8Operative statuses of the Previdia Compact system
Fire detection and extinguishant system
Chapter 2
Operative statuses of the Previdia Compact system
Standby: Operating status of the control panel when there is no ongoing alarm or fault signalling.
This status is altered by the occurrence of an event, that is, an operative status which is characterized by an activation
(when the event occurs) and a reset (when the event ends).
Alarm: Status of the control panel generated by manual activation (for instance, from a call point) or automatic
activation (signal from a detector). This is followed by an alarm signal.
Pre-alarm: This is the status of the control panel during the interval (delay) which runs between the detection of an
alarm condition and the actual signalling of the alarm (delay).
Investigate: This command is activated by a supervisor, during an early-warning condition, it provides an extension of
the early-warning delay and allows the supervisor to verify the cause of the alarm.
Evacuate: This command is activated by a supervisor, during an early-warning condition, it cancels the delay and
instantly activates alarm signalling (evacuation).
Reset: This operator-activated command annuls the current status of the control panel (and the relative signalling and
activations) and resets the system to standby.
This command can be disabled in order to prevent users from activating it by mistake and annulling active signals.
Disable: This command disables part of the system

Chapter 4
Inim Cloud Fire
The INIM Electronics Cloud service of provides Previdia users with a way to
manage their fire alarm control panels via the Internet, added to that is the
possibility to access the control panel screen directly.
The connection of control panels to the Cloud service is achieved via a web
interface (App or any browser) without any need to configure the network in
which the control panel is installed. In particular, it is not necessary to
program a router to perform port-forwarding and the like in order to reach the control panel.
In order to allow use of the Cloud service, the user must have their own account at www.inimcloud.com, registered as
“User”.
After login, the user will have access to a customized web interface which provides all the tools required for supervision
of all the control panels registered by the user.
In order to use the Inim Cloud services, registration must be carried out also by the user (paragraph 4.2).
4.1 User interface, home page
Following is the description of the home page; the presence of each of the following elements described depends on
the activated functions and the page you are accessing:

4.2 Registration of a control panel to the Inim Cloud user account
After creating an Inim Cloud service account, the user can request the registration of a new control panel to those they
have access to via the web interface.
The control that the user wants to register to their account must first be registered to the Cloud service by an installer.
1. Access the Inim Cloud service as a user.
2. Clicking on the button that manages your profile accesses a page where you can set the
parameters of the account and the registered control panels.
In the lower section, below the list of control panels, you have the “New INIM system” section.
3. The Add button will allow you start the registration process. The Cloud service will send an OTP (One Time
Password) number consisting of 6 digits to the user. This number has a limited time duration of 15 minutes.
4. Enter your user code at the control panel you want to register.
Note: In order to be able to register control panels to your Inim Cloud user account, you must have a user
code (level 2) of a “superuser” type or higher.
5. Access the “System Status” section, then “Cloud”, then the “Enroll” option.
6. Enter the OTP password and wait for the registration result.
The result of the procedure will be shown with one of the following messages:
• “Account created!”: the control panel has been successfully registered to the Cloud
• “Communicat.Error”: generic communication error.
The possible causes may be:
- no Internet connection
- date of manufacture of the control panel is before dd/mm/yyyy
- date/time of control panel different, ahead of or behind the exact date/time by more than 15 minutes
• “Already enrolled”: the control panel is already registered to Cloud
• “Bad/expired OTP”: the entered password is incorrect or expired
• “Panel notEnabled”: the control panel cannot be registered to Cloud.

5.1 Viewing active events
If there are any active events, that is, at least one condition worthy of note has been detected in the system and is
currently active, the display stand-by screen (paragraph 3.3) will be replaced by a screen which provides the respective
notification.
The screen will show the active events on the system
grouped in categories. The various categories are
represented by the icons at the top [A] which are enabled
when events occur and show below the number of events
of the currently active type [B].
Touching any one of these buttons allows you to view all
the events in the associated category. The events are listed
in a chronological order [C] and can be scrolled with the
arrow keys.
By selecting with a touch an event generated by a loop
device, you will access the management page of the device
itself (refer to paragraph 6.2 Device management).
Icons for categories for which there are currently no active events do not appear.
After 30 seconds of inactivity the screen will automatically go to the screen containing the category of events with the
highest priority. The priority is shown in the following list:
Priority Icon Category
1 Fire alarm
Signalling associated with fire-alarm conditions.
These indicate potentially dangerous conditions which require maximum attention.
When an alarm occurs, the section below the event buttons [B] shows the pre-alarm
time count in progress and then, alarm over, the summary of information on the
zones in alarm.
2 Gas alarm Signalling associated with gas-detection alarm conditions.
These indicate potentially dangerous conditions which require maximum attention.
3Earlywarning
Signalling triggered by detectors with a threshold below that set for alarms.
Cautionary alert which must be evaluated with attention and verified.
4Supervision
Signalling of the activation of a device that has a control function (supervision) of
another part of the system.
Indicates a risk which may jeopardize the proper operating capacity of the system.
Verify the signalled condition carefully.
5Fault
Signals relating to of faults detected in the system.
They represent risk conditions that may compromise the proper operating capacity of
the system.
Contact your service dealer.
6 Monitor
These are non-alarm or fault signals that can be configured during installation,
normally used to provide indications to the user.
They are signals of minor importance and the level of attention required depends on
the use made of these signals during the system configuration phase.
7Disablements
These signals indicate the disablement of one or more of the system elements.
They Indicate that it is necessary to consider that parts of the system might not be
operative.

5.2 Visualization of the events log
The Log button (paragraph 3.3), accessible at level 1, accesses a section which contains all the events saved to the
system memory.
Each line in the list [D] represents an event which has been saved to the log.
For each event, the event report shows the date and time of its occurrence, the control panel on which it occurred (in
the case of several control panels in a network), the description of the event and other related details. It is possible to
distinguish the event type by the background colour of the line:
• White, indicates events relating to normal operating status
• Red, indicates events relating to alarm status
• Yellow, indicates events relating to fault status
• Blue, event selected by tapping on the screen
In the case of an event generated by a loop device, you access the management page via the device itself (refer to
paragraph 6.2 Device management).
Inim Cloud: This function is available by using the quick viewing buttons (paragraph 4.1 - [C]) or by going to:
Manage System > Events log
8Test
These signals indicate that at least one of the system elements is in test status.
This condition, to be applied during maintenance operations, maintains parts of the
system in non-operative status, therefore, putting the premises in danger as the
protection level of the system is reduced.
