Escape button to return to the Commissioning Functions submenu.
ASSIGN ZONE/GROUP
This function allows you to assign devices to be members of detector zones or sounder groups as
appropriate. This would normally be done using the panel's PC programming software tools but is
provided at the panel in case you need to add a device at short notice, typically when a PC is not
available. It therefore allows you to get a new device working in a basic manner whilst it is waiting to be
properly configured at a later date. When selected, you will be prompted to enter the loop on which the
device you want to assign is located followed by the device's address (device) number:
Loop:1 Device:-1

be presented with the zone/group assignment window, for example:
Shop floor: No name allocated
Belongs to Zone:- 1

Use the & buttons to scroll to the desired zone or group and press the Accept
will be made and you will be prompted to select another loop/device to assign using the same procedure.
Alternatively, to return to the Commissioning Functions submenu press the Escape
although I/O units, etc., can be assigned to be members of zones using this menu, this will only apply to their
input functions. The panel's PC programming software tools must be used to assign them to output sets.
CALIBRATE DEVICES
Daily calibration of the system's smoke and heat detectors (to take into account environmental changes,
drift compensation factors, etc.) takes place automatically at 0400 hours, or at an alternative time as pro-
grammed by the engineer. The CALIBRATE DEVICES function allows you to carry out an additional manual
calibration of the system's devices at any time. When selected, you will be asked if you wish to proceed:
Continue to Calibrate Devices?

Press the Accept button and calibration will start. Depending on the size of the system, this may take
some time. When calibration is complete, the system will return to the Commissioning Functions submenu.
COMMISSION THE LOOP(S)
This function refreshes the characteristics (calibration levels, contamination values, etc.) and checks the type
codes of all devices connected to the loop(s). When selected, you will be asked if you wish to proceed:
This may take several minutes
OK to proceed?

Press the Accept button and the commissioning function will start. When completed, the system will
return to the Commissioning Functions submenu.
SHOW CALIBRATION PROBLEMS
This function allows you to view any detector(s) with calibration issues. In addition to listing detectors
that have definitely failed to calibrate correctly and will no longer function reliably, it also lists those
that are in the process of being checked and MAY fail to operate correctly.
When the SHOW CALIBRATION PROBLEMS prompt is accepted, details of the first detector with a cal-
ibration problem will appear. For example:
Loop: 1 Device: 23 :Calibration issue
Turn ON output channels 1&3
