1 Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the PS-Tools (Programming Software Tools) application and
describes the profiles of the users.

Overview of PS-Tools

PS-Tools is a convenient and powerful tool which can be used for configuring the programming
data for the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) from a computer or a laptop.

You can configure the fire alarm system in three ways.

1.

Using PS-Tools

2.

Using the fire panel keypad

3.

Using PS2 Style Keyboard

Configuring through Fire Panel Keypad

Configuring through panel keypad involves making changes in several screens for a single control
using the panel keypad. This way of configuration is tedious.

Configuring through PS-Tools

You can configure the fire panel using PS-Tools, instead of using a panel keypad. This way is more
efficient because of the user-friendly screens in PS-Tools.

Configuring through PS2 Style Keyboard

You can configure the fire panel by connecting a PS2 Style Keyboard, instead of using the panel
keyboard.
