The LCS must be installed on the STATUS SERIAL (RS485) circuit. It cannot be used as a mimic device. More information is available on the Local Control Station Manual.

  • Page 52: Connection To Hold And Mode Inputs

    Connection to Hold and Mode inputs Status units have monitored inputs to which remote Hold or Mode select switches can be connected. These inputs are monitored for open and short circuit faults and therefore need to have a 470R 1W trigger resistor connected in series with the activating, normally open switches and 6K8 0.5W end of line monitoring resistors connected across the end of the cables.

  • Page 53: Processor And Watchdog Reset Switches

    Processor and Watchdog Reset Switches The status unit is controlled by a microprocessor, which will re-start itself and continue to run if it stops for any reason such as severe electrical interference such as an electrical storm. To ensure that the unit is not being subjected to continual, undue interference which may affect its proper operation, a CPU fault indicator is latched on and a fault condition signalled to the control panel.

  • Page 54: Setting Up The Devices

    5. Setting up the Devices Sign Circuit Board LCS Circuit Board Addressing Devices Before adding a device to the FIP’s programming, each device connected to the STATUS SERIAL (RS485) circuit must be given an individual address. The FIP MUST BE POWERED DOWN BEFORE ANY CHANGES TO DEVICES. IMPORTANT - Devices with the same address will cause an intermittent fault to be displayed.

  • Page 55: Adding Devices To Fip Programming

    6. Adding Devices to FIP Programming In order to add or remove devices from the FIP programming, the FIP must be in “ACCESS LEVEL 3”. The steps to enter “ACCESS LEVEL 3” are as follows: 1. Unlock and open the centre display window. This operates a read switch on the door that enables “ACCESS LEVEL 2”.

  • Page 56: Alternative Sign Arrangements

    7. Alternative Sign Arrangements Mimic Signs / Connecting more than 7 Signs In systems that require more than 7 signs, additional signs may be installed by connecting to the 24VDC TRIGGER terminals located in each sign. This allows connected signs to mimic the operation of a sign that is connected to the STATUS SERIAL (RS485) circuit.

  • Page 57: Alternative Arrangement Of Status Serial (Rs485) Circuit

    Alternative Arrangement of STATUS SERIAL (RS485) Circuit. The standard arrangement for installing signs is to have a single STATUS SERIAL (RS485) cable connecting the FIP to the signs, as per wiring diagram. However, it can be configured to have 2 separate cables for the RS485 circuit with the FIP effectively in the middle of the circuit rather than at one end.

    Modules 5 Driver This group of modules contains driver modules for hardware that is connected to the Vizulinx currently this contains two drivers for USB modem support. Important! Vizulinx is only provided with one USB port therefore will only support one USB modem, the relevant USB modem type should be selected as required.

  • Page 107: Events

    Modules 5 Events These modules control how events are handled when they are received by Vizulinx. Only one module is available in this section which is “Custom Events”. Custom Events Custom events can be used to funnel events from multiple modules into a common custom event that can be used as a trigger into other modules.

  • Page 108: Fire Alarm Modules

    Modules 5 Fire Alarm Modules These modules control the interface between the selected addressable fire alarm control panel and Vizulinx. Mod- ules are provided for support Syncro and Elite type panels as well as Taktis and Taktis UL panel variants. Note: Modules will work with branded variants of all Syncro and Taktis control panels Kentec Syncro/Elite Fire Alarm API This module supports the serial connection between a Syncro/Elite variant panel and Vizulinx.

    Behaviours 6 Section 6 Behaviours The behaviours screen is accessed by clicking on the "Behaviours" tab in the header bar. Behaviours allow the user to define cause and effect fire alarm mapping from and to the connected devices/services. Each connected device/service creates and/or listens for events, these events can be linked to create a range of system operations - from sending a text message (SMS) to the building owners mobile phone when there is a fire alarm, to sending an email to the maintenance engineer whenever there's a fault.

  • Page 117: Customising Behaviours

    Behaviours 6 Customising Behaviours Behaviours can be further enhanced by adding filters to the source and event data and customising the destination and action settings. Adding a Behaviour Filter A filter adds more control over a behaviour to subsequently provide more control over the functionality of the Vizulinx system.

  • Page 118: Customising Behaviour Settings

    Behaviours 6 And a filter: Our behaviour with the added filter now works as follows – Any alarm that appears in the custom events will be fil- tered and only alarms that contain the value “Zone 1” in the payload will be sent to the configured e-mail address. Customising Behaviour Settings Each behaviour has its own individual settings which can be customised to enhance the performance of the system, this allows customisation of the information sent/displayed when the behaviour is activated i.e.
  • Page 119 Behaviours 6 There are three sections which make up the rule configuration – Output field, Action and Value.

    SPXCDHMANEN Issue 9 Sensepoint XCD Technical Manual 10 Response Check and Calibration It is recommended to periodically carry out a gas response check on the Sensepoint XCD to ensure correct operation. This may be done in two ways; 1. A simple Response Check often referred to as a “BUMP TEST” is a test using calibration gas applied to the sensor via the nozzle of the Weather Protection or using the Sensepoint XCD Gassing Cap.
