XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels
b. If the panel has not been configured with
any sensor or module data, i.e. the normal
system status at initial power up, the panel
displays '*UNCONFIGURED*' unless it is
part of a network, in which case it displays
'NORMAL'.
Powering up a network - special considerations
Master/Slave network
The following is recommended:
i When configuring a panel (either directly
or using the Offline Support Tool), first
disconnect the panel from the network.
When the COMMS FAIL message is
displayed (may take up to 2 minutes for a
Slave), press MUTE BUZZER to stop the
buzzer.
ii When all panels have been configured,
remove power from all of them. Connect
the Master panel to the network - set the
termination link on its RS485 PCB to the
'ON' (lower) position if it is not already so
configured (see Section 6 of the XLS80e
Series Installation and Commissioning
Manual).
iii Power-on just the Master panel. Wait until it
reports COMMS FAIL. Use MUTE BUZZER
to mute the buzzer. Wait one minute.
iv Connect and power-on each Slave panel
and Repeater in turn. There is no time
restriction on doing this. When all the
panels have been powered-on, wait one
minute, then press the RESET pushbutton
at the Master panel. The network should
stabilise (i.e. no error messages or buzzers).
v If the site arrangement does not require that
a termination link be set at the Master (see
Section 6 of the XLS80e Series Installation
and Commissioning Manual), fit the
termination links at the correct panels and
then set the link at the Master panel to the
'OFF' (upper) position. This can be done
with the system powered-on.
XLSNET peer-to-peer network
When all panels have been powered-up, allow
time for the network to settle. When no new fault
messages are being generated, press RESET.
