Commissioning Tool


Commissioning ToolThe Commissioning tool is used to configure an analogue addressable system. This user guide covers allthe features of the Commissioning tool software version 1.30.

The tool allows retrieval of system data from an analogue addressable fire panel for the purpose ofconfiguration. Once configured the data is transmitted back to the panel from the tool to allow the system tooperate to site specific requirements.

Compatibility

The Commissioning tool V1.30 or higher is compatible with most analogue addressable EN and BS Controlpanel based fire detection and alarm systems.

Using this tool you can configure a:

� Vigilon Compact (networkable) panel EN (V4)

� Vigilon Compact VA (networkable) panel EN (V4)

� Vigilon (4/6-loop) panels EN (V4) and BS (V3+)

� System 34000 BS (V3) and BS (V3+)

� System 3400 BS (V3) and BS (V3+)

� SenTRI 2 Loop panel EN (V4)

� SenTRI 4-Loop panel EN (V4)

� Senator Advance system EN (V4)

� CP2 panel EN (V4)

� CP4 panel EN (V4)

Preparation

It is essential to have the following to facilitate commissioning of a fire alarm system:

� Commissioning tool installed on your laptop

� leads to connect the Commissioning tool to the control panel, printer and mains supply.- Printer is used to print labels and configuration data for reference

� as fitted wiring drawings - showing devices associated with loop circuits

� customer agreed labels to identify areas in the protected premises

� customer agreed operation of fire alarms

� configuration information - customer agreed site specific fire plan

� Before connecting the Commissioning tool to the fire control panel to retrieve the system configuration, it isimportant to ensure all loops have been fully allocated and there are no faults present on the loop circuits.

Commissioning tool software installation

The Commissioning tool software and associated USB driver can be downloaded from the respectivewebsite www.gentexpert.co.uk or www.smstoolbox.co.uk, which is accessible to registered users.

The Commissioning tool and USB driver must be installed on your laptop before you can retrieve, configureand transmit the system configuration back to the control panel.

If however there is an existing Commissioning tool already installed on your laptop then this must first beremoved using uninstall feature located under Windows START -> Control panel -> Programs and Features.

This tool is only supported on Windows XP Professional, Windows 7 Business Edition & Windows 8Business Edition. Once the Commissioning tool setup file is downloaded and unzipped, dependant on youroperating system select the 32 bit or 64 bit folder then click on the setup files to install.

How to find the Node and Domain addressesBefore the first retrieval of system data from the control panel you need to enter at the Commissioning toolthe panel node and domain addresses.

You can find the node and domain addresses set at the control panel by viewing the card status of the MainController card. At the control panel:

Press Menu On/Off button -> [Info] -> <etc> -> [Usercode] -> [Status] -> [Card] -> enter ‘0’ to view thestatus of the Main Controller Card, the display will show:

� It is important to check and ensure the domain and nodes addresses that are set using the switches areconsistent with those displayed at the panel.

Domain address

By switchesA bridged network has the Domain Address set via DIL switch on the Domain Bridge IO card installed inthe Control panel or Network (Terminal) node on the network. At an EN54 4/6 loop panel the domainaddress is set using the dual-in-line switch pack on the DKC, located on the inside of the inner door. Theseswitches at a BS 4-Loop panel set the node address.

By panel menusThe control panel has its Domain address set via menu options and is held on the Master Controller,Card 0.

Node address

By switchesThe Node address is the address of the Control panel or Network (Terminal) node, which is default to 1 andcan be adjusted to another setting at the network card.

By panel menusThe node address can be set using the menu options at a panel and this address is stored on the MainController.

How to determine the USB Comm. port numberThe Commissioning tool will need to know the port address being used by the laptop to communicate withthe control panel. It is assumed the USB driver is already installed, it is bundled with the Commissioning tooland is available from the Start menu on the laptop after installation of the Commissioning Tool.

The Commissioning tool can be downloaded from www.gentexpert.co.uk or www.smstoolbox.co.ukwebsites.

To find the port address being used:

Long labels having up to 64 characters can be given to devices, zones and command builds. This isachieved by replacement of commonly used words with token values (special codes). Tokenised labels:When tokens are decoded, a trailing space is automatically added to the decoded word. Likewise when alabel is being tokenised, the word must have a space following it, or be at the end of a line. Therefore a tokenword cannot be followed with a comma, dash or other such character.

In the Tone mode you can selectfrom a range of high and lowfrequency tones, these can bethe panel defined standard tonesor the complex tones held in thevoice chip at the device. Theduration of the high and lowfrequency tones are determinedby the FAB/SAB setting at thepanel.

In the Voice mode you canselect the required attentiontone and the voice message.The attention tone can be thepanel defined standard tone or acomplex tone held in the voicechip at the device. The voice chipinside the S3 device carries thevoice messages.

ExampleIf a customer wants sector 1 signal 1 to output an intermittent bell attention tone followed by an alertmessage, then you should right click on Sector 1 Signal 1 box, configure it for voice mode and select theAttention tone - Tone 1 (which is a bell tone) and message - Message 2 (which is the alert message). Thisexample assumes there is a standard voice chip 2202-001 fitted in the S3 device.

Mode settings notes

Output Output type The Sectored output is used to power a wide range of alarmproducts such as sounders, bells door holders and relay. Aseries blocking diode must be used.

The LED output drive of 1.5mA is available.

The Unmonitored sector output has no end-of-line resistor orseries diode. Unmonitored sector lines will have no associatedanalogue channels.

The Door release category A option is used for controlling doorrelease mechanisms that need to meet the requirement ofBS7273 Part 4. With Category A the outputs are operated (doorsreleased) from fire, fault and disablement events.

The Door release category B option is used for controlling doorrelease mechanisms that need to meet the requirement ofBS7273 Part 4. With Category B the outputs are operated (doorsreleased) from fire events.

Sync. pulse The outputs sends a synchronisation pulse every 10s, theoutput is turned off for a short duration. The duration can beprogrammed to be approximately 10, 20 or 30ms forcompatibility with a wide range of annunciation devices thatrequire synchronisation such as strobes (VADs), sounders andvoice sounders.

Failsafe When 'On' it allows the setting of Fail safe periods for all Mainspowered interface outputs, where outputs are used for fire doorscontrol applications. When set to 'On' the Initial fail safe perioddefaults to 120s and the Final fail safe period defaults todisabled. See page 87.

Mains failure To preserve battery capacity for essential functions it is possibleto configure individual outputs to deactivate 'Turn Off' during amains power failure.

Output normally This is when a sectored output is configured to work in aninverse manner. An 'On' setting will cause the output to turn'OFF'. Note that in this mode sector wiring is effectivelyunmonitored, it is only monitored when the output isde-energised. This feature may be used with equipment such asmagnetic door holders to ensure the fire door will release once afire has been detected.

Fail Safe period settings

The fail safe periods are associated with the all the Mains powered interface units in a standalone systemwhere Outputs are configured for Door release Category A applications ONLY, see page 77.

Mode settings notes

Initial fail safeperiod (seconds)

If there is a fault preventing detection of fire, disablement of firedetection or other conditions preventing fire detectionoperation, like supply failure, then the Outputs will turn 'On' (iedoors released) after an initial fail safe period of 120s(default).

Final fail safeperiod (minutes)

If there are three fail safe conditions that occur within a periodset here then the Outputs are latched 'On' (ie doors released)and can only be reset by powering down the interface and thenpowering it up again. This final fail safe period can bedisabled by selecting the 'Disabled' setting, which is a defaultsetting.

Important

When devices have been SAFEaddressed you must then sendthe configuration to the panel.This is because some of theconfiguration data includingsector associations is linked tothe device address.

The sequence should be:

1. SAFE address the devicesusing 'Make SAFE', note theloops will automatically bere-allocated at the panel.

2. Send the configuration to thepanel.

� The insertion or deletion ofdevices is not permitted using theCommissioning tool where a loop has one ormore 'sub loop' off a 'main loop' circuit. Oneway to achieve this is to ensure the devicesare physically inserted or removed from theloop circuit and made SAFE at the controlpanel. Another way is to 'Manual Address'

device. Note also Plexus Devices areassociated or disassociated with an LRTusing the Plexus tool. For both 'sub loop'and Plexus devices the loop will needreallocating before the Commissioning toolis used to retrieve the changed system.

� Prior to using the 'Make SAFE'command ensure the Commissioning tool isconnected to the control panel.

Where SAFE addresses given to deviceshave changed at the Commissioning tool,the transmission of configuration and labelscan only take place following Make SAFE.This is done to ensure the loop map in theCommissioning tool is identical to that on thecontrol panel.

Appendix ALabelsLabels are primarily used to describe the location of installed system products or a collection of systemproducts for display at the control and indicating equipment.

This function allows descriptive location of a fire or event to be displayed at the control and indicatingequipment.

What can be labelled?

A label may be given to each of the following products or functions of the fire alarm system, a maximum ofup to 64 characters tokenised label can be given to devices on a loop circuit:

� Fire Sensor such as an S-Quad (SENTRI) with VAD pt23 device that is used for automatic detection offire can be given a location label of up to 32 characters in length.

� Manual call point which is a break glass unit used for manual activation of fire can given a location labelof up to 28 character in length, with an automatic prefix ‘MCP;’ inserted before the label.

� Each Input/Output channel of a fire interface unit having conventional detectors or switched input canbe given a location label of up to 32 characters in length. An Interface input channel that has MCPsattached should only have a label of up to 28 characters in length.

� Alarm device such as an addressable S-Cubed device can be given a location label of up to32 characters in length.

� Control panel which is the main control and indicating equipment can be given a location label of up to32 characters in length. The panel label is used for display of events on a Central monitoring system.

� Zone is primarily used in an EN54 system and is a sub division of the protected building as defined in ENstandards that can be given a location label of up to 32 characters in length. Fires generated by MCPs inthe zone will have an automatic prefixed ‘MCP;’, which limits the length of label to 28 characters only.

� Group is primarily used in a BS system and is a sub division of a protected building that can have alocation label of up to 32 characters in length. A fire generated by a MCP in the group will have anautomatic prefixed ‘MCP;’, which limits the label length to 28 characters only.

� Command build is a function that controls the system in an event condition. A command build can begiven a label of up to 40 characters length.

� Up to 270 labels may be assigned to each loop, which allows for extra labels needed by interface units inputand output lines.

How are long labels created?

The long label function allows device, zone, group, command build and panel labels to be extended to 64characters. A 64 character label is achieved by the software which automatically replaces commonly usedwords with a token. The label is then expanded just prior to printing or display at the panel to give the full64 character label.

� A word or part of a word becomes tokenised and is displayed in Upper case.

If a label is entered that is 32 characters (40 characters for command builds) or less these are alsotokenised automatically.

� To enable tokenisation to take place, the words to be tokenised must finish with a space. Inserting a commaor other punctuation mark after the word will result in the software being unable to find the word in the token list.

The list of tokens is used by the software to reduce the label to 32 characters. There are three lists, Bank 0,Bank 1 and Bank 2. The tokens in Bank 0 only use 1-special character per token, whilst the tokens in Banks1 and 2 uses 2-special characters.

Labels Appendix A


Sector LinksA sector is a collection of fire sensors and alarm devices that are associated with each other, such that anevent of fire detected by one of the fire sensors will cause the associated sounders to sound.

Default Fireplan

� A default fire plan is automatically configured on power-up of the control panel and is known as ‘one outall out’. This is where all the devices are assigned to Sector 1. Any fire will operate all the interfaceoutputs and speech/sounder/strobe (VAD) devices, that is all the alarms sound on the occurrence of a fireevent from anywhere in a building.

What can be sectored?

� There can be a maximum of 32 sectors per loop.

� An input device such as a Sensor, MCP and Input channel of an Interface unit may be assigned to oneSector. An S-Quad (SENTRI) device having combined sensor and sounder may only be assigned to oneSector.

� An Output device such as Speech/Sounder/Strobe (VAD) unit or output channel off an Interface unit maybe assigned to one Sector ONLY.

� Generally a loop powered interface unit should be assigned to a sector as a device only, that is individualinputs and outputs of the interface cannot be separately assigned to different sectors.

What are Sector actions?

� A sector that is actioned ON will activate its alarm devices, such as Interface outputs, Speech, Sounderand VAD / Strobe devices.

� A sector can be configured to give one of 3 signals:

• Signal 1 Alert (Priority 3)

• Signal 2 Evacuate (Priority 2)

• Signal 3 Continuous (Priority 1)

� Sectors of the same number, but on different loops, operate independently of each other, that is Sector 1Loop 1 has nothing to do with Sector 1 Loop 2

� Sector linking cannot be ‘daisy chained’.

Operation with Sound, Silence and Reset

� Sectors 1-28 operate automatically with the Sound Alarms and Silence Alarms buttons.

� Sectors 29-32 are independent of the Sound Alarms button at the control panel and are primarily usedfor control of plant equipment. The sector 29-32 can be configured for normal operation like sectors 1-28 .

� Sectors 1-32 may be configured for ACTION or NO ACTION on ‘Sound Alarms’ button being pressed atthe control panel. If a sector is configured for NO ACTION it will be silenced on pressing the ‘Reset’button at the control panel.

� When a sector is configured for 'integral sounder mode' sometimes referred to as 'flag set sector', then afire event from a sensor sounder in the sector will cause only the integral sounder to operate.

� Linked sector are not actioned when sensor/sounder type device is triggered from sector configured for'integral operation mode', only its local sounder operates and fire is reported at the panel.

� Delay Blocks can be configured to action other sectors from sector operating in an integral soundermode.

� Sectors configured for integral sounder operation can be setup to action command builds.

Delay blocksThe delay function allow alarms to be delayed from sounding to provide time for investigation of the cause ofevent before sounding alarm. The delay function may be used in conjunction with sectors, such that there isa delay introduced before sector activation. Additionally sectors may be configured such that the activation ofone sector will cause the activation of another sector and a delay may be introduced between the activationof the two sectors.

Where delay blocks are linked together to produce a delay of longer than 10 minutes then thepanel will no longer meet the requirements of EN54-2 1997.

Default configuration

By default NO delay blocks are set up at all, which means there is no delay to alarm operation.

What are the limits of delay blocks?

� A maximum of 16 delay blocks are allowed per panel.

� Delay time can be set between 4 seconds to 10 minutes, in 4 second intervals.

What triggers a delay block?

A delay block may be triggered by :

� 1 or more sector on the local control panel.

� 1 or more master sectors (triggered by other control panels)

� Another delay block.

� Command build

Application of delay blocks

A Delay block allow sectors toaction other sectors with a timedelay and a specific sound signal.The example here shows a delayblock being used to delay theevacuation alarm on level 1 by 2minutes.

Actioning from delay blocks

� A delay block can action one or more sectors on the local control panel. Once the delay block is triggeredand timed-out, all the sectors that are configured to it will activate.

� Each delay block must have a signal associated with it. When the delay block times-out, ALL the sectorswill be activated with this signal. In general most common signals are:

• Signal 1 Alert (priority 3).

• Signal 2 Evacuate (priority 2).

• Signal 3 Continuous (priority 1).

If a sector is already activated when the delay block times-out, the higher priority signal takes effect.

� A delay block can also action another delay block to create a ‘daisy chain’ effect.

The following configuration allow levels 2 and 1 to change from alert to evacuate before level 0 change fromalert to evacuate.

Operation with Sound Alarms

The ‘Sound Alarms’ function will completely stop any triggered delay blocks.

Operation with Verify

� If there are any delay blocks running when the Verify key is pressed, then the delay blocks time periodwill be replaced (if applicable) to that set for the Verify function by a maximum of 10 minutes.

� If there are no delay blocks running when the Verify key is pressed, then the Verify function will have noeffect other than to generate the ‘Alarms Verified’ message

Time Blocks and Time SlotsThe time slots and time blocks are timer functions of the panel, that operate like a central heating timer. Theyare primarily used to change fire sensor STATES at programmed times of the day.

� Note the Plexus sensor devices do not have sensor STATES and the use of time blocks and time slots is notapplicable for these wireless devices.

What can it do?Time slots and time blocks can be used to:

� Change fire sensor states (e.g. from Optical Heat sensing to Heat only sensing)

� Disable Zone (EN system) or Group (BS system)

� Trigger Command builds

Using time blocks and time slots it is possible to change sensor states over time.

Default configurationBy default all loop devices are assigned to function in their default sensor state '0' continuously24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Typical fire applications

� Kitchen areas inside a building normally generate a lot of heat and whilst in use can be at much highertemperature than at all other times. In this situation the detection can be switched to heat detection onlywhilst in use and to full detection at all other times.

� Theatre where artificial smoke is in use for artistic effects during performance or rehearsal time. Hereagain the heat detection only can be applied during occupied time and full detection at all other times.

� Experiment room in schools making use of apparatus that can generate smoke during practicalexperiment, such as from a bunsen burners. During school hours the sensors can be switched to heatdetection only and to full detection at all other times.

� Warehouse in which fork lift trucks are in operation there is fumes from exhaust, such areas can beprotected by Heat detection whilst the area is in use and full detection at all other times.

Typical non fire applications

� School Class change alarm that operate alarms for short duration to inform students to change class.

Time slots

A time slot is a timing program with ON/OFF times.

� It comprises a start 'enable' time and finish 'disable' time and a set of days. The times and days may belogically related using AND or OR operators.

� When TRUE it is in the ON 'enable' state

� It may be manually switched ON 'enable' and OFF 'disable' or by Command builds.

� There can be a maximum of 16 time slots per control panel and a time slot may be shared by any numberof time blocks.

� When the control panel is in a FIRE condition and a timeslot is switched ON, then the timeslots (ortimeblocks) will NOT operate. They will operate once the fire has been RESET.

Time blocks

A time block is used to perform switching actions on the system.

� Each time block can be made from a combination of up to 16 time slots.

� A time block is enabled if any of its time slots are ON 'enabled'.

� Each time block may control any number of sensors. Each sensor may only be controlled by one timeblock.

� When ENABLED

• Any assigned sensors will be in their ENABLE STATE (which could be any one of the 15 potentialstates for that sensor).

• Any linked Command builds will be TRIGGERED.

� When DISABLED

• Any linked Zone task (EN system) or Group task (BS system) will be DISABLED.

• Any assigned sensors will be in their DISABLE STATE (which could be any one of the 15 potentialstates for that sensor).

� Maximum of 15 time blocks per control panel (the 16th, TIME BLOCK 0, is continuously ENABLED).

� Time block 0 is the default setting that is preconfigured for all devices.

ZonesA Zone is a collection of input devices such as sensors, manual call points and interface inputs that arecombined together for use in an EN system for common indication at control and indicating equipment.


� All devices are assigned to Zone 1 in an EN54 system

� Nothing is assigned to Zones by default in a BS system.

What are the common zone functions?

� A maximum of 128 zones are allowed per panel

� they are used to send FIRE information to repeat and zonal mimic panels

� also used to send FIRE and FAULT information to central monitoring system

� can be used to Disable sensors in a zone

� give local zonal indication (ONLY applicable for EN54 system)

Which system devices can be assigned to zones?

� Zones may include the following devices:

• Sensors, Manual call points and Interface unit inputs

� Individual interface channels MAY NOT be assigned separately to different zones.

� A zone may include any combination of these devices, irrespective of which loop they are attached to, aslong as they are all connected to the same control panel.

� Any device may only be associated with a single zone.

� A zone is limited to the local control panel but may include devices from any loop of that panel.

What can zones be used for?

� To display a common label for a collection of input devices.

� In an EN system zones are used to perform ‘Co-incidence

detection’, that is responding to different combinations of‘fires’, ‘pre-fires’ and ‘super-fires’ (see Co-incidencedetection).

What are the choices of label displayed?

A Zone label is displayed with the respective FIRE messages when a device from the zone goes into a firecondition. However the display of label is determined by what mode is selected. The mode can be:

� Display only the zone label (factory default on EN panel)

� Display the individual label of the first device to trigger a fire event

� Display all individual device labels.

� A zone label may be up to 32 characters (64 if long labels selected). However when an MCP initiates a fire thezone label displayed will be prefixed by ‘MCP;’, which will reduce the label to 28 characters in length.

How can a zone be used for co-incidence fire detection?

Under normal circumstances a sensor willtrigger an alarm if it detects a ‘fire’. The zonefacility recognises three sensor sensitivities:‘pre-fire’, ‘fire’ and ‘super-fire’. The sensorswithin a zone may be configured to trigger analarm condition on a combination of differentnumbers of sensors responding to differentcombinations of sensitivity.

What are zone tasks?Zone tasks are used as inputs to trigger onecommand build. Each individual zone may beconfigured to initiate up to 8 individual tasks.Each task can be configured to be triggereddepending on the number of each type of fire(pre-fire, fire or super-fire) that is detected, thenumber may be 1, 2, 3 or ignore.

GroupsA Group is a collection of input devices such as sensors, manual call points and interface inputs that arecombined together for common indication at control and indicating equipment. They are also used withcommand builds primarily to perform tasks in the local BS system EN system, EN System by default makeuse of Zones to perform such tasks in a similar manner. Groups when linked with Master groups allowdisplay of event messages across a fire system network.


� All devices default to Group 1 in a EN system.

� All devices default to Group 0 in a BS system

What are the common group functions?

� A maximum of 128 groups are allowed per panel.

� a group event is displayed via a master group across a network of panels and is applicable for both BSand EN systems

� can be used in a BS system to Disable sensors by groups

Which system devices can be assigned to groups?

� Groups may include the following devices:

• Sensors, Manual call points and Interface unit inputs

�Individual interface channels MAY NOT be assigned separately todifferent groups.

� A group may include any combination of these devices,irrespective of which loop they are attached to, as long asthey are all connected to the same control panel.

� Any device may only be associated with a single group.

� A group is limited to the local control panel but may includedevices from any loop of that panel.

Sound PatternsThe audible outputs of alarm devices in a system are preconfigured with three different signals and these areapplicable to all loops of control panel.

� alert (Signal 1)

� evacuate (Signal 2)

� continuous (Signal 3)

� (and OFF)

Any of these three sound outputs may be redefined. Each sound output pattern is defined in terms offrequency and timing.

� Most applications will use standard alarm outputs that are preset in the panel. Under exceptionalcircumstances the output will require re configuration.

FrequencyThe sounders are driven at one of two frequencies:

� high - 970Hz ±10%

� low -730Hz ±10%

� (and OFF)

TimingThe sound pattern is repeated every 2 seconds. The pattern is defined by specifying an action every250 ms through the pattern.

The action can specify:

� Switch ON high

� Switch ON low

� (No change)

An action can last for:

� 10 ms, 40 ms, 90 ms, 160 ms, 250 ms, 350 ms, 480 ms, 630 ms, 800 ms, 980 ms, 1.2 s, 1.4 s, 1.6 s, or1.9 s

Auxiliary relaysThe two auxiliary relays within a control panel may be individually configured. Each auxiliary relay may beconfigured to operate by any of the following:

� Sector Fire

� Fault

� Disablement EN panel / Warning BS panel

� Any combination of the above

The relays may be configured to be either normally energised or normally de-energised. The normallyenergised option is used to provide a fail-safe configuration.

DelayThe auxiliary relay operation may be delayed by up to 10 minutes in the event of a sector fire.

Application

The auxiliary relay contacts can be used to control external equipment, such as an automatic dialler thatmakes the call for fire fighting action.

� The contacts should be powered from an independent power supply, where required.

Master GroupsMaster Groups allow messages to be passed around a secure network between control panels, terminalnodes, repeat panels and mimic panels.

� There can be a maximum of up to 8 Master Groups per secure network

� Messages can be routed to individual loops (Loop card)

� Can also be routed to the displays of control and indicating equipment (LCD)

� and to the installed printers which are connected to the control and indicating equipment

Typical application of controls across a network of two panels:

The 8 Master Groups may be used individually to establish sub-groups of control panels within the network.

Fire messagesEach card can be set to display or print Fire only information from each Master Group individually.

System messagesEach card can be set to display or print all system event information (including fires) from each Master Groupindividually.

Silence Alarms

‘Controls’ such as‘Silence Alarms’ and ‘Reset’make use of Master Groupto allow Alarms to besilenced from networkedpanels.

Master SectorsMaster Sectors are used to provide global alarm actions across a network of Panels. Master Sectors aretherefore a collection of one or more Sectors, Delay Blocks, Master Alarms and Auxiliary Relays from one ormore Panels.

One of many application of Master Sectors is illustrated below where all sectors across a network of twosystems will action alarm in the event of an alarm in any sector.

There can be up to 64 Master Sectors available per Panel with a total of 255 Master Sectors available acrossa networked system.

Master Sectors can only be triggered by a sectored fire event. Once triggered, a Master Sector can thenaction a Sector, another Master Sector, Command Build (not locally), Delay Block, Master Alarm or AuxiliaryRelay.

What are the uses of Master Sectors?

� Automatic alarm sounding across panels in the event of a fire, to provide a phased evacuation for a singlebuilding application, or a timed warning signal for other buildings on a distributed site.

� Manually initiated alarm activation via I/O device, to provide a ‘sectored’ bomb alert, or manualevacuation, as a result of the growth of a fire to other areas of a site

� Automatically switch Virtual Output Points 1 to 255 in the D1 system with Vigilon Master Sectors 1 to 255.

Command BuildsCommand Builds provide a general purpose link for use in configuring the control panel. They are primarilyused for NON-FIRE actions, but may also be used during a fire.

Each command build has a Trigger and an Action. The action is usually performed immediately upon receiptof the Trigger.

� There can be a maximum of up to 255 Command builds per panel.

Command Build Labels

� Each command build can be given a label of up to 40 (64 if long labels are enabled) characters. This labelcan be used in one of 3 ways:

• Display only when command build is triggered.

• Display and print when command build is triggered (and printer is on).

• Not display or print.

� If the label is displayed, the control panel’s buzzer is also activated at the same time.

� Command builds are logged with an On/Off time, but only if they have been given a label.

User defined buttons U1 - U4

� Pressing the keyboard buttons U1, U2, U3 or U4 will action command builds 251 -254 respectively.

Triggering Command Builds

� A command build can be triggered by:

• One (or a range of) Timeblocks - triggered when the timeblock is ENABLED.

• One (or a range of) Input lines on one (or a range of) Interfaces - this can be used to providenon-fire actions if a Loop Powered Interface is used, with the input set as ‘supervisory’.

• One (or a range of) Sectors - triggered when a fire is detected in that sector.

• One (or a range of) Master Sectors (from other panels on a network) - triggered when a fire isdetected in that master sector.

• A command build can ALSO be actioned by any number of other command builds.

• A command build can ALSO be triggered by any number of Zone (Group on V3+) Tasks - triggeredwhen all of the conditions for that task are true.

Command Build Actions

� Each command build has ONE action only.

� A command build can perform automatically any of the actions that can be performed manually in the‘Control’ menu of the panel (see the functional diagram for a detailed list of these actions).

� Most ACTIONS are either Reversible or Non-Reversible .

• REVERSIBLE means that the action reverses when the trigger condition is removed (e.g.. the sectoris re-enabled, when the keyswitch is turned back).

• NOT REVERSIBLE means that the action continues even when the trigger condition is removed (e.g.the sector stays disabled until it is manually re-enabled).

� FIRES take priority over command builds

� Command builds are processed sequentially, ie number 1 is first and 255 is last.
