System Configuration

Introduction to Configuration

Configuration of the FA-1000 Fire Alarm Control Panel is performed by a combination of configuration DIP switch

settings and button presses. Circuit-related operations are correlated to their respective disconnect switches.

You can access the configuration DIP switches from the main display module after removing the protective lexan

cover. The DIP switches are labelled as CONFIG. 1 to 8. The circuit (zone) disconnect switches are re-defined as

circuit (zone) select during configuration. Make sure you have set the circuit disconnect switches to the desired

settings before exiting configuration mode. Normal system operation is suspended while configuration mode is

active. You enter configuration mode whenever any of the configuration DIP switches are set as per the functions

listed in the Table 3 on the following page, and you exit configuration mode by turning all the DIP switches OFF (put

switches in the bottom or OFF positions), then pressing the System Reset button.

Three buttons and LED indicators are used in configuration mode:

Acknowledge (yellow button): This becomes a "Select Setting" button and the LED indicator may show the

current status of a function.

General Alarm (red button): This becomes a "Confirmation" button for some functions, used together with the

Yellow Button.

Buzzer Silence (blue button): This button performs its normal function of silencing the buzzer.

All other buttons are non-functional during configuration mode. Additionally, the Green Power “ON” LED will be

“OFF” during configuration mode. Common trouble LED will flash to test. Config LED (amber) will be on.

Figure 27 Configuration Indicators and Controls

Note: While in configuration mode the fire alarm control panel is not operating.

The figure to the left shows the positions of the

configuration DIP switch and the yellow and red

buttons. Each has a matching LED indicator of the

same color. Note that the labels Acknowledge and

General Alarm will only be shown in an FA-1000

configured as a two-stage system.

Configuration functions are selected by the

configuration DIP switches as follows in Table 3 on

the next page. Note that a switch position of "0" is

"OFF" (bottom position) and "1" is "ON" (top position).
