3.2 Create a Circuit
When creating a circuit, you can update the default values to
set the circuit’s Name, Amps, Style, AWG, and choose or
exclude a Sync Module. The circuit’s name can be changed
by clicking on the default name (in this case, “Untitled
Circuit 1”), and typing a new name. Amps value is changed
by clicking on the current or default value and entering your
criteria. Style, AWG, and Sync Module can be selected using
drop-down menus that appear by clicking on the current or
default value. To add another circuit, click the green “Add”
button. To remove an existing circuit, click the red “X” in the
“Delete” column.
Synchronization module options include System Sensor MDL
or MDL3 (new module released 4/1/09) devices. These
devices should be used if the System Sensor synchronization
protocol is not built into the panel or power supply. Choose
“NONE” if a sync module is not required for your application.
3.3 Add Devices
3.3.1 Add devices as step 3
Select device characteristics from the drop-down menus.
In the above screen shot, once user selects a Device series
type, the Device Type will list the different types of devices.
Based upon the device type selection, the other details will
be enabled or disabled based on the applicability.e.g.
In the above scenario for Horn/Strobe, there can be devices
of 2 wire type only in Oldlegacy SpectrAlert type and hence
2 wires is disabled (2 wire was the only option for the legacy
models).
Instead of selecting individual fields user can select the
device in the device details text box (The control in which
the details “In the screen shot the P1224MC with selectable
strobe of 110 candelas” have been displayed).
Also for some devices user must select Tone, volume
and /Or frequency to be able to add device in the circuit
as shown left.
