6.29 - Adding a Device – commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>1.Setup>>5.Device Setup>>2.Add Device
Additional devices can be added to the system at any time. The device needs to be put into programming mode in
order to add it to the system. First remove the device from its base or backplate.
1. If a smoke, heat detector or combined sounder is being programmed; hold both the reset button and the
unit removal button down while you place the jumper link to the ON position.
2. If a beacon, sounder, callpoint, transmitter or I/O unit is being programmed; hold down the unit removal
button while holding a magnet over the reed switch and move the jumper link to the ON position. Some
newer devices are equipped with a ‘log on’ button and do not
require a magnet to program. Simply hold the button while
placing the jumper link to the ON position.
Continue to hold the button(s) for approximately 5 seconds until a
con rmation of 3 beeps from the device is heard. The LED on the device
will now ash green. Press Enter to scan for the device. Once the device
has been found, the device type will be displayed on the screen. The LED
on the device will stay lit until the device has been successfully added
to the system. The device number and zone for the new unit should be
selected using the cursor keys. You will now be prompted to choose from
using either the device default settings set by the control panel or to
manually set the options. All options are entered using the cursor keys.
Once you have chosen the options, press Enter to program.
When adding a heat detector to the system, the user can select one of four
operating modes:
Fixed Point The device will go into alarm once the temperature
reaches this point. The user can specify an alarm temperature from 50 – 99C.
Rate of Rise The device will go into alarm when it senses a rapid increase in temperature. The user can choose
from 3 levels of sensitivity.
A1S As speci ed by EN54 part 5, A1S detectors are intended for use in applications where the
ambient temperature is typically around 25C and not expected to exceed 50C. A1S detectors
will not respond below their minimum static response temperature of 54C. A1S is the default
setting.
A1R As speci ed by EN54 part 5, an A1R detector is a rate of rise detector with a xed upper limit of
57C, at which the device will go into alarm if the rate of rise has been too slow to trigger the alarm
earlier.
