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.
