This chapter addresses operation of individual FenwalNET 8000-ML systems. Instructions on how to start up and operate a configured FenwalNET 8000-ML System, including how to distinguish the different operating states, how to use the operator keys, entering passwords to access the system menus, and what the Status Indicating LEDs mean are presented in this chapter.
Page 148: 4-2.1 The Event Output Control (Eoc) Program
Note: All alarm events must be annunciated by public-mode notification. USER INTERFACE KEYS AND FUNCTIONS Operator keys for the FenwalNET 8000-ML System are located on the Keypad/Display. Figure 4-1 shows the location of the operator keys and System Status LEDs on the display. Table 4-2 lists the names and functions of the operator keys.
Page 149: Operator Control Keys
<SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGE> The <SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGE> Key allows the operator to signal the FenwalNET 8000-ML System that a new event currently being displayed is understood. The control unit's audible notification appliance will silence and all flashing Pre-Alarm, Alarm, Supervisory, or Trouble LEDs will light steadily when all active events have been acknowledged.
Page 150: Status-Indicating Leds
Yellow A steady LED indicates a Ground Fault has occurred in some circuit on the FenwalNET 8000-ML system. A Ground Fault condition will automatically cause the System Trouble LED to light and flash. The circuit with the wiring problem can be identified through the system menus.

Page 158: 4-10.3 Alarm State
4-10.3 Alarm State The Alarm State occurs when the FenwalNET 8000-ML receives an emergency signal from an alarm- initiating device such as a smoke detector, a manual release station, or a waterflow switch. The upper line of the LCD display shows the event by the device address, the change of state, and the device type.
Page 159 Press the <SIGNAL SILENCE> Key to de-activate any silenceable outputs such as NACs and SLC- based signal or relay modules after all alarms have been acknowledged. Outputs are configured as silenceable through the FenwalNET 8000-ML Configuration Software. The control unit will display the following message for 5 to 10 seconds.
Page 160 4-10.3.3 ALARM DISPLAY LIMITATION The FenwalNET 8000-ML control unit can display a maximum of 64 active alarm messages by manually scrolling through them. All alarms in excess of 64 will be processed by the control unit even though they are not displayed, and all outputs will be activated as programmed in the control unit’s application program.
Page 161 Refer to NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code (latest edition) for further details. Refer to the FenwalNET 8000-ML Configuration Software User’s Guide, P/N 06-237042-001, to configure a smoke detector for PAS operation.
Page 162 Refer to NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code (latest edition) for details. The Alarm Verification State occurs when the FenwalNET 8000-ML control unit receives an emergency signal from a smoke detector configured for alarm verification.

4-10.4 Supervisory State The FenwalNET 8000-ML control unit enters the Supervisory State when an initiating event occurs such as a monitor module report of a low-air-pressure condition in a pre-action-sprinkler system. It also occurs when any SLC-based initiating or control device, or any control unit based output circuit, is isolated.

Page 166: 4-10.6 Concurrent States
4-10.6 Concurrent States It is possible for the FenwalNET 8000-ML system to be in more than one of the event-driven, Off- Normal Mode states concurrently. In general, any new event, regardless of its type, is prioritized for immediate display, and the control unit's application program runs to activate the outputs, if any, associated with the new event.

Note: If the FenwalNET 8000-ML displays a “Battery Disconnected Fault” when batteries are physically connected, the fuse on the PMU Board may need to be replaced. A bad fuse will report this trouble.

Conversion Instructions for FenwalNET 2000 PROCEDURE Remove the empty electronics brackets which are attached to the FenwalNET 2000 control unit. (An installer may chose his own method to remove the empty brackets, based on individual experience and available tools.) Note: A suggested method, which is safe and easy to perform, is to use a Drummel tool (with a grinding wheel attached) to first grind off all pop rivets in the cabinet.
