7. PRIORITY ALARM STRUCTURE
The Vega control panel has 10 priority alarm queues which will determine how the panel will respond to an
alarm condition. The default settings for loop detectors and panel associated fault conditions are set
accordingly:
!
Fire condition Priority 1
!
Pre-alarm condition Priority 3
!
Fault condition Priority 4
Using the priority structure in conjunction with the header text, systems can be customised to enable alarms of a
more critical nature to override those of lesser importance. The header text is used to differentiate the type of
alarm on the display while the priority queue number will determine what parameters are available to be used.
Refer to Table 5.

8. FIRE & PLANT ZONE INDICATIONS
The control panel has the facility to display a maximum of 16 Fire zone alarms using both the LCD display and
the 16 LED zone indications. A further 104 zones can be configured which are indicated on LCD display only
therefore providing a maximum of 120 fire zones.
Plant zones can be described as non-fire related zones and although there are no LED indications available
plant zones can still be configured for use within the control panel. Each individual input device can be assigned
to a fire zone or plant zone.
