Alert Mode - Operation Manual

When an event occurs in the system, the display enters the Alert or Firefighter’s mode automatically. The events are displayed in priority order, the local audible sounds and the appropriate LED blinks. If the event caused notification appliances to sound, the Audibles On indicator lights. At the bottom of the screen an Acknowledge soft key is displayed. Pressing this key acknowledges the event and silences the local audible. A Silence Audibles soft key is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Once all events are acknowledged and audibles silenced, a Reset System soft key becomes available in the lower right side of the display. If Fire notification appliances were active, two additional soft keys become available at the bottom of the screen. These allow the operator to silence or unsilence the notification appliances (audibles). When Fire notification appliances are silenced the Audibles Silenced LED lights.

Press the More Info/+ button to display a screen showing details relating to the selected event. Additional soft keys appear at the bottom of this screen, including one that displays a map of the area in which the event occurred, provided this information has been programmed using the Zeus tool. The operator can return to the previous screen by pressing the ESC (FCM2041-U2) button, which is adjacent to the More Info/+ button.

The FCM2041-U2 supports the display of up to nine event queues. The following table shows the default and configurable event types by Country mode:

*If enabled

**User Configurable

NOTICE

Event counts in FCM2041-U2 and SSDs may differ because SSDs currently display only “primitive” (individual) events.

In a GCNET (Global Control Network) system, each FCM2041-U2 can be configured to display local events or all events in the building, but it cannot display events from different Buildings.

Alarm

When an alarm is detected, the red Alarm LED blinks, the System’s internal audible sounds steady, the Audibles On LED glows steady, and the alarm event displays on the screen with a blinking exclamation mark (!). The event listing displays the Event Custom Message, the Time of the event occurrence and the Alarm Event Category (refer to the Alarm Event: Category Cross Reference Table).

NOTE: Categories are fixed for some devices and selectable for others, based on the application selected in the Zeus programming tool. (i.e., XMS/HMS is always MANUAL, but HTRI is selectable.) *Not supported by Desigo FP

In addition, the System responds to alarms with other output functions (as programmed in the Zeus tool) such as other audible signals.

An Acknowledge Alarms soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each alarm and to silence the local audible. The blinking exclamation point (!) then changes to a check mark (If the system is programmed as NFPA 72D in the Zeus tool, it is necessary to individually acknowledge each alarm.).

Highlight an event and press the More info/+ button to go to the Devices screen. If the selected item is part of a group, the device list will show the primitive (individual) devices currently off-normal in the event queue. All events in a group of the same type (i.e., Alarm, Trouble) display together in the devices screen. Primitive devices that are not part of a group display by themselves. Depending on how the system is programmed in Zeus, the top event can be a device or a group.

Pressing the Details soft key takes you to the Details screen. The Details screen contains information that has been entered using the Zeus programming tool, such as additional information about the alarm location, the number of devices in alarm (this number can be more than one when the device is part of a group), the alarm types, the name and phone number of a contact person, icons showing the fire equipment in the area and icons showing special conditions.

Press the Map soft key to display a map showing the location of the event, provided the information has been programmed using the Zeus tool. Maps can be programmed to provide icons showing the event type. These icons are the same ones that represent Alarm, Security, Supervisory and Trouble on the OI panel. The map can also be programmed to show the location of the OI (“You are here”). All members of a group will display the same map.

Supervisory

When a supervisory is detected, the yellow Supervisory LED blinks, the System’s internal audible pulses, and the event(s) display on the screen with a blinking exclamation mark (!). This event listing displays the Event Custom Message, the Time of the event occurrence and the Supervisory Event Category (i.e., Security, Sprinkler, etc.).

In addition, the System responds to supervisories with other output functions (as programmed in the Zeus tool).

An Acknowledge Supervisory soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each supervisory and to silence the local audible. The blinking exclamation point (!) then changes to a check mark.

Security

When a security is detected, the yellow Security LED blinks, the System’s internal audible pulses, and the event(s) display on the screen with a blinking exclamation mark (!). This event listing displays the Event Custom Message, the Time of the event occurrence and the Security Event Category (i.e., Door, Monitor Point, etc.).

In addition, the System responds to securities with other output functions (as programmed in the Zeus tool).

An Acknowledge Security soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each security and to silence the local audible. The blinking exclamation point (!) then changes to a check mark.

Trouble

When a trouble is detected, the yellow Trouble LED blinks, the System’s internal audible pulses, and the event(s) display on the screen with a blinking exclamation mark (!). This event listing displays the Event Custom Message, the Time of the event occurrence and the Trouble Event Category (refer to the Trouble Event: Category Cross Reference Table that follows).

In addition, the System responds to troubles with other output functions (as programmed in the Zeus tool). An Acknowledge Trouble soft key displays in the bottom left corner of the screen. Press this key to acknowledge each trouble and to silence the local audible. The blinking exclamation point (!) then changes to a check mark.

24 Hour Event Resound

If acknowledged events remain in the queue, the system will sound the local audible every 24 hours as a reminder. A 24 Hour Trouble Resound pop-up box will appear on the OI and the sounder will remain on until it is silenced. To silence the local audible, touch any OI key or press the Silence button on the touch screen.

Reset Procedures

There are two types of reset procedures that can be performed on the Desigo Fire Safety System: Hard Reset and Soft Reset.

Hard Reset

Other terms for Hard Reset are Power-up, Initialization, and Cold Reset. Applying power to the system performs a Hard Reset. Doing so initializes the whole system.

What Is Lost:

• All event conditions (Alarm, supervisory, etc. provided they have returned to the normal state).
• Arm/disarm.
• Manual sensitivity adjustment.

What Is Not Lost:

• Zeus program/database.
• Time and date.
• History log.
• Time-based control.

Soft Reset

A Soft Reset is performed by pressing the Reset System soft key. There two sets of Soft Reset soft keys: one of the Fire system and one for the MNS system. The keys for the Fire system are displayed as “Fire Reset” and those for MNS are displayed as “MNS Reset”. The system can only be reset when all events for that sub-system (Fire or MNS) are acknowledged and the notification appliances are silenced.
