FIREFINDER NZ CONFIGURATION MANAGER
5.1.1 Specific Device Settings
Example of setting devices to a specific Zone Config;
XP95 Thermals:
Heat A: Specifies XP95 Thermal Type A device is fitted (Rate of rise).
Heat B: Specifies XP95 Thermal Type B device is fitted (Fixed).
AAM Modules:
Investigation Alarm: Allows for an investigation period before the device goes into full alarm.
5.1.2 Input Output Device Settings
When dealing with IO devices on an Apollo loop as part of a FireFinder Series II system there are
two main modes of operation.
Mode 1: (Alarm Calling)
 Note: Once an alarm is detected an Acknowledgement and a Reset is required to clear the
Alarm and LCD so as to ensure the ALARM HAS BEEN NOTED and will not go un-noticed as per
AS4428.
Normal: is a normal or latching configuration for the zone. This configuration will allow the detector
to go straight into alarm when it detects smoke (alarm calling).
AVF: the Alarm Verification Facility allows for the system to verify that smoke has been present in a
smoke detector for 10 seconds before the system will go into alarm. AVF is not recommended for I/O
devices as an input is either “ON” or “OFF”.
Self Resetting: the detector will be reset automatically after a predetermined period defined by the
time-out parameter (nominally 30 – 60 seconds) after the alarm condition has been removed.
Non Latching: the detector will automatically return to normal after a predetermined period
(normally 1 – 2 seconds) when the source of the alarm (e.g. smoke) is removed.
When an IO device is set in alarm calling mode the device is treated as an ALARM Device. This
means that if any of the inputs get turned on then the device is in alarm because the inputs are
associated with the device, e.g.
 If input 1 is on then loop 1 sensor 1 is in ALARM.
 If input 2 is on then loop 1 sensor 1 is in ALARM.
 If input 3 is on then loop 1 sensor 1 is in ALARM.
If any input (1, 2 or 3) goes into alarm the descriptor will be displayed. The common outputs on the
brigade board of the panel are defined by the settings as shown in the columns (Bell to Alarm LED).
