Do not try to use the control unit and devices connected without reading this manual
DETECTION SYSTEM LIMITS
An alarm or fire detection system can be very useful for the prompt warning of any dangerous
event
such as fire. In some cases it can automatically manage events (transmission of messages
for room evacuation, automatic fire-extinguishing, TVCC system interface, access route or
door blockage, automatic warning to authorities, etc.), but in any case, it does not ensure
protection against damages to propriety).
Moreover, each system may not properly operate if it is not installed and maintained
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
It is assumed that the user of this manual has performed a training
course and that he knows the applicable rules in force.
The system and all its components must be installed in an
environment having the following features:
Temperature: -5 °C ¸ +40 °C.
Humidity: 10 % - 93 % (without condensation).
Peripheral devices (sensors, etc.) which are not perfectly compatible
with the control unit may cause damages to the same control unit,
and a bad operation of the system in any moment. Therefore, it is
essential to only use material which is guaranteed by NOTIFIER and
is compatible with its own control units.
Please consult NOTIFIER Technical Service for an
y
doubt.

DEFINITIONS
LINE: Physical wiring where sensors, addressable Manual Call Points, Sirens, addressable input and
output modules are connected.
POINTS: they are the addressable sensors and modules that can be connected to Lines.
ZONES: they are point groups.
Used as basic indications as stated in EN 54.2 to identify the position of an event.
The maximum number of zones is: 500.
A maximum of 32 points can be associated to each zone.
GROUPS: A group is a software set of devices that can be used to program associations between
Inputs and Outputs and perform actions triggered by input or alarm events.
The control unit is provided with 400 groups.

EVACUATION:
You must know the level 2 password to perform this operation..
Control for the activation of the Siren output and of all output modules programmed with SW-TYPE ID = HORN in absence
of Alarms and Faults. If you press this button once more all the previously activated outputs will be deactivated.
END DELAY:
This button is active only in case of alarm if the immediate activation of the siren outputs in the exclusions menu has been
excluded. The control unit delays the activation of the above-mentioned outputs for the programmed times in the
programmed menu. ( Prog\ Sist\Al. Output Timing ). During the delay time the Active Delay led flashes and it is possible to
re-set the current delay through the Delay Re-set key.
SILENCE ALARM / FAULT:
by pressing this key, the operator can silence the Panel buzzer and is enabled to perform a RESET.
SILENCE / RESOUND SIREN:
You must know the level 2 password to perform this operation..
In case of alarm the following devices are activated: Siren Output, Output modules programmed with SW-Type-ID=HORN ,
the output modules activated for CBE associations
By pressing this key, you can de-activate the following devices:
Siren Output
Output modules programmed through Type-ID HORN enabled for silencing
All output modules activated through CBE associations and enabled for silencing
A subsequent pressure of this key will re-activate :
Siren Output
Output modules programmed through Type-ID HORN
All the output modules de-activated from the previous Silencing
RESET:
the pressure of this key deletes the alarm or fault memory of the current points.
It de-activates the siren and turns off all light signalling of sensors in alarm.
To perform this operation you must know the level 2 password..
FUNCTION KEYS in LCD TOUCH SCREEN:
These keys are displayed in the bottom of the LCD screen.
Activate the corresponding functions. These functions change according to
the selected menus.
Example: in the system status display, these keys allow the access to the
Programming, Utilities, Exclusion menus or the Test menu.
Keys to be used: DURING THE PROGRAMMING or TO ENTER THE PASSWORDS
ARROWS: they are used to perform some selections.
NOTE: pressing and holding one of these keys for more than 1 second, you obtain the key automatic
repetition.
ENTER:after performing a selection, it confirms the entered datum.
ESCAPE:“Back”, it has the menu exit function

RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE TO PERFORM THE CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING
The following operation sequence is recommended to perform the initial programming of the control unit, to
prevent mistakes and consequent loss of time.
The details of each operation are pointed out in the following pages.
- Perform the wiring of the control unit lines and perform the appropriate tests as described in the
installation manual before powering the control unit.
- Make some photo-copies of the programming sheet that can be found at the end of this manual and
record on these sheets the necessary information for ALL sensors, modules, software zones, CBE and
groups.
From the Programming menu select the “System” menu.
Select the “Line” item and program the type of connection which has been performed on the installed
lines ( open line or closed loop ).
From the Programming menu select Point Programming
Select the Auto-Learn item, and press the enter key and subsequently enter the number of lines for
which the procedure must be started.
Through this operation all the devices installed on the lines are recognized and loaded in the control unit
memory according to their Hardware TYPE ID and with the default data.
At the end of the procedure check that the devices detected by the control unit during the Auto-
Learn are those really installed, and confirm.
This will record all data in the Panel memory.
In any case user can edit and modify the recorded data in case it needs.
From the Point Programming menu select “Detectors”
Associate the detector with the appropriate zone
Program the detector CBE ( Control by Event action).
From the Point Programming menu select the “Modules” item
Program the Software Type-ID (if it is different from the default value assigned )
Associate the module with the appropriate zone
Program the module CBE ( Control by Event action).
At the end of this programming steps the control unit is ready to manage the Alarm system
Additional details can be added to the mentioned, as for example a text description for each
detector, module or zone.
For further information or specific parameters description see the following paragraphs.
