8 Event Log
An event is defined as operation of any of the front panel controls (when enabled), a signal received from
a remote source (for example, the Command Module or PC), a detector level exceeding the Aux., Pre-
Alarm, Fire 1 or Fire 2 thresholds or certain commands sent from the remote software or SenseNET.
The event log will also store items such as day and night start times, demonstration mode, power fault,
detector fault etc. The detector keeps a log of the last 200 events for reference purposes.
The event log can be downloaded using a PC that has the remote software installed and is connected to
the FIRElink-400’s RS 232 port using a serial cable (see section 9.5 “Connecting to a PC” on page 49).
The event log can also be viewed in the Log menu , which prints out the event log in reverse order i.e.
the last recorded event is printed out first.
When the buffer that stores events is full (200 events are stored) and a new event occurs, the oldest
event in the buffer is discarded.
