4. Commissioning Procedure
This chapter covers the commissioning of both a standalaone system
and a distributed system with several system units operating on the
local operating network; AUTROLON.
The commissioning procedure deals with all system units that are
available in the AutroSafe Interactive Fire Alarm System, including:
• Fire Alarm Control Panel, BS-320
• Operating Panel, BS-330
• Repeater Panel, BU-320
• Information Panel, BV-320
• Controller, BC-320
The following chapters describe how to verify all system units, units,
download configuration data to all system units, and finally how to
perform the startup procedure..
As a general rule and for your convenience when commissioning a
distributed system, always perform the necessary tasks step 1-5
(shown below), starting with, for example, the Operator Panel, then
continue with the Repeater Panel, Information Panel or Controller.
Note that, the last system unit should always be the Fire Alarm
Control Panel (the booting panel).
STEP Actions to Perform

2

panel defined as the booting panel will be the last panel to prepare and
perform the startup procedure from.
