    Site-file Refers to the site configuration data file that is stored the 6100, this file contains the data about loop devices, panel settings, loop device text, zone text, panel text and cause and effect ( matrix ) information. When this file is uploaded using the Windows commissioning software any historic event logs are automatically appended to it.
  • Page 7 There is no need for a USB dongle. Managed System If the system is managed, then a dongle is required ( available from Protec ) to access all features in the commissioning software. Without a dongle, or with an incorrect dongle fitted, the commissioning software will not connect to the 6100.

  • Page 8: Introduction

    The Protec 6100 Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom. The 6100 complies fully with current standards dictating fire alarm system design practice ( EN54 parts 2 and 4 ). The 6100 panel is a single loop fire alarm control panel incorporating an on-board power supply and high power loop driver circuitry that allow communication to a maximum of 192 Protec 6000Plus series devices.

  • Page 9: Information Required Prior To Commissioning

    A commissioning form is available upon request which should be filled in with the relevant information. Items Required to Commission the 6100 Using a PC PC / Laptop Requirements The PC used to connect to the 6100 must conform to the following minimum specification. 1 GHz processor. •...

  • Page 10: Loading The 6100 Commissioning Software Onto A Pc

    DO NOT touch any connections or cabling. The PC connects to the 6100 using a standard USB cable ( see section 5.0 ). The USB port on the 6100 is accessed by removal of the enclosure front cover, as shown in figure 7.0.

  • Page 11: Connecting The Pc To The 6100

    The USB communication port is located on the centre left of the 6100 PCB housing ( see figure 7.0 ). Ensuring the 6100 is powered up connect the USB cable to a free USB port on the host PC, then carefully plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB port on the 6100.

    Selecting a menu option brings it to the main screen. Information entered in a menu option is retained when swapping between menus. To open the commissioning software double click on the 6100 icon ( usually present on the PC’s desktop ). The main screen will open as illustrated in figure 8.0.

  • Page 13: The File Menu

    This option loads a previously saved site file. The user must navigate to the file and open it. All site files have the .psf file extension. Import Text Text previously exported from the Protec Excel text editor can be imported into the site file using this function. Save / Save As Allows the site file currently loaded to be saved ( as filename.psf ).

  • Page 14: The View Menu

    ( relevant dongle must be installed ). The Help menu This menu allows the user to generate an emergency access code ( if the entry codes for the 6100 have been forgotten ), check for updates to the commissioning software or download relevant 6100 documentation from the internet.

  • Page 15: Creating A Site File

    When all devices have been scanned in from the Loop Commissioning Booklet the site file must be downloaded into the 6100 and the loop logged and mapped, at this point the software version and map node are added to the site file ( it becomes a complete site file ) and it must be uploaded from the 6100 for backup purposes.

  • Page 16: Creating A Site File By Logging And Mapping Devices Directly On The 6100

    Creating a Site File by Logging and Mapping Devices Directly on the 6100 The alternate method for creating a site file is to log and map loop devices on the 6100, then upload the site file into the commissioning software. Any loop device parameters or panel options may then be edited as required and the file downloaded into the 6100.

  • Page 17: Programming Loop Sounder Volume Levels

    Non-latching devices cause the 6100 to automatically reset when they return to normal after being activated. Note that the 6100 will only automatically reset if no other activations are present on the system. If several non-latching devices are active, the 6100 will only reset when all devices have returned to the normal state.

    LED ( consult the datasheet for the specific product for connection details ). Each loop address on the 6100 can be allocated a Repeat Group in the range 1 to 32. The Repeat Group number is related to an 6100 output group activation ( output groups range from 1 to 32 ).

    C ( continuous ). 11.2 Setting up Output Group Delays The 6100 supports delays to output groups. Delays times can be set from 5 seconds to 10 minutes, in 5 second steps. If an output group activation changes from OFF to ON ( C, P or W ) the change will not be actioned until the programmed delay time has expired.

  • Page 24: Programming The Fire Link Delay

    13.3 Programming the Fire Link Delay In some situations it is advantageous to introduce a delay from when the 6100 detects a fire until the fire link output is activated. The activation of the fire link output can be delayed by up to 10 minutes ( in 5 second steps ).

    To enable Class Change operation the Class Change Input option should be selected. Input group 30 is used for class change programming and cannot be re-used for loop devices. If Class Change is not enabled operation of the Class Change input on the 6100 PCB will have no effect. 13.13 Programming Loop Beacon Operation The 6100 supports synchronised loop controlled beacons, the operation of them can be programmed using the ‘Beacon’...

  • Page 27: Overriding System Delays On A Second Knock Coincidence Activation

    13.17 Programming Dual Fire Link Outputs The 6100 normally provides a single Fire Link output ( operates on automatic and manual fires ) and a pair of conventional alarm outputs. It is possible to alter this configuration so that the standard Fire Link output operates only on automatic activations, and the conventional alarm output ( ALARM 1+ and 1- ) changes function to become a second Fire Link output which operates only on manual activations.

  • Page 28: Viewing Historic Event Logs

    ( see section 7.0 ). 15.1 Uploading a Site File from the 6100 Site files must be uploaded from the 6100 in order to edit them, save them for backup purposes or to view the historic events. Using the Panel->get settings from panel window retrieve the site file from the 6100. This process should take around 5 seconds, after which the site file will be loaded into the 6100 commissioning environment.

  • Page 29: Checking For Updates To The Commissioning Software

    Commissioning Software are offered. Before agreeing to the update, the user must be certain that updated commissioning software is compatible with the 6100 being used. If in doubt contact Protec ( with the software version of the 6100 ) for advice.
