    2.4.1 Loops/SLC Upon selecting the LOOPS/SLC option, the display will prompt for selection of the loop to be viewed / programmed. Note: The list of loops available will be adjusted automatically to show only those loops that have a loop driver installed.
  • Page 14: Value Parameter

    2.4.1.1.4 Value Parameter This parameter shows the analog value returned by the device. The number displayed will vary according to the type of device installed. An ‘H’ (High) and ‘L’ (Low) is shown for Switch (logic) inputs. The current sensitivity mode setting for intelligent smoke detectors is shown (a value based on sensitivity programming ranges 1 through 5).
  • Page 15: Sensitivity Parameter

    Action Description Alarm Signal An alarm condition will be generated whenever the input is active. Supervisory A supervisory condition will be generated whenever the input is active. Trouble Signal A trouble condition will be generated whenever the input is active. Pre-Alarm A pre-alarm condition will be generated whenever the input is active.
  • Page 16 areas). Response mode 3 (default programmed) would be the mid-sensitivity level used for most normal applications. Response mode setting and hysteresis of the individual detectors are stored within the detector’s memory. The storing of this critical information in the detector rather in the fire alarm control panel software allows the detector to maintain its programmed response settings and compensated values even when power is removed from the detector.
  • Page 17 2.4.1.1.8.2 Sampling  If an intelligent device is in alarm the Axis Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel will perform multiple assessments of the alarming device to ensure that the alarm condition from the device is valid. The value of the assessment time can be programmed by the installer during installation.
  • Page 18: O/P Group

    For example: The panel supports two independent times for each day of the week during which the SSM mode will be switched on (i.e. during which the Special Sensitivity Mode settings are active). In the above example the SSM will be active between 7:00 PM on Monday and 6:30 AM on Tuesday (an example of use, would be a detector more sensitive during none occupied time periods).
  • Page 19: Detector Testing

    Highlight any ✔ marked device: View the devices drift, rapidly compensate it or view the EEPROM. Below is an example of viewing drift. Each intelligent smoke detector connected to the specific SLC loop will indicate its drift as it relates to detector compensation, 0 being the cleanest, 100 being dirty.

    2.4.1.2 Loop – Auto Learn 2.4.1.2.1 Normal Procedure / Auto Learn The panel can automatically learn the presence or absence of devices at all addresses connected to a specific SLC loop (Auto Learn is done on a per loop basis). When the Auto Learn option is selected, the panel starts searching the selected SLC loop for all associated addressable devices.
  • Page 21: Procedure If The Panel Finds Devices Added

    Press the  buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the ✔ button to confirm. The pop-up window will disappear and the panel will continue with the Auto Learn process. If a single device is deleted and another missing device is subsequently registered, the display will once again show the pop-up window to keep or delete this device.

    2.4.1.3 Loop – Meter Displays loop output and input voltages and loop loading. It also shows a diagnostic display with automatic scanning of the loop to find devices with minimum and maximum communication pulse heights. 2.4.1.4 Loop – History Displays loop device history; last activated, last tested, last disabled, last enabled and when created/added to the system.

    2.4.3 Exit To exit the programming mode and return the panel to normal operation (User level 1 or 2), select the “Exit” option by selecting “Exit” then press the ✔ button. The display will prompt for your password to confirm exiting of the PROGRAM area, as indicated below: If the password is incorrect or if the password is not entered within 5-seconds, the display will revert to the PROGRAM Level Menu and User level-2 will not be entered.

    2.4.7 Passwords The panel provides up to 10 User Level-2 passwords and 2 Level-3 passwords. All of the passwords can be field modified/changed. Upon entry to the function, the display shows a list of the passwords. For example: To change a password, use the  buttons to highlight the required password and then enter the new password using the number buttons.

    2.4.10.6 Trace Logging Mode The Trace Logging Mode determines what type of information and to what level the information is stored in the systems event log. There are three options: STANDARD = Normal operating mode: logging alarm, trouble and warning conditions as they occur. STANDARD + = Extended logging version of the standard operating mode where the removal of trouble and warning conditions are also logged.

  • Page 28: Output-Groups

    2.4.12 Output-Groups The Output-Groups area is a schedule of actions that will turn on one or more outputs dependent upon a set of input events. The output-groups provides the means to create simple or complex “cause and effect” programming within the panel.
  • Page 29: Cause

    2.4.12.2 Cause Each Output Group can be programmed to respond in a unique way to events from each individual zone. An input event may be an alarm condition or it may be a trouble, disablement or other condition. A combination of criteria may also be applied to each zone.
  • Page 30: Style

    If the cause and effects programming group shows SPECIAL this means the group has been created via the PC- NeT configuration tool and cannot be adjusted/changed via front panel programming. Multiple Detector Operation. The operation of two detectors within the same zone being required for control operation.
  • Page 31: Wait

    2.4.12.3.3 Wait The Wait field is the time from first activation of the output to the next operational condition (mode) of the output. For example, the output could initially be delayed for 20 seconds and turn on in a pulsing mode. After a wait of a further 30 seconds it can be programmed to turn on differently such as steady ON.
