and when the "AND." key is pressed, the first line changes to:
Full Cause, Alarm Time, Number of Alarms.
The Cause Preview consists of the first section of the Full Cause.
Note: This setting affects ALL events, network or local, shown on the local F3200. It does
not affect the format of information sent to other F3200s on a network, or to RDUs.
Each of those devices will display alarms consistent with their own programming
options and capabilities.
FFCIF option Always flash non-MAF alarm LEDs – enable/disable
This option is available with V2.07 or later software. By default this is disabled. If enabled
the zone LED (if any) for a non-MAF zone will flash when a new alarm occurs on the zone.
This allows the alarm to appear as an unacknowledged alarm at an RDU which may be
showing the alarm in its FF alarm list. At an RDU, each zone can be programmed as to
whether it should be entered into the RDU FF alarm list when the zone goes into alarm. This
allows the choice of whereabouts in the system particular zone alarms are displayed.
FFCIF option Always send RDU non-MAF FF alarms – enable/disable
This option is available with V2.07 or later software. This is disabled by default.
If enabled, alarms on all zones are sent to the RDU as displayable FF alarms. The RDU
then has the choice of which alarms it displays. In V2.06 or earlier software, a displayable
FF alarm was sent to an RDU only if the alarm was entered into the F3200’s FF alarm list.
All zones isolated (Standby Operation)
AS1603.4 suggests that the Standby relay should de-energise if all zones are isolated. This
function may be disabled if allowed by the local Fire Brigade.
Brigade Test
Brigade Test normally energises the MAF Alarm relay when the Brigade Test key on the FIP
(or RZDU) is pressed for 2 seconds. This function may be disabled if the Fire Brigade does
not permit it.
Note that if an output logic equation is programmed for the Alarm relay, (e.g. a special test
sequence) this parameter has no effect (except for networked systems). (Refer to BGT
token in Section 7.4.3).
For network systems, if the MAF alarm relay is programmed to operate for local brigade test
then this also means that the MAF status transmitted onto the network will include a brigade
test state of TRUE when a local FIP (or RZDU) brigade test is done. If the local MAF alarm
relay is programmed not to operate for local brigade test then the brigade test state
transmitted onto the network is always FALSE. If a brigade test state of TRUE is received
from another panel on the network and this panel is programmed to use the MAF status of
that panel then the local MAF alarm relay and LED will operate regardless of the
programming of the local brigade test parameter.
