Cyber security disclaimer Siemens products and solutions provide security functions to ensure the secure operation of building comfort, fire safety, security management and physical security systems. The security functions on these products and solutions are important components of a comprehensive security concept.
INTRODUCTION The PMI is the primary user interface for the FireFinder-XLS system. When the PMI is installed, the display, LEDs and control keys/buttons are visible from behind a locked door. Unlock and open the door to gain access to those keys and buttons. From the PMI the operator can acknowledge events, control the system notification appliance circuits and reset the system.

Only those tabs with one or more events can be selected by scrolling. A tab will blink if there are any unacknowledged events under it.
PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 Alert Menu USING THE MENU The menu gives you wide control of the FireFinder-XLS System. You may use the menu no matter what mode the system is in. The Main Menu items and the sub-items of the Alert, Report and Maintenance modes are shown in the FireFinder Menu Structure chart that follows.

PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 Tree Structure In most menus, the PMI uses a tree structure to display the elements of the system. Subordinate items connected to a device are children of that device; the device connected just above the device is its parent. This tree structure closely resembles the physical arrangement of elements used in the Zeus programming tool.
PMI OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 | NORMAL MODE Normal mode is the absence of any off-normal conditions. The screen displays SYSTEM STATUS: NORMAL with the time and date. If a custom message has been programmed using the Zeus tool (refer to Zeus Quick Start Guide, P/N 315-033875), the node custom message also displays in this mode.
Page 12
PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 Once all events are acknowledged and audibles silenced, a Reset System soft key becomes available in the lower right side of the display. If Fire notification appliances were active, two additional soft keys become available at the bottom of the screen. These allow the operator to silence or unsilence the notification appliances (audibles).
PMI OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 | Event counts in PMI and SSDs may differ because SSDs currently display only “primitive” (individual) events, while a PMI whose devices are programmed into groups in Zeus will display only one queue event per group. In a GCNET (Global Control Network) system, each PMI can be configured to display local events or all events in the Building, but it cannot display events from different Buildings.
Page 14
PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 In addition, the System responds to alarms with other output functions (as pro- grammed in the Zeus tool) such as other audible signals. An Acknowledge Alarms soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each alarm and to silence the local audible.
PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 Supervisory When a supervisory is detected, the yellow Supervisory LED blinks, the System’s internal audible pulses, and the event(s) display on the screen with a blinking exclama- tion mark (!). This event listing displays the Event Custom Message, the Time of the event occurrence and the Supervisory Event Category (i.e., Security, Sprinkler, etc.).
PMI OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 | 24 Hour Trouble Resound If acknowledged troubles remain in the queue, the system will sound the local audible every 24 Hour Trouble 24 hours as a reminder. A 24 Hour Trouble Resound Resound pop-up box (See Figure 1-12) will appear on the PMI and the sounder will remain on until it is silenced.
PMI OPERATION MANUAL | CHAPTER 1 XNET Networked System When the FireFinder-XLS is part of a network of FireFinder nodes communicating over the XNET communication protocol, the PMI Alert capabilities can be adjusted in several ways to provide the required level of oversight. Global PMI With the appropriate hardware upgrade and the proper configuration in the Zeus tool, a PMI can be given global capability over an XNET network of XLS, MXL and MXL-IQ...

PMI OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 | Single Point of Control When configured for Single Point of Control in Zeus (version 12 and above), if an XLS node is granted control of the network, only that node will have Voice, Fire, and MNS control over the entire network.
REPORT MODE Report Mode is used to obtain information and create reports about the system, modules, submodules and devices. Report Options There are four options that can be selected in the Report Mode: Configuration, Status, Queue and History. Report displays are not dynamic. The information on the PMI screen is displayed at the moment the report was requested.

PMI OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 2 | The amplifier volume setting is added to each channel’s volume. The result is the volume of that channel on that amplifier. For example, if the volume on the amplifier is set to -6dB and the volume of the Convenience Page channel is -6dB, the result is a volume level of -12dB for Convenience Page on that Amplifier.
