Programming
3.1 User Programming
The ES-50X is completely field programmable and requires no special software skills. While programming the ES-50X, the fire protection
capabilities of the control panel are enabled.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in any of the following ways:
•
Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the FACP addressable SLC devices on-line without the
necessity of programming each device individually. Refer to "Autoprogram" on page 50 for a detailed description of
Autoprogramming.
•
Manual programming or editing using the FACP keypad
•
Remote Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom programs using a Windows-based
computer and Ethernet connection. For programs requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. The FS-Tools
programming utility can be downloaded from www.firelite.com for this purpose.
•
Local Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom programs using a Windows-based
computer and the FACP USB connection. For programs requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. The FS-
Tools programming utility can be downloaded from www.firelite.com for this purpose.
•
The System Normal screen will be displayed in a programmed system with no active alarms, troubles or supervisories, as illustrated
below:
Read Status mode can be entered while the panel is in any mode of operation. If an alarm or supervisory event exists at the panel, the event
must be cleared before entering Programming mode. To access any of the programming or read status features, the Enter or Mode key must
be pressed, which will cause the LCD to display the following:
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, will cause the control panel to enter the Read Status Mode which allows the user to view the
programmed features and status of the control panel. The Read Status feature is not password protected. Refer to "Read Status" on page 111
for a detailed description of this feature.
Pressing 2 will select user Programming Mode which may only be accomplished by an authorized person. After pressing 2, a screen will
prompt for a password. After entering the correct password, the user may select from a list of programming options.
Pressing 3 will select FS-Tools Up/Download which allows the user to enable the remote programming option. Refer to "FS-Tools
Upload/Download" on page 120.
Pressing 4 will select USB Up/Download which allows the user to upload or download FACP programming via the USB port. See "USB
Upload/Download" on page 122.
The down arrow which appears in the display indicates that additional programming choices can be viewed by pressing the down arrow key
on the keypad. If a down and up arrow appear in the display, pressing the 'down' arrow key will display the subsequent Programming
Screens as illustrated below while pressing the 'up' arrow key will display the previous screen.
Pressing the down arrow displays the following screen:
Pressing 1, while this screen is being displayed, allows the user to upgrade the panel software. Refer to "Firmware Upgrade" on page 124.
Exit Programming and Read Status
The programmer can exit any mode by repeatedly pressing the keypad ESC (Escape) key until the display reads System Normal. Note that
the data which is entered during Programming mode is not saved until the programmer exits this mode by repeatedly pressing the 'ESC' key.
If the Reset key is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, all data just entered will be lost.
User Programming Levels
There are two user programming levels:
•
User Master Program Level 1 is used for programming panel specific data relating to device types, zoning, messages, control panel
functions, etc.
•
User Maintenance Program Level 2 is used by a qualified operator to access features such as Disable/Enable, View and Clear History,
Walktest, and System Time Change.
3.2 Initial Power-up
