Introduction
General Remarks

Purpose This section describes the procedures to handle spontaneous appearing events and how to
operate the full range of possible functions of this fire detection system.

Main focus It mainly deals with the question 'how' is something done. Therefore for all topics a brief step-
by-step instruction is provided.

Additional in- ☞ More information to understand this fire detection system in detail can be found in the
formation "Basic System Knowledge &" section beginning at page 81.

Before starting To get a better understanding on how to use these operating instructions please read the
topics "State and Configuration Dependency" and "Browsing Methods" on the following pa-
i ges.

Fire & Security Products 11.2002

 Operating Instructions ➊➋➌

State and Configuration Dependency

What is the The menus depend on configuration, system state and access level, i.e. they may look
effect? slightly different from the figures in this manual.

Similarly some procedures depend on the actual system state and configuration.

Example An example to clarify the meaning of state dependency:

for state
dependency E.g. a softkey may be
<Zone -> OFF> if the specific zone is ON

and it changes to
<Zone -> ON> if the zone is switched OFF

Additionally it may even change to call a submenu if there are mixed states.

E.g. on section level a softkey may be:

<All DETECTOR zones -> OFF> if all zones are ON

or
<All DETECTOR zones -> ON> if all zones are OFF

This softkey changes to

<DETECTOR zones ON/OFF functions..> if not all zones are in the
same state

calling a submenu with these two entries

<All DETECTOR zones -> OFF> to switch all zones OFF

<All DETECTOR zones -> ON> to switch all zones ON

 Operating Instructions ➊➋➌

Browsing Methods

Concept The AlgoRex system uses an object oriented operation concept, i.e. the available functional-
ity is determined by the features of the current object (e.g. a specific node in the logical or
physical tree).

You first have to specify the object which shall be handled. Then the available functionality
results from the selected object.

So you always have to select a specific node (this is called: you 'browse to a node') and then
you decide what has to be done with it.

Example You want to switch off a zone:

1. You get to that specific 'detector zone' node. There you will have all functions available for
'detector zone' nodes (these functions differ from that of other nodes).

2. Then you select the function to switch off that zone.

Browsing There are three different possibilities to get to a specific node:

methods
• Tree browsing
• Direct access via address
• Direct access via message

In this document the 'Tree browsing' method is used to set a specific state. To reset back to
i the original state, whenever possible the 'Direct access via message' method is used.

Tree browsing Browsing always starts on top level of the (inverse) tree and follows the branches down to
the desired node.

The accessible nodes are determined by the current access level.

This is the most universal method and can always be utilized.

Example A zone shall be switched off:

1. You navigate to the specific zone, using the following softkeys:

<Operate..>
▼
<Browse..>
▼
<Browse FIRE DETECTION..>
▼
<Select SECTION¯>
▼
<Select ZONE¯>

2. Now all available functions are displayed and the zone can be switched off by selecting
the softkeys <Zone -> OFF..> and <OFF>

 Operating Instructions ➊➋➌

Browsing Methods, Continued

Direct access Three different addresses can be used:

via address • CSX number
• Plan number
• Group and address number

This method can only be used if the required address information is known. It may be avail-
able on the display or written to the detectors or be known from floor plans.
The availability off address information on the display can be configured by the service engi-
neer

Example A zone shall be switched off. It's CSX number is 01/003/006/001.

1. You get to the required direct access menu by using the following softkeys:

<Operate..>
▼
<Direct access..>
▼
<Enter LOGICAL ADDRESS (CSX)..>

2. Now you are prompted by the following message to enter the CSX number:

Enter CSX NUMBER

AA/SSS/ZZZ/EEE

v (The cursor moves automatically

01/003/006/___ with each number entered.)

3. After having completed the entry, select softkey <Jump to> or press <✓ >. The selected
node and all available functions are displayed.

4. Now you can continue by selecting the softkeys <Zone -> OFF..> and <OFF>

Direct access Using this method always makes sense if a specific message of the abnormal state is visible
via message in one of the 4 message categories (Alarms, Faults, Isolation, Information).

It is the quickest accessing method.

Example A zone which is in the off state shall be switched on. This zone has generated an 'Isolation'
message:

1. Press key <Isolation> to select this message (eventually message scrolling may be re-
quired)

2. Then select softkey <Functions for sel. message..>: All available functions are displayed

3. Now the zone can be switched on by selecting the softkeys <ON/OFF functions..> and
<Zone -> ON>.

In mode 'Renovation', interactive automatic detectors are much less sensitive. This may be
required while unusual work is in progress (e.g. during renovation of a building).

The fire detection system remains working, the remote transmission of alarm and fault mes-
sages is enabled.

Detectors in the mode ’Renovation’ are from the insurance and approval point of view out of
order. This is why the ’isolation’ message is generated.

Menu Types and Characteristics

Introduction The menu consists of two main levels:

• 'Primary menu'
• 'Main menu'

Menus may be extended by

• Submenus
• Extended menus

The menu is displayed in the lower part of the display.

It may consist of a maximum of 6 softkeys. They are arranged both up to 3 to the left and to
the right side.

Characteristics • By default the primary menu is displayed.

of the menus • The menus are state and context dependent, i.e. they depend on the actual state of the
system (e.g. normal operation, alarm, ...) and on the selected message.
• Only functions allowed to the user are displayed in the menus.
• Menus with too many items to display on the same level get an associated extended
menu.
• Functions may also be grouped in submenus.
• The menu has a tree structure of varying depth.
• Navigation softkeys allow to switch from one menu to another.
• In each menu at least one softkey is a navigation softkey.

Naming of The name of the softkey explains the functionality behind it. It may be a function which is
softkeys executed immediately, e.g. <LED TEST> or it may lead to a submenu, e.g. <HARDWARE
level..>, with another set of functions behind.
There are also some predefined navigation softkeys.

Softkey • Softkeys which are followed by 2 dots (..) signify that there is another menu behind.
presentation Example: <Operate..>, <HARDWARE level..>

• Softkeys without these dots are commands which are immediately executed.
Example: <LED TEST>, <Back to MAIN MENU>

Primary menu By default the primary menu is displayed. The softkeys vary depending on the state of the
system:

With message(s)
Without messages
Alarm message other message

Menu Types and Characteristics, Continued

Main menu The main menu consists of up to 6 predefined softkeys. One of them is the navigation soft-
key <Escape>, which leads back to the primary menu. With the other 5 softkeys all available
functions of the system can be accessed.

Left softkeys Right softkeys

Direct access..

Settings.. Browse..
Alarming.. Escape

Submenu Softkeys which are followed by 2 dots (..) lead to a submenu. As well as the primary or the
main menu a submenu can contain softkeys for executable functions or softkeys to access
others submenus.
Submenus denote a hierarchy. This leads to a menu tree.

Extended menu If there are too many functions on the same hierarchical level to be displayed, the menu may
be extended. This is not an extension like a submenu, for all softkeys still are on the same
hierarchical level.

State depend- The menu only shows allowed functions. It also considers the state of the actual part of the
ency system, e.g. zones.

Example:

Commands to switch zones depending on the actual state:

Mixed states of zones

IF all zones = ON IF all zones = OFF IF
in that section

All DETECTOR zones All DETECTOR zones DETECTOR zones

-> OFF -> ON ON/OFF functions..

THEN
The zones are switched immediately
with these commands

All DETECTOR zones

-> ON
All DETECTOR zones
-> OFF

THEN
The zones are switched via

Menu Navigation

Introduction This chapter describes how to navigate on the different menu levels and how to change from
one level to another.

Operating If there is no operating access when starting to operate, the system asks to log in.
access

Navigation • You can change from primary menu to main menu and vice versa.
paths • From the main menu you can enter into submenus which may call other submenus.
• From a submenu you can return back either to the calling level or directly to the main
menu.
• Within extended menus you can switch back and forth.
• There are some predefined navigation softkeys.

Primary and To get to the main menu select softkey <Operate..>.

Main menu To go back to primary menu select softkey <Escape>.

Accessing To operate messages in the display, select the specific message by using the category se-
message spe- lection keys and the display scroll keys. Then select softkey <Functions for sel. mes-
cific functions sage..> to get the menu with all available functions for that specific message.

Example: As many submenus exist, it does not make sense, to list all possible submenus. But let's
have an example:
Entering a Via main menu we can enter submenu <Alarming..> and from there go to submenu <Alarm
submenu horns..>, where we have access to the following functions:
• <Alarm horn -> START>
• <Alarm horn -> TEST>
• <Alarm horn -> OFF>

Returning from The navigation softkeys to go back to the calling menu depend on the context. But at least
a submenu one navigation softkey (<Back> or <Back to MAIN MENU>) is included in a submenu.

Extended menu To switch back and forth within the hierarchical equal functions the softkeys
<More functions..> and <Previous functions..> are provided. This is comparable to scroll-
ing on a display.

Logout

What is it? Logout sets the access level back to access level 1.

How to log out? There are 3 kinds of logout:

• Logout by timeout
• Logout by keyboard
• Logout by key
Explicit logout is only required if logged in by key. It is not necessary if logged in by pass-
word. Nevertheless it may be used to enforce a logout.

Logout by Operating is inhibited automatically if no key is pressed within a certain time (timeout = 1..10
timeout minutes or 0. Timeout = 0 means: no logout timeout. Timeout is set by the service engineer).
Of course there is no automatic logout if the key is in horizontal position.

Logout by Key- This picture shows how an explicit logout can be enforced (if the key is not in horizontal posi-
board tion).

mode for ?

Automatic fire Automatic fire detectors are actuated with a special detector tester.
detectors Interactive detectors are set to the special parameter set ’Test’ in order to achieve a fast ac-
tivation with the detector tester.

Manual call Manual call points are activated depending on the type:
points • From externally without breaking the glass pane or opening the housing.
• Simply by opening the door of the manual call point.

Test alarm Test alarm is the active state of automatic fire detectors or manual call points in 'Detector
test' mode. A test alarm does not generate a danger message in the control panel. That
means that neither acoustical alarm devices nor remote transmission or any other control
functions are activated.

Test alarms are recorded in the event memory and logged spontaneously, if a printer is con-
nected.

Recommenda- • Perform the function test periodically. The interval of this test is determined by the service
tions for detec- engineer.
tor test • Switch only the fire detectors of one SECTION at a time to 'Detector test', never the entire
building.
• For manual call points the function test needs to be performed only based on a spot-
check.
• Test automatic fire detectors and manual call points of the same room always separately.
• Do not set them to 'Detector test' simultaneously.
• After the test work has been completed immediately cancel the mode 'Detector test'.

Test timeout A timeout can be programmed per zone after which the zone switches back from operation
mode 'Test' to the previously selected mode.
