Page 29: Overview
Overview In order to operate as a fire alarm, a fire alarm panel must be loaded with firmware and configuration data. A set of configuration data, used to uniquely describe and control a given set of hardware, is called a Job. The Configurator allows you to create and manage jobs. It also allows you to send firmware to a panel and all its related CPUs. - Page 30 3.1.2 Details The top right pane is used to display the details of the currently selected tree node. 3.1.3 Correlations Programming a Fire Alarm Control Panel consists of correlating inputs to outputs. For example, you might correlate all the smoke detectors on the first floor to the speakers on the first and second floors, and smoke detectors on the second floor to the speakers on the first, second, and third floors, and so on.
