  • Page 7: Loading And Totals

    Loading and Totals The general rules are that the panel is capable of supporting up to 200 devices per loop; this can be a combination of Detection, Callpoints, I/O units and Sounders. The protocol and internal memory are constructed in such a way that there are certain loading rules which must be strictly enforced.

  • Page 8: Zones

    Panel 3 would have devices in zones 21 – 30 but none in zones 1 – 20 Access Codes. There are four access codes for the DF6000  User Code: This allows control of the silence, evacuate and reset functions and also enable/disable;...

  • Page 9: Replace Device

    Replace Device. The replace device function is used to change faulty equipment without the need to change text or zone allocation. The faulty component is changed and then the replace device function selected, the loop and address of the faulty device are inputted and the panel then scans the loop for address 254, when it receives a reply the previously inputted address information is programmed on to the new device.

  • Page 10: Double Knock

    Double Knock. Double knock operation is programmed on site installer and is used to prevent unnecessary evacuation of the site. Two fires are needed from the selected list before the output condition is satisfied and the output can operate The operation can be done by address, zone, panel or global. Later versions have included the opportunity to double knock WITHIN an individual zone (any zone 2 devices) When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.

  • Page 11: One Man Walk Test

    One Man Walk Test. This function is similar to the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system without having to continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the ‘Stop’...

  • Page 12: Analogue Level

    Analogue Level. The analogue level reading is used to display the analogue value being sensed by the detector, this value is displayed in a numeric format and also in a graphical form. This reading is displayed in real time. On v3.0 software Next/Previous buttons have been added to enable the user to scroll through the addresses more easily.
  • Page 13 2. T1 & T2 Also contained within the above menu are T1 & T2, this feature to enables the user to acknowledge an alarm and investigate the cause before the building is evacuated. (see Fig 3 ) T1 time delay is between 10secs and 3 min. T2 time delay is between 1 –...
  • Page 14 If T1/T2 is required on a site where these delays need to be active during certain times and turned off at all other times, generally a member of staff would need to operate the callpoint or I/O. However, within the T1/T2 menu is a feature called ‘Auto enable delays’. This feature enables the user to automatically set T1/T2 at the required times as a backup if the input is missed.
  • Page 15 The second feature allows the user to select which external outputs should respond to the T1/T2 time delays. This feature is programmed through the device outputs dialog within the Site Installer program. All external output devices are defaulted to follow the T1/T2 timer and are unchecked not to follow. FIG 8 Amended: Jan 2014...
  • Page 16 Australian Mode creates a re-configured display screen when class change is shorted. In this mode a key-switch device is installed on the front door of the DF6000 panel which can only be operated by the Australian fire brigade (this key-switch shorts the class change). Address or zone text for the alarm can be viewed on the screen depending on how the screen is configured.

  • Page 17: Change Text

    3. Reset Timeout; Detectors within the HMO zone can be set on a delay from 1 to 5 minutes. Essentially this is an extended version of Alarm Verification (section 3 above), if smoke or heat puts a detector in fire, the panel and detector will indicate this, but will not activate any outputs unless specifically programmed to do so.

  • Page 18: Set Date/Time

    Set Date/Time FIG 10 The ‘Set Date/Time feature is a relatively simple and self explanatory method of setting the date and time. However, if the panel is part of a multi-panel network, all of the clocks would need to be synchronised. An extra button ‘Synch with master’...

  • Page 19: Input Programming

    Input Programming. Input devices are Detectors, Callpoints and the input side of an I/O unit which can be programmed on the Site Installer to carry out different functions, (If un-programmed the default is Fire). The Device Inputs box is opened by ‘right clicking’ on the individual device and when the device options box opens then choose ‘Device Inputs’...

  • Page 20: Output Programming

    Output Programming Outputs are classed as Sounders/Beacons, I/O units, Sounder Control units and Shop Unit Monitors. The panel is capable of accepting 120 outputs per loop, (60 Sounders set low) and 20 I/O units (each I/O automatically takes three channels). Sounder Control and Shop units use sounder channels. To set the device outputs right click the device, when the device options box appears choose ‘Device Outputs’.
  • Page 21 If the sounder trigger is by address, zone or panel then ‘allocate devices box can be used, the allocate devices box appears and the trigger source can then be selected. For example if this sounder is to operate only on a specific zone then that zone can be highlighted and moved to the right hand box (up to a max of 16 per stage) and hit ‘ok’.
  • Page 22 Zone Groups and DN any zone 2 devices To further enhance the cause and effect programming options Zone groups have now been added into both Site installer and the latest release software (JUL 2011). 250 Zone groups have been added to the system so that when any output devices trigger source is by zone this now becomes by zone group.
  • Page 23 FIG 16 Fig 14 shows that zone group 1 has 16 zones allocated (the maximum is 32). FIG 17 The double knock any zone 2 devices has been radically improved – in the previous version only one zone was allowed in the assigned zone groups. In this latest version the number allowed has been increased to 16 zone groups and 32 zones within a zone group.
  • Page 24 Further recent additions to both Loop software and Site installer allows the programmer to select extra features on the output programming box FIG 18 2 extra tick boxes have been provided; the first is used to tell the output device to follow any delays set in the T1/T2 menus on page 12.

  • Page 25: Sounder Settings

    Sounder Settings Globally, the sounder volume and tone can be set from the configuration menu described on page 11, this could potentially cause issues if ALL of the sounders on the system were set to high volume. Generally the sounders should achieve 65 dba or 5 dba above any likely background noise. The other requirement is to wake a sleeping person where the minimum sound is required to be 75 dba at the bedhead.

  • Page 26: Add/Delete

    Add/Delete FIG 21 This function allows new devices/zones to be added to the system. When a zone is added then the panel uses the next zone number and adds it to the zone list. When a new device is added then the panel asks which loop the device is connected to and the scans the loop looking for a reply of 254, once this reply is received that device is allocated the next available address location, this process is then repeated for the next device to be added.

  • Page 27: Configure Heat Detectors

    Configure Heat Detectors. FIG 22 When a heat detector has been auto learnt on to a loop the default setting is rate of rise. If a fixed temperature setting is required then the detector must be changed via the panel menu before the database is downloaded from the laptop computer otherwise when a check config is carried out the there will be conflicts on all the heats that are set to fixed temperature on the laptop.

  • Page 28: Day/Night Setting

    If the network is such that all messaging needs to be turned off but certain panels need to communicate directly with each other this can be controlled using the network filtering system where individual panel messaging can be enabled/disabled across the network. These features are found in ‘Network’...

  • Page 29: High Level Menu

    High Level Menus FIG 25 Disable all Outputs This menu enables the engineer to carry out a full test without any outputs operating. This function can not be used with Weekly or Walk test features. The outputs can be switched on and off from this menu, if however the outputs are inadvertently left disabled when the engineer leaves site, the user can re-enable the outputs from the enable/disable menu in 2214, or on later versions simply toggle the button in the high level menu.
  • Page 30 Buzzer Disabled/Enabled The Buzzer can permanently disabled using this feature, a disabled led will be displayed on the panel and when interrogating the disable devices in the user menu, this will be shown as 1 I/O disabled. Intermittent Fault Search When a device goes into fault the panel has polled the detector a number of times to confirm the fault (this is called integration), this can take up to 90 secs dependant on the length of the loop and number of devices installed.
  • Page 31 Reset to Factory Settings This feature will restore the panel to it’s factory settings, which on a programmed system is catastrophic and not to be used lightly. The panel will go into Autolearn – losing all programming. It will also re-calibrate the screen and put the default logo onto the screen.
  • Page 32 Australian FB Screen This enables the screen to show Zone or Address text when in Australian mode (see page 13) UL 864 9 Edition This is an additional feature to enable the panel to be operated in areas where UL is specified. Essentially the panel remains the same;...
  • Page 33 BS 5839 Button This button has been added for when there is significant cause and effect programmed into the system but the outputs need to meet BS5839 specification. FIG 29 This means that when selected and a Callpoint is activated, the sounders will operate within the 3 seconds required by BS overriding any sounder cause and effect.
  • Page 34 Test Fires Activate fault relay. This feature was provided so that when connected to a shopping mall the main operator needed to know when a test was been carried out by individual shop units. During a weekly or walk test the fault relay will change state to warn the centre that a test was in progress rather than a true fire.
  • Page 35 Conventional Sounder Local fires Under normal circumstances if loop sounders are used on a system these can be programmed through the Site Installer to operate on the local panel. The conventional sounder circuits do not have that level of control in the Site Installer and therefor react to ANY fire anywhere on a network.

  • Page 36: Networking

    Networking Introduction Up to 63 Easicheck and 126 DF6000 panels can be networked together. Each panel must have a Self Addressing Network Card fitted to the main PCB. Network Technology used is “LonWorks” (Protocol). Terminator resistors Draka 910234 2 x 51 Ω in series...
  • Page 37 The L-Switch Booster is made by a firm called Loytec, and works on a supply voltage of 9-35 v DC. This means that the Easicheck or DF6000 panel external 24v output can power this device. The Booster has two modes of operation ‘Smart Switch mode’ and ‘Configured Router’, for all applications we use the former mode.
  • Page 38 Fig 35 Network configuration without Boosters – Loop Topology Fig 36 Amended: Jan 2014...
  • Page 39 In certain European countries the network needs to have a back-up system should the network fail, in this instance a Dual redundant network card is provided. Essentially this device enables the connection of a second network on a card running in parallel with the existing network. This system is configured in the same way as the normal network.

  • Page 40: Ancillary Devices

    A call point can also be used to initiate day night mode, isolate addresses or zones or be set to non- latching. Sounders Sounders, beacons, sounder beacons all appear on the DF6000 device list as alarm/beacons and a maximum of 60 are allowed per loop, the panel and site installer treats them all the same for programming purposes.
  • Page 41 MIO324 is a 3 channel I/O (3 separate inputs & 3 separate outputs) that only takes 1 address. The outputs are three relays capable of switching 1A at 30v. The 3 input spurs have the same function as the MIO1240, 22k end of line, 5k6 firing resistor. Each channel is individually programmable both for inputs and outputs in the same way as the MIO1240.
  • Page 42 In Automatic mode the Fan is controlled by the DF6000 in the normal way through the site installer program. Feedback must be detected from the Technical input within 25 secs or a fault will appear on...
  • Page 43 This is achieved by connecting the laptop to the repeater using the same download cable as the main panel, using the engineer code to ‘Download DF6000 text’. This text information is stored in the Display pcb, whereas the device address is stored in the Psu board.
  • Page 44 The Touch screen repeater is ONLY networkable but allows the user much more control such as disabling devices across the network. This panel also has a programmable input and Fire and Fault relays. The 32 way Led and relay mimic boards reply as a repeater when Autolearned and need to be configured correctly within Site installer.
  • Page 45 FIG 40 A third repeater called a Graphical Relay board has recently been added to the range – this device provides 8 outputs and 4 inputs. The inputs are pre programmed reset, evacuate, silence and test. The output are programmed in the same manner as the 32 way board.

  • Page 46: Conventional And Addressable Hybrid

    Addressable and Conventional Hybrid The addressable and conventional Hybrid devices sit on the wired loop of the DF6000 as 1 address, up to 32 wireless devices can then be associated to the device. The addressable hybrid acts almost as a Spur isolator allowing a zone of addressable devices to show as individual addresses on the main panel, whereas the conventional hybrid, acts as a zone monitor with devices associated to it but not showing as individual addresses on the main panel.
  • Page 47 The SYNCH button when pressed will cause the Amber led to illuminate, a second press flashing quickly followed shortly by a slow flash. The Hybrid at this time will search for other hybrids in range, if it finds any it will illuminate the led steady and then continue with the search until the synch button is pressed again to extinguish the led and stop the search.
  • Page 48 The Site installer program provides extra functionality such as background and receive signal strengths for the devices viewed from the device or Hybrid. FIG 44 Test device can only be carried out using the PC function this does not work with the Radio devices form the engineering menu.
  • Page 49 Devices can be added and removed from the hybrid individually by the PC application unlike the delete device button on the hybrid which will delet ALL devices from the hybrid. The panel would still need to be in the 26 v mode found in the configuration menu of the main panel. FIG 46 Once the hybrid has been placed into the add/delete mode then devices can be powered up in the same way as adding direct to the hybrid.
  • Page 50 Device status can be checked by interrogating the protocol and packet error count, which is an indication as to the signal quality between the device and hybrid FIG 48 FIG 49 Amended: Jan 2014...

  • Page 51: Getting Started & Fault Diagnosis

    Always power down the panel before disconnecting and connecting any PCB wires or cables. Refer to DF6000 Motherboard drawing First confirm the PSU PCB is working correctly. Disconnect the red multiway connector from the PSU and mother board, check it’s continuity.
  • Page 52 Power LED and touch screen illuminated but no text visible When the panel is powered down the touch screen needs a minute to reset. Power the panel down and disconnect the batteries for 90 seconds, then re power the panel. If this does not work connect panel comm and press the reset button.

  • Page 53: Commissioning

    Commissioning Check the loops with a multimeter ↓ Auto-learn the panel ↓ Upload to a PC (Optional) ↓ Download from a PC ↓ Check auto-config ↓ Run Intermittent Fault search ↓ Test the devices Loop Checking with a multimeter The first quick test that should be done on all the loops is to check the continuity of the loops using a multimeter.
  • Page 54 Problems “Dual address” The dual address should be displayed on the screen the panel sees this fault if two or more addresses are responding at the same time. Other effects of the dual address could be the displaying of devices that have not been installed, the results of which could be a Beam detector, an SCU (sounder controller), a 4/20 mA interface or the worst case a Repeater Panel which causes a continual resetting of the main panel.
  • Page 55 Detector not correctly inserted on base. If a detector is not fully inserted onto a base it is possible that the base switch will not be opened. The newer detectors and bases have a tab to show when the detector is fully inserted. See diagram below. FIG 52 Base sounder device not wired correctly.
  • Page 56 The panel constantly resets after auto-learn. This is a specific dual-addressing fault. Certain combination of devices dual addressing may cause the panel to think they are a repeater and respond to the responses by constantly resetting. The following steps should be done to remove this problem. a.
  • Page 57 “Open circuit” Positive/Negative. This means after the auto-learn the panel has detected a break in the positive or negative line. The most likely causes would be:- Device wired incorrectly. See wiring diagram. Base switch opening but the detector not making contact. Ensure the base contacts are correctly screwed down, and none are damaged.
  • Page 58 “Short Circuit” start or end of a loop. There is a short at the start or end of the mentioned loop. The fault can only be on the panel. The first/last device or the wiring in between the panel and the device. This prevents the loop driver from functioning and must be fixed in order to auto-learn the panel.
  • Page 59 “Earth Fault” An earth fault may be associated with other faults or random fires. This should be cleared before trying to sort out these other faults as it may be the root cause. Power down the panel, disconnect all loops, sounders and relay connections. Ensure the panel is correctly earthed.
  • Page 60 Locating a fault on a loop If the fault is a short circuit middle or a open circuit on the loop the check auto-config function can be used. This is in the supervisor level on the others section of the display. When this function is used the panel will go round the loop from the start until it cannot communicate with a device it will then show an open circuit at an address, this will help locate a short/open circuit in the middle of a loop.

  • Page 61: Other Faults

    Other Faults Charger Fault This will show if the charge current is too low. Possible causes for this are:- The charger fuse has ruptured. The batteries are disconnected. The batteries are damaged. Battery Fault This will show if the charge voltage is too low. Measure the float voltage at the battery terminals, it should be around 26V depending on how charged the batteries are.

  • Page 62: Programming Issues

    Programming Issues Once Autolearned, the panel will work as a basic fire alarm provided there is no cause and effect required on the site. The panel, however, can transfer this learned information to the Site Installer program on a laptop, where full zone and address text can be programmed together with different relay outputs, sounder settings etc.

  • Page 63: Program Updates

    Program Updates Loop Driver Loop Driver software can be updated using a Cyclone Pro programming device; alternatively to update the software the loop driver will need replacing. Display The display program can be updated using a utility program called Panel Prog or via the Site Installer program.
  • Page 64 FIG 56 10. Load your .s32 file with the relevant program into PanelProg.exe. by clicking on the ‘open’ tab. 11. Click "update the panel". 12. It may initially give you a timeout error, if so, just click "update the panel" again. The whole process should take about 5 mins, it is important not to interrupt it.

  • Page 65: Panel Comm

    Panel Comm Panel Comm is a useful little program that allows engineers to connect directly to the panel via the upload/download port. This program is capable of communicating with the panel by way of sending commands to perform certain functions or receiving information also on command. Once opened the program needs no configuration and information will be seen to be scrolling in the main display window, such as ‘Updating time on screen’...
