1. Introduction
1.1 About the Handbook
This document describes in detail how to configure site-specific
installations of the Autroprime Interactive Fire Detection System
by means of the operating buttons on the panel.
1.2 The Reader
This handbook is intended for technicians and service personnel
who are responsible for the site-configuration of the Autroprime
system. We assume that the reader is familiar with the manoeuvre
and utility buttons which are described in detail in the Operator’s
Handbook.

1.4 Ready-to-use in a Pre-configured State
Autroprime is provided to the user in a pre-configured state, in this
state the panel is set to recognize detectors and other loop units
connected to the detection loops and the availability of routing
equipment, etc. As such, the system is fully functional and ready-to-
use simply by turning ON the power, but not configured to respond
in any non-default way. A functional verification of the panel is run to
assure the panel itself is fully functional.
By default the system has one Detection Zone and one Alarm Zone.
A point in alarm will activate all Fire Alarm Devices and Fire Alarm
Routing Equipment.
Site-specific configuration can be performed by means of the panel
buttons. Refer to chapter 2.1, Site-specific Configuration.
1.5 Saving a Configuration and Restarting the System
Note that you always have to save a configuration and restart the
system;
after an initial startup (part of the start-up procedure)
each time a configuration has been changed.
This menu selections are found in the Service Menu/System
Settings (see chapter 2).
1.6 Configuration Examples
Chapter 9 in this handbook deals with two configuration examples,
one basic configuration example and an example with several alarm
zones and control functions. These examples shows how to perform
typical configurations of a medium-sized installation (to simplify the
understanding of the configuration principle, the basic configuration
example deals with one loop and 8 points only).

2. Service Commands
2.1 Site-specific Configuration
Site-specific configuration can be performed by means of the panel
buttons (configuration level 2), typically including:
naming and assigning detectors/manual call points to Detection
Zones
naming and defining the number and type of Detection Zones
(Immediate Action, Dependency Action, Delayed Action, Delayed
Dependency Action, SOLAS)
assigning Fire Alarm Devices to Alarm Zones
specifying the Detections Zones that can activate selected Alarm
Zones
configuring “conditions” for outputs, for example, coincidence
action; meaning that at least two detectors in the same detection
zone must be in alarm state before actions are initiated
assigning Detection Zones to disable devices (BW-200)
All these options and many more are available in the Service menu.
2.2 Access Level 3 – Service Menu
From the operator panel you can perform service commands. To
use the Service Commands, access level 3 is required.
Access Level Access Remedy Description
3 Password restricted Accessible by persons trained and authorized to do
reconfiguration of site specific data and maintenance
according to the manufacturer’s published instruction.
4 Mechanical tool Accessible by persons doing repair work and changing
firmware.
2.3 Service Menu
The entire Service Menu is shown on the next page.

3.4 Day Mode Operation Times
By default the entire system is set to Night Mode, meaning that the
system is set to immediate output actioning.
The system menu Day Mode Operation Times allows you to
configure settings for automatic delay of the activation of outputs to
Fire Alarm Devices (FAD) and/or Fire Alarm Routing Equipment
(FARE) at certain periods.
The settings will only affect points that have been set to “Override
Delay and Dependency NO” in detection zones configured as
Delayed Action Detection Zones or Delayed Dependency Detection
Zones.
To achieve this, you simply choose the days in the week when you
want the system to automatically enable the delays, plus the exact
duration of the disablement in hours and minutes (the start time and
end time).
A maximum of 14 settings are available (for example, 7 days; 2
intervals per day, or, for example, 14 intervals for one specific day).
Note that overlapping settings are not possible.
From the Service Menu, perform the following:
Press Enter to select System Settings.
Press the arrow down button to select Day Mode Operation
Times, then press Enter twice.
Use the left/right arrow button to select among the following days:
oUnspecified
oEvery day
oMonday to Friday
oSaturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday,
Sunday.
Press Enter.
Use the alphanumeric keypad to specify the start time*
(hours:minutes), then press Enter.
Specify the end time* (hours:minutes), then press Enter.
* Note that if an invalid input is given, a message indicating this will
appear in the display.
It is recommended that all settings (for example, settings for 4
different days) are done before the settings finally are confirmed.

3.7 Set Operator Panel Connection
This command allows the operator to specify how the operator panel
is connected.
If the panel is to be operated as a standalone panel (and the
panel is connected accordingly, i.e. J7), the menu selection
Operator Panel must be selected (default).
If the panel is to be connected to a panel bus, the menu selection
Auxiliary terminal block (J4) must be selected.
From the Service Menu, perform the following:
Press Enter to select System Settings.
Press the arrow down button to select Operator Panel
Connection, then press Enter twice.
Use the arrow left/right button to select;
J7, Operator Panel (default) if the panel is to operate as a
standalone panel
or;
J4, Auxiliary terminal block if the panel is to be connected to a
panel bus.
To confirm the chosen settings, press Enter twice.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The default panel connection setting (Service Menu/System
Settings/“Set Operator Panel connection”) is set to “J7,
Operator Panel” (connector J7). Likewise, the cables from
the integrated operator panel BS-210 are connected to
connector J7.
All panels delivered from our factory are thus prepared for
operating as a standalone cabinet with an integrated BS-210
and with no external panel bus.
If an external panel bus with additional panels is to be
connected to the cabinet or the operator panel BS-210 is to
be placed outside the cabinet, the panel connection setting
and cabling (communication cables) must be changed during
installation/commissioning in order to achieve redundancy
and fault monitoring of the panel bus.

3.8 Sound Patterns
The standard setup of the system provides the following default
sound patterns in the following prioritized order:
Sound signal Default sound patterns Default Prolong Signal (the
last bit)
Custom-defined Pattern 1 0000000000000000 0 seconds
General Alarm Pattern 0101010101010101 2 seconds
Evacuate Pattern 1100110011001100 0 seconds
Alert Pattern 1000000010000000 0 seconds
Custom-defined Pattern 2 0000000000000000 0 seconds
Custom-defined Pattern 3 0000000000000000 0 seconds
Pattern Activation
Detection zones are connected to alarm zones (Main Alarm Zones).
An alarm signal from the detection zones activates the EVACUATE
pattern in these alarm zones. Neighbour Alarm zones may be
connected to the Main Alarm Zones. The Neighbour Alarm Zones
will have the ALERT pattern activated.
The remaining patterns may be activated from an input signal
configured as “Activate all Alarms” (refer to 5.9.2). Be aware of the
priority given in the table above.
The following settings are available for each sound pattern:
The Sound Pattern is set by choosing a predefined 16 bit number
(binary) which determines the pattern (for example, the Alert Pattern,
including the following bits; 1000000010000000). The one-digits
correspond to ON, and the zero-digits correspond to OFF.
Prolong Signal: It is possible to prolong the last signal (i.e. the last
bit) for a chosen sound pattern from 1 to a maximum of 99 seconds.
Sound Level: It is possible to choose between High, Medium or Low
sound level. (Not applicable for BBL-100 and BBL-100/IP).
Sound Tone: It is possible to choose between Continuous or Slow
Whoop. (Not applicable for BBL-100 and BBL-100/IP).
