V2.07 or later software

•Enablement of Keys in 4 Operating States

V2.07 or later software allows each keyboard key to be enabled or disabled in each of 4 operating states. This allows the keyboard functionality to be configured for each different installation. It is recommended that the key enablement feature in V2.07 not be used (upgrade to V2.08 or higher).

A use for this feature might be to disable specific keys such as BELLS ISOL and ANCIL ISOL where they are not required, or to disable RESET and ISOL keys in FF mode so that the user cannot reset or isolate the alarms. The options for disabling the BELLS ISOL and ANCIL ISOL keys in earlier software have been removed in V2.07 onwards.

Another use is for an NDU to have selected keys enabled when the door is closed.

The four states and the default key enablements are :

 

1

-

FF mode with door open

- default all keys enabled

2

-

FF mode with door closed

- default all keys disabled

3

-

Non FF mode with door open

- default all keys enabled

4

-

Non FF mode with door closed

- default all keys disabled

"FF mode" refers to when the FFCIF alarm list is being displayed. When FF mode is active, the principal keys used are those enclosed in the red border on the keypad - ACK, RESET, ISOL, NEXT and PREV. BELLS ISOL and ANCIL ISOL are possibly also used in FF mode.

Non-FF mode refers to operation when the FF alarm list is not being displayed.

When the panel is in program mode or has a database checksum error, all keys are automatically enabled. Also, if the database write protect link is in the enable position then the SET key, NUMERIC keys and CLEAR key are automatically enabled to allow entry to program mode. For a Tandem LCD connection, all "remote" keys are automatically enabled.

Note that disabling a particular key does not prevent a particular function from being done another way e.g. if the ISOL key is disabled, a zone can still be isolated by pressing the ZONE key from the base display and using the menu option. Enabling RECALL, NEXT, PREV, CLEAR, ACK and NUMERIC keys and disabling ZONE, ISOL, RESET, RELAY, TEST, ALARM TEST, and FAULT TEST keys allows recall of information without allowing reset, isolate, test or programming functions. Enabling the SET key allows the time and date to be set but also allows access to the "boards present" function which may not be desirable.

The RECALL key generally allows recall of off-normal states but can also be used to display the status of any zone or point by selecting zone or point from the menu then selecting the "status" option.

After the keys enable option has been selected from the menu, one of the four modes can then be chosen. There are 5 "pages" of options for each mode which can be stepped through using the NEXT and PREV keys. Pressing the EDIT key at this point displays the currently selected mode and allows all keys for the selected mode to be enabled or disabled with a single command.
