2.3 NORMAL OPERATION

When the controller is initially powered up, with no faults oralarms in the system and the ‘Enable’ key in the ‘off’position, the following screen is displayed:

2.3.1 EVENT MONITORING

The term ‘event’ is used to describe a change in systemstatus that must be acknowledged and/or generates anoutput.

Examples of events include:

• Mains failure

• Detection of a fire condition

• Operation of ‘EVACUATE/FIRE ALARM’key

All events trigger a response, the category of which dependson the event type and will be one of the following (inpriority order):

• Full Alarm or Alert

• Pre-Alarm

• Fault

• Isolation

• Test Mode

• Warning

• Information

When an event occurs, it is stored in the event log. Thecontents of this log may be displayed in two formats:

• Unaccepted and locally accepted events

• All events in chronological order ofoccurrence

The events are stored in chronological order withunaccepted events marked as outstanding. The event logmay hold up to 3000 events; in the unlikely occurrence ofthe log filling up, the oldest record will be overwritten.

2.3.2 EVENT DISPLAY

The display automatically shows the last event of thecategory with the highest priority. With Scroll keys, it ispossible to get all events in this category in chronologicalorder. With Softkey F5 the user can change to anothercategory (if available).

Important: Category ‘Full Alarm/Alert’ shows only the firstpoint of a zone in alarm. If two points of one zone are inalarm, only the first one which was in alarm will bedisplayed. The second alarm can only be accessed via themenu option ‘View Event Log’.

2.4 OPERATION IN ALARM

2.4.1 SYSTEM RESPONSE

When a fire condition is detected, the system responds asfollows:

1) The internal buzzer will sound in acontinuous tone.

2) Both red ‘FIRE’ LEDs will light.

3) The SOUNDERS and NOTIFICATIONSTATUS ‘ACTIVATED’ red LEDs willlight.

Note: If the alarm is initiated by a detector, there maybe a delay of from 1 to 10 minutes before theNOTIFICATION STATUS ‘ACTIVATED’ ledlights. This is to allow time for the alarm to beinvestigated and any relevant action takenbefore signalling is initiated. A Callpoint set toevacuate will initiate signallingimmediately. Refer to Section 2.6.3.

4) For the MX controllers, the sounders andany other configured outputs will beactivated.

5) The LCD will display a message in theformat:

6) For a T2000 controller, the sounders and anyo t h e r c o n f i g u r e d o u t p u t s w i l l b eactivated. If the alarm is not acceptedwithin the programmed delay period bypressing the ‘INVESTIGATE DELAY’ key,all other sounder outputs will be activated.

The message format is as follows:

Under ‘FIRE’:

The top line shows the Zone and Point number of thedevice in alarm.

The second line shows the zone description (defined atconfiguration).

The third line shows the point description (defined atconfiguration).

The fourth line shows the type of alarm.

If no information text is shown:

The fifth line shows date and time.The sixth line shows the device type.

The seventh line shows the actual CURRENTtemperature (if heat sensor).

Note: The above is only displayed if Extended AlarmInformation has been selected atconfiguration.

Under ‘First Fire’:

The first three lines from ‘FIRE’ arerepeated.The number of alarms is displayed on theblack bar underneath the first fireinformation.

2.4.2 SOUNDER SILENCING

When a FIRE ALARM is received, investigate the cause ofthe alarm.

WARNING:

WHEN SEARCHING AN AREA FOR THE SOURCE OF A FIRE ALARM SIGNAL, WHERE A FIRE ALARM HAS BEEN

INITIATED BY A ‘CARBON MONOXIDE’ FIRE DETECTOR, IT MUST BE

REMEMBERED THAT A CARBON MONOXIDE FIRE DETECTOR MAY

GENERATE AN ALARM BEFORE OTHER FIRE INDICATORS (SUCH AS SMOKE) ARE

PRESENT.

THIS OCCURS MOST NOTABLY IN DEEP SEATED FIRES IN DENSELY PACKED

MATERIALS, AREAS WHERE FIRES MAY OCCUR IN CUPBOARDS AND

STOREROOMS REMOTE FROM DETECTORS AND WHERE SMOKE

IMPERVIOUS BARRIERS EXIST BETWEEN THE SEAT OF THE FIRE AND THE

DETECTOR (SUCH AS WITHIN WALL CAVITIES). THESE FACTORS SHOULD BE

CONSIDERED CAREFULLY BEFORE DECLARING SAFE ANY AREA WHERE A CARBON MONOXIDE FIRE DETECTOR

HAS RAISED AN ALARM.

Once the cause of the alarm has been determined and allappropriate action has been taken, silence the sounders asfollows:

a) Insert the key into the front panel keyswitchand turn it clockwise to the ‘enable’position.

b) Press ‘SILENCE/RESOUND’.

The system will respond as follows:

i) The sounders will be silenced.

ii) The ‘SOUNDER ACTIVATED’ LED willextinguish.

2.4.3 RESETTING THE CONTROLLER

Note:

1) When the system is in a Fire Alarm state,Silence must be operated before Reset ispossible. This interlock is always presentunder Fire Alarm condition, even if all soundersare isolated.

2) The controller should also NOT be reset untilthe source of the alarm has been determinedby the Fire Brigade or the cause otherwisefound (and the condition removed).

Once the notes above have been observed, press the‘RESET’ key. The display will show the following message:

Reset

in

Progress...

*

When the count reaches 0 after 17 to 20 seconds, the LCDwill return to the normal display (Section 2.3) if no faults orother events are present.

2.4.4 MULTIPLE EVENTS

If, when in alarm condition, a second alarm (of anotherzone) is received, the system response is dependent on thenature and source of the second alarm as follows:

a) If the sounders have NOT been silenced, thefollowing will occur:

i) The internal buzzer will continue to soundwithout interruption.

ii) The LCD will continue to display thealarm message for the FIRST fire alarmand also the last fire alarm.

iii) The alarm count will be incremented.

2.4.5 PRE-ALARM WARNINGS

If the LCD shows a message including a “warning”indication, a pre-alarm condition has been detected by thecontroller. This may be indicated for example, if a detectoridentifies a build-up of smoke or heat that might result froma fire, but the alarm threshold has not yet been reached. Theinternal buzzer will sound but the sounders and visual fireindicators will remain inactive at this stage. Proceed asfollows:

a) Accept the event, (if the option is available),noting the location of the event.

b) Initiate action to deal with the conditionindicated, taking care to determine if thewarning was initiated by a fire condition orby a system fault.

If the detector subsequently shows an alarm condition, analarm will be generated, regardless of whether the pre-alarm warning was accepted.

2.5 OPERATION IN FAULT CONDITION

2.5.1 SYSTEM RESPONSE

When a Fault condition is detected, the system will respondas follows:

a) The internal buzzer will pulse.

b) The yellow ‘GENERAL FAULT’ LED willlight.

c) The LCD backlight will come on and willdisplay the following type of screen:

The message format is as follows:

The top line shows the Zone and pointnumber in fault condition.

The second line shows the zone description(defined in configuration).

The third line shows the point description(defined in configuration).

The fourth line shows the type of fault.

If no information text is shown:

The fifth line shows the date and time.

the sixth line shows the device type.

The message will continue to be displayed until theintervention of an operator or the fault is cleared.

2.5.2 OPERATOR ACTION

When a Fault condition occurs, proceed as follows:

a) Press the ‘SILENCE BUZZER’ key.The internal buzzer will silence, but theLED and display will continue to operate asdescribed.

b) Investigate the source of the fault and wherepossible remove.

Note: If the fault cannot be cured, contact your localsupplier and arrange for a service visit.

The fault information will be displayed until the fault iscleared.

2.6 FIRE CONTROL KEYS

There are six fire control keys on the Operator Control Module(or Display Control Module for MX2), namely:

• SILENCE BUZZER

• SILENCE/RESOUND

• RESET

• DAY MODE

• INVESTIGATE DELAY

• EVACUATE (FIRE ALARM for Marine)

Only the ‘SILENCE BUZZER’ key is active without the‘Enable’ key being inserted and turned to the ‘Enabled’position.

The functions of ‘SILENCE BUZZER’, SILENCE/RESOUND’ and ‘RESET have already been described. Thefunctions of ‘EVACUATE or FIRE ALARM’,‘INVESTIGATE DELAY’ and ‘DAY MODE’ are described inthe following paragraphs.

2.6.1 EVACUATE or FIRE ALARM

Once enabled by the keyswitch, pressing ‘EVACUATE orFIRE ALARM’ will cause the following:

a) The internal buzzer will sound continuously.

b) The red ‘FIRE’ LEDs will light.

c) The sounders and any other configured outputsare activated.

d) The LCD will display the following type ofscreen:

2.6.2 DAY/NIGHT MODE

In night mode the system activates immediately when analarm is received, the internal buzzer, all sounders andalarm signalling outputs operate.

In day mode, on receipt of an alarm, only the internalbuzzer and sounders are activated immediately. A delaytime is started (default 60 seconds) in which the alarmmessage must be acknowledged (‘Investigate delay’switch) to start the investigation time. If there is noacknowledgement within this time, the alarm signallingoutputs will be activated.

The investigation time (default 10 minutes) is the timeremaining for staff to carry out investigation of the alarmsource, before the alarm signalling outputs will beactivated.

An evacuate callpoint will initiate an immediate alarm.

Signalling is always immediate if sounder faults exist inthe system.

2.6.3 INVESTIGATE DELAY

The ‘INVESTIGATE DELAY’ switch is only active whenthe controller is in the ‘DAY MODE’ of operation. If aFire Alert is received at the controller, the signalling outputis delayed for 1 minute, if the ‘Investigate Delay’ switch ispressed during this period a further delay (configurablebetween 1 and 10 minutes) is initiated. This delay allowsfor the alarm to be investigated, if it is a false alarm, thecause of the alarm can be removed and the controller to besilenced and reset. If the alarm is real, then pressing the‘EVACUATE/FIRE ALARM, switch will cause thesignalling output to activate.

2.6.4 TEST

Pressing ‘LED TEST’ causes all the LEDs and internalbuzzer to operate for a few seconds. If the system includesa repeater panel, only the panel that is operated is activated.

2.7 AUXILIARY DISPLAY DEVICES

2.7.1 GENERAL

Depending on the configuration of the system, there maybe one or more auxiliary display devices fitted. Thesedevices may be of the following types:

• Repeaters

• Printers

The functions of and operating instructions for thesedevices are given in the following paragraphs.

MX17A-05-O5 11/04

PAGE 16 of 35

2.7.2 REPEATERS

A repeater allows the controller to be operated from aremote location and provides remote indications of thestate of the controller. The front panel of the repeater isidentical to that of the controller (see Fig. 1) and allcontroller operations may be performed at the repeaterpanel.

2.7.3 PRINTERS

Refer to the manual supplied with the printer for operatinginstructions.

2.7.3.1 LCD REPEATERS

LCD Repeaters can:

• Display the alarm and fault messages asdisplayed on the Controller on a backlit 4 x20-character alphanumeric display.

• Provide an internal log for up to 150 events.

• Provide an internal audible warning of anevent.

• Allow the event log to be displayed usingthe scroll keys.

• Silence the internal buzzer and externalsounder (if fitted) with the key.

3. CONTROLLER FUNCTIONSAs stated, the MX controller has built-in functions. Thesefunctions allow the operator to perform such actions asviewing the event log, setting the date and time, etc. Thefunctions are arranged according to sophistication andaccess to certain of them necessarily needs to be restrictedto trained staff.

The control of access has been achieved by assigningfunctions to Access Levels, each Access Level having anassociated numeric passcode. The passcode for aparticular Access Level is defined at system configuration.

MUTE

3.1 ACCESS LEVELS

3.1.1 GENERAL

The access levels available are as follows:

• Customer Operator 1 to 7 - 4 digits

• Customer Manager 1 - 5 digits

• Customer Manager 2 - 6 digits

These access levels are described in the followingparagraphs. A maximum of 99 Passcodes are availablewhich may be split between Access Levels as required.

Note: The Customer Operator 1 Access Level isachieved by turning the ‘ENABLE’ key to theenable position (ie, a Passcode is notrequired).
