1.4 Operator classification - Access Levels
The control panel has 4 distinct access levels:
Level 1: Public level - this is the normal access level of the control panel and is the access level for building inhabitants
who are neither authorized to use the system nor instructed in its use.
At this level it is possible to view the information on the display and on the signalling LEDs, to interact using the buttons
and the touch screen to scroll through the information. The only operations allowed are:
• mute buzzer
• test signalling LEDs
• activate alarm signalling when an early-warning process is running
Level 2: Authorized users - this access level is for the system supervisors and is for authorized personnel who are
adequately instructed in the use of the system and its functions.
Access requires the use of a key or entry of a valid access code with sufficient access rights. In addition to the operations
described for level 1 it is also possible to carry out the following operations:
• mute alarm signalling devices
• rearm the control panel
• activate alarm signalling devices manually
• disable control panel elements
• place in test status one or more of the system elements
The system provides two additional sub-levels of authorized user:
-Superuser level as for the previous one, with the added possibility of replacing a loop device and registering control
panels to their account with the Inim Cloud service
-Maintenance level as for the previous level, with the possibility to terminate the valve pulse, for models that support
the extinction functions
Level 3: Programming - this access level is for specialized technical operators who carry out system configuration,
commissioning and maintenance.
Access requires entry of a valid access code with sufficient access rights after inserting a jumper which enables
programming. Refer to the manual for system configuration, commissioning and maintenance.
ONLY authorized technicians, appointed by the Manufacturer can, by means of special tools, carry out repair work on
the motherboard.
Level 4: ONLY authorized technicians, appointed by the Manufacturer can, by means of special tools, carry out repair
work on the motherboard.

Configuration manual
Configuration 7
Chapter 2
Configuration
Once the installation and cabling procedures have been completed (refer to the Installation Manual of the Previdia Max
system) the system is ready for first startup.
In the case of first start-up, the selection of the control panel languages is requested, a compulsory main lnaguage and
an optional secondary language (see paragraph 2.10).
The control panel screen will be as follows:
In this condition the control panel has no acquired configuration, all the modules connected to the CAN drive bar or
front plate have the same address and are not included in the configuration.
The configuration status icon on the status bar indicates a fault condition, due to the fact that modules have been
detected but are not present in the configuration saved in the memory.
In order to configure the control panel it is necessary to work through the following procedure:
1. Access programming (paragraph 2.1)
2. Set the IP network address (paragraph 2.2)
3. Access the configuration menu (paragraph 2.3)
4. Assign addresses to the system modules (paragraph 2.4)
5. Enroll loop devices on IFM2L modules and respective troubleshooting procedure (paragraph 2.7)
6. Set the defined configuration (paragraph 2.8)
7. Check eventual signalling and search for faults (paragraph 2.9)
8. Set the date and time (paragraph 2.11)
Note: Once the configuration operations have been completed correctly, the control panel will be ready to
operate.
The control panel is configured to consider each input point (detector, module, terminal) as a fire-alarm
point. Therefore, in the event of a fire alarm it will activate all the outputs available on its loops or
terminals.
At this point it is necessary to proceed with eventual changes to the configuration data for the
distribution of points in zones, edit descriptions of the various system elements, define specific
activation sequences, etc.
Refer to the Programming manual.

4. You access the programming menu, where the following items are
available:
-Configuration
-Network
- Factory data
2.2 Setting the IP network address
If an Ethernet network connection is used, it will be necessary to set up the IP address and parameters of the network.
This operation must be done for anyone of the following devices:
• The Previdia Max control panel, via the main FPMCPU module
• the backup FPMCPU module, via the FPMCPU module itself
• the FPMCPU repeater module, when connected to an Ethernet network, via the FPMCPU module itself
In order to set the network parameters, it is first necessary to access the
programming phase of the control panel (paragraph 2.1) and then tap on the
Network button which appears on the screen.
The network parameters screen will be shown [F].
Beside these there is the Backup panel option [G]. If enabled, the FPMCPU
module you are using will be set as control panel backup CPU unit. In this
case, the network parameters must be the same as the parameters set for
the main FPMCPU module.
Once set, it will be necessary to tap on the Ok button and save the data.
If the module has been set as a backup CPU unit, the message "In backup" will appear on the display
In the same section you have the tools to register the control panel to the installer profile at the Inim Cloud service [H]
(refer to paragraph 2.13 Registration of the control panel to Inim Cloud).
2.3 Accessing the configuration menu
To access the configuration menu it is necessary to first access the programming phase of the control panel (paragraph
2.1) and then tap on the Configure button which appears on the screen.

Selection of one of the cabinets from the control panel layout ([E]) will show it both on the left ([A]), where the installed
IFM modules with their addresses and firmware revision are shown, and on the right ([F]), where the installed FPM
external modules are shown. From this section you can access the configuration phase of each module by tapping on
the icon which represents it.
2.4 Addressing IFM and FPM modules
In order for the control panel to identify each module individually, it is
necessary to assign an address to each one. It is possible to assign the same
address to modules of different types, however, modules of the same type
must have different addresses.
To assign an address to a module, it is necessary to tap on the module
shown in the section it belongs to (internal IFM modules on the left [A]; FPM
front-plate modules on the right [F]).
A window will open ([H]), select the desired address in the programming
field, then tap on Set.
Note: Addresses which exceed the maximum number of modules supported by the control panel will not be
considered valid.

Fire detection and extinguishant system
Due to the fact that each FPMEXT front plate module is associated automatically with 5 internal IFMEXT modules at
precise addresses, the FPMEXT modules must have an address which respects the IFMEXT - FPMEXT module association
table which follows:
On returning to the control-panel configuration section, the assigned address ([D]) will be shown at the side of the
previously selected internal module.
2.5 Setting the Hornet+ network address (IFMNET)
If the installation has control panels connected in a Hornet+ network, it will be necessary to assign the network address
to each control panel.
Select the IFMNET module in the section on the left containing the internal layout of the cabinet ([A]). In the section
which appears, enter the network address and the bit rate.
Note: Each control panel in the same Hornet+ network must be set with the same bit rate and univocal
address.
2.6 Addressing the repeaters
The procedure to configure the FPMCPU modules as repeaters depends on the type of connection between the
modules and the control panel.
Connection via Ethernet network
The Ethernet connection needs network parameters setting. The procedure must be done via the display of the module
itself, following the indications described in the paragraph 2.2 Setting the IP network address.
Connection via RS485 BUS
The BUS connection needs the addressing of any repeater in configuration,
in order for the control panel to identify each module individually.
To assign an address to a repeater, it is necessary to enter the configuration
procedure starting from the display of the module itself, as described in the
paragraph 2.3.
A window will open, select the desired address in the programming field,
then tap on Set. The available addresses are from 1 to 14.

2.13 Registration of the control panel to Inim Cloud
The registration of a control panel is an operation that allows its accessibility to all Inim Cloud service users. It is therefore
necessary that the registration is carried out first by the installer, registered with the Inim Cloud service, so that later users
can add the already registered control panel to their own account.
1. Access the programming phase of the control panel (paragraph 2.1) and then press the Network button on the
menu that appears on the screen.
2. Enable the "Cloud enabled" option.
3. Access the "Enroll” section via the button that appears below.
4. Enter the 8-digit ID-installer number contained in the confirmation email received during registration to the Cloud as
an installer.
In this section you can activate the "Installer Property" option. If activated, the installer reserves the management of
accesses to the system by the Cloud. If not activated, this property is assigned to the first user enrolled
5. Press the Register button. The control panel will carry out the registration of the control panel on the Cloud and the
display will show the "WAIT" message.
If the control panel date/time differs by more than 15 minutes from the exact date/time, the registration process may
result negative.
6. The screen will show the outcome of the procedure via one of the following messages:
• “Account created!”: the control panel has been successfully registered to Cloud
• “Communicat.Error”: generic communication error.
The possible causes may be:
- no Internet connection
- date of manufacture of the control panel is earlier than 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
• “Panel notEnabled”: the control panel cannot be registered to Cloud.

16 Commissioning
Fire detection and extinguishant system
Chapter 3
Commissioning
The commissioning phase is a set of tests and inspections which are necessary to ensure the full efficiency and proper
functioning of the system as specified in the system project. This phase is essential and must be performed in a
scrupulous way in accordance the regulatory requirements of the country where the system is installed and in full
respect of the recommendations in the following section.
Ensure the test and inspection procedures are performed only after checking the safety of the system and after having
verified that any device activations controlled by the system will not cause any conditions of danger, and that all the
building occupants who can be reached by the audible and visual signalling have been informed.
Ensure that the person who is responsible for the security of the building where the tests and inspections are to be
carried out has taken countermeasures to avoid any situations of panic or distress for the building occupants.
3.1 Testing the Control panel
It is necessary to check the functionality status of the frontplate by first checking the information supplied on the screen
and LEDs and then by inspecting the efficiency of the command devices (user-interface buttons, access keys, etc.):
• Check the functionality status of the screen and ensure that the information provided is clear.
• Ensure that the descriptions of the various zones, points and system elements entered during the data-entry phase are
correct, and that the information provided on the screen clearly indicates any detectable conditions of danger.
• Check that there are no indications present of faults, alarms or anomalies of any type whatsoever. In the event of such
indications, proceed with the removal of the causes of faults and anomalies.
• Check the status the functionality of the LEDs and buzzer. The front panel provides a button for the simultaneous
activation of all the LEDs and buzzer thus allowing evaluation of their efficiency (refer to the description of the User
Interface).
• Check the efficiency of the front-plate buttons and keys.
• Check the status of the power-supply sources (mains and batteries) and the consumption conditions of the control
panel. The power-supply parameters can be checked by accessing the configuration menu (refer to paragraph 2.3
Accessing the configuration menu) and selecting the configured IFM24160 modules.

3.2 Testing to detectors and manual activations
All the installed detectors must be tested during the commissioning phase. It is necessary to check the capacity of each
detector to react to a simulated condition of fire, and to check the precision of the signals transmitted to the control
panel in response to its activation (description of the point and zone).
For this purpose it is possible to use the Test button of the control panel ([A])
on the “Zone status” screen, accessible via the “System status” menu on the
home page.
By tapping this button it is possible to place one or more zones in test status.
The activation of a detector which belongs to a zone in test status will not
generate any alarm signalling or activate the outputs or signalling devices.
However, the control panel will activate the signalling LEDs on the detectors
and will perform automatic reset after a few seconds without any need of
further intervention by the operator on the control panel.
The activation of a point which belongs to a zone in test status will be recorded in the events log. Therefore, on
completion of the test on all the zone devices, the operator can check the congruence of the various indications by
means of the log.
The activation of all the manual call points (alarm buttons) must be tested in the same way as described for the detectors.
3.3 Testing signalling and activations
The functionality and efficiency of all the signalling devices must be checked
thoroughly.
It is possible to test such devices by activating the relative LEDs and outputs
manually at the control panel via the respective management page ([B]).
To reach this page you must access the “Points” section via the “System
status” menu on the homepage. Select the desired loop and point to be
tested from the lists shown then, by means of the relative View buttons go
to the management screen where you will find the Turn On output and Turn
On LED buttons.
Note: Testing devices by means of manual activation does not test functionality and efficiency of the cause/
effect association which determines their activation (programming coherence of groups), therefore, it is
necessary to perform real functionality tests.
3.4 Testing the extinction system
Particular attention must be paid to the testing of eventual fire extinction systems.
Special attention must be paid to the functionality and safety of the extinguishing-agent release devices before
proceeding with the testing of all activation and stop-extinction procedures in accordance with the requirements of the
executive project.
3.5 Maximum time settings. Normative restrictions
During programming via the Previdia/STUDIO software you can set the time length or delay of many control panel
functions. The normative reference standards require maximum duration for the following parameters:
•Prealarm time, the maximum delay time is 10min (EN 54-2 - clause 7.11.1 (c)).
•Verification time OFF (s), if the verification function is enabled for an input device, the time for which the device
remains deactivated after the first activation must be 60 seconds maximum (EN 54-2 - clause 7.12.1 [b]).
•Verification time (s), if an input device has the alarm verification option enabled, the maximum verification time is 30
minutes (EN 54-2 - clause 7.12.1 [c]).
•Lock reset time after released (min), the maximum time is 30 minutes (EN 12094-1:2003 - clause 4.12.2).
•Pre-extinction time on automatic/manual activation, the maximum time is 60 seconds (EN 12094-1:2003 - clause
4.17.2).
•Valve ON time, the maximum time is 300 seconds (EN 12094-1:2003 - clause 4.21).
Refer to the Previdia/STUDIO software programming manual for more details about the parameters listed above.

For correct and efficient management of the system it is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance in accordance
with the regulatory requirements of the country where the system is installed and in full respect of the recommendations
contained in this section.
For the frequency of the maintenance operations it is necessary to adhere to the applicable regulations. However, the
manufacturer recommends that tests are performed on each point, component and element of the system at least once
a year.
4.1 Testing the control panel
Work through the steps for control-panel test procedure as described in the commissioning section (paragraph 3.1
Testing the Control panel).
Additionally, consult the events log and check for the presence of fault or alarm conditions which must be investigated.
4.2 Testing the detectors
As well as the tests which must be performed during the commissioning phase (paragraph 3.2 Testing to detectors and
manual activations), it is also necessary to check the contamination level in smoke detectors.
The management and configuration software provides a loop diagnostic function which allows you to gather the
contamination values of the various devices in such a way to decide when cleaning is necessary.
Refer to the Programming manual for details regarding the diagnostic function and the detector manual for the
instructions regarding cleaning operations.
4.3 Manual activation test
Work through the same tests as recommended in the commissioning section (paragraph 3.2 Testing to detectors and
manual activations).
4.4 Testing signalling and activations
Work through the same tests as indicated in the commissioning section (paragraph 3.3 Testing signalling and activations).
