    1.0 INTRODUCTION ABOUT THIS MANUAL The purpose of this manual is to enable persons responsible for the Cheetah Xi system to operate, test and perform maintenance of the system. It provides a detailed description of how the system operates in response to different system events and recommended steps for resolution response to each event.
  • Page 10: Understanding Cheetah Xi

    1.5.3 PERIPHERAL DEVICES The Cheetah Xi system’s RS485 peripheral bus provides an interface point that allows you to connect up to 31 optional peripheral devices to the system. These devices are used provide remote annunciation and control of system events and to expand the system operational capabilities. In a network system, the peripheral bus allows all panels to report to a single graphic panel for annunciation purposes.

    Zone and State. A Zone is defined as a specific area of protection or hazard to protect. There are 253 software zones available on the Cheetah Xi. A state is defined as a mode or condition of operation for the fire alarm system.
  • Page 55: State Counters

    3.1.5 STATE COUNTERS The Cheetah Xi can count states to create an activation of an output. The state counters are created from Eclipse addressable devices ONLY (e.g., If zone 1 has several alarms, the output can be programmed to activate upon receipt of 2 alarms total). VESDA does not participate in State Counters.
  • Page 56: Positive Alarm Sequence

     Note: When positive alarm sequencing is enabled in the Cheetah Xi panel, then by default, all VESDA detectors will initiate the panel’s PAS operation; however, PAS activation is tied solely to the activation of the base detector.
  • Page 57: Abort Operation

    Flashes red/green PANEL MENU STRUCTURE The Cheetah Xi control panel is equipped with an extensive menu structure. Refer to Appendix A for a complete breakdown of the system menu structure. Access to certain panel menus and functions (Configuration Menus) are password protected and require the operator to log onto the system in order to view them or gain access to make changes.
  • Page 58: Panel Operation By Event

    POWER-UP RESET The system will perform a power-up reset (long reset) when power (AC or DC) is first applied to the Cheetah Xi controller or when a RESET command is initiated either from the main controller display, peripheral device, or a remote input module configured for reset.

  • Page 75: Intelligent Detector Features

    3.0 SYSTEM OPERATION INTELLIGENT DETECTOR FEATURES The Cheetah Xi’s intelligent detectors offer a wide range of configurable features that can be used to provide optimum system performance. A brief description of each feature is provided in this Section for reference purposes.
  • Page 76: Acclimate

    3.4.4 DRIFT COMPENSATION All Cheetah Xi intelligent detectors automatically perform a drift compensation routine. Drift compensation is a feature that allows the detector to become accustomed to its operating environment. This helps to ensure that as dust and dirt build-up in the detector chamber, it does not cause a false alarm on the detector by gradually adjusting for this increase.
  • Page 77: Summing

    Detector configuration can be changed using the panel’s programming software C-Linx to allow walk-testing using Fike’s IR tool. The IR tool or remote test station must be used for duct detector walk-testing. Detectors may only be activated once during the walk-test mode. Refer to Section 6.4.4 for further details.
  • Page 78: System History

    4.0 SYSTEM HISTORY OVERVIEW The Cheetah Xi panel maintains a 3,200 event history buffer of all alarm, trouble, supervisory, and other system events, each with a time/date stamp. With no alarm events present on the system, events are added to the history buffer as they occur in the first available memory slot until all 3,200 history slots are filled.
