buttons and the touch screen to scroll through the information. Level 1 allows the following operations only:
• 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
• bypass and activate objects which require this specific level.
The system provides two additional sub-levels of authorized user:
-Superuser level, las for the previous one, with the added possibility of registering control panels to their account
with the Inim Cloud service
-Maintenance operator level, same as the previous level with the added possibility of stopping the valve pulse for
those models that support extinction functions

8Operative statuses of the Previdia Micro system
Fire alarm and extinguishing system
Chapter 2
Operative statuses of the Previdia Micro 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

Fire alarm and extinguishing system
Chapter 4
Inim Cloud Fire
The Cloud service provided by INIM Electronics offers Previdia users a way to
manage their fire alarm control panels via the Internet, in addition to that
already possible via direct access to the control panel display.
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 on
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 use 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 access Inim Cloud services as a user, registration must be carried out also by the user (paragraph 4.2).

4.2 Registration of a control panel to the Inim Cloud user account
After logging in to the relevant Inim Cloud service user account, a user can request the registration of a new control
panel in addition to those the user can access via the web interface.
The control panel that a 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. By clicking on the profile management button, you access 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) and a “superuser” code, or higher.
