INTRODUCTION

Interface Overview
The PMI is the primary
user interface for the
FireFinder-XLS system.
From the PMI the
operator can acknowl-
edge events, control the
system notification
appliance circuits and
reset the system.
Detailed information
about the nature and
location of events can
also be displayed.
The PMI contains the
site specific program as
developed in the Zeus
programming tool. All
system logic and super-
vision is provided by
the controller in the PMI.
The PMI contains a ¼ VGA monochrome LCD, Touch Screen and LEDs for displaying
system status. An audible sounds when there are unacknowledged events on the
PMI. This screen is surrounded by keys that are used to control the displayed informa-
tion and to navigate through these screens. If more items are present than can be
displayed on a single screen, a scroll bar appears to the right of the list. Press the up
and down navigation buttons to the right of the LCD to move through the list. The
selected listing is highlighted in the display. Buttons are also provided to obtain help
and to enter into the menu features of the PMI. (Refer to Figure 3-1.)
!
LEDs blink when an event is reported and unacknowledged (ALARM: red,
SUPERVISORY: yellow, SECURITY: yellow, TROUBLE: yellow). The LEDs glow
steady if all events in the class/queue are acknowledged. An internal audible
alarm sounds steady when there is an unacknowledged fire alarm. It pulses if all
alarms are acknowledged, but there is at least one supervisory, trouble or security
condition.
"
Along the top and bottom of the LCD are rows of four soft keys. These soft keys
have no specific function assigned to them. Each of the soft keys is backlit with a
green triangular LED that is used to guide the operator to the available actions.

POWER - Power LED glows steady green to indicate that the AC power is on;
