Page 3: Introduction
(FPP). We’ll use a simple example project to illustrate the key steps required. The first step in programming any QuickStart system is to run the AutoLearn process. This creates the basic setup information required by the system. AutoLearn creates a general alarm system with a minimum of input from you.
Page 4 Be aware that any loss of power during an FPP session may corrupt the database and render it unusable. If this happens you must reprogram the panel from scratch, beginning with the AutoLearn process. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...

Number of receivers, phone numbers, and retry attempts Begin programming the dialer by setting up the number of receivers and phone numbers. The sequence of menus, screens, and commands you use is shown below. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 11 The system displays the full Accounts menu. 2. Choose Account # and enter the subscriber’s account number. 3. Choose Formats and choose either 4/2 or Contact ID. (For our example project, choose contact ID.) Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 12 6. Choose Test Time and enter the time the dialer will call in the test strings (using 24-hour format). 7. Choose CMS then choose which CMS receiver to dial. This is the receiver that holds the account. 8. Choose Exit. The system returns to the Dialer Setup menu. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...

Page 14 7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, choosing Trouble, then Supervisory in step 2. The default trouble strings are: Active - 120000000, Restore - 320000000. For supervisory use: Active - 130000000, Restore - 330000000. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 15 This completes the AutoLearning process for the panel. If there is an SLIC module installed in the panel, as with our example project, the system displays an “Unconfigured Device” trouble message after initializing. To clear this you run AutoLoop, as discussed in the next topic. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 16: Running Autoloop
7. When the database update finishes, choose Exit from the SLIC menu. 8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each SLIC in the panel (our example has just one). 9. Choose Exit from the Configure menu when all SLIC cards have been AutoLooped. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 17 Perform the AutoLoop only once per SLIC card when you are configuring a Caution: new system, or when you are adding a SLIC card. Performing an AutoLoop on a SLIC after it has been programmed erases all the device programming information. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 18: Programming System Options
With most systems simply AutoLearning and AutoLooping a panel is not enough. At the very least, descriptions for the devices are needed. QuickStart FPP lets you program system user labels, inhibit timing, and AC failure timing. Card configuration lets you program device descriptions.
Page 19 3. Choose AC Power Dly then choose the desired value. This sets the time delay for sending a trouble message after an AC power loss. 4. Choose Exit then Save Edits. This returns you to the Configure menu. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 20: Card Configuration - Slic
In our example project, the wiring is Class B. 7. Choose Exit and Save Edits. This returns you to the SLIC menu. Note: By default, circuits configured as visual are non-silenceable. Next, we’ll enter information for the Signature detectors. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 21: Card Configuration - Slic - Detectors
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for every detector in the system. 9. After the last Save Edits, press Menu on the front of the panel. This brings you back to the SLIC menu. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 22 The Model command displays the detector type for the serial number you entered. Base Type displays the base type used by the detector. (An audible base is displayed as a relay.) Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 23: Card Configuration - Slic - Modules
The system displays only those choices that are valid for the GSA model you’ve specified. 6. Choose Personality and specify the personality code for the type you selected in the previous step. The system displays only those choices that are valid for that input type. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 24 But for this example we are going to program the panel further, by setting up zones and output groups, which we’ll then correlate to each other. This process is discussed next. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 25: Zones And Output Groups
Zones and output groups In QuickStart, programming the relationships between inputs and outputs is best accomplished by using zones and output groups. Zones contain input devices or circuits. Output groups contain output devices or circuits. Zones are linked to specific output groups.

Page 30: Configuring Zones
Enter on the panel. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each waterflow device. When all the devices have been added to the zone, we need to correlate that zone to an output. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 31 11. For each zone that needs to be created, repeat steps 1 through 10. 12. When all zones have been created, from the Configure menu choose Exit, then Save and Sync. The panel goes through its reboot process. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 32: Mapping
Mapping Mapping is a feature of QuickStart, but it does not have to be used. Mapping allows for easy replacement of same type devices (replacing a -PS smoke for another –PS, for example) without having to do any re-programming. If using the Configuration Utility (CU) program, it will also allow you to view an electrical “riser”...
Page 33 5. Exit the SLIC menu. 6. Exit the Configure menu. 7. Choose Save and Sync (or just save if system does not have a remote annunciator). The panel will go through its reboot process. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 34: Adding And Deleting Signature Devices
7. After the last Save Edits, press Menu on the panel. This brings you back to the SLIC menu. 8. From the SLIC menu, choose Exit. This returns yo u to the Configure menu. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 35 If mapping is enabled, after the panel has rebooted it will begin mapping, then display a map fault when finished. To clear the map fault, follow the steps described earlier under Clearing Map Fault. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
Page 36: Replacing Signature Devices
Replacing Signature devices If your system has the QuickStart mapping featured disabled, to replace a device you must remove the old device from the project database, then add the new device to the database. If mapping is enabled, simply replacing the device (if it’s the same type) should be all that is required, with no further programming needed.
Page 37: Menu Tree
The following diagram is a basic menu tree for front panel programming. It does not show all possible choices, but it does include the commands and options essential for front panel programming as described in this guide. Mirtone QuickStart Front Panel Programming Getting Started Guide...
