MORLEY-IAS 4.6 FIRE 6.21 User Manual Outputs 4.6.1 A Note about Outputs  There are two types of output: relays and sounders. These outputs can be classed as being either onboard, loop or peripheral.  All of the outputs associated with a multi-output device are grouped at a single loop address; each output is then allocated a sub-address. Single-output devices have their outputs on sub-address 1.  Each type of panel has its own configuration of Onboard Outputs; e.g.

MORLEY-IAS 4.7 FIRE 6.21 User Manual Ringing Patterns 4.7.1 Adding a New Ringing Pattern  Each output may optionally be assigned to a ringing pattern. This can be used to describe the way each zone triggers the ringing pattern. The ringing pattern can then be assigned to an output in the Outputs Editor using the ringing pattern column. The way in which the ringing pattern will operate can then be set up in the Ringing Patterns Editor.
PAGE 31
FIRE 6.21 User Manual MORLEY-IAS 4.7.2 The Ringing Patterns Editor  This editor allows the configuration of zonal range settings for existing ringing patterns. Note that new ringing patterns are added by assigning an unused ringing pattern number to an output in the Outputs Editor.  The Ringing Patterns Editor is shown below: The ringing pattern being edited Contains the zonal settings for the chosen ringing pattern Ensures that a zonal range is added to the ringing pattern.

PAGE 33
FIRE 6.21 User Manual 4.7.4.3  MORLEY-IAS Deleting A Zonal Setting In previous versions of the configuration tool a facility was provided to delete a zonal setting. This has now been removed as the same effect can be achieved by editing the zonal range (see above) and setting it to the OFF mode. The advantage of this method over the old method is that the deleted zonal range rather than implicitly set to OFF is now explicitly set to OFF and remains in the grid.

MORLEY-IAS FIRE 6.21 User Manual 4.8.2 The Event Logic Editor  This is shown below:  It consists of: - A grid where data is entered, with the following columns: Name Seq Logic E1 E2 Description The sequence number (cannot be changed). The logic to use. There is a choice of: AND = if all of the causal events entered occur OR = if any of the causal events entered occur NONE = ignore this sequence The causal event numbers. This defaults to 0, which means don’t include in the logic. (i.e.
PAGE 35
FIRE 6.21 User Manual MORLEY-IAS 4.8.3 Testing Events  It is possible to enter contradictory data into the event logic editor, which would create invalid sequences. There are several ways in which bad data may be entered; perhaps one of the most common is for the effect event in sequence to have the same number as one or more of its cause events. The ‘Test Logic’ button can be used to scan through all 60 sequences searching for this phenomenon.
