Local/Remote Site Upload/Download
SECTION 6
The control panel may be programmed or interrogated off-site via the public switched telephone
network. Any personal computer with Windows
modem and Fire-Lite Upload/Download software kit P/N PK-CD, may serve as a Service Terminal.
This allows download of the entire program or upload of the entire program, history file, walktest
data, current status, time and date.
The control panel may also communicate to a local PC at the job-site. The PC must be connected
to TB3 as shown on page 10, using cable P/N: PRT/PK-CABLE.
Important: Remote modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for
remote download (refer to "Remote Download" on page 176). Remote interrogation of panel
programming, history logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote download
option.
CAUTION: To prevent the 'request for upload/download' message(s) from being reported to the
Central Station(s), make certain to disable all upload/download reports back to both Central
Stations (refer to "Central Station" on page 120).
After the downloading process, the fire protection may be inactive for up to 2 minutes while the fire
panel re-initializes.
After successfully downloading a program, make certain to perform the following steps:
1. Review all programmed entries and compare to intended program data
2. Test all affected panel operations
3. 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
PK-Plus Programming Utility is used to download any information to the FACP. 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 proprietary 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:
