Cabinet Options
Surface Cabinets Cabinet colour reference is
RAL 7035 textured (Light Grey) All cabinets
are manufactured from sheet steel and finished in
satin texture epoxy powder stove paint.
Semi-Flush Cabinets The semi-flush bezel
locates to the rear of the bevelled edge of the
back box, leaving the bevelled edge and door
raised out from the wall. It is finished in the
same colour as the back box and is fitted by
means of pinch bolts, thus avoiding the need to
drill the cabinet. Fully Flush Cabinet
(Illustrated) Custom-made to a high quality,
full-flush bezels are available in brass,
stainless steel, or painted. This option is
achieved by fixing a flat bezel assembly to the
standard back box, replacing the standard door.
The panel comes with assembly already fitted but
may be supplied for later on-site fitting (this
may be a little time-consuming).
For details of panel dimensions see Application
Guide.

set up, zones, text, local and network
cause/effect, Discovery mode types, sensitivity
levels and day/night timings.

Discovery Mode-change Maps

• The discovery panel provides the engineer with
  the facility to set a mode sensitivity map for
• Day use - for example, less sensitive in some
  process areas during working hours
• Night use - for example, maximum sensitivity
  throughout entire building when not in use
• Default - ignore day/night sensitivity maps, set
  to XP95 equivalent
• The engineer may set up each device into a day
  map, and night map, and set the clock (week day
  or weekend options) to switch between them

17
Discovery Mode-change Maps

• The end user may easily select between
• Day mode - manually holds all devices in the Day
  mode setting
• Night Mode - Manually holds all devices in Night
  mode setting
• Automatic - Day/Night mode determined by clock
• Off - To manually set all devices to default
  (XP95 equivalent)

18
Discovery Temporary Mode Changes

• Loop outstation inputs may be configured to
  change Discovery Multi-sensor modes.
• Applications -
• Loading Bays - As a lorry enters, smoke detection
  may be temporarily disabled
• Theatre Stages - Stage hand may operate key
  switch to de-activate smoke detection at
  performance times
• Hotel Function Rooms - Keyswitch at room entrance
  to disable smoke detection during special events
• Smoke Cloak Security - Multisensor smoke elements
  may be disabled when the
  smoke cloak is activated

19
Networking

• All talk - selective listen
• No Master panel or P.C. required and thus no
  single Device of failure
• Up to 15 active panels or 60 loops may be
  networked together plus an
  additional 17 passive nodes
• Discovery panels, Voyager panels, network
  repeaters and Alarm Manager
  graphics systems

individually tailored to customers requirements
and is configured with password protection.
The event priority and thus its display colour
are determined by the nature of the event.
The site procedure pages give user instructions
for each type of event.
User controls are configured if required via
password set-up. Multi-level password protection
may be configured for each type of function.
Up to 5 map pages may be allocated for each
individual device on the network (4 allocated
here). Map pages may be used for drawings or
specific instructions as required.
Instantly accessible current event log.
23
Typical Radio Pager Configuration
The radio pager system, when connected to the
control panel, can be used to transmit both text
and numeric messages direct to pocket pagers.

status of each device may be interrogated, device
LEDs may be turned on/off. The test tool may be
connected to an entire loop without the panel
connected or connected to individual devices
around the circuit.
