Table of Contents

The control panel may be programmed or interrogated off-site via the public switched telephone network or locally using a USB cable.

Any personal computer with Windows

PS-Tools, available for download from www.esd.notifier.com, may serve as a Service Terminal. This allows download of the entire pro-

gram or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest data, current status, system voltages, time and date.

Upload/Download Preparation

PS-Tools must be downloaded from www.esd.notifier.com. Follow the given download instructions. Once that is done, the PS-Tools util-

ity must be set up to communicate using either a USB port or a dial-up modem.

For local USB programming, a standard male-A to male-B USB cable must be connected from the PC's USB port to the fire panel's USB

port (J11).

For remote modem programming, you must have the fire panel's primary line telephone number entered in the PS-Tools site information

screens for that site. You must also change the fire panel's ring count from zero (the default) to answer after at least one ring.

Important: Modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for download (refer to "Remote Download" on

page 108). Remote interrogation of panel programming, history logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote down-

load option.

CAUTION: After successfully downloading a program, make certain to perform the following steps:

Print out all programmed data via Print Mode or manually view programmed entries and compare to intended program data

Test all affected panel operations

Immediately correct any problems found

6.1 Remote Download

NFPA 72 requirements state that a technician must be on-site and at the control panel whenever the Programming Utility is used to

download any information to the FACP. This applies to local and remote programming. For this reason, a new option has been added to

the FACP which allows an individual at the FACP to enter a password and either enable the proprietary mode where downloading will be

allowed at any time or access a specific password protected screen where downloading will be allowed regardless of the current propri-

etary setting. The Remote Download option can be selected from the main menu screen as shown below:

Pressing 4 for Remote Download while viewing the main menu will cause the following screen to be displayed:

The Remote Download password (default 00000) must be entered to access the Remote Download feature. Note that the default pass-

word can be changed using the Password Change option (refer to "Password Change" on page 93).

Entering the correct password will cause the following screen to be displayed:

Pressing 1 for Proprietary No (factory default setting), while viewing the Remote Download screen, will cause the display to toggle from

Proprietary No to Proprietary Yes. Each press of the 1 key will cause the display to toggle between Proprietary No and Proprietary Yes.

Selecting Proprietary Yes will program the FACP to allow remote programming downloads from the programming utility at all times

without the need to access the Remote Download screen.

Pressing 2 for Accept Download will cause the following screen to be displayed:

While this screen is displayed, remote programming downloads are allowed regardless of the Proprietary setting. Exiting this screen will

disable any further downloads to the FACP. Also, following 30 minutes of inactivity (including up/downloading), the Accept Download

screen will time-out, causing the display to return to the System All Normal screen.

6.2 Transferring a Program

The first time that the control panel is contacted, a secret code is loaded in by a Service Terminal. Future upload or download requests

cause verification of the secret code by the control panel before processing of data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the con-

trol panel will terminate the request.
