F3200 Installation & Programming Manual

 

Programming System Configuration

7.6RDU

The connection of RDUs (RZDUs, Remote LCDs) to a FIP is described in Sections 2.1.6 and 8.9.

An F3200 panel transmits the status of its alarm zones and module relay zones to an RDU. The F3200 panel may have from zero to 64 alarm zones and these zones are always mapped to zones 1 to 64 at the RZDU. The F3200 panel may have from zero to 64 module relays and for F3200 V2.00 and later software these relays are always mapped to zones 65 to 128 at the RZDU. NOTE :- In F3200 V1.10 this was not the case. F3200 V1.10 mapped the module relays to zones in the range 1-64 and the first module relay mapped to the first free zone after the alarm zones.

In F3200 V2.00 or later software, the first module relay always maps to zone 65 at the RZDU. i.e. at an RDU, a recall of zone 65 on the LCD will show the status of the first module relay in the F3200 panel and a recall of zone 1 on the LCD at an RDU will show the status of the first alarm zone in the F3200 panel. This numbering is not affected by the mapping of zones to LEDs at either the panel or at the RDU. e.g the first module relay in the F3200 panel could map to LED 1 in the panel and to LED 33 at the RDU but is still recalled onto the RDU LCD as zone 65.

F3200 V2.07 and later software allows equations for relays 1 to 64 to be entered even if there is no physical relay installed at the FIP. The logic state calculated for the equation is sent as the alarm state for the corresponding zone 65 to 128 sent to the RDU.

F3200 V2.00 and later software will also transmit the status of "zones" 129-192 to the RZDU if it has any output logic equations controlling a relay where the relay number is greater than

64.An output logic equation controlling a relay with a relay number in the range 65 to 192 is actually controlling one of the 64 zone LEDs and is mapped to zones 129-192 for transmission to an RZDU. Refer to section 7.4 for further information.

The RZDU menu (option 6 in the System Configuration menu) has two options as follows: 1 Protocol Type; 2 RZDU config

Protocol Type

The two protocols available for communication between the F3200 FIP and RZDUs are:

LCD - the newer Vigilant protocol with greater flexibility.

Non-LCD - the older Vigilant protocol that may need to be used with some old version RZDUs, IO-NET or Colour Graphic software version.

The default protocol is LCD. Non-LCD can be selected by pressing "ENTER". If LCD protocol is used, each RZDU may then be programmed as using either LCD-A or LCD-B. LCD-A is normally used but LCD-B may be used with some versions of RDU and will allow a bell test command to be initiated at an RDU. The selection of LCD-A or LCD-B must be done in both the panel and the RZDU. A mixture of LCD-A and LCD-B type RZDUs may be used on the same panel.

RZDU config

RZDUs 1-8 can be selected by use of the "NEXT" key. The cursor left and right keys are used to step through the items that can be programmed for each RZDU. The cursor up key is used to enable or disable each rzdu and to select LCD-A or LCD-B.
