1.2 FIRSTVISION Descriptions
1.2.1 Product Overview
FIRSTVISION uses a graphical user interface (GUI) approach to life safety monitoring for your building. The GUI's display method enables an authorized event responder (e.g. firefighter) to view an event in the context of the building's floor layouts. This allows planning of routes and methods for responding to the event.
Before it can be used by an event responder, FIRSTVISION must be configured with information about the building into which it is installed. Those configuration tasks are performed with the ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool (refer to 53035ONYX® FIRSTVISION™ Configuration Tool manual). The Configuration Tool tasks include entering meaningful information about the layout of all floors in the building (drawing background), the locations of all sensing devices that communicate with FIRSTVISION, building features (such as water supplies), and hazards (such as flammable or reactive chemicals).
FIRSTVISION should be installed in the authorized event responder’s preferred building entry location.
Refer to “The Development of FIRSTVISION” on page 39 for more information about this product.
