Control Levels
Level Distinction

The D8024, D9024 and D10024 each have three available control levels. At all three levels the LED Display
indicates condition, the ZONE/AREA LEDs indicate location and detailed alarm/trouble information is displayed
alphanumerically.

Control Level One, the Display Level, inhibits the system control keys, limiting the front panel function to
annunciation.

Control Level Two, the Controller Level, allows system control for Fire Drill, Alarm Silence, Trouble Silence, and
System Reset; and allows Test and Enable/Disable operations, but does not allow access to configuration or
programming functions. At Level Two, the Alphanumeric Display becomes interactive and prompts for system
checks, log functions, and key status. Level Two is reached by entering a pass code from Level One.

Control Level Three, the programmers level, allows full system configuration information and is used to program or
modify the system program.

5.2

Passcodes

Ten passcodes are available for D8024, D9024 and D10024 Controllers. Passcodes are programmable. Level Two
passcodes are assigned or changed from Level Three and will not allow access to Level Three. See
Option 4) Passwords on Commission Menu Two for information on assigning Level Two Passcodes.
The default Level 2 passcode is 9898, which is the same passcode for Level 3. Be sure to change
the Level 2 passcode in order to provide a higher level of panel security. See Section 11.5 to
modify the Level 2 passcode.

The Level 3 passcode is 9898. In order to provide a higher level of panel security, make sure only
authorized personnel have access to the passcodes for Levels 2 and 3.

Memory Lock Check

The display prompts Memory Lock Check [Yes] OK? Press YES to confirm. In normal operation, the
panel buzzer will sound if the memory is left unlocked. This may be inconvenient during some
programming operations. Changing the Memory Lock Check to [No] allows the operator to exit the system
configuration and resume normal operation with the memory unlocked without the buzzer sounding. See
Figure 3 for the location of the memory lock switch on the D8024, D9024 and D10024. Press YES to
confirm and move to the final Setup option.

Log Mode Settings

Whenever the system is powered up, the Event Log is automatically set to normal. During setup, it can be set to
either the diagnostic mode or the normal mode. The panel will not initiate a Trouble or Alarm until a device fails
three successive polls. This reduces the chance that line interference or a faulty detector will lead to an alarm. The
panel logs system events in the normal mode.

The panel reads every event in the diagnostic mode, including single response failures from devices. The panel also
performs a circuit integrity test every minute while in the diagnostic mode. This test checks to see if the panel can
read every device from either end of the circuit. If the panel finds a break in a circuit, it logs it in the Event Log (see
Section 8.4, System Operation, of the D8024 Operators Guide or Section 8.4, Operators Menu, of the
D9024/D10024 Operators Guide). A break in a circuit will result in two entries identified as Break Test 1 and
Break Test 2, which will identify the device(s) that have not replied to the panels poll.

From the Log Settings submenu, use the NO key to toggle between normal and diagnostic prompts, and the YES
key to accept the prompt.

Exiting the Setup Menu

Pressing the YES key at the Log Settings submenu returns the display to Commission Menu Three. Press NO to
return to Commission Menu One. Lock the memory by moving the Memory Lock Switch to the up position. Select
Option 3) NORMAL OPERATION. The display will return to normal.

System Configuration, Peripherals

Peripheral Devices (controllers and annunciators) are input and output devices connected to the D9051 RS-485
Module in Port D. The panel names the RS-485 circuit Loop P. The panel supports up to 126 addresses that
peripheral devices can be assigned to. D9070 Controllers signal a manual alarm or trouble condition with Alarm or
System Trouble LED indications, panel and device buzzer, and 40-character text display at the device and at the
panel. The ALARM and TROUBLE LED in the zone/area LED display will not light. D9069 Annunciators do not
have addresses on this circuit (they repeat panel information but do not communicate with the panel). A D9069
Annunciator in a fault condition will signal its condition at the device but not at the panel. A D9073 High Integrity RS485 Bus Module functions as an RS-485 signal regenerator and booster. When multiple D9073 modules are
connected together, a high integrity RS-485 circuit is created. A D9078 is used to provide an LED logic driver for
graphic displays.
When using the D9070 Fire System Controller on the D9024 or D10024 systems operating on
software revisions earlier than 6.10-UO, Peer-to-Peer must be set to True. If this prompt is set to
False, then the system control keys will not function after being disabled. This prompt can also

Positive Alarm Sequence in NFPA 72, 1993, Section 3-8.3..

The D8024, D9024 and D10024 panels can be commissioned to automatically invoke different operating modes
according to the time of day. Each mode has adjustable start and finishing times. The operating modes available
are summarized in Table 8:
Table 8: Operating Modes
Operating Mode

Delayed Mode

During the day/night, the alarm signal from detectors is immediately recognized and identified on the
panel display, but no outputs turn on until stage 1/ stage 2 timers have expired. Manual pull stations
override this mode.

Sensitivity Mode

Allows smoke and temperature detectors to use different pre-alarm and fire alarm thresholds during
the day/night.

Verification Mode (available

on software version 563)

Allows smoke detectors to tolerate transient alarms according to the programmed verification delay
time during either day or night.

To return to the Main Menu after configuring the relays, press No to return to the Configure Submenu. Press No
again to return to Commission Menu 2. Then press 3) Normal Operations to return to the Main Menu.

The Delayed Mode inserts a two-stage delay between the time the panel recognizes an alarm condition and the time
it activates notification appliances. After entering 1) Delayed Mode, the display prompts, Allow mode ? Press
Yes. The display then prompts, Start at 0:00 ? By pressing Yes, the panel will then ask what time the Delayed
Mode should start and end. If either prompts are incorrect, press No, then enter the correct times.

After setting the start and end times for the Delayed Mode, the display will then prompt, Stage 1 time = 60 seconds
OK? If the Stage 1 timer is as shown in Figure 62, the panel will go into a full fire condition within 60 seconds of the
sensor exceeding the preset threshold level. The panel buzzer sounds during this period, and the sensor location is
shown on the alphanumeric display with a warning that the panel has entered Stage 1 of a delayed alarm.
Stage 1: Full alarm. Stage 2: Delay time before bells.

Figure 62: Stage Timer Menu One

Stage 1 is acknowledged at the panel by pressing the Trouble Silence key. This starts Stage 2. Press Yes to
accept the Stage 1 timer prompt. To change the Stage 1 time, press No and enter a value between 1 and 600
seconds. Press Yes.
Radionics recommends that Stage 1 not exceed 15 seconds or Stage 2 not exceed 180 seconds.
The display prompts for time in seconds for Stages 1 and 2.

The display will then prompt for the Stage 2 time. The Stage 1 timer and the Stage 2 timer both start counting as
soon as the panel recognizes an alarm condition. Setting the Stage 2 timer for a longer period than the Stage 1
timer allows for time to investigate the cause of the alarm and take appropriate action before the panel activates an
alarm. The panel activates a full alarm condition if the panel is not reset by the time the Stage 2 timer has expired.
Press Yes to accept the Stage 2 timer prompt. To change the Stage 2 time, press No and enter a value between 1
and 600 seconds. Then press the Yes key. The display prompts for zones to be used in the Delay Mode.

Figure 63: Delayed Mode Zone Assignment

Figure 63 shows that zones 1 through 12 will not use the Day Mode. The panel will activate indicator devices
immediately on determining an alarm condition exists. Change the items in the brackets by using the < and >
keys to select the item and typing over with the desired number. Use the Change key to toggle between [FALSE]
and [TRUE]. At the end of the Delayed Mode settings, the display returns to Commission Menu 3.

8.2

Sensitivity Mode
Assign alternate thresholds to individual detector devices in the polling circuit configuration
procedure before setting Day Mode sensitivity.

The sensitivity of both heat and smoke detectors can be adjusted by adjusting the threshold at which pre-alarm and
fire alarm signals are generated. These alternative thresholds are programmed to operate only at certain times of
the day. The thresholds will return to normal levels at all other times.
The Sensitivity Mode should only be used in certain specialized applications and with great care.
The default mode is for all detectors to default to the manufacturers recommended alarm level.

Select Day Mode from Commission Menu 3, then Sensitivity Mode.

Figure 64: Path Through Commission Menus to Sensitivity Mode

The display will prompt, Allow mode? Press Yes. The display will then ask for start and end times. There is no
restriction on the range of times entered. Any special pre/fire alarm entered for devices will then be used within the
specified time period. By pressing No, the Sensitivity Mode will be inhibited, and the display will return to
Commission Menu 3.

8.3

Verification Mode

Alarm verification can be used to reduce false alarms by placing a delay on a transient alarm signal received by a
smoke detector. This delay can be set when commissioning the panel. When an alarm is first received from a
smoke detector, the panel will start an internal timer and attempt to reset the detector. If the detector is still in
alarm after the verification timer has expired, the control panel will go into alarm. If the detector is not in alarm at this
point, the panel will enter a 60 second confirmation period. Any alarm received during the confirmation period will
be understood as a genuine fire alarm.

Select Day Mode from Commission Menu 3, then press 3) Verification Mode.

Figure 65: Path Through Commission Menus to Verification Mode

After pressing 3) Verification Mode, the display will prompt, Allow mode ? Press Yes and set the desired start
and end times. By pressing No, the display returns to Commission Menu 3.
According to NFPA guidelines, the alarm verification feature should not be used as a substitute for
proper detector location/applications or regular system maintenance. Alarm verification features
are intended to reduce the frequency of false alarms caused by transient conditions. They are not
intended to compensate for design errors or lack of maintenance. Keep the verification delay to a
minimum (60 seconds absolute maximum).

The display will prompt, Verification delay = 0s? Enter the desired delay (see above NFPA guidelines for
maximum times). At the end of the Verification Mode settings, the display returns to Commission Menu 3. Lock the
memory and press No to return the panel to normal operation.

System Events
All System Events apart from the General events are normally programmed from a PC. Consult
the D9060 PC Programming Guide (P/N: 38647) for details.

System Events provide a flexible way of performing more complex cause-and-effect programming than that available
from the standard zone programming. Most systems do not require system events. Individual detectors can be
made to generate system events. Entry by way of a PC is strongly recommended if many detectors are to generate
events. If there are only a small number to enter, then this can be done directly from the Device change option on
any of the loops.

Event numbers can be any number from 1 to 200. Event number 0 is used to denote an unused event input or
output. The events can be shared over a network of panels if required by setting the Network, System Events to be
[Global]. For example, the operation of a manual pull station on Panel 1, Loop 2, Address 3 in one building is
required to energize a smoke control fan connected to Relay 2 on Panel 6. The steps to achieve this would be as
follows:

A.

At Panel 1, add an arbitrary system event number (for example, 20) to the manual call station.

B.

At Panel 6, allocate the smoke control fan output to System Event 20.

Check that both panels have Network option set for System Events to be global.

Analog Fire Alarm Control Panels Programming Guide

38789B 11/98

Most system events are latched and held until the panel is reset. Transient system events will automatically be
removed once the device that caused the event is restored to its normal condition. Input devices with action set to
non-latched create transient events. A transient event is held local to the panel of origin - it is not transmitted over
the network.

The Event Menu gives the following options:

Figure 66: System Events Submenu

9.1

General Events

This option allows special system event operation on several general functions as shown below. Any item set to
Event 0 means that this item is not in use.
Table 9: General Events
General System Event Name

When the Event is Generated

Fault Event

Detection of a fault.

Pre-Alarm Event

Any detector entering a pre-alarm condition.

Delayed Day Mode Event

Detection of a fire in a delayed-day mode (for example, when a panel enters Stage 1).

Local Fire Event

Any detector connected to the panel entering a fire condition.

Common Fire Event

Any panel connected to the panel entering a fire condition.

Silence Event (1)

When the external alarms are silenced.

AC Fail Event

When the AC timer has expired (see section 7.2 Calibration Time Setting).

Reset Event

Generated when the panel is reset.

Simple Coincidence Event

When any 2 devices enter a fire condition (this is independent of device type).

The Silence Event is automatically created as non-latching. The event is removed when silence is
canceled (for example, by resounding the alarms or resetting the panel). A Reset Event is
transient. It is removed 15 seconds after the panel has reset.

9.2

Event Logic
A PC is essential for programming Event Logic. Consult the D9060 PC Programming Guide (P/N:
38647) for details.

The System Event Logic allows complex logic sequences to be programmed into the fire panel. The logic modes
support both AND (coincidence) and OR functions on events, together with timers adjustable in 1 second steps
up to 999 seconds. The logic display allows any event sequence uploaded form the PC to be inspected on the
panel.

9.3

Define Event Outputs

Using a PC is strongly recommended when defining events. Consult the D9060 PC Programming
Guide (P/N: 38647) for details.

All output devices can have 2 system events directly assigned to them. A relay style device will turn on if either of
the assigned events occur. A sounder style device will turn on if the primary event occurs (shown as Event-A) or
will pulse if only the secondary event occurs (shown as Event-B). The Define Outputs display option allows the
events assignments to be inspected and changed if required. Press the No key to terminate this display option.
