enables the function to allow the panel to be programmed by a PC.
•Press 1 to select the CONFIGURE option.
The CONFIGURE option and all sub menu options require the Memory Lock to be open.
•The display then shows a menu of options as follows:
CONFIGURE : Loop 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) [1]
6)Peripherals 7) Sounders 8)Relays 9)PC
•NOTE: The menu will only show the number of signaling loops programmed during setup (Refer to the Setup
Option. The ZXa can only have two loops maximum.
5.2 Signaling Loops
•After selecting a loop from the configure menu, the display will present a list of options as follows:
CONFIGURE : Loop 1) 1)Zones [1]
2)Devices 3)Auto Learn 4)Calibrate
The top left-hand corner of the display provides a reminder that panel is in configure mode
with loop 1 selected.
•Select the required option by pressing the appropriate numeric key.
•When commissioning a new panel, start by performing an “Auto Learn”. This will cause the panel to search for all
devices installed on the loop.

5.2.1 Auto Learn
•This facility saves considerable time and effort when installing a system, or when changing sensor configuration.
It allows the system to learn for itself what devices have been installed on a particular loop.
•Press 3from the configure menu to select "Auto "Learn". The display will respond with the message :-
Auto Learn finds ALL device addresses
and types on loop 1. Shall I do this ?
•To proceed with "Auto Learn", press theYES key. The system will confirm your command with the message
"Program Running" on the display. It may take up to half a minute to learn a complete loop. Each possible sensor
address is checked to see if any detector is installed at that address. If a detector has been installed, the panel
determines the type of the detector. If more than one detector is located at a single address, or the detector type
code is invalid, a warning message will appear on the display.
•Do not press any key until the display changes from the “program running” message.
•Once the system has finished learning, it will respond with a display giving a summary of the detectors found on
the loop. For example.
Ion Opto Temp Sounder MCP Zone-Mon Other
37 24 2 8 14 2 3
•This display should be checked, against the installation sheets, to ensure that the system has found the correct
number of devices.
•Pressing any key then restores the display to the normal commissioning menu.
•The Auto Learn sequence should be repeated for each loop on the system. It can be used as many times as
required and does not affect the text description used to describe the location of each sensor.
Always verify that the system has found all devices correctly. Use the "Devices" option to
obtain detailed information on the device type and to see the address of each device found
on the loop.
5.2.2 Zones
•The system can be divided into 20, 40 or 80 "zones" for the ZXe panel & 20 “zones” for the ZXa panel. Each
zone may contain one or more devices. The zone assignment option allows the commissioning engineer to
quickly assign the sensors to the appropriate zone. It defaults so that all devices are in zone 1.
•Press 1from the configure menu to select the “zones” option. The display will then show:
All devices on Loop 01 from address
[001] to address [126] are in zone [01]
•This display shows several pieces of information. To avoid ambiguity as to what can be modified, the display will
flash the item that can be changed. If you want to change it, then simply type the new value over the top. For
example:
•The "from address" number (i.e. 001) will be flashing to show this item can be changed, if required. To make this
address 24, enter "024”. The display will then show the new zonal range as :-

COMMISSIONING MANUAL
Page 14 Document No.996-071, Revision: 1, Aug 99
All devices on Loop 01 from address
[024] to address [126] are in zone [01]
•The ">" & "<" keys can be used to move across the display. For example, if the ‘126’ in the "to address" field is
flashing, then the ‘zone’ field can be modified by pressing the">" key to make the zone number flash and then
entering the desired value.
•The backspace"<" key also moves back one digit - useful for correcting errors when entering numbers.
•The configuration shown on the display becomes effective immediately after the "Enter" or "Yes" key is pressed.
Pressing the "No" key will abort the operation and return to the commissioning menu.
•If the "to address" value is less than 126, the "Yes" or "Enter" key automatically advances to the next zone to be
defined.
•When all of the devices for the loop being configured are assigned to zones, then the program will advance to the
zone description - text entry menu.
•Each zone can have a description assigned to it to identify the area covered by the zone. This description will
appear on the liquid crystal display if a fault or fire is detected by any sensor in the zone.
Zone 01 is named = “SOUTH ANNEXE “
•The description can be amended by highlighting the location text (using the‘>‘ and ‘<‘ keys), pressing "Change"
and entering either, letters, numbers or keywords. This procedure is identical to that used for editing the sensor
location text described in section5.2.3.2 below.
5.2.3 Devices
•The "Devices" option from the display gives information on the various types of device fitted on a loop.
•Press 2 to select the "Devices" option. The system will ask which address you want to start at :-
Begin inspection at address number 1 ?
•If you would like to start at a different address, then press the "Change" key and enter your required address,
otherwise say "Yes" to continue.
•The display then gives detailed information about the Device at the chosen address.

5.2.3.1 Changing Device Information
•Changes are made by first pressing the "Change" key. A menu of items that can be changed will appear
according to the type of device, For example.
•An ionization smoke detector will allow changes on :-
1)Sensor Text 2)Zone 3)Event
4)Alarm thresholds 7)Group
•A call-point will allow changes on :-
1)Sensor Text 2)Zone 3)Event
6)Action 7)Group
•Press the appropriatenumber to select the required option. Press ‘No’ to return to the device information display.
•NOTE: This change facility is only available while in the configure mode. It cannot be invoked from the INSPECT
option, thus preventing inadvertent changes to the system.
5.2.3.2 Location Text
•To enter or modify the location text assigned to a device, press1to select the "Sensor Text" option. The display
will show the current location text and provide additional information to assist in making any changes.
•Three modes of text entry are available - "KeyWords", "Numbers" and "Letters". The mode currently in use is
always shown in square brackets in the top right hand corner of the display. The required mode is selected by
pressing either theYes (Keyword) button or theNo (Letters/Numbers) button.
