non-clearable fault that requires the system to be restarted (the CPU card is reset) to clear. This ensures that the system is returned to its normal operating mode following service.

Viewing and Clearing Historical Logs

Introduction

In this Chapter

When an abnormal condition occurs, a record of the event is placed in one of two logs generated by the system, depending on the nature of the condition. These logs are:

• Historical Alarm Log

• Historical Fault Log

The historical logs contain a time stamp of the events surrounding abnormal conditions in the system. The information displayed with these lists are historical data only and will not contain any current point status. Separate lists are maintained for alarms and for isolates/faults. This chapter describes displaying and clearing these lists.

Displaying IDNet & Mapnet Device Status

Introduction

IDNet Display Information

IDNet Point Addressing

The IDNet options allow the use of addressable devices and TrueAlarm sensors with the 4100U-S1 FIP. Addressable devices communicate the exact location of an alarm to the system operator interface panel, improving recognition of the condition and subsequent response. It also pinpoints the precise location of fault conditions via the device custom label. Throughout this section, operations described for IDNet are also applicable for Mapnet.

When a IDNet device changes to an abnormal condition, or the operator enters a IDNet device address, the LCD display shows the current status of the IDNet device. After entering a IDNet device address, press the <MORE INFO> key on the operator interface panel to display additional device information.

Each IDNet device must have a point address in order to communicate with the 4100U-S1 FIP. These point addresses along with their custom labels are located in the Programmers Report. The Programmers Report shows the address for each device, separated by hyphens. Hyphens must be used when entering a IDNet address into the system. An example of a IDNet device address is "M1-5". The "M1" portion of the address identifies the IDNet loop or channel , loop 1 or channel 1. The "5" portion of the address, identifies the device number, number 5.

Note: New multipoint IDNet devices use sub-point addressing. These sub-points are addressed as C-DD-S, where S is the sub-point. Example: A FRIAM device has a relay at sub-point 1 & an input at sub-point 2 which would be accessed as M1-5-1 & M1-5-2.

How to Display an IDNet System Point

What To Do If an IDNet Point Will Not Reset

TrueAlarm Sensor Display Values

See Chapter 5, "Selecting Points for Status or Control" for IDNet operations.

If an IDNet device will not reset, you may decide to disable the point with the <DISABLE> key. When the disable procedure is performed, a System Fault occurs to remind you that the point is disabled. The disable procedure is the same for all system points (see section 2, "How to Disable a Point"). Maintenance personnel must be called immediately to repair the malfunction.

After the IDNet point is repaired, you can enable the point again.

Using the 4100U-S1 LCD and the display/action keys, the control panel can display various status conditions for each TrueAlarm sensor, the sensor's present selected sensitivity level as a percent of obscuration per foot. This selected sensitivity level is the value at which the FIP will cause an alarm condition. Seven (7) sensitivity levels are available for the TrueAlarm photo-electric sensor. The most sensitive setting is 0.2% OBS/FT (0.5% OBS/M) with the least sensitive setting being 3.7% OBS/FT (12% OBS/M).

Other individual sensor status conditions that can be displayed on the LCD display are shown below. These displays are accessed by either entering an IDNet device number for a normal device using <IDNET> key, or by pressing the <FAULT ACK> key for an abnormal device. To display each of the categories the <MORE INFO> key and the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys are used as shown below.

Walk Test™

Overview

WalkTest Group

™ by

Walk Test™ is a software-based function and is programmed to meet the customer requirements. The system will pulse the signals for alarm conditions, then reset. The signals will sound steady for 4 seconds to indicate fault conditions, then reset. A silent Walk Test™ may be performed (no signals will sound) and logging of events may be selected.

The auto reset/auto acknowledge operation allows for one-man testing without the need for someone at the main control panel to acknowledge and reset the system. The Walk Test™ mode also bypasses many of the delays that are inherent to the normal reset procedure, thereby allowing for a faster test. The automatic reset ( 5 second power drop) only occurs on the zone that comes in after a configurable time delay (default = 15 seconds). This delay can be optimally set (with the programming unit) for the time it should take for a zone to clear (i.e. magnet vs smoke tester).

If an alarm condition is detected from a zone that is not in the present active Walk Test™ group, the system will operate as a fire alarm panel and the active Walk Test™ groups are aborted. The system has an automatic abort or timeout for the Walk Test™ mode. If no zone within the active Walk Test™ group is activated within 8 hours, the system will abort the Walk Test™ mode and return to normal.

The 4100U-S1 will support up to eight Walk Test™ groups. This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the Walk Test™, and allows the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of output circuits which activate when selected.

If you select the Walk Test™ by group mode, a system fault will be reported to remind you that the Walk Test™ is enabled.

Whenever a Walk Test™ group is aborted, manually or automatically, the panel will sound the abort signal (three sets of two short pulses) to indicate that group is going back into service. If a control point in the list is already active (because of an abnormal condition), it is not used to signal the abort.

The group is placed into normal operation 60 seconds after the abort signal is heard. This delay protects against an unwanted alarm should an automatic abort occur while a device is being tested.

The system is default-programmed to allow the Walk Test™ to be performed without sounding audible signals. (See “Silent Walk Test™” and “Sig/No Sig”.) The Walk Test™ will not activate any point which is disabled. Therefore, you have the ability to manually exclude any point from the test. (See How to Disable a Point.)

You may enable the logging of Walk Test™ events, which allows each zone with an abnormal condition to be time tagged and added to the fault log. This is beneficial when a 100% silent Walk Test™, without visuals, is required. When testing the devices, use the alarm LED on the smoke detector, or a simple delay, to know when to continue to the next device. After test completion, check the log to verify that all zones activated the correct number of times and in the correct order.

Zone Coding Option

The system supports two types of audible signalling to indicate an alarm condition on a zone. By default, “zone coding” is used. This code matches the “ZONE” number associated with that point. The zone code is only used the first time a zone is reported. For subsequent alarms on the same zone, a single “0 CODE” (two short pulses) is used. Examples of Zone Coding are shown below.

Continued on next page

10-2

Page 67

Walk Test™, Continued

Zone Coding Option,

(continued)

Silent Walk Test

= Zone 3 (three long pulses) = Zone 12 (one long, pause, two long pulses) = Zone 20 (two long and two short pulses) = Zone 102 (one long, two short, and two long pulses)

NOTE: Zero Code = 2 short pulses.

Zone coding may be disabled for each of the eight Walk Test™ groups, Group 0 through Group 7, using the interface panel’s display. When zone coding is disabled (<F3> key to ZERO), a “0” code is always used, even for the first alarm. This method of testing is more appropriate for maintenance testing, once all wiring is verified.

When a control point is pulsed by Walk Test™, it is done without affecting the priority of that point regardless of its present value. This guarantees that Walk Test™ does not interfere with any required SMPL (software) operations during a real alarm.

IDNet followed by the device’s address number. Example: M1-1 sounds a 1,1 code. M4-123 sounds a 4, 1, 2, 3 code. IDNet

monitor devices sound the zone code, with the first digit being the channel number,

signal devices cannot annunciate codes.

The control points to be activated (pulsed) during Walk Test™ are determined by the contents of the control lists which are configured when programmed. Several options are available when configuring a silent Walk Test™ control list. The first option is to NOT put any audible signals into the control list. The second option is to disable the audible control points from the front panel, one at a time. The last option is to use the “NO<sig” option (controlled by the <F4> key) when in the Walk Test™ menu. If this last option is selected, none of the points in the control list will code (see “Sig/No Sig”).

Enabling Walk Test

Walk Test™ is enabled through the interface panel’s alphanumeric LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Walk Test™ is passcode protected. The Walk Test™ menu will not appear unless the operator is at the proper access level. To enter one of these levels, press the menu key, select the “Change Access Level” option, press the <F1> key to log in, and then type in the correct passcode for the level you desire.

Select the “Enable Walk Test™” option on the Main Menu, and press the <ENTER> key. Then use the following keys (<1> through <4>) to select the various Walk Test™ options.

• <1> Key - Enables/disables the Walk Test™ group. Press this key to enter Walk Test™ for the specified group. Press the key again to exit Walk Test™.

• <2> Key - Enables/disables the logging of events occurring during Walk Test™. When selected, all abnormal conditions are recorded in the historical fault log.

Enabling Walk Test,

(continued)

Walk Test Operation

• <3> Key - Allows you to choose between Zone Coding and Zero Coding. In Zone Coding a PNIS code for the tested zone is played (.e.g. Zone 12 is code 1-2). In Zero Coding, two quick pulses (code 0) are heard. In both cases, when a fault is reported from a zone, the signal circuits turn ON for 4 seconds.

• <4> Key - Enables/disables silent Walk Test™. When this key is pressed, it toggles the system to audible Walk Test™, where the signal circuits are turned ON to play the codes selected with the <F3> key, described above. Silent Walk Test™ is used in conjunction with the logging function when audible signals might disturb the building occupants.

During the Walk Test™, the first line of the LCD shows changes, including the status of the device under test. The second line of the LCD shows device status.

When the 4100U-S1 system is placed in Walk Test™ mode, any zone in the active Walk Test™ group(s) can be tested in any order. If zone coding is enabled, there is an advantage in testing all devices within one zone before going on to the next zone.

You should simulate an alarm and fault condition for each device being tested. If you are using an audible or visual indication, wait for it to clear before you test the next device. Otherwise, wait for an appropriate amount of time (based on the system reset delay) before moving on to the next device. The LED on a smoke detector helps you in this area because it indicates when the alarm is sensed, and when the detector resets. If zone coding is enabled, verify that the code heard or seen is correct.

Walk Test™ FEATURES

Introduction

Abort Audible and Delay on Reactivation

The Walk Test™ function has the following features:

• Abort Audible and Delay on Reactivation

• Active/Not Active

• Auto Abort on Alarm

• Auto Abort on Time-out

• Control Lists

• Delay Before Reset

• Log/No Log (Logging Option)

• Monitor Zone List

• Programmer Configuration

• Sig/No Sig (Silent Walk Test™ Selection)

• System Fault

• Fault Audible

• Zone Code/Zero Code.

These features are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Whenever a Walk Test™ group is aborted, either manually or automatically, the control list sounds the abort signal “TESTING COMPLETED” (or 0-0-0) to indicate that the group is going back into service, If a control point in the list is already active, possibly because another alarm has come in, the “TESTING COMPLETED” message will play before the alarm message. The group is put back into normal operating service 60 seconds after the abort signal is heard (if there are signals in the control list). This delay protects against an unwanted alarm should an auto abort occur while a device is being tested.

Active/Not Active

Auto Abort on Alarm

Auto Abort on TimeOut

Control List

The <1> key on the interface panel is used to toggle ON and OFF a given Walk Test™ group. All groups are initially inactive at system start-up. Any number of groups can be enabled at any one time. When a Walk Test™ group is enabled, its associated fault pseudo point is turned ON and must be acknowledged. If multiple Walk Test™ groups are required, press the fault acknowledge key after all Walk Test™ groups are selected.

When an alarm is detected from a zone that is not in the active Walk Test™ group, all normal control functions take place and the active Walk Test™ group is aborted. When a non-audio Walk Test™ is aborted, the system sounds a zero code three times. If an audio Walk Test™ is aborted, the system announces “TESTING COMPLETED” over the speaker circuits for the Walk Test™ group under test.

If there has been no activity within an active Walk Test™ group for 8 hours, the system aborts the Walk Test™ automatically.

A Control List is a point list that contains those control points (signals and/or relays) that are to be activated by a Walk Test™ group. By default, this list is initially filled by the system for Group 0, and includes all signal, visual, or coded control points.

Continued on next page

Page 70

Walk Test™ FEATURES, Continued

Delay Before Reset

Logging Option (Log/No Log)

Monitor Zone List

The programmer has the ability to set a Reset Time Delay. The delay time period starts after a zone alarm is detected and runs until the detector is reset. The length of the delay may be from 15 to 60 seconds, and may be adjusted depending on the method used to simulate an alarm. A longer value is desired if smoke is used to bring in each detector. By default, the delay is set to 15 seconds.

By default, the system enables the logging of Walk Test™ events. When logging is enabled, each zone that comes into alarm or fault is time-tagged and added to the Historical Fault Log. This is very beneficial in cases where a 100% silent test is required. When testing, remember to record the identity and order of the devices tested. When the Walk Test™ is finished, compare this record with the Historical Fault Log and verify that all zones activated correctly. The <2> key is used to enable/disable the logging of Walk Test™ events to the Historical Fault Log. By default, logging is enabled.

If the system is configured for a printer and the PRINT REPORT option is selected, the Historical Fault Log is printed on the system printer.

A Monitor Zone List is a point list that contains those detection points within a defined area of a building. This list is initially filled by the system for the first group, and includes all detection points. It can be edited using the tag list feature of the 4100U Programming Unit. An empty list signifies that a Walk Test™ group is not used. The programmer has the option of changing the label of this point list so that it is more meaningful for panel operation.. You cannot have the same zone in more than one Walk Test™ group.

Programmer Configuration

Sig/No Sig (Silent Walk Test™ Selection)

System Fault

Walk Test™ is a configured feature that is best programmed in the field with the 4100U Programming Unit. By default, Walk Test™ is protected at Access level 3. The access level required to enable your Walk Test™ is shown on the Programmer’s Report. Walk Test™ groups are selected from the LCD Main Menu. Selecting Walk Test™ on the Main menu brings up the Walk Test™ configuration screen which lists the set-up for the Walk Test™ groups.

The <4> key is used to enable the selection of the Silent Walk Test™. By default, the Silent Walk Test™ is enabled.

The Walk Test™ has the ability to test signal circuits for fault (i.e. open/short) conditions. This is accomplished by using the Walk Test™ output lists (L50 through L57) as the input lists for signal fault conditions.

For example, if a signal circuit fault occurs on a point in Walk Test™ output list L50 (Group

0), and Walk Test™ Group 0 is enabled, the Walk Test™ fault code will play on all

signal/speaker circuits in Walk Test™ list L50. Note that the signal fault is not inhibited. An actual fault condition will occur at the operator interface panel, but will be logged as a Walk Test™ fault for that signal. This fault automatically clears when the signal circuit is returned to normal in a Global Acknowledge system. In an Individual Acknowledge system, Point P4 (FORCE GLOBAL ACKNOWLEDGE) must be turned ON before performing a signal circuit Walk Test™. If Walk Test™ is not enabled for the group containing the signal circuit in fault, the fault condition passes through without playing the Walk Test™ code.

Maintenance Procedures

Introduction

In this Chapter

It is a requirement of AS1851 - Part 8, Maintenance of Fire Protection Equipment, that tests be carried out to ensure the system is fully functional.

The owner or tenant of the premises usually carries out the weekly test described. The maintenance company, under a Service Agreement, typically carries out the monthly and annual tests.

Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.

Topic See Page #

Weekly Tests 12-2

Monthly Tests 12-3

Annual Tests 12-4

WARNING

It is very important that adequate precautions are taken when doing any testing on the fire alarm system. Outputs of a typical panel include calling the Brigade, activating the building evacuation system, shutting down air conditioning, and may include release of extinguishant within the building.

Brigade signalling must only be tested with prior arrangement and use of the “test key” or other protocol as is applicable to the area.

12-1

Page 84

Weekly Tests

Procedure

Weekly tests should be conducted and should include the following:

a. Carry out a fire alarm call by simulating an alarm on detector zones as follows;

1. Isolate any system outputs you wish not to respond to the testing of the system, such as the external bell (using the <EXT BELL ISOLATE> key, the warning system (using the <WARNING SYSTEM ISOLATE>, and any other Ancillary Control functions (ACF) including AC Shutdown and MDH controls using the <ACF ISOLATE> key.

2. Place the fire brigade transmitter selector switch in the Isolate or Test position as per the arrangement with the brigade.

3. Operate the <ALARM TEST> key, then press and hold a zone’s Isolate key to activate the alarm test for that zone and test the response of the system’s signals.

To check the external bell, press the <EXT BELL ISOLATE> key while still pressing the zone isolate key.

Note: The correct operation of the bell should be checked each week.

b. Fault test a zone to check that the fault indicator and sounder (buzzer) are working. Cancel

the ALARM TEST. Press the <FAULT TEST> key, then press a zone’s Isolate key to activate the fault test for that zone.

c. On completion of the tests ensure that all switches are in the correct operating position and

that the system has been returned to its normal status. Should a fault condition exist, or if a circuit indicator did not illuminate when tested immediately contact your Maintenance company to rectify the problem.

d. Record the results of the tests in the logbook and check that all tests were logged by the

system printer (if present). If the printer logs any test as having failed, immediately contact your Maintenance company to rectify the problem.

Battery Test

The system has a weekly battery test programmed in the custom control.

This test causes the system to run off its batteries for 1 hour, with the charger turned off. The panel supervises the battery voltage, and if that gets low, indicates a fault and aborts the test (i.e. system reverts to running from the ac power). If an alarm occurs during the one hour test, the test is immediately aborted.

The battery test can be forced by setting the day and time to that specified as the start time (recommend setting time to 1 minute before programmed start time).

The start time should be recorded with the site details at the front of this manual.

12-2

Page 85

Monthly Tests

Procedure

In addition to the weekly test specified previously, the following inspection and testing procedures should be carried out each month:

a. Check all battery terminals and electrolyte levels, where appropriate. Maintain all batteries

in a serviceable condition.

b. Check condition of battery enclosure for corrosion and ensure the batteries are stored in a

safe and secure condition.

c. Check that all visual indicators operate correctly, including those on mimic or repeater

panels.

d. Check the operation of all aural and visual indicators external to the control and indicating

equipment.

e. Simulate fault conditions on all alarm zones to ensure that fault indicators, both aural and

visual where applicable, are operating correctly from each alarm zone facility.

f. Check that all control and indicating equipment is in a clean and operational condition, and

effectively dust-sealed.

g. Ensure that all fire indicator panels, sub-indicator panels, repeater panels, and mimic panels,

are clearly visible and readily accessible (see AS1670).

h. Ensure that all controls are returned to the normal condition.

i. Record the results of all monthly maintenance procedures in the logbook, including all items

requiring corrective action, adjustment, and the like.

j. Check that items previously recorded as requiring attention have been attended to, or record

the reason why corrective actions have not been completed.

12-3

Page 86

Annual Tests

Procedure

The annual tests consist of all the inspection and testing procedures specified in the previous clause and the following:

a. Visually inspect all detectors and sampling points for any condition which is likely to

adversely affect their operation, such as excessive deposition of dust or coating with paint.

b. Remove at least one detector on each alarm zone circuit and confirm the fault signal is

registered at the appropriate alarm zone facility.

c. Check the operation of 20 percent of the installed heat detectors and 50 percent of the

installed smoke detectors and sampling points in each alarm zone. The procedure for testing shall be such that all detectors are checked not less than once every 5 years for heat detectors, and not less than once every 2 years for smoke detectors and sampling points.

d. Detectors and sampling points that fail to operate shall be repaired or replaced and retested.

e. Check the operation of an ancillary control facilities and ensure that each controlled device

can be correctly initiated.

f. Check operation of all manual call points.

g. Check the power supply battery supervision. Disconnect the battery and check that a

“battery depleted/missing” fault occurs.

With the battery connected, measure the voltage with a calibrated voltmeter and compare the reading with that displayed on the LCD when the battery voltage point status is selected under Card Status for the SPS. They should agree to within 0.5V.

h. Visually inspect control and indicating equipment components for any evidence of

deterioration.

i. Check for any building alterations, changes in the environment, or utilisation of the

protected area which would require modifications to the system.

j. Ensure spare glasses for manual call points are available in the control panel and a tool for

replacing such glasses.

k. Record the results of all yearly maintenance procedures in the logbooks, including details of

detectors and sampling points that do not pass the visual inspection or fail to operate satisfactorily, and notify the owner or his agent of any faults within the installation.

l. Check that each sprinkler monitor point i.e. pumps running, main stop valve shut etc.

operate correctly.

m. Test all stair pressurization fans for automatic and manual start-stop and correct status

indicator at the Fire Indicating Panel.
