FCRemote Con- The point is set when FIRECLASS Remote (the Remote User Interface) nected starts communication and is cleared when communication ends. This point is only set while FIRECLASS Remote is in communication with the panel. 37–39 Not used Local I/O F/W The compatibility between the firmware on the FIM Local I/O chip and the main firmware is checked.

If this differs between panels then the network will not operate as intended and a full upload may not be possible. Test Equipment This point is activated when FIRECLASS Checker is connected to the panel. Walktest Outputs This point is activated when an output test is started from the panel user interface.
2.2 RBUS Node Pseudo Points FIRECLASS Fire Alarm Control Panels RBUS Node Pseudo Points When reported on the user interface or via printers, the output format used for faults reported from RBus node points is: ‘RBnn.Pmm’ Where nn is the node number 0–15 and mm is the point on that node, 1–8.

FIRECLASS Fire Alarm Control Panels 2.5 Network Node Pseudo Points Point Label Address Net Card Left The Port Left Connection fault is raised when the TLI800EN Network Interface Module detects a short or open circuit condition on its left network port wiring.
COM2 Pseudo Points When reported on the user interface or via printers, the output format used for faults reported from COM2 is: ‘COM2’ This section refers to faults regarding COM2 which is the configuration of the FIRECLASS Remote port. Point Label Address Comms Fault Will report a fault if the packet retries exceed the maximum number (100).

FIRECLASS Fire Alarm Control Panels 3.1 Fault Conditions on devices Logged Message CONTACT WIRING SHRT Raised on the 410MIM, 410SIO, 410TSM and QIO devices if a short circuit is present on the supervised input. DET LTA HI WARNING The dirtiness value of the photo detector is at 80% or more. If Detector Con- dition Monitoring is enabled for the point, this condition is raised before the device raises High LTA.
