NDU OPERATION

 

An NDU can be thought of as an F3200 FIP without any alarm zone modules or relay modules. An NDU also has an option of MAF board present/not present.

An NDU can be programmed to operate in “New Zealand” mode rather than the default Australian mode. New Zealand mode operation is described in Chapter 12.

An NDU without a MAF board is physically quite small, convenient to use, and is powered from an external source. An NDU with a MAF board may perform brigade signalling functions and also has ancillary and bell relays.

Even though an NDU does not have any 8 zone or 8 relay modules, it does have 16 alarm zones. The local MCP (or connected RDU MCP), if any, may be mapped to any one of these 16 zones. Each of the 16 zones may be isolated, de-isolated, or reset, but cannot be tested. Each zone can be programmed as latching/non-latching, MAF/non-MAF, etc. Even though an NDU zone which does not have an MCP mapped cannot go into alarm, it may be useful as an object which can be isolated or de-isolated.

Otherwise an NDU will perform all the functions of an F3200 panels, including sending/receiving network zone commands, network event printing, and FFCIF alarm display.

An NDU may be programmed with output logic, the same as F3200, and may send and receive network logic variables on the network.

An NDU without a MAF board may still perform functions of Bells or Ancillary Relay Isolate/De-Isolate/Test, and the output logic tokens associated with these may be used so that these conditions can be accessed from other panels.

An NDU without a MAF board may be used to do Bells Isolate operation, and, with appropriate programming, may be used to silence the bells throughout the network, or it can be used just to display the Bells Isolate/Network Silence state of the network.

The keypad on an NDU without a MAF board is physically accessible all the time, but when the cabinet is locked the NDU software disables the keypad even though the keypad is physically accessible.

The operation of the Bells Isol and Ancil Isol keys may be disabled as described in Section 6.4.4.

Section 4.1.1 of the F3200 Operator’s Manual describes the interpretation of the front panel LEDs on an NDU.

If an NDU is programmed to use the totals sent by another device on the network, then the NDU will turn its buzzer on if a new MAF fault, Standby condition or new System fault occurs on the remote device.

Programming an NDU

All of the programmable network parameters listed in Table 6.4.1 Chapter 6 and section 11.13 are relevant to an NDU with the following points to note.

MAF board present/not present

The MAF board must be programmed as present or not present. This is done by selecting System Config from the main programming menu and then option 3:Modules.
