CONFIGURATION MANAGER
Type: The type of device is selectable from a drop down list box.
Note: Along with other devices FastSense is selected from this drop down box.
Type Descr (Description): The type descriptor is automatically entered by the program.
This may be modified if required but it is limited to 6 characters.
Zone Cnfg (Configuration): The zone config column uses a drop down list box to
display the options that a device may be set to, these are;
NORMAL: 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: Alarm Verification Facility. This configuration allows for the system to detect that there is a true
alarm before the detector will go into alarm.
Self Reset: The detector will be reset automatically after a predetermined period.
Non Latching: this is non-latching. The detector will automatically return to normal after a
predetermined period when the source of the alarm e.g. smoke is removed.
General Purpose: Used for input output devices. When set to general purpose any activated
input is not displayed on the LCD. When using sub addressing input output units are set to general
purpose. Clicking on the + (more) button will then allow you to set inputs for other options e.g.:
Inactive, General (set a Function), Latching, Non latching, Fault. The ADDRESS will be the
sequential number assigned to the device / sensor when the description is entered in the Module
screen. The SUB-ADDRESS is the INPUT designator (1 to 3) that is assigned to the description
entered for a particular INPUT. To access this screen click on the + icon in the Module screen.
Investigation: (Delays to Outputs EN54-2:1997:7.11 / AS7240.2-2004:7.11)
This is an investigation and coincidence facility for activation of sounder and/or fire outputs.
Dual Stage: MultiSensor Detector Smoke Pre-Alarm Heat Alarm
AAF: The Alarm Acknowledgement Facility (AAF) at the panel is supported by assigning an AAF
Group number to an XP95 AAF device facilitating association with trigger devices assigned to the
same AAF group. Supported AAF trigger devices include all alarm calling loop devices excluding I/O
devices, Manual Call Points and Heat detectors.
Dual Stage (AAF): As with AAF but using a Multisensor Dual Stage Activation. The Smoke alarm is
silence able, when the Heat detector activates the panel will go into alarm
LOCAL: Doesn’t call the brigade
Time Out: This column is the used to enter the time out that is used only for Self Resetting
and investigate alarm devices. A maximum of 300 seconds is allowable. If something greater than
300 seconds is entered an error message will be displayed when the project is compiled
AIF (Alarm Investigation Facility): If this box if set to Y (Yes) the device is set to respond as
an Alarm Investigation Facility.
Remote Association: Set to Y allows the remote LED to be illuminated on Alarm, set to N
disables the remote LED and will not be illuminated on Alarm although if the LED was under
program control within a Function this setting will be over ridden. An example of its use is where a
detector is located in a concealed space (e.g. Ceiling void) and the remote LED is mounted on the
ceiling in full view.
Alm (Alarm) LED: Is the Front Panel Alarm LED. This normally set to Yes.
