EST2 System Operation Manual 1

Introduction

Using this manual

Chapter overview

The EST2 System Operation Manual divides the operation of the fire alarm system into three categories:

Operating panel devices

The panel devices include modules, which mount inside the fire alarm control panel and provide an operator interface with the system. All of the following operator interface devices mount in the fire alarm control panel:

• 2-LCD

• 2-MIC

• 2-TEL

• SIGA-MDM

The explanation for each device usually includes a picture and one or two tables, which describe the controls and indicators on the device. The 2-LCD, however, provides the detailed messages and an extensive amount of operator control over the system.

Therefore, the 2-LCD requires a systematic description of its controls and an explanation of the procedures for using it.

Operating remote devices

Remote devices provide operator interfaces at locations away from the fire alarm control panel. Remote operator interface devices include:

• 2-CMDN(-C)

• 2-LSRA(-C)

• 2-SANCOM

• 2-SMDN(-C)

• SHO-4

• SLU-16

• SWU-8/3

Again, the explanation for each device usually includes a picture and one or two tables, which describe the controls and indicators on the device. Exceptions include the SWU-8/3 and the SHO-4, because of their toggle switch options.

EST2 System Operation Manual

Introduction

Operating peripheral devices

The discussion of peripheral devices covers the operational features of two printers: the PT-1S and the RSAN-PRT. This manual provides instructions for loading and advancing paper in the printer to for printing a history report. Take note, however, that the operation of peripheral devices requires an operator interface. Therefore, you will also need to know how to request a history report from the 2-LCD.

Note:

See “Generating reports“ on page 40 for more information.

Appendix

The Appendix provides the information and resources you need for posting the required operator instructions at the fire alarm control panel.

EST2 System Operation Manual 3

Introduction

Documentation conventions

Important notices

Notices throughout this manual inform the reader of practices and conditions which affect physical safety, occupant safety, equipment performance, and efficient use of time. Notices appear as warnings, cautions, and notes.

Warnings

Warnings are posted when injury or loss of life may occur through the neglect of safe practices and conditions. Here is an example of a warning notice.

WARNING:

Testing the system disables the alarm contact. The system will not notify the fire department in the event of a fire alarm condition during a test. See the system administrator for detailed information.

Cautions

Cautions are posted in the manual to prevent damage to the equipment. A typical caution concerns the prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Caution:

Observe static-sensitive handling practices.

Notes

Notes instruct the reader to avoid practices or conditions that can result in wasted time and effort. For example, a download will not work unless the programmer disconnects the printer from the

RS-232 port on the Main Controller Module (MCM).

Note:

Disconnect the printer when downloading to the MCM.

System parameters

2-LCD keypad entries and fault messages require knowledge of the system parameters.

Keypad entry parameters

To understand the parameters for 2-LCD keypad entries, see

“Making keypad entries” on page 12.

Fault message parameters

To understand the parameters for reading fault messages, see

“System service procedures” in the EST2 Installation and

Service Manual.

Description

When pressed, switches 0 to 9 enter the corresponding number or select the corresponding menu item.

When pressed, the Delete switch deletes the character to the immediate left of the cursor or cancels the menu selection.

When pressed, the Enter switch causes the panel to process the information shown in the display.

The operator must know the system addresses to make entries on the 2-LCD keypad. System addresses often appear as alphabet characters on the 2-LCD, where:

• pp = panel address (00 through 63)

• zz = zone number

A panel address locates a module or part of a module, either internal or external to the fire alarm control panel. For example, the main controller module (MCM) resides in the control panel and has two panel addresses (01 and 02). The 2-LSRA(-C), however, is a remote annunciator that may have one of several panel addresses (10 through 63).

Note:

See “Programming the communications class” on page 29.

A zone number locates a device or function that is either part of a module or wired to it. Zone numbers 01 through 96, on panel addresses 01 and 03, locate Signature series detectors. Zone numbers 03 through 96, on panel addresses 02 and 04, locate

Signature series modules. Zone numbers 01 and 02, on panel addresses 02 and 04, locate NACs. Switches, LEDs, and actions may also have zone numbers.

The operator also needs to know parameters for other keypad entries, where:

• yyyy year

• mm month

• dd = day

• 01 - 07 = day of week

• hh = hour

• mm minute

• ss = second

• nnnn = password, action number, sequence number

• tttt = time control

• PP = Priority

Note:

Do not confuse a priority (PP) with the panel address (pp).

A typical cause for an active monitor point might be a signal, which indicates the status of the fan systems. The Monitor LED, when on, indicates an active monitor point. In the alarm mode, the 2-LCD will also display active monitor messages.

To respond to a monitor point:

1. Read the display to determine the location of the monitor condition.

2. Press the Local Silence switch to silence the buzzer.

3. Read the monitor point message by pressing the MONTR switch.

4. Investigate the cause of the monitor point.

5. Call for service if you cannot immediately determine the cause of the monitor point.

6. Press the Reset switch to restore the system to normal.

The panel will not reset until the monitor point condition is corrected. The 2-LCD display will indicate any additional monitor point messages. The Monitor LED will light steady when you have acknowledged all the monitor point messages.

The 2-LCD displays monitor points only during alarm conditions.

Maintenance message

The 2-LCD will display a maintenance message and sound the buzzer to indicate a maintenance condition. For example, a dirty detector may cause a maintenance condition. The display will annunciate the device address and any programmed message assigned to that device.

To respond to a maintenance message:

1. Press the Local Silence switch to silence the buzzer.

2. Press the MONTR switch to view the maintenance message.

3. Investigate the device indicating the maintenance message.

4. Clean the device.

You can view the maintenance messages on the 2-LCD sensitivity report or a printout.

Operating panel devices

Verification message

The 2-LCD will display a verification message and sound the buzzer to indicate a verification condition. The display will indicate the device address and any programmed message(s).

To respond to a verification message:

1. Press the Local Silence switch to silence the internal buzzer.

2. Press the MONTR switch to view the verification message.

3. Investigate the cause of the verification condition.

If the device indicating the verification or any other device detects smoke within the specified period of time, both devices will go into alarm and send a message to the display.

Operating LED/switch modules

The front panel LED/switch modules provide manual control to various portions of the system. The operator may view LEDs to determine the status of a device, or press an associated switch pad to change its state. During any change of state, the LEDs flash through a duty cycle. All commands may be cancelled by pressing the switch pad a second time before the command is executed.

Reading front panel LEDs

Each switch has two LEDs. A flashing sequence on the upper

LED indicates the activation or restoration of a device. The lower LED operates independently, but it usually indicates the status of a function related to the switch pad.

SWU-8

The SWU-8 consists of 8 two-position toggle switches and 16 red or yellow LEDs. Each switch forms a distinct functional group with two independently programmed LEDs. Placing a switch in the up position generates an active (off normal) condition. The down position is the normal state.

In a typical firefighter telephone application using the SWU-8, the upper switch position selects an incoming call; the lower switch position places the circuit to normal or off-line operation.

One of the associated LEDs indicates the circuit calling in; the other LED indicates that the circuit has been connected to the master handset.

SWU-8/3

The SWU-8/3 consists of 8 three-position toggle switches and 16 red or yellow LEDs. Each switch forms a distinct functional group with two independently programmed LEDs. Placing a switch in the up or down positions generates one of two active

(off-normal) conditions. The center position is the normal state.

In a typical HVAC application, the SWU-8/3 switches may be used as hands off automatic (HOA) controls to override the automatic operation of the system. The two associated LEDs may be programmed to indicate the status of Run/Stop contacts, fans or dampers with limit switches, etc.

In typical audio evacuation application using the SWU-8/3, the upper switch position initiates circuit paging. The center switch position allows normal/automatic control mode of the speaker circuit. The LEDs indicate the active condition of the speaker circuit.

SHO-4

The SHO-4 module provides 4 three-position rotary switches and

12 LEDs for remote switching and annunciator applications.

Two yellow LEDs and one green LED are positioned next to each switch. The yellow LEDs operate independent of the switches, which the system program controls. The green LED illuminates when the switch is in the center position. Typical applications include Hand-Off-Automatic (HOA) control and the override of automatic systems.

The SHO-4 switches activate control fans, dampers, etc. The center switch position is the automatic operational position. The switch, in the center position, lights the green LED to show that the HVAC system is using its normal control cycle.

In a typical program, the upper switch position forces the device to turn on through a control module or zone. The lower switch position forces the device to turn off again. Status zones connected to vane or limit switches, contractor status switches, etc. activate the upper and lower LEDs to indicate a device's status.

Selecting system functions on SAN annunciators

The SWU-8 series annunciators provide two-position and threeposition toggle switch options. The SHO-4 provides threeposition rotary switches. Apart from operator intervention the

SAN annunciators will allow the system to function automatically. During off-normal conditions, however, the operator has the option of toggling or turning switches to activate programmed functions or override normal system functions.

Each three-position toggle switch has two LEDs. When the switch is in the center position, the system will function automatically and keep both LEDs off. When an operator toggles the switch up or down, it will activate a programmed function, and turn on the appropriate LED.

The three-position rotary switch is like the three-position toggle switch, but it has a third LED. When the switch is in the center position the system will function automatically and turn on the center LED. The upper and lower LEDs operate independent of the switch.

The two-position toggle switch has two LEDs. When the switch is down the system will function automatically. When an operator toggles the switch up, it will activate a programmed function and turn on the upper LED.

SAN-MIC II

The SAN-MIC II module is a supervised microphone capable of operation remotely from the audio power amplifier. The

SAN-MIC II provides a pre-amp level signal, which may be transmitted over 2,000 feet of shielded cable. In addition, the

SAN-MIC II provides a PTT dynamic microphone, a solid state

VU meter, and a supervisory pulse generator.

In the normal state, the SAN-MIC II generates a supervisory pulse tone for supervision of the audio wiring and circuitry.

Switches

The Microphone PTT sends the microphone output to the module output terminals. The activation of the microphone PTT closes the speaker select relay.

VU meter

The VU meter is a row of LEDs that form a bar graph to indicate the input level from the microphone. The amplitude of your voice determines the microphone's input level. If the bar graph does not light up when you talk, you may not be talking loud enough. If the bar graph runs all the way to the left, you are talking too loud. The ideal indication on the VU meter is a bar graph that runs to the middle.
