ACCESSING THE DATABASE (CONTINUED)

WARNINGS

1.When the database is accessed the Controller de-energises the Standby relay (i.e. transmits Standby) and stops processing. If this signals "Alarm" to the Brigade the appropriate arrangements should be made.

2.On a FIP that has been commissioned, if there is concern that changes made to the database (e.g. programming circuits) may cause a false alarm, then either the Brigade should be isolated or the appropriate zones should be isolated before entering "Program Mode".

6.3.3DE-ACCESSING THE DATABASE

It is important to make an orderly exit from programming mode (by use of "CLEAR ESC") before replacing Lk7 in the WRITE PROTECT position or turning the FIP power off.

This allows the Controller to calculate the checksum for the revised database.

If an orderly exit is not made and the Controller finds its checksum does not match the checksum stored it will remain in Standby with I/O processing inactive. It is then necessary to re-access the database, and re-exit to allow it to calculate a new checksum. When this is "Acknowledged", I/O processing re-starts, and the Standby relay is re-energised (but not while all zones are isolated unless programmed to do so).

NOTES

1.Lk7 must be fitted to the WRITE PROTECT position after the database has been de- accessed.

2.If zones were de-isolated before programming commenced, they should be checked for status before being de-isolated after programming has finished. If any show "alarm" then these must be checked to see if the alarm is genuine.

3.All zones and relays associated with any new modules configured (including E2 Initialisation) will be automatically isolated when the database is de-accessed, and need to be checked and de-isolated as per note 2. above.

6.3.4PRINTING & SAVING THE DATABASE

Once a FIP is programmed and commissioned, it is recommended that a disk containing both a copy of the database in binary format and a printout of the database be kept in the contract file. The printout should be carefully checked against the original configuration setup sheets. A new database printout should be done after any subsequent modification to the database.

The printer or computer is connected to the PRINTER/PROGRAMMER connector (J1) at the bottom left corner of the Controller/Display. Suitable cables for connection are described in Section 3.5.4.

When programming the FIP, remember to set the correct data for the printer (default is 60 lines per page, 9600 Baud).

Set the computer serial port for the same Baud rate. The computer serial port should also be set to 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and Xon/Xoff handshaking should be enabled.
