Commissioning Before starting to commission any unit, it is necessary to verify that all the external wiring and pipe work has been fitted correctly and that the pipe work matches the pipe calculation results. The commissioning process is carried out using a PC. Most commissioning actions can be carried out with a display panel (DP), when fitted.
Using the PC Interface 3.2.1 Equipment Required for Commissioning with a PC 1. PC running CirrusPro Windows Software. 2. RS232 cable with Gender Changer as required. (9 Pin D type female to female wired 1 to 1 See illustration below) 3.
3.2.3 Running CirrusPro Software Having checked that all the connections are correct, both pipe work and wiring, the system can now be commissioned: 1. Apply power to the detector unit. The PC can be powered when this occurs but it is usually better that the CirrusPro Software is not running.
3.2.4 Commissioning Double Click on the unit to be commissioned to display the security code entry: After entering the security code, all the information from the selected unit will be uploaded and one of the following forms displayed, depending on model: CirrusPro 100, 200, 200D, 200+,200D+ CirrusPro 200DSC, 200DSC+, X4 These screen shots show no fault or fire conditions.
3.2.6 The Commissioning Menu Clicking on ‘Commission’ on the toolbar displays the following list of items: To complete the commissioning it is necessary to follow this list as shown, from top to bottom. 3.2.7 Setting the Time Ensure that the PC time is correct before selecting this option. When selected the update is automatic, setting the unit time to the PC’s time, with the following confirmation window: or in the case of a communication failure 3.2.8 Pipe Scan...
3.2.9 Accept Airflow If the unit is a Pro 100 or Pro 200 (non scanning) then only one airflow will be enabled. Select ‘Ignore’ for any pipes not connected. The Air Speed should be set to the value given on the Pipe Calculation results, except on the CirrusPro X4 where it should always be at 100%.

Sensitivity Settings The display shows the default Gain and Alarm Thresholds values. Pipe 1 is shown, changed by selecting the pull down menu. If the unit is a non-scanning version then the ‘Pipe’ dialog box will appear grey. Select the box to change any of the Gain or Threshold values, within limits of two rules: 1.
Time Zones When using Time Zones, each zone has its own set of gain and threshold values for each pipe. Each day is split into three time zones, the current zone is indicated by ‘>>’ when the menu is entered. The start times for the three zones each day are entered with the required gain and sensitivity levels for that zone.
Inputs Every CirrusPro has connections for four inputs. Each of these can be monitored as Normally Open (default) or Normally Closed. Normally Closed is selected by checking the box adjacent to the Input number. See Section 7 for input specification. Inputs can be configured as one of the following: Unused –...
3.2.14 Editing Text The text for the unit, the pipe text and the alarm text are edited within this menu. If the unit is networked to an internal or external Display, text will appear on the display. Change the text by clicking in the relevant box and editing as required.

The buzzer is used to indicate the test is about to begin. This is a slow ‘pip’ for 10 seconds once the delay is complete. The countdown is shown on the display. First test about to begin. Second test about to begin. The particles are now presented to the sample point and the timer counts showing the elapsed time.
3.2.16 Print This option will print the current set up to the PC printer selected. The standard Windows printer selection form is displayed. 3.2.17 Set Security Code / Set User Code The default High Security Code is 123456 and User code is 112233.
3.2.19 Options Buzzer: The Buzzer is functional when this option is checked. Update Logo: This allows a customised logo to be downloaded to the display unit set to network number 128. To change the logo on multiple units, each must be set to 128 in turn. The file is opened using the standard Windows file menu.
The Zone O/P Board is fitted with the CirrusPro 200DSC, 200DSC+ and X4. The MUX interface communicates directly to several models of fire alarm control panels manufactured by Protec Fire Detection PLC. Clock Calibrate: If it is found that the unit clock is running fast or slow, this can be used to correct the running of the clock.
Handling Detector Unit Data (The Network Menu) 3.3.1 Saving Data Any changes in the set up of a unit must be downloaded to it; this has to be done manually from the menu but is prompted when closing the connection where changes have not been saved. Any attempt to close the PC program, when changes have been made, displays a prompt: Selecting ‘Yes’...
At this point all data is uploaded from each detector unit on the network. It can take a few minutes due to the amount of data being transferred. This file should be returned to Protec for storage and future reference. Similarly, a file is opened from this menu for examination.
Commissioning by Display The units can be commissioned using the internal or remote displays, if connected. Most of the PC functions are available from display units and are described in detail in the PC commissioning sections. The text at the bottom of the display corresponds to the push buttons below the display. By holding down a button, its function will auto-repeat.

Check that any fault reported previously has been attended to. • 4.1.2 Three-monthly Checks The following must be performed EVERY THREE MONTHS by Protec Fire Detection (Export) Ltd or an authorised representative: Check the Event Log to determine any abnormalities.
Note that most of the following can be carried out from a Display Unit on the CirrusPro network. See Section 3.4. See section 3.2.1 to 3.2.4 for initial set up of the PC connection and fault reporting. Rectify any faults in the Current Faults window, found during the power up sequence. Refer to the Fault Finding in Section 5.
A timestamp can be added to the graph. 4.2.2 Algotech Status This shows the current values of the Algotech time averages and is only applicable when the Algotech option is switched on during the commissioning. See Section 3.2.11. Algotech values are based on current levels during power on. Recent changes are reflected in T1 to T3, otherwise the four values will be similar.
4.2.3 Event Log The log stores up to 128 of the latest events since the event log was cleared. From the log: Confirm that water is taken every few days. When any fault occurred. The log can be displayed with just Fires or just Events by selecting the relevant tick boxes. The example shows both Fires and Faults are selected to be displayed.
4.2.4 Historic Graph The Historic Graph shows a period of about three days, with about 10 days stored. The amount of data is dependent on what has happened during the recording period. Stored data increases during fire and pre alarm events. The data is downloaded from the unit.
4.3.2 Service Information This lists the current values for various readings within the unit. If any measurements are close to unacceptable limits, corrective action should then be taken. See Section 6 for a list of faults and corrective actions. Operating the Commissioned button saves this data in the Site Information memory. Service Operations As well as confirming the status of the Cirrus Pro unit as shown in the sections above, the following Servicing actions must be carried out:...
4.4.1 Cleaning the Airflow Board The airflow board is found in the flow path in the manifold of all models. In order to clean the airflow sensors it is necessary to release the manifold and drop it away from the sampling pipe. There are two or four screws holding the manifold in place depending on the model.
4.4.2 Replacing the chamber filters The two chamber filters are be found by removing the two large Allen Key plugs on the Cirrus Pro cloud chamber. With the unit switched off, remove the Allen key plugs and remove the filters. Replace with new filters and refit the plugs (do not over tighten).
Networking The Cirrus Pro Network is based on Node Numbers in ranges allocated to specific devices: The system allows: 1 PC Unit Network Number 1 32 Detector Units Network Numbers 224 to 255 Default 255 32 Display Units Network Numbers 97 to 128 Default 128 Refer to the example system below: Detector...

Displays can be set up to connect to a single Detector Node or to monitor all nodes and display information from any detector. Setting the Connect Node to 000 allows the display to monitor all the detectors. Setting the Connect Node to any value 224 to 255 automatically connects the display to that detector. For displays within detector enclosures, the Connect Node number is usually set to the associated Detector Node number.
Fault Finding Internal diagnostics monitor for faults that may arise during commissioning, service and normal running. Network related faults are covered in the previous section. Fault List Faults have been assigned codes that are used to identify the faults. The following is a list of all faults in Fault Code order: 1 Processor Fault This is indicated if a problem has been detected with the micro controller or the Read Only Memory...

7 LED Fault The unit has detected that insufficient light is being received at the photodiode. This probably means that the LED, Photodiode or associated wiring has a fault. The chamber LED lights when a sample is taken, this can usually be seen illuminating through the mounting medium.
Page 55
14 Unit Cold Fault The unit internal temperature has been lower than 1° C for 8 hours. The water could start to freeze. May also get water fill faults as unit too cold to fill. 15 Unit Disabled The unit has been shut down via a monitored input. See Section 3.2.12. 16 Expansion Board Fault A communication problem to expansion PCB has been detected.
Indicating Fault Codes on the Detector Unit The CirrusPro can pulse the Fault LED to indicate fault code of current Faults or the last fault if there are no current Faults. When the unit is in Fault, press and hold the Silence button. The Fault LED will illuminate for 5 seconds, then pulse a number of times indicating the fault code.
