1.1 SCOPE

The F4000 Fire Alarm System is very powerful and packed with many features. In spite of
this, it is very user friendly and intuitive to use.

The LCD front panel provides a simple, menu driven interface to allow control of the FIP and,
therefore, reference to this manual is rarely required for the experienced fire industry person.

This manual has been written to cover every aspect of the panel's operation and would
normally be consulted for reference purposes only, or when there are abnormal situations.

NOTE: This manual describes operation of F4000 FIPs fitted with Version V2.35N or later

software and an LCD keypad. Network operation is covered in this manual (it
previously was a supplementary manual) even though networking may not be
enabled in all panels. Operators of systems without an LCD should use LT0057,
as there are many differences in operation. Operators of systems with V2.0X
software should use revision 1.1 of this manual, and systems with V2.2(N) software
should use revision 2.23A of this manual.

For the less experienced user, start by reading the chapter on "System Description".

The building owner's representative responsible for the fire alarm system should be fully
aware of what is contained in this manual.

The Manual is structured into the following chapters:

Chapter 1: Introduction: An introduction to this manual, other F4000 Product manuals

and the standards relating to fire alarms.

Chapter 2: System Description; A description of the F4000 system features and

functions, and how networking alters a panel’s operation.

F4000 LCD Operator's Manual Document No: LT0117
System Description

Page 2-2 19 April 2002 Issue 2.38

2.1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS

2.1.1 OVERVIEW

The F4000 is a fire detection system designed to cover a wide range of applications. It
performs the functions of the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE), as specified by the
Australian Standards AS1603.4 for Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm Systems and
AS4050(INT) for Fire Fighters Control and Indication Facilities, and the New Zealand
Standard NZS4512 for Automatic Fire Alarm Systems in Buildings.

Figure 2.1 shows a block diagram of the F4000 System.

The F4000 Fire Alarm System consists of the following main components:

(a) A Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) containing an LCD Display and

(b) A number of "Responders" located around a Communications Loop. These

Responders, selected from a range of different types, provide the interface between
the various detection devices and the F4000 system.

(c) A number of optional Remote Zone Display Units (RZDUs) which mimic the FIP zone

displays at locations remote from the FIP.

2.1.2 F4000 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL (FIP)

The F4000 FIP is the heart of the F4000 system. It is microprocessor based and is the
MASTER display, operator control and Brigade Interface unit of the system.

A front panel view of the F4000 LCD FIP is shown in Figure 2.2. This shows a standard
panel for up to 48 zones minimum. A 19" RAC cabinet version allows for 64 zones
minimum.

Specifically its functions are:

(a) To constantly communicate with all Responders via the communications loop, to

retrieve data from them, to transmit commands to them, and to monitor their integrity
at all times.

(b) To process the data obtained from the Responders and to generate displays and

annunciations as specified by AS1603.4, AS4050(INT), NZS4512 and any additional
requests as entered by the operator. This includes:

i) Up-dating the zone status LEDs to shown the ALARM, FAULT and

ISOLATED conditions.

ii) Controlling the relays that signal the Brigade.

iii) Controlling the relays used to drive auxiliary system devices such as bells,

door holders etc.

iv) Controlling remote plant by sending control data via the communications loop

to Responders fitted with output devices.

(c) To provide a simplified operator/Brigade interface that allows personnel to easily

control the day to day operation of the panel (eg: to acknowledge alarms, test zones,
isolate zones, etc).

(d) To monitor its own integrity and annunciate internal fault conditions.

(e) To provide a means of entering or modifying configuration data or "SYSTEM

DATABASE" from a Programming Terminal. This defines what the specific F4000
system consists of and how it should respond to inputs and control outputs.

2.1.3 RESPONDERS

The Responders are located around the protected premises and provide the interface
between the detection devices and the F4000 System. They are low power devices, deriving
their power from the 4 core communications loop that runs from the FIP, through each
Responder, and back to the FIP again. The F4000 System can monitor and control a
maximum of 127 Responders.

It is this loop system that makes the F4000 System so adaptable since larger systems are
implemented simply by extending the loop and adding more Responders in the appropriate
places.

To the "Operator" and "Fire Brigade", the Responders are "transparent" in that they simply
serve as data concentration points and have no operator features themselves.

2.1.3.1 ADVANCED DETECTOR RESPONDER (ADR)

The ADR is the standard alarm zone circuit processing unit of the F4000 system. ADRs are
therefore usually located near the zone circuit(s) they monitor. Up to four (4) Alarm Zone
Circuits may be connected to each ADR to monitor the approved compatible actuating
devices wired on the circuit.

The ADR may be upgraded to an "Advanced Relay (Detector) Responder" (ARR), with the
addition of a plug-in Responder Relay Module (RRM). This adds four (4) relay outputs to the
inputs provided on each ADR. Each relay can be programmed to operate on specific input
conditions. Alternatively the relay may be configured to belong to an ANCILLARY
CONTROL ZONE, so that operated, isolated and fault indications may be shown at the
F4000 FIP.

2.1.3.2 ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE RESPONDER (AAR)

The Analogue Addressable Responder (AAR) allows up to 200 analogue addressable
devices to be connected on a loop of its own. These devices may be analogue addressable
smoke detectors or addressable device units (ADU) that provide specific input and output
facilities. The addressable devices may be mapped to zones in the same way that ADR
circuits are.

System Description

Page 2-6 19 April 2002 Issue 2.38

2.1.3.3 INPUT OUTPUT RESPONDER (IOR)

The Input/Output Responder (IOR) provides up to 32 digital inputs and up to 32 digital (or
relay) outputs, depending on its setup and the termination boards attached to it. To the FIP,
the IOR appears to be up to 8 ADRs (or ARR). The IOR is ideal for when a large number of
switched inputs or outputs are required at the same location.

2.1.3.4 MULTI-PROTOCOL RESPONDER (MPR)

The Multi-Protocol Responder (MPR) allows up to 200 analogue addressable devices to be
connected on a loop of its own. These devices may be analogue addressable smoke
detectors, addressable thermal detectors, addressable device units (ADU) that provide
specific input and output facilities, or addressable monitor and control modules. The
addressable devices may be mapped to zones in the same way that ADR circuits are.

MPRs with V1.01 or earlier software are limited to devices using the EWD protocol, ie Nittan
analogue addressable smoke detectors, ADUx I/O devices and the Z54A addressable base.
The operation of these MPRs is similar to the AAR.

MPRs with V2.00 or later software are able to communicate with one of two device families,
i.e.

(a) EWD Devices,ie Nittan analogue addressable smoke detectors, ADUx I/O devices

and the Z54A addressable base; or

(b) "130 Series" Devices, ie smoke detectors, thermal detectors, monitor modules and

control modules.

EWD DEVICES "130 SERIES" DEVICES
C7xA Smoke C131A Smoke
P7xA Smoke P131A Smoke
ADU002 Input T131A (with Type A or B operation) Heat
ADU003A Output ADM130 Input
ADU004A Output ADM131 Input
ADU006 Conventional ADM133 Input
Z54A Heat Base ADC130 Output

The device family is programmable on a per MPR basis, and an F4000 system can support
"130 Series" MPRs on the same F4000 responder loop.

2.1.4 F4000 COMMUNICATION LOOP

The F4000 "COMMUNICATIONS LOOP" is a 4 core loop that runs from the FIP, through
each Responder, and back to the FIP again. The loop powers the responders, and allows
the FIP to receive the circuit status from the responders and control their outputs.

The 4 wires of the communications loop are:

(a) Responder Power - 24V DC
(b) 0 Volt Common
(c) Communications Path 1
(d) Communications Path 2

The loop structure is such that it provides a very high degree of immunity against fault
conditions. A short circuit between any two wires or an open circuit in any wire is detected
and isolated so that the FIP is still able to power and communicate with all Responders.

2.1.5 REMOTE ZONE DISPLAY UNIT (RZDU)

The F4000 system may include up to eight (8) Remote Zone Display Units (RZDUs) that are
monitored by the FIP, to provide repeater indicator panels at strategic points in large
premises. (i.e. mimic the zone displays of the master FIP at other parts of the protected
building). A number of additional non-monitored RZDUs and IO-NET boards may also be
connected.

The RZDU may be LCD based like the FIP, or be LED only. With both types 'System' and
'Fire Brigade' functions are available via the keyboard.

Programming of the RZDU allows it to display only a selected range of the zones shown at
the FIP. This could allow, for example, an RZDU on each floor of the building to show only
those zones on that floor.

In combination with the FIP's ability to allow Brigade function keypresses from an RZDU to
act upon a selected range of zones, RZDUs can provide for flexible zone display and control
applications to be configured.

The RDU (an LCD-based RZDU) can also send Brigade Test, Bells Isolate/ De-Isolate, and
Ancillary Isolate/De-Isolate commands to the FIP.

Additionally it allows individual zone acknowledgement, reset and isolate commands via the
FFCIF, and zone reset, isolate, de-isolate and status recall from the standard menu system.

2.1.6 COLOUR GRAPHICS TERMINALS

The F4000 System supports the addition of colour graphics display and control terminals
(CG4000) on the RZDU communication bus.

These units can be programmed to show graphical displays on zone alarm or fault
conditions. The operator can use function keys or the optional touch screen to generate
Silence, Reset and Isolate commands to the FIP and thus have remote control of the
brigade functions. The CG4000 will run on an IBM AT or compatible computer.

2.1.7 LOGGING PRINTER

A serial printer may be connected to the F4000 Master FIP to provide a log of events and
operator actions. The FIP can be programmed to print any combination of the following
event types:

(i) Zone Events, e.g. Alarm, Fault;
(ii) Zone Commands, e.g. Reset, Isolate;
(iii) Circuit & Point Events, e.g. Alarm, Fault;
(iv) A 24 hour "System Running" event.

The printer will always print System Events, e.g. communications failures, battery faults, etc.

The printout includes the time and date, the cause of the event (e.g. Zone, Circuit, RZDU or
FIP), and the event type. Events and commands for zones that have had a text name
programmed also have the name printed. The FIP is able to store up to 200 events for
printing, being the first 200 events to occur.

As events are printed, more events are able to be put into the list. If events cannot be put
into the list because it is full, the FIP keeps count of those events it has had to discard.

System Description

Page 2-8 19 April 2002 Issue 2.38

LOGGING PRINTER (CONTINUED)

When the FIP is next able to put more events into the list, it prints out the number of events it
had to discard.

The FIP separately maintains an internal history of the 900 most recent events. This history
can be viewed on the LCD and via the programming terminal. It can also be printed out, and
used to reconstruct the printer log if the F4000 FIP had to discard printer events.

2.1.8 PROGRAMMING/DIAGNOSTIC TERMINAL

The F4000 FIP also provides for the connection of a "PROGRAMMING/ DIAGNOSTIC
TERMINAL", usually a personal computer, to configure the F4000 system and provide
service diagnostic functions.

This is a temporary system component, and is ONLY required by the installer during
commissioning, or service. In normal system operation this could be replaced by the logging
printer for recording events and operation of controls.

2.1.9 NETWORKING OF F4000 FIPS

The F4000 Network LCD is an enhancement of the F4000 LCD that allows it to
communicate with other Panel-link compatible network devices, e.g. other networked F4000
or F3200 fire panels, networked printers and Colour Graphic displays.

The networking feature allows for F4000 to share:

(i) Alarm information for display and control of alarms on the LCD. Alarms on one FIP

can be displayed at other FIPs and Colour Graphics displays. Alarms can be
acknowledged, reset and isolated from the FIPs and Colour Graphics displays.

(ii) Output Logic status, allowing status and controls generated by the Output Logic at

one FIP to be used by the Output Logic at another FIP, e.g. for extended AS1668
Fan Controls.

(iii) MAF Status, so that one FIP can be a common brigade interface point for a number

of FIPs elsewhere on site.

(iv) Event Information for status monitoring and network event printing on network

printers and Colour Graphics displays, e.g. Overviews.

(v) Bells controls for activating, isolating and silencing the bells on remote FIPs as a

result of alarms or operator controls on the local FIP.

(vi) Zone Circuit and Point Status for monitoring applications.

(vii) Control of F4000 LCD/keypads.

Networked F4000 FIPs allow an operator to send single zone and zone range reset, isolate
and de-isolate commands to other FIPs; to recall and search for zone status on other F4000
FIPs; and to alarm, fault, auto reset and operate test zones on other F4000 FIPs.

System Description

Issue 2.38 19 April 2002 Page 2-9

NETWORKING OF F4000 FIPs (CONTINUED)

Networked F4000 FIPs allow an operator to send System commands to System, Battery and
Bells test other FIPs, and to isolate and de-isolate bells and ancillaries at other F4000 FIPs.
Network F4000 FIPs can receive commands sent by other devices on the network, eg.
Colour Graphics, for control and test purposes.

Networked F4000 FIPs transmit local events and status onto the network for use by network
printers and Colour Graphic systems to allow remote logging of events, eg. one or more
system-wide event printers.

Networked F4000 FIPs are in most respects identical to a stand-alone F4000 FIP, except for
the inclusion of a networking card and the addition of the panel number in zone and point
numbering schemes.

Note, however, that configuration of a network F4000 may result in the functionality of the
LCD being essentially the same as a non-networked F4000.

A programming terminal operator can connect to another F4000 over the network, and
control and view that F4000 via its LCD and keypad as if the operator was at that F4000.

2.1.10 PROTOCOL TRANSLATION MODULE (PTM)

The PTM is used with F4000 networks and performs two functions:

(i) Interfaces a printer to the network for logging of events from panels on the network.

(ii) Interfaces “XL Graphics” colour graphics systems to the network.

2.1.11 PANEL-LINK MODBUS BRIDGE (PMB)

The PMB is used with F4000/F3200 networks to provide an interface into the network for
other systems that can use the Modbus protocol.

The PMB is able to pass system, zone and point statuses and values to the Modbus system.
It can also be used to pass commands back to the FIPs.

The PMB is used to interface Vigilant's Overview colour graphics systems to the F4000
network.

** PLEASE NOTE **

If your building or occupancy requirements change, then the F4000 FIP may require

reprogramming, so please consult your installation or maintenance company.

2.2 LCD FIP DISPLAYS

Figure 2.3 shows the front panel layout for an F4000 LCD FIP panel.

The F4000 FIP panel provides indications for:

(a) FFCIF Alarm, Fault and Isolate
(b) System Status
(c) Zone Status (optional)

There are 3 LEDs in the red-bordered FFCIF area that show common zone status:

(a) Alarm (b) Fault (c) Isolate

The SYSTEM STATUS INDICATORS are a column of 5 LEDs beside the numeric keypad,
that display the System Status information. The function of each LED is described alongside,
namely from top down:

(a) Mains ON (d) Ancillary Isolated
(b) CHGR/BATT Fault (e) Bells Isolated
(c) System Fault

In addition, New Zealand F4000 FIPs have an extra 3 SYSTEM STATUS indicators on the
display extender card:

(i) Normal (ii) Defect (iii) Fire

The optional ZONE STATUS INDICATORS display the status of each zone, whether an
Alarm Zone Circuit (AZC) or an Ancillary Control Zone (ACZ). Each zone has the following
three (3) indicators, and a space for installation dependent text, which is used to identify the
zone number and description.

(a) Red alarm "ALM" LED
(b) Amber fault "FLT" LED
(c) Amber isolated "ISO" LED.

An LED display card is fitted to show the zone status for each sixteen zones. The minimum
number of displays required at an F4000 LCD FIP panel is zero. However, 4 can be fitted in
the standard cabinet (FP0746) for displaying up to 64 zones. For New Zealand systems,
one of these positions will usually be taken up by the display extender board. Alternatively
the F4000 may be supplied in a rack cabinet configuration, which provides up to 64 zones in
each 7U module.

LCD FIP DISPLAYS (CONTINUED)

The LED indicators may be either:

(a) Unlit (OFF); or
(b) Slow Flashing (SF), every 2 seconds; or
(c) Flashing (F), every half a second; or
(d) Rapid Flashing (RF), 10 times per second; or
(e) Steady (ON).

In normal operation all LEDs are OFF, with the exception of the green "MAINS ON" LED
indicator which is ON, and for New Zealand panels the "NORMAL" LED will be ON flashing.
An internal sounder (buzzer) is used to alert the operator to certain conditions.

A detailed description of all indications is contained in Chapter 4 "Interpreting the Display".

2.3 LCD KEYPAD INTRODUCTION

The FIP LCD keypad is shown in Figure 2.4 and is divided into two sections, namely:

(a) "Fire Fighter's Control & Indicating Facility" (FFCIF):

The area within the red border, containing 5 keys, 3 LEDs, and the LCD.

(b) All other keys and indicators used for zone resetting, isolating, testing and

information recall functions.

The two keyboard sections are not, however, entirely independent and some functions
require use of both keypad sections.

If a keypress is valid the sounder will give a short beep whenever a key is pressed.

A longer duration error beep will sound to draw attention to illegal key presses. The FIP LCD
may also display an error message. If this occurs, try the command or entry again.

For more details on specific operating instructions refer to Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8, for
"Brigade", "System", "Zone" and "Point" functions respectively.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED)

CRCs/Date Time Database Last Changed

Set Commands
Time & Date
Passwords

Most functions are selected by entering a command sequence on the keypad. This manual
explains the more basic sequences. Other sequences may exist, which are often the same
command sequence with the order of the keypresses altered, or special short cut
sequences.

Operators will discover these shortcuts primarily by using the keypad and gaining experience
of its capabilities.

2.3.2 ACCESSING A PARTICULAR FUNCTION

To access any particular function, the keypad and LCD provide a number of different paths.
Some functions are accessible by a single keypress.

For example, pressing the "RESET" key followed by the "ZONE" key and zone number, or
pressing the "ZONE" key followed by the zone number then the "RESET" key, will both
result in access to the zone reset function.

Often, the entry of a command sequence will require a number to be entered, e.g. a zone
number, or time and date.

2.3.3 MENU OPTION SELECTION

The menuing system on the LCD presents the options available by displaying an option
number e.g. 1, followed by the option, e.g. RESET. Selection of any option is possible by
two methods:

(a) Press the number key corresponding to the option required e.g. pressing the "1" key

for the "1:RESET" option will select "RESET".

(b) If the option has an equivalent key on the keypad, press that key, e.g. for the

example in (a), pressing the "RESET" key would also select the "RESET" option.
This may not be possible in some menus, to avoid ambiguities.

(c) If a "MORE" option is displayed, the "MORE" option can often be selected by

pressing the same key that was used to access the particular menu.

2.3.4 LCD KEYPAD NUMBER ENTRY

When entry of a number is requested, a cursor will be displayed. The standard entry keys
are the number keys, "0" to "9" and the "POINT" key.
To enter a number, press each number key as required. The LCD will display each digit as it
is entered. Pressing the "POINT" key displays a ".". This is used to separate numbers, e.g.
for zone ranges, or time and date entry.

If an error is made, pressing the "CLEAR" key will wipe any number entry made so far and
allow the correct number to be entered.
