1.5.11 External Systems Menu
This menu has options to configure Virtual
Points; these exist in an external system (e.g.
a Voice Alarm Panel). Virtual Points
communicate with the Fire Alarm Panel via
an RS232 link (i.e. not via the loops) and are
used as inputs or outputs to the Control Matrix.
There are two types:
a. Virtual Input Points (VIPs) - A maximum
of 64 can be configured.
b. Virtual Output Points (VOPs). A maximum
of 512 can be configured.
To configure a VIP or VOP:
i From the External Systems Menu, select
‘Virtual Input Points’ or ‘Virtual Output
Points’.
ii Name the Point (maximum 32 characters).
iii Allocate a zone number. VIPs and VOPs
must be in a zone before they are
recognised by the Control Matrix. There is
no limit to the number of VIPs and VOPs
that can exist in a zone. However, in VdS
mode they cannot be placed in the same
zone as sensors or MCPs (DKMs) and they
do not have reference numbers.
Note: Zone descriptions are not editable here;
refer to Section 1.5.9.
iv VOPs: select the type (BELL or CTRL) and
the mode (Silenceable or Non-silenceable).
The VOP will be included in Control Matrix
rules using the chosen type. VIPs: select type
(Alarm or Aux). The VIP will be displayed on
the appropriate tab on the panel.
