Application Guide
Fire
The large capacity, ability to support complex cause and
effect programming and wide range of user-controllable
functions make these panels suitable for a wide range of
projects from sheltered housing to large office
developments as well as many industrial applications.
This range of panels provide a large (120mm x 90mm) touch
screen display as the main user element, eliminating the need
for dedicated system push buttons. The user interface is
menu-driven, automatically reconfiguring to suit the chosen
menu option. To enable text updates directly at the panel, the
display converts to a full QWERTY keyboard, enabling
comprehensive text insertion.
The panels also have 96 zone fire LEDs providing additional
information about the extent of any fire activation as well as a
comprehensive set of system status LEDs providing
additional visual information for the end user.
The panels use ‘spur tolerant’ soft addressing to minimise
installation time and remove the potential for error normally
associated with manual addressing.

Zones
Assigning devices to the relevant zones can be done either at the panel direct or by using site installer. The contractor
should always provide the zone information, as this is part of the system design process and takes into account the fire
compartment boundaries, which you may not be aware of.
The panel has 96 zonal LED’s, if ringing patterns are required across a network then all zones must exist on all panels
within the network.
Example:
Panel 1 has zones 1 –10 in use, Panel 2 zones 11 – 20 in use, Panel 3 zones 21 – 30 in use.
In this case ALL panels would have zones 1 – 30 programmed onto Loop 1.
Panel 1 would have devices in zones 1 – 10 but none in zones 11 – 30.
Panel 2 would have devices in zones 11 – 20 but none in zones 1 – 10 & 21 – 30.
Panel 3 would have devices in zones 21 – 30 but none in zones 1 – 20
Access Codes
There are 4 access codes for the CF3000 / DF6000 / FX6000.
• User Code:
This allows control of the silence, evacuate and reset functions and also enable/disable; replace device and check
auto config functions. This code can be changed to a site-specific code.
• Engineer Code:
This gives access to the engineer parts of the menu, which are used, for learning and programming the system.
• High Level Codes:
These 2 codes give access to menu’s which:
1. Can be used to return the system to its factory settings, and to change the logo’s on the display.
2. Disable ALL Outputs.
3. View all access codes and reset to default codes.
Disable/Enable Devices
This menu allows the customer to disable and enable selected detectors, zones or I/O’s. Detectors and zones are self-
explanatory, simply touch the Enabled/Disabled box against each zone or device. The disable I/O menu however,
allows the user to disable FRE, FPE, AUX relay, Fault output and panel Sounders 1 & 2.
When the panel is in Auto learn individual sounders CANNOT be disabled, the only method of disabling sounders is by
using the ‘Disable all outputs’ function, or, download text into the panel, which will then allow the sounders to be
disabled by zone or individually.
If a device is already ‘in fire’ the system will not allow the user to disable it. The zone that the device belongs in must be
disabled; this function is still available if the panel is in fire.
If a complete zone is disabled, individual devices within that zone cannot be selected for re-enabling.
If the panel is part of a network then devices can be disabled across the network by using the ‘Network disable/enable
function’.

Replace Device
The replace device function is used to change faulty equipment without the need to change text or zone allocation.
The faulty component is changed and then the replace device function selected, the loop and address of the faulty
device are inputted and the panel then scans the loop for address 254, when it receives a reply the previously inputted
address information is programmed on to the new device.
This function cannot be used if a different type of device is replacing the component. ‘Add/Delete’ device function
must then be used.
Check Auto Config
This function has two purposes, the first is to check that when a database has been downloaded the transmitted data
matches the device data on the loop and then it highlights any anomalies as device unknown or device type
mismatches.
The second is to pinpoint any o/c or s/c faults on the loop. The panel achieves this by electronically disconnecting the
return legs and interrogates the devices on the loop. If there is a break the panel will go to fault stating the first device it
cannot see beyond the break. This same function also pinpoints short circuits in the same way, creating a fault beyond
the point where an isolator has opened.
Delays
A sounder delay is set up using site installer and is must be programmed on stage 1 of ‘Device Outputs’. The
maximum time is ten minutes and it can only be programmed in whole minutes.
When programming a delay on the panel sounder circuits the zones selected in the allocate devices box trigger the
delay. Whereas on the loop powered sounders and the sounder controller unit the zones not selected will trigger the
delay and the zones selected will operate the sounders immediately.
The above has been changed in V1.81.01 Display/V1.83.3 Loop so that the devices selected in the list will trigger the
delay and the devices not selected will have no effect.
The delay trigger can be by address, zone, panel or globally.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones, which must be on the same panel.
When triggering a delay on the panel sounders by zone the limit is reduced to 8 zones. If no zones are selected then
the delay will be global.
When a delay has been set up the sounder fault and general disable led’s will be illuminated permanently.
A delay can be set up on the Sounder control unit in the same way as a loop powered sounder, however, only stage 1
of sounder circuit 1 will accept the delay. The other 3 sounder circuits WILL NOT accept a delay.

Double Knock
Double knock operation is programmed on site installer and is used to prevent unnecessary evacuation of the site. 2
fires are needed from the selected list before the output condition is satisfied and the output can operate
The operation can be done by address, zone, panel or global.
When selecting the trigger to be by address all the addresses have to be on the same loop and the limit is sixteen.
When selecting the trigger to be by zone then the limit is sixteen zones, which must be on the same panel. Selecting
by zone means that two different zones will have to be in fire before the output condition is satisfied.
When selecting the trigger to be global then any two fires on that panel will satisfy the output condition.
If double knock is required to operate across the network then selecting by panel will allow any two fires on the
selected panels to satisfy the output condition.
NOTE: If Double knock is set by zone – any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy the condition.
Coincidence (Dependency type C)
Coincidence is different from double knock in that two fires from the allocate device list are required to satisfy the
output condition but one fire from outside the list will also satisfy the output condition.
This function is similar to double knock in the way that it is set up i.e. by address, by zone and has the same
restrictions on the number of trigger devices.
NOTE: If Coincidence is set by zone – any 2 devices within the same zone will NOT satisfy the condition.
Weekly Test
This function allows the user to perform a weekly test single-handed.
Once this function has been selected the panel starts a four-minute timer, when a call point is activated within these
four minutes the panel will operate the sounders and then silence and reset the system.
Once this has been done the weekly test mode will be cancelled. If no call point is activated within the four minutes the
weekly test mode will be cancelled.
During this test mode the interface outputs will not operate neither will the FRE and FPE outputs
FRE: Fire Routing Equipment typically used to operate a remote centre communicator.
FPE: Fire protecting Equipment typically used to control fire doors.
NOTE: If ‘disable all outputs’ is selected, weekly test or walk test will still make the sounders operate
Sounder Level Test
This option allows for Db readings to be taken without causing too much disruption to the site occupants.
Selection of the sounder level test mode turn the sounders on for 15 seconds enabling a reading to be taken and then
turn them off for 30 seconds allowing the engineer to move on to the next area.

One Man Walk Test
This function is similar to the weekly test feature, this allows the engineer to test the complete system without having to
continually return to the panel and reset it. Once all devices have been tested the ‘Stop’ button can then be operated.
Test Device
This is not a true test of the device. Individual devices can be identified using this menu. When a device is put into test
the fire Led will illuminate or if the device is a sounder then this will sound.
Following an Autolearn test device can be used to indicate cable routes and in what sequence the panel has
numbered the devices etc. On v3.0 software Next/Previous has been added to enable the user to navigate this
function more easily also the relay of an I/O device will change state.
Disable All Outputs
This function is held within one of the high-level access menus, available from display software version 1.81.01. It is
designed to enable the engineer to carry out a test on the system without activating any sounders or input /output
units.
The function does NOT work when weekly test or walk test is used as well. (The sounders still operate for a
short period).
When all devices are disabled the ‘Sounder Fault / General Disable / Delayed Output’ Led’s will be illuminated with
buzzer on. To exit this function, go to user menu (2214) and ‘Enable All’. To ensure that all devices have been re-
enabled a live test should be carried out.
Auto Learn
This is the process of addressing the devices on the loop. It should be carried out with only the start of the loop
connected to ensure that the loop is addressed in the correct sequence. Once the loop has been addressed then the
return leg can be connected into the panel.
On version software (v 3.0 introduced August 07), Autolearn by loop has been introduced. This allows a second loop
to be learned without having to relearn Loop 1. If a second loop controller is installed then the option to learn loops 3 &
4 individually is displayed.
When the loops are complete then the test menu can be used to verify the status and location of each device against
the ‘as fitted drawings.’
On later releases Pre-Addressed Autolearn has been added. This allows the engineer to Pre-Address the loop devices
in any sequence using a hand held programmer.
Once the system is installed, pre-addressed autolearn only interrogates the devices without renumbering and saves
the device list in memory. If however Autolearn is initiated the devices will be re-numbered and placed into sequence.
This method is particular to a DF 4000 to DF 6000 replacement where MAB 728 adaptor plates are used on the
existing MAB 700 bases. (The adaptor plate does NOT support Autolearn).

Analogue Level
The analogue level reading is used to display the analogue value being sensed by the detector, this value is displayed
in a numeric format and also in a graphical form. This reading is displayed in real time.
On v3.0 software Next/Previous buttons have been added to enable the user to scroll through the addresses more
easily. The min/max values are erased on exiting the menu and resetting the panel.
Printer Settings
When the printer is fitted then there are two options for its operation: Auto and On Request.
When changing between the two, the panel needs to have a hard reset or power down/power up to see the change in
the settings.
If the printer is replaced then a hard reset or power down should also be carried out to recognise the printer.
Programming I/O and Sounders & Sub-Menus
There is a number of sub – menus within this screen.
1. Panel Outputs
The only sounder programming which can be changed on the panel is the sounder tone and the volume, if these
settings are changed then the changes are applied to all the sounders on the system whereas if the settings are
done on the site installer software then it is possible to individually configure the sounder tone and volume for each
sounder.
These controls only apply to loop powered sounders.
There are 3 volume settings: Low, Medium, High;
and 4 tones: Pulsing, Continuous, Two Tone, Slow Whoop
The panel sounder circuits are limited in the way they can be programmed, the three stages available to the loop
sounders are not available for the panel sounders. They should really only be used when the system is a one out all
out configuration, if anything more complex is required then loop sounders are the best option. If conventional
sounders are required they need to be controlled by a sounder control unit.
The zone monitor unit is not included in the quantity of interface units allowed per loop.
The shop unit interface is not included in the quantity of interface units allowed per loop and always requires a
power supply unit. If no power supply is connected then the shop unit interface will show a fault, as it is unable to
monitor the sounder circuits.

2. T1 & T2
Also contained within the above menu are T1 & T2, this feature to enables the user to acknowledge an alarm and
investigate the cause before the building is evacuated. (see figure 3)
T1 time delay is between 10secs and 3 min.
T2 time delay is between 1 – 10 mins.
If T1 is set to a delay this will delay the operation of ALL outputs or FRE only (selected in this menu) until T1 time
expires.
The sounder programming will then revert to the site installer program minus any programmed delays. When T2 is
set and silence alarms are operated before T1 expires, the delay set on T2 will start. When this time expires the
outputs will revert back to the site installer program plus any programmed delays. Both must be set if
either is requried.
Both of these delays can be overridden by the operation of a Callpoint or the input of an I/O. (this is also selectable
within the T1/T2 menu)
if Day/Night mode is selected, the first fire during night mode overrides T1 such that the outputs will revert to site
installer program minus any programmed delays.
When the delays are running during an alarm condition, a countdown timer is displayed on the screen to
indicate time remaining before operation of the outputs.
T1/T2 can also be switched on and off/on using the input side of an I/O or Callpoint programmed to disable devics
within the Site Installer input programming. (see page 13).
If T1/T2 is required on a site where these delays need to be active during certain times and turned off at all other
times, generally a member of staff would need to operate the callpoint or I/O. However, within the T1/T2 menu is a
feature called ‘Auto enable delays’. This feature enables the user to automatically set T1/T2 at the required times as
a backup if the input is missed. (see figure 4)
