5.3.2 Configure Properties for an Alarm Zone
To configure properties for an alarm zone, it is assumed that fire
alarm devices (FADs) have already been connected to an alarm
zone (the menu selection Fire Alarm Device).
From the Alarm Zones Menu (5.3.1), perform the following:
After selecting the alarm zone in question by means of the arrow
down/up buttons, press Enter twice.
Type a new Name, or accept the existing one by pressing the
arrow down button.
Press Enter.
Use the left or right arrow button to select a Parent Alarm Zone,
then press Enter.
Use the right or left arrow buttons to choose whether you want
Immediate Activation or not (YES/NO), then press Enter.
To confirm the setting, press Enter once more.
* Parent Alarm Zone (default alarm zone):
The top-level Alarm Zone is called the Parent Alarm Zone. A system
consists of a Parent Alarm Zone, usually with several “sub-level”
alarm zones in an hierarchy.
Each “sub level”-alarm zone is related to a specific area of, for
example, a building.
If an alarm occurs in a Parent Alarm Zone, all Fire Alarm Devices
(FADs) within the Parent Alarm Zone, plus all FADs belonging to all
“sub-level”-alarm zones will be activated.
5.3.3 Connect to Neighbour Alarm Zone
This menu allows you to define a neighbour alarm zone for a
selected alarm zone, or define the neighbourhood relation between
alarm zones.
From the Alarm Zones Menu (5.3.1), perform the following:
After pressing the Function button for a selected alarm zone,
select Connect to Neighbour Alarm Zone (the first menu
selection), then press Enter.
From the list of alarm zones, select an alarm zone that is to be
defined as a neighbour alarm zone, then press Enter.
To confirm the setting, press Enter once more.
If you want to define another alarms zone as neighbour alarm
zone
to the selected alarm zone, repeat the procedure above.
