Fire

This article explains why the fire status display of the controller does not show all fire detectors in fire condition.

With FSM 5.6  the database.xml structure was slightly changed and FSM 5.6 is supporting only the new database.xml structure. This is leading after upgrade to a loss of the configured symbols (only the symbols, not the content of the devices configured on the floor plans). Therefore after upgrading from older FSM version (e.g. 5.2) to 5.6, the already configured symbols of sensors on maps are not shown correctly, they are shown are dots/circles.   Please note: If before executing the file provided below the application was opened and the sensor properties were edited by approving > at that step the symbols changed to the default symbol and the previously configured symbol cannot be recovered.

If the Item "Panel" is e.g. 1-1.1.1 respectively 1-1.SI_PANEL.1,then this item is the Group item of the panel system status items e.g. 1-1.1.1-1 till 1-1.1.1-10. Most of these system status items have NORMAL as value after startup, others can have ON, e.g. items from Condition Monitoring.

Use the tool provided when FSM server application is installed, to manage export/import of configurations. Please note: This tool is only for configuration backup and does not include logs and history.

A sticker on the front of the B450 indicates proper switch positions for selecting various SDI or Option Bus addresses (see figure 1). Figure 1 Sticker with address configurations   There are 2 types of FPD-7024 panels. It must first be determined which is in use before selecting the B450 address: Newer types with firmware version 1.06 and higher. These types are identified by icons on the keypad instead of words (see figure 2). Older types with firmware version 1.03 and lower. These types are identified by words on the keypad. Figure 2 Version 1.06 with Icons vs 1.03 with words   Version 1.06 & newer types: When used as sole communicator or backup to phone line, set the address wheel at 9 for Option Bus address 250. When used as backup to a primary network communicator, set the address wheel at 6 for Option Bus address 134. RPS connections require Option Bus address 250. Be sure the address wheel is set at 9 on the network communicator intended for RPS connections (Ethernet is preferred when allowed). Version 1.03 and older types: Use Option Bus address 250. Only one network communicator is available on these panel types.

This article provides instructions for exporting and saving the program from an FPA-1000 to be imported into a replacement FPA-1000 panel. This information may be needed when replacing an FPA-1000 fire panel with another with intentions to use the same panel program.

This feature blocks the programming feature through the keypad of the FPD-7024. This feature is only enabled via RPS.   Step-by-step guide   1 Connect to the Panel via RPS an Open the FPD-7024 programming sheet.   2 Go into Program Accounts and Remote Access Security.   3 Open Anti-takeover Setting and Select "Lock all local programming (except Date/Time and all user PINs)" to block the programming via keypad of the panel.

Note:  The Master - Slave application is used to save on popit addresses for a large systems. You can use one popit address for a long hall or one large room that would otherwise require several addresses to cover it. 1.  The F220-B6PM is a 24 VDC 4-Wire Master Popited Base that supervises up to nineteen F220-B6 Two-Wire Slave Bases. The two-wire slave detectors then report as the master base address. 2.  The F220-B6PS 4-Wire Popited Base operates on 12 or 24VDC that does not support 2-Wire Slave bases. 3.  The F220-B6PS, F220-B6, and the F220-B6PM bases can use any of the following smoke or heat heads.      F220-P - Photoelectric Smoke Detector      F220-PTH - Photoelectric Smoke Detector with 135F/57C Heat Sensor      F220-PTHC - Photoelectric Smoke Detector with 135F/57C Heat and Carbon Monoxide Sensors      F220-135 - Electronic Rate of Rise/Fixed Temperature 135F/57C Heat Detector      F220-135F - Electronic Fixed Temperature 135F/57C Heat Detector      F220-190F - Electronic Fixed Temperature 190F/88C Heat Detector

How to configure the FPD-7024 for various network reporting options. How does the FPD-7024 Network Communication alternate between devices?

How to access the Menu features on the B926F which does not have a Menu button.

The FLM-7024-ISO MUX bus isolator module is placed between devices on the MUX bus. A short on the bus causes activation of the isolators adjacent to either side of the short. This effectively separates all devices between the activated isolators from the rest of the bus. This prevents failure of the entire bus. When the short condition is removed, the isolators automatically restore the entire loop to normal operation.

The DataLock system uses lockcodes to lock panels from programming by unauthorized programmers. A Datalocked panel has a lockcode in memory that the 5200 must match to one of the lockcodes in the 5200 lockcode records before the programming session can continue. If 5200 cannot match the lockcode in the panel, the programming session is terminated.
