OPERATOR MANUAL
Document No.: 4100-M001 May 1997 Issue 1.0
A 2 line, 80 character alphanumeric LCD display is used to annunciate a 40
character custom label message per device or circuit, the device point type (smoke
detector, manual call point, etc.), the current status of the device or circuit (alarm,
fault etc.) as well as operator prompts for acknowledging status changes or inputting
commands. The alphanumeric display will show various prompts and labels which
are used to guide the user through a sequenced operation for each abnormal
condition.
The 4100 can be programmed to perform a "global acknowledge" where a single key
press of the appropriate acknowledge button will silence the piezo for all points in
that condition. The 4100 can also be programmed for individual acknowledgment of
each point in an abnormal condition as well as its restoration.
After an alarm condition, the system can be restored to normal operating mode by
depressing the " System Reset" button. To serve as a "fault reminder" when a fault
condition remains in the system and audible fault signal has been silenced, the
piezo will resound at a specified time interval to alert the user that the fault condition
remains and needs rectification.
The operator’s interface door provides easy access to additional operator controls
and LED indicators. The depth of the operator’s interaction is determined by four
Security Access levels.
Level 1 is the lowest level and allows the operator to perform routine actions. Level 4
on the other hand is the highest level and only provides for the most sensitive
operations by an authorised service technician. Each of these access levels is
governed by a passcode chosen at order entry or as edited by a Simplex service
technician.
The "FUNCTION KEYS", "DISPLAY/ACTION" keypad, and the "ENTRY" keypad are
the operator interface sections which provide, in a self -directing manner, operations
non-essential in a fire emergency situation.
These operations include items such "ISOLATE" or "DE-ISOLATE" a circuit, turn a
control point "ON" or "OFF", and menu items such as "SET TIME AND DATE",
"DISPLAY HISTORICAL LOGS", etc. Programmable "CONTROL" keys and their
associated LEDs can be programmed to perform a variety of functions and can be
individually passcode protected. These "CONTROL" keys are typically used for
alarm and fault test, ACF Isolate, Brigade test and battery test functions.
