and when the "AND." key is pressed, the first line changes to:

Full Cause, Alarm Time, Number of Alarms.

The Cause Preview consists of the first section of the Full Cause.

Note: This setting affects ALL events, network or local, shown on the local F3200. It does not affect the format of information sent to other F3200s on a network, or to RDUs. Each of those devices will display alarms consistent with their own programming options and capabilities.

FFCIF option Always flash non-MAF alarm LEDs – enable/disable

This option is available with V2.07 or later software. By default this is disabled. If enabled the zone LED (if any) for a non-MAF zone will flash when a new alarm occurs on the zone. This allows the alarm to appear as an unacknowledged alarm at an RDU which may be showing the alarm in its FF alarm list. At an RDU, each zone can be programmed as to whether it should be entered into the RDU FF alarm list when the zone goes into alarm. This allows the choice of whereabouts in the system particular zone alarms are displayed.

FFCIF option Always send RDU non-MAF FF alarms – enable/disable

This option is available with V2.07 or later software. This is disabled by default.

If enabled, alarms on all zones are sent to the RDU as displayable FF alarms. The RDU then has the choice of which alarms it displays. In V2.06 or earlier software, a displayable FF alarm was sent to an RDU only if the alarm was entered into the F3200’s FF alarm list.

All zones isolated (Standby Operation)

AS1603.4 suggests that the Standby relay should de-energise if all zones are isolated. This function may be disabled if allowed by the local Fire Brigade.

Brigade Test

Brigade Test normally energises the MAF Alarm relay when the Brigade Test key on the FIP (or RZDU) is pressed for 2 seconds. This function may be disabled if the Fire Brigade does not permit it.

Note that if an output logic equation is programmed for the Alarm relay, (e.g. a special test sequence) this parameter has no effect (except for networked systems). (Refer to BGT token in Section 7.4.3).

For network systems, if the MAF alarm relay is programmed to operate for local brigade test then this also means that the MAF status transmitted onto the network will include a brigade test state of TRUE when a local FIP (or RZDU) brigade test is done. If the local MAF alarm relay is programmed not to operate for local brigade test then the brigade test state transmitted onto the network is always FALSE. If a brigade test state of TRUE is received from another panel on the network and this panel is programmed to use the MAF status of that panel then the local MAF alarm relay and LED will operate regardless of the programming of the local brigade test parameter.
