OPERATION
What Is Not Lost:
• Zeus program/database.
• Time and date.
• History log.
• Time-based control.
A Soft Reset is performed by pressing the Reset System soft key. There two sets of
Soft Reset soft keys: one of the Fire system and one for the MNS system. The keys
for the Fire system are displayed as "Fire Reset" and those for MNS are displayed as
"MNS Reset" . The system can only be reset when all events for that sub-system (Fire
or MNS) are acknowledged and the notification appliances are silenced.
What Is Lost:
• All event conditions (Alarm, supervisory, etc, provided they have returned to
the normal state).
What Is Not Lost:
• Any user entries such as time and date.
• Arm/disarm.
• Zeus program/database.
• History log.
• Time and Date.
• Manual sensitivity adjustment.
• Time-based control.
When the FireFinder-XLS is part of a network of FireFinder nodes communicating
over the XNET communication protocol, the PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3's Alert capabilities can
be adjusted in several ways to provide the required level of oversight.
With the appropriate hardware upgrade and the proper configuration in the Zeus tool,
a PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 can be given global capability over an XNET network of XLS, MXL
and MXL -IQ nodes.
A PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 with global capability is referred to as a Global PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3, and
it displays events for all nodes within the XNET network. In contrast, a PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3
that does not have global capability is referred to as a local (or standard) PMI/PMI-2/PMI-
3. In a Global PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3, the event device address in the Devices screen is
displayed as a global address. The first number in a global address is the address of the
node that owns the device, followed by the module and device address of the device.
Whether configured as a Global PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 or not, a PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 always
displays all events pertaining to its local node. However, a Global PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 can
be configured to selectively display the events for remote XNET nodes for specific
event types only. For example, a security-only Global PMI/PMI-2/PMI-3 displays all local
events, but it only displays the security events that are posted by remote nodes.
A PMI or PMI-2/PMI-3 set to "Legacy Mode" can only be configured as a Global PMI
if all other PMI-2/PMI-3s in the network are also set for "Legacy Mode" , since a Global
PMI must be able to display all of the information present on any other node.
