THE SYSTEM
Block diagram of the device’s screen forms accessible for a User is given in
figure A.1 (see Annex A). All the commands of the main menu item
“5.Settings” are accessible only for Administraor.
User can operate with a zone (channel) only if this zone (channel)
is included in the given User’s section (see HOW TO VIEW A
SECTION).
• User can view a list of zones иchannels, included in a certain User’s sec-
tion (see HOW TO VIEW A SECTION). Only Administrator can edit the list of
zones and channels included in the section.
• User can arm all zones covered by security detectors and switch on all ac-
tive channels included in a certain User section (see HOW TO ARM A
SECTION).
• User can disarm all zones covered by security detectors and switch off all
active channels included in a certain User section (see HOW TO DISARM A
SECTION).
Zones covered by fire detectors and manual fire detectors
(MFD) can not be armed or disarmed by sections. It is recognized
that fire detectors must be always switched on! If necessary, each
of these zones can be disarmed and, then, be armed individually
(see HOW TO ARM A ZONE / DISARM A ZONE).
• User can arm a zone and disarm it (see HOW TO ARM A ZONE /DISARM
A ZONE). If a zone is set under security and detectors actuate in the zone,
a message on the alarm event is displayed in the second line of the screen
of the device being in the standby mode.
• User can make a channel active/non-active (see HOW TO MAKE A CHANNEL
ACTIVE / INACTIVE). If the channel is active, an executive unit connected to
this channel can be switched on or switched off (see HOW TO SWITCH ON /
SWITCH OFF A CONTROL CHANNEL).
• User can switch on/switch off zone or channel control (see HOW TO SWITCH
ON / SWITCH OFF ZONE OR CHANNEL CONTROL). If a zone (channel) con-
trol is switched on, information on this zone (channel) is displayed in the
third line of the screen of the device being in the standby mode.If a failure
occurs in a zone with control switched on (even if the zone is removed from
security), the System receives an alarm signal and the corresponding mes-
sage is displayed in the second line of the screen of the device being in the
standby mode.

• User can view a list of zones set under security and active channels in-
cluded in his section (see HOW TO VIEW A LIST OF ARMED ZONES AND
ACTIVE CHANNELS).
• User can view a list of zones and channels united in groups of his section
(see HOW TO VIEW A LIST OF SECTION GROUPS). If zones of the group are
set under security, and the group’s channels are active and detectors actu-
ate in these zones, all the group channels are switched on automatically.
Only Administrator can change group content.
• If an alarm event or a failure occurs in a zone set under security, the Sys-
tem receives an alarm signal. Alarm status can be caused by actuation of
an detector, loop short circuit, commutation line breakdown or an attempt to
open a unit case. Information on the alarm event is displayed in the second
line of the screen of the device being in the standby mode. User can switch
off all the channels of the alarm zone group and remove an alarm status
message from the screen (see HOW TO CANCEL AN ALARM.)

ously, but if line breakdown or short circuit occurs, an intermittent
signal is given out.

extinguisher), if the device control channel is included in the User’s section
(see HOW TO SWITCH ON / SWITCH OFF A CONTROL CHANNEL).
Executive unit can be switched on/switched off only if the device
control channel is active (see HOW TO MAKE A CHANNEL ACTIVE /
INACTIVE).
