CONFIGURING ZONES

7.3.1GENERAL

The programmable options for each zone as shown in Fig 7.1.1 are:

Latch/Non-Latch; Map/Non Map to MAF/Status Only; Map/Non-Map to Anc1; Map/Non-Map to Anc2; Map/Non-Map to Bells; Map to LED.

Mapping a zone to an output e.g. to ANC1 (Ancillary Relay 1) causes the output to operate when that zone goes into alarm. Mapping will only be effective if the output retains its default programming (i.e. does not have a logic equation programmed for it).

A non-latching zone will return to normal from Fault or Alarm if the AZC returns to normal. It is, therefore, only meaningful when used with a non-latching detector e.g. as is used in some air conditioning ducts, or flow switches.

7.3.2MAPPING TO MAF

Mapping to the MAF allows 1 of 3 options as follows:

Mapped to MAF

Not mapped to MAF

Status Only

A zone mapped to the MAF causes the Brigade relays (Alarm, Fault, Isolate) to turn on for the corresponding condition on the zone. It also enters the Alarm (FFCIF) queue on Alarm and is included in the Alarms, Faults and Isolated totals.

Zones not mapped to the MAF will not do this, unless the FFCIF is programmed for "All Zones".

Status Only Zone

A zone programmed as "Status Only" will NOT:

Operate the Brigade relays;

Enter the FFCIF queue;

Operate the common LEDs or buzzer on alarm or fault;

Add to the totals in the base display (not even "other");

Be logged in the printer or history queues;

Be tested by System or Auto Test.

Status zones may be mapped to Anc1, etc, and may be used in output logic equations, but will not be included in the output logic tokens NML, ALM, FLT, NMA, NMF, MUA and ISO.

Status zones can be mapped to LEDs on a LED Display Board where fitted.

7.3.3MAPPING ZONES TO LEDS

Where 16 Zone LED Displays are fitted, zones and relays have a default mapping to the LEDs as described in Section 2.3.2. Other mappings are programmable but currently only 1- 1 mapping of zones/relays to LEDs is supported (i.e. only one zone or one relay can be mapped to the one set of LEDs). Also a zone or relay can be mapped to only one set of LEDs (or not shown on LEDs at all, i.e. LED = 0).
