4.4 FIRElink-400 Functions
A list of all programmable functions follows with an explanation of their usage and the menu and
submenu in which they can be found. The location of each sub-menu and function within the main menu
is shown in the menu map (section 4.5 on page 27). The menu map also shows the valid input range for
programming parameters.
Each function listed below gives the following information:
Function name and description
Type of function. There are five types of function: Yes/No, Numeric, Alpha (alphanumeric), Display
and Test. In the case of the Display and Test functions, the user cannot amend the parameters
shown.
The menu and submenu within which the function can be found.
Applicability. The legend "CM only" means that the function applies only to the Command Module
and is not present in the Standard Detector’s list.
The legend "Address 000-127" means that the function may apply to the Command Module and
the Standard Detector (allowable addresses from 000 to 127).
Time and date and Relay
test are examples of these.
All other functions are present in both the Standard Detector and Command Module function lists
and are used to program the detectors. They can either be remotely set on the Command Module,
or locally on the detector front panel. These are annotated "Address 001-127" since they do not
apply to the Command Module itself.
Where a programmable function on the Command Module applies to a Standard Detector, the Command
module will scan the loop and, if more than one detector is present, will prompt the user for the address of
the detector to be programmed. If the function applies to the Command Module, the address "000"
should be entered. For other detectors on the loop (including the detector element of a Command
Module detector), the value is the same as the address set on the detector’s internal DIP switch. If a user
enters an address which does not appear on the loop, the error message
Bad detector will appear.
This message will also appear if the Command Module address "000" is entered into a function which
only applies to detectors, in other words anything except "CM only" and "Address 000-127" functions.
1.1.1 Time and Date (Numeric – Address 000-127)
Setup Menu > Time and date
It is important that the time and date be set up correctly on the controller’s internal calendar/clock
because it uses this information to store events in the event log. See section 8 “Event Log” on page 44
for more information. Unless specially ordered, units are supplied with the correct setting for UK time.
This is backed up with a rechargeable battery. Later adjustments to the clock setting should not exceed ±
70 minutes unless a FastLearn is initiated.
