• 3.13 Setting the reset switch
There are physically two RESET switches available to perform a hard reset of the
freeway controller. One is located on the edge of the 2440 sub-module and the
other is remotely located on the front edge of the Main Card on which the 2440 is
sited. Pressing either has the same effect.
Initiating a hard reset is akin to powering down and powering up the control
frame. The controller re-boots and follows the usual power-up sequence. It should
be noted that the panels will shut down and then be restored after initialisation
has completed. It should also be noted that resetting the active controller in a dual
control environment will cause system changeover.
If no changes have been made to the database then no cross points will be
changed.
However, crosspoint settings may change if the level type for a level was changed
prior to the reset as during initialisation the crosspoints are set according to the
level type for that level.
It is also advisable to perform a reset after database parameters are changed as
certain changes only take effect after a reset, i.e. changing level type, panel type,
source overrides, and controllable destinations.
