Introduction to the MT8001 Introduction to the Event Browser The main screen of the Event Browser contains a list of events that have occurred and that are currently open. From the Event list, you can view events, reset alarms, and follow security procedures. What is an event? The MT8001 is connected to different types of control units, which are in turn connected to security devices and detectors.
Introduction to the MT8001 2.3.1.7 EN 54 Event list EN54 The EN 54 GUI Event list always displays a filtered list, showing the highest category of those events currently present in the system. The list is ordered chronologically, with the oldest event appearing at the top of the list. The most recent and most critical Alarm is always displayed in a special separate field at the bottom of the display.
Introduction to the MT8001 2.3.1.8 Event icon appearance and what it tells you The MT8001 uses icons to communicate meaning throughout the system. The Event list contains icons that communicate information about events through colour, shape, and symbol. Event icons have the following indicators: − Colour; − Shape of the box surrounding the icon; − Symbol or icon contained in the box; − Whether it’s flashing or still; − Order in the list (the closer to the top, the higher the priority).
Introduction to the MT8001 The display of the background around the icon tells you what action to take next The column to the left of the Event list consists of Event icons. The background colour surrounding the icon (and whether or not it is flashing) communicates information about the next action to be taken. (See Fig. 12.) If it flashes, select it When the background surrounding the Event icon is flashing, it means that some action needs to be taken.
Introduction to the MT8001 Introduction to the Plant Browser The Plant Browser is where you control systems and detectors. It contains a sophisticated display of all the detectors in your plant. You typically use the Plant Browser for the following types of tasks: z Turning a section off or on (exclude or include); z Disconnecting a detector or group of detectors to prevent false alarms from being triggered; z Putting a section into Test mode; z Switching an area between Unset and Set modes.
Introduction to the MT8001 Introduction to Alarming devices – EN 54 only The Alarming devices menu displays 9 command buttons. You perform commands on Horns and RT devices by selecting the corresponding button. Note: You can also perform these same commands in the Plant Browser.

Logging in and out, and other operator tasks Note: Using the special PIN code to log-in will generate an Alarm. Depending on the specific configuration settings, the alarm can be transmitted to the police via a specified control unit. 3.5 EN 54 Access level rights You may log-on to the terminal at various access levels, which provide you with varying user privileges and different sets of available commands.
Treating an event 4 Treating an event This section describes the event treatment process, including a checklist of the steps that you perform, followed by procedures for treating different types of events. Note: This document describes typical event treatment. Configuration-dependent settings may eliminate the need to perform some of the steps listed. For example, if events are configured to be automatically acknowledged, you do not need (nor have the opportunity) to perform this step.
Treating an event 4.1 Event treatment checklist Use the following checklist to ensure that you completely treat an event. See the page numbers corresponding to the steps for details on how to complete that step. 1. Get to the Event Browser..................................................................................... p. 40. 2. Select the event to be treated (touch the event in the Event list) ........................p. 42. 3. Acknowledge the event if necessary. 4.
Treating an event 4.2 Getting to the Event Browser The Event Browser displays a list of all open events. To get to the Event Browser, you can select the Event Browser button from the Menu, or take one of the two shortcuts described below. Shortcut 1: If you see a screen like the one below, touch it to go directly to the Event Browser This type of screen displays when the system has been quiet (no events and/or activity by any user), and an event occurs.
Treating an event EN54 ULC EN54 Key Pad If you are using the system, and a new Severe alarm occurs, the Event list displays immediately. If any other type of event occurs, the corresponding event counter flashes. Touch the event counter to display the Event list. Note – EN54 only: The Event list is always filtered, so the list will display all events for the event counter you touched. The most recent and most critical open event is displayed in the dedicated area at the bottom of the screen.
Treating an event Selecting an event You need to select an event in order to treat it (or resume treating it). You do this by: − Touching the event that you wish to treat. When you select an event, the corresponding display is expanded to include treatment icons, and all other events in the list are dimmed (disabled). See the following figure. Fig. 22 Event list page (left) and selected event (right) Note: The most critical open event is displayed at the top of the list.
Treating an event Choosing between fast and assisted treatment mode There are two ways you can treat an event. You can treat an event directly from the Event list with the fast treatment command icon (located to the right of the suspend button), or you can select the assisted treatment icon to open the assisted treatment window, and get more information and instructions related to the event. You need to follow the guidelines for your facility to know the way you should treat different types of events.
Treating an event 4.2.1.1 Using fast treatment mode Fast treatment provides quick access to a basic set of commands for treating an event: you can quickly acknowledge, reset, and suspend events, as well as correct temporary exception situations such as excluded zones. It is particularly useful when a number of events occur within a short period of time. To treat an event in fast treatment mode, do the following: z Select the command icon that appears to the right of the suspend icon. (See Fig. 23, “A”.
Treating an event 4.2.1.2 Using assisted treatment mode Assisted treatment provides additional information for event treatment such as: − Instructions or warnings (for example, whether a room contains sensitive or dangerous materials) − A dynamic graphical map displaying exactly where the event is located − Event protocol (a log of changes of state and actions taken) − An event report page where you can record specific details about the event.
Treating an event Fig.
Treating an event z Follow the instructions on the Instruction page When you select an event for assisted treatment, the first page you will see is the Instruction page (this may vary for some sites, depending on the MT8001 configuration). This page provides information to help you during treatment, such as providing phone numbers, or security-related information about the area where the event has occurred such as data about dangerous or sensitive materials contained in the area.

Treating an event z View the Protocol page (action log for History Browser) The Protocol page is a chronological record of an event. It logs changes of state and operator actions during treatment. This page is stored in the History Browser together with the corresponding event in case an event needs to be reviewed in the future. Open the Protocol page by pressing the Protocol icon Fig. 27 A (see Fig. 24, “E”).
Treating an event z Complete a report The Report page is where you complete an event report. The left pane contains a list of possible actions that may have been performed during treatment. You select those actions that have actually been performed and transfer them to the report pane on the right. This page is stored in the History database together with the corresponding event in case an event needs to be reviewed in the future. Open the Report page by pressing the Report icon Fig. 28 A (see Fig.
Treating an event 4.2.1.3 Sending commands from the Properties page When treating an event, you may want to send a command that is not available from the event treatment page. You can display all available commands to send to the area/section/zone/element in alarm by displaying the Properties page. This page displays these commands in a list. Fig.
Treating an event 4.3 Treating a Severe alarm or Alarm Use the Event treatment checklist shown below to ensure that you completely treat a Severe alarm or Alarm. See the page numbers corresponding to each step for details on how to complete that step. 1. Get to the Event Browser .....................................................................................p. 40. 2. Select the event to be treated (touch the event in the Event list).........................p. 42. 3.
Treating an event 4.4 Treating Faults, Exclusions, Anomalies and Advisories A Fault event occurs when something in the system is malfunctioning or requires maintenance (for example, a dirty/drifted detector, or a faulty connection). Once the faulty item has been repaired, you can close the event. An Exclusion event is triggered when one or more fire protection devices has been turned off or switched to test mode somewhere in the system (either by you or by someone else).
Treating an event 4.5 Using the event filter The event filter allows you to view events of a single category (for example, Severe Alarm), and hide all the other categories. The event filter can be useful when there are numerous events in the list, and you need to find or treat a specific category of event.
Using the Plant Browser 5 Using the Plant Browser The Plant Browser is what you use to navigate through your facility, and to perform various tasks. Each detector and security device can be monitored and controlled through the Plant Browser. Detectors and devices are organised into groups, usually by location (for example, by building, floor, and room). You can make changes at the detector level as well as at the area, section, and zone levels.
Using the Plant Browser Introduction to the “hierarchical tree” The Plant Browser presents a tree-structured display showing all the detectors in your site. From the tree, you can review the status of the site, and select and change the state of a detector, a group of detectors, or an entire area. Fig. 32 A B C D Plant Browser – hierarchical tree CK11 Hardware – Collapsed view.
Using the Plant Browser Î To learn about how the Plant Browser is organised, and where to look for the detector or area you want to change, see section 5.1.1.3, Finding what you need on page 57. 5.1.1.1 The basics Terminology… z Hierarchical tree The structure used in the Plant Browser is called a hierarchical tree structure. It is how information is categorised and organised. The tree consists of containers (or nodes), and the contents of those containers. (See Fig. 32.
Using the Plant Browser Fig. 33 A B C D E Logical tree – expanded Logical tree for a control unit (in this case, a CC11 fire panel). Area (in this case, a bank) – Contains Sections, Zones, and individual detectors. Section (in this case, a floor) – Contains zones and individual detectors. Zone (in this case a room) – Changes made to room 201 will affect all detectors located in the room. Individual fire detector located in room 201.
Using the Plant Browser Using the Properties page You access the Properties page with the Properties page icon . If you want to make a change to an item, and the command icon you want is not displayed on the hierarchical tree page (or if no command icon is present), you make the change on the Properties page. This page lists all of the possible commands available for that item.
Using the Plant Browser 5.2 Testing detectors Periodically, detectors need to be tested. That is, detectors need to be triggered to verify that they work as expected. Putting detectors into Test mode will generate one or more Exclusion events. Subsequently triggering or activating these detectors will cause a Test Active Anomaly instead of a Severe Alarm or Alarm. Test states and the list of events generated during testing are recorded in the History database.
Using the Plant Browser After performing a test, remember to do the following: z Switch the sections back out of test mode when finished, or the detectors within those sections will not be able to register genuine alarms. Select the Return icon to return to the hierarchical tree page. Select the Suspend icon to go to the Event Browser. Taking detectors out of test mode To take a section or zone out of test mode, do the following: 1. Go to the Event Browser. 2.
Using the Plant Browser 5.3 Turning detectors off and on In certain situations, such as when there are faults in the system or maintenance must be performed, it may be necessary to turn off or disconnect a device or object so that false alarms aren’t generated. The MT8001 uses the term Exclude for this action.
Using the Plant Browser Fig. 36 Command button on Properties page (“A”) See Also… Î Section 4.4, Treating Faults, Exclusions, Anomalies and Advisories, p. 53. Select the Return icon to return to the hierarchical tree page. Select the Suspend icon to go to the Event Browser. Turning area / section / zone / detector on If a detector or group of detectors has been turned off for maintenance purposes, it / they will need to be turned back on once the work has been finished.
Using the Plant Browser 5.4 Switching to Set or Unset mode You perform switching between Set and Unset modes in the logical tree of the control unit. The level at which you make the switch depends on the control unit you are switching. If you need to switch the mode of an entire facility, and there is more than one control unit, you will need to individually switch each control unit.
Using the Plant Browser If the icon isn’t available on the hierarchical tree page, select the Properties page icon to go to the Properties page, and then press the Set or Unset button in the Command column. (See Fig. 38.) Note: For CZ10, STT11, and CC60 control units, instead of the Set/Unset button you will see a Night/Day button. Building Technologies Fire Safety & Security Products Fig. 37 Command button on hierarchical tree page (“A”) – condition = ‘Set’ Fig.
Using the Plant Browser 5.5 Sending other commands If your MT8001 supports an NK8000 network device equipped with an output module, you can send output commands via this device. The type of commands you can send is configuration-dependent. For example, when you select the Output On command in the Command column on the Properties page, the NK82xx may turn all lights on in your facility. When you send an Output On command, the condition changes from Normal to Active.
Using the History Browser 6 Using the History Browser The MT8001 records and stores the events and actions relating to them as they occur. The History browser provides access to that data at a later date, presented in the form of a scrollable event list. If required, the history archive can be uploaded to an external PC for analysis. Î For more information on how to do this, see the MT8001 Management Terminal History Viewer (STEP #A6V10096164).

Navigational icons Select: To: Go to the previous day Go to the next day Scroll up the Event list Scroll down the Event list z To see details about event treatment for a particular event, select that event.
Using the History Browser 6.1 Viewing previous events This function, which is performed through the History Browser, is usually only available for security managers. Note: The event lists are ordered chronologically by date. The event looks exactly like the original When you select an event from the list in the History Browser, the event that you see is identical to the one that was originally treated.
Using the History Browser To view events that occurred previously, do the following: 1. Go to the History Browser from the Menu. The History Browser (which resembles the Event Browser) displays. 2. Do one of the following to get to the day on which the event you are looking for occurred: − Touch the date field located at the top of the page to display the calendar. Then touch the date you want to see. Note: The current date is highlighted when the calendar first displays.
Using Commands to perform common tasks 7 Using Commands to perform common tasks Fig. 43 A B User commands page List of commands available to you Status of the command you sent When available, the User commands feature can help you to perform common tasks more quickly by executing a series of tasks with the push of a single button. These commands are set up for you and associated with your user profile. See also… Î Section 0, About user permissions, page 76.
Using Commands to perform common tasks If the Rollback button displays, it means that the command was not executed successfully. Selecting Rollback will undo (reverse) all previous changes related to this command. You should always select this button when you see it, as you may not know how much of the command was executed, and how much was not. Rollback returns everything to its original state Imagine your command is supposed to exclude four rooms.
Changing system date and time 8 Changing system date and time This operation is usually only available to technicians and security managers. This option sets the date and time of the MT8001. Note: If the MT8001 was designated as master during the configuration of the MT8001, when the time is changed here, it synchronises the clocks of all other subsystems connected to it. To change the system date and time, do the following: 1. Select Date & Time from the Menu. The Date time settings window appears. 2.
Maintaining and testing the MT8001 9 Maintaining and testing the MT8001 Periodically, you should perform system tests to ensure that the MT8001 is functioning properly. Your facility determines how often you perform system tests. There are five different system tests. All users can perform at least some of the tests. These are accessible through the Service menu from the Menu screen. 9.1 Performing system tests To perform system tests, do the following: 1. Select the Menu button to go to the main Menu.
Maintaining and testing the MT8001 What happens when you perform the tests? The following describes what happens when you perform the different system tests: z Buzzer Test Selecting the Buzzer test causes the internal buzzer to be activated twice, followed by two activations of the external horn. z LED Test Selecting this test causes all the LEDs to be illuminated. Since many of the LED’s are bicolour, each colour is illuminated for approximately 5 seconds. Î Tab.
