FFCIF options

The parameters which can be programmed to configure the FFCIF operation are:

FFCIF type

The default type of FFCIF operation is, 3 where an alarm is automatically displayed on the LCD and alarms must be individually acknowledged. Where LED displays are fitted for each zone and the automatic display with individual acknowledgement is not required, type 2 may alternatively be selected. This is described in Section 5.10 of the Operator's Manual. Selecting this option forces the FFCIF queue to accept MAF zones only.

FFCIF zones

The FFCIF operation as described in the Operator's Manual Chapter 5 is Type 3 and normally only puts zones which are mapped to the MAF into the FFCIF queue. Alternatively, the FFCIF queue can be programmed to accept all zones, or no zones (disabled).

An example of an alternative follows:

Assume an owner has two buildings, each with its own Brigade connected FIP. It is required that any alarm on one FIP must show as a single alarm on the other, but this repeat indication must not initiate a second alarm call to the Brigade.

The zone on each FIP which indicates alarm for the other FIP cannot be mapped to the MAF (and probably Bells or Anc1, Anc2) so that it will not call the Brigade.

To make the alarm sound the buzzer, be displayed in the FFCIF, etc, the FFCIF should be programmed as "All Zones" rather than "MAF Only". This assumes that there are no other non-MAF mapped zones for which alarms are not to be displayed in the FFCIF).

FFCIF RDU remote ack

If enabled this allows FFCIF alarms to be acknowledged by RZDUs. If disabled, acknowledgement commands from RZDU devices will not be accepted but reset and isolate commands from RZDU devices will still be accepted. For network systems refer also to Section 11.7.

FFCIF auto ack.

If enabled, all alarms entered into the local FFCIF alarm list will be flagged as "acknowledged" automatically. This does not result in the alarm being acknowledged at any RZDUs or, for network systems at other network devices.

Bells on for FFCIF Alarm

If enabled, the bells will be activated whenever there is any entry in the local FFCIF alarm queue. This can be used, for example, to activate the bells if an alarm is received from another networked panel. Regardless of whether this option is enabled or disabled, the bells are still activated if any local zone mapped to the bells is in alarm.

FFCIF Display cause by default

As standard, the first line of the F3200 FFCIF Alarm display shows:

Alarm Time, Alarm Type, Acknowledge State, Number of Alarms.

When the "AND" key is pressed, the first line changes to:

Cause, Number of Alarms.

If the Display cause by default option is enabled, the first line is shown as:
