Working with Jobs
Introduction A job is a file that contains specific programming and configuration information for the FACP.
This chapter explains the basics surrounding creating and saving jobs, however, it is important
to consult the following chapter in this document, Panel Information and Configuration, for
crucial information on how to configure and program the job.

In this chapter Creating Jobs ...................................3-1 Opening Existing Jobs .....................3-2

Setting Job Preferences....................3-2 Job Notes .........................................3-3
Saving Jobs ......................................3-3 Building a Job ..................................3-3
Archiving a Job................................3-4 Backing Up a Job.............................3-4

Creating Jobs When the programmer is opened on a computer for the first time, a prompt window will
appear automatically requesting that the user create a job. If a job has been previously saved
on the programmer it will automatically open when the programmer is started.
To create a new job:
1. Start the ES Panel Programmer:
• If this is the first job saved for the FACP, the New Job window will open automatically.
• If a previous job opens, click on the New icon or select New from the File menu to
open the New Job window.
2. In the New Job window, select the job type: 4007, Small Panel.
3. Enter the job number. The job name should be 8 characters long and start with a number.
• Year. This is a two-digit field. Use the last two digits of the current year to indicate the year
in which the job was programmed.
• Month. This is a single character field. Use the numbers and letters shown in the example
below to indicate the month in which the job was programmed. See Table 3-1.
• File Type. This field is a single letter, used to indicate the panel type. There is currently
only a single supported type.
• Number. This is a three-digit field used to track how many of a specific job type have been
programmed during the month. For example, if the File type is 4100ES, enter the number
of 4100ES jobs programmed during the month.
• Job Version. When archiving a job, you can use letters to differentiate the jobs once they
have been archived. For example, once job 103E123A is archived, new edits should be
saved to 103E123B.

4. Select the path to the file in which the job will be stored.
Note: It is preferable that the default folder C:\4100UJOBS be used for job storage.

Opening Existing To open an existing job:

Jobs 1. Start the ES Panel Programmer.
2. Click on the Open icon or select Open from the File menu to access the Open window.
3. If the FACP jobs are not stored in the default directory, navigate the folder where the jobs are
stored.
4. Open the job’s folder. It will have the same name as the job.
5. Once in the folder, open the “.SDB4100U” file.

Setting Job To set the job preferences:

Preferences 1. Once in the job, open the Edit menu and select Preferences.
2. The Preference window opens and allows the user to configure the following options:
• Job: Click on the Reload Job checkbox to automatically reload the last saved job each
time you start the programmer.
• Toolbar Icon Size: Use to select large or small icons for the programmer toolbar.
• Checklist: Two preference settings exist for this option.
- Reminder: If this box is selected, the programmer generates a reminder dialog
each time you exit a screen whose corresponding entry in the Programmer Task
Checklist has not been marked as complete. For example, if you view the
General Information tab and its checklist entry is not marked as complete, the
programmer will ask whether you want to mark the task as complete when you
exit the screen.
- Build Warning. Attempting to build a job when all mandatory checklist tasks
are not marked as complete causes the programmer to generate warning
messages in the job builder screen.
• Default Central Station Email Address: This option allows you to set the default
central station email address used by a per point SDACT. The address that you enter
here will automatically appear in the email address field of the SDACT card's
programming screen.
• Report Print Cover page: Select this box so that a cover page is printed with every
report.
• Editing Allow mixed case labels (non-English jobs only): This option is made to
accommodate languages’ characteristics.
3. Click on OK once all the options are set.

Working with Jobs

Job Notes To leave a note for the job on the programmer:

1. Once in the job, either click on the Notes icon or open the Tool menu and select Notes.
2. The Notes window opens and the user can type in relevant job notes. These notes will be
saved with the job for future reference.

Saving Jobs There are two saving options in the programmer, Save and Save As. The Save option is used to
save the job in progress, the Save As option is used to save the job with a new name.
To save a job with Save:
• Click on the Save icon.
• Open the Edit menu and click on the Save option.
Note: When you click on the save option, the programmer overwrites the previous information and there is
no way to backtrack to the previous job.
To save a job with Save As:
1. Open the Edit menu and click on the Save As option.
2. Select either the Copy option or the Rename option:
• Copy: This option saves a copy of the currently open job under a new name in a new
directory. This option allows you to open and reuse the previous version.
• Rename: This option saves the job under a new name and deletes the content of the
previous job folder. For example, if a user renames job 333 as job 444, a new job
folder named 444 will appear and the job folder 333 will be empty.
Note: Conventionally, performing a Save As > Copy will be the first action a technician will take when
opening an existing job to create a new revision. This way if complications arise, the technician can
always return to the previously saved revision.

Building a Job A job needs to be “built” before it can be downloaded. This process transforms the .SDB file
into a CFIG file that is compatible with the FACP.
Note: All configuration options and panel information must be complete before building the job. Any errors
detected during the build will abort the process.
To build a job:
1. Open the job.
2. Start the build by either clicking on the Build icon or by selecting the Build item from the
Build menu.
3. The Revision History window appears and the user must enter:
• Their name.
• A brief description of the edits that were made to the current revision.
Once the information has been entered click on OK.
4. The Job Builder window then appears and displays all the elements in the job and their build
status. Once the compilation is complete, the final dialogue in the window will read either:
• Build Complete: This means the build has been successful and the job is ready to be
downloaded to the FACP.
• Build Aborted: This means that errors were found while the job was being built and
that the job build was aborted. The errors that caused the job to abort are listed in the
Job Builder window.

System Requirements

Archiving a Job Once a job is archived, it is saved as a read-only .SDA4100U file that can no longer be opened
for editing.
To archive a job:
1. Save the job.
2. Open the Edit menu and click on the Archive menu item.
3. The Programmer Archive Utility window opens and requests that the user name the file and
select the directory to which the file will be saved.
4. Click on Archive. A progress meter appears, showing the progress of the operation. When
this bar disappears, the archive operation is complete. The archived file is saved as
.SDA4100U.
To open an archived file:
1. Open the File menu and click on the Restore menu item.
2. The Programmer Restore Utility window opens. Use the Look In search box to locate the
archived file.
3. Once the file is located, click on it so that its name appears in the File Name box.
4. Click on Continue.
5. The Browse for Folder window appears and requires that the user select the directory and
file to which the file will be restored. It is recommended to use the 4100UJOB Folder.
6. If a file with that name already exists, the user will be prompted to:
• Overwrite the existing file
• Rename the file
• Cancel the operation: This will result in an error file and the programmer will return to
the last saved job.
7. The archived file will then open as a read-only job. To save the job as different version in
the 4100U folder, the user must use the Save As function.

Backing Up a Job Backing up a job creates a compressed version of the job and stores it as a read/writable
.SDC4100U file on either a removable storage medium or a remote disk.
To back up a job:
1. Open the File menu and select the Backup menu item.
2. The Programmer Backup Utility window opens and requests that the user name the file and

Date Format • Select MM-DD-YY dflt for the panel to display the date by month, day, and
year (example: January 4th 2013 = 01-04-13).
• Select DD-MM-YY for the panel to display the date by day, month, and year
(example: January 4th 2001 = 04-01-13).

Time Format • Select 12 Hour dflt for the panel to display the time as “a.m.” and “p.m.”
(example: 6:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m.)
• Select 24 Hour for the panel to display the time on a 24h clock (example:
6:00, 18h00.)

Unit Format • Select Fahrenheit dflt for the panel to display Imperial units.
(example: 96 oF, 6 ft)
• Select Centigrade for the panel to display Metric units.
(example: 36 oC, 1.83 m)

Acknowledge • Select Global acknowledgedfl to allow every point reporting the same alarm
Option state (alarm, trouble, priority 2, or supervisory condition) to be
acknowledged at once by pressing the according Acknowledge button.
(Example: If 5 Trouble conditions are present on the system and global
acknowledge is enabled, one press of the Trouble Ack button
acknowledges all five Troubles at the same time.)
• Select Individual Acknowledge to ensure that each point reporting an
alarm state must be acknowledged individually. (example: If five Trouble
conditions are present, you will have to acknowledge each one individually.)

Standard Select the system listing standard. The options are:

• Nonedfl
• UL (US)
• ULC (Canada)

Service Select Service Reset to allow an operator to reset the system even though
Reset the device causing the alarm has not restored to normal.
The typical application for this would be when a malfunctioning initiating
device (detector or sensor consisting of a base and removable head) causes
an alarm, but will not reset even though the off-normal condition is no longer
present. With this option enabled, the head can be removed and the system
(including the local energy masterbox, if provided) can be reset. Without this
option enabled, removing the head will cause the system to abort the reset
because it will not have seen the alarmed point/zone having restored to a
normal state, and it will not be possible to reset the local energy masterbox.
The default setting for this option is disabled.

Annunciator Every card in a 4007ES Panel job must have an associated annunciator number, whether it is an
Numbers annunciator or not. Annunciator numbers are assigned in the following manner. When a new
unit is added to a job, the unit is assigned the next available annunciator number.

When the first annunciator card is added to such a unit, it also assumes the unit's annunciator
number.

As additional annunciators are added to the unit, there are several cases where the annunciators
will share their annunciator numbers. Any additional annunciator cards of the same type added
to the same unit also share this number.
When an additional annunciator card of a different type is added to the unit, that annunciator
card is given an annunciator number distinct from the number assigned to the earlier
annunciator type.
A card’s annunciator number is important for a correct LED Switch operation. For example, a
lamp test switch will only light lamps/LED on cards with the same annunciator number.
Exception to the rules above:
• Internal and external LCD Annunciators require their own annunciator number and
will not share numbers even with their own kind.

Annunciator These rules apply to the annunciator sharing arrangement:

Number Sharing AN Rule 1 - The CPU is annunciator number 0.
Rules AN Rule 2 - Annunciators of the same type in the same unit share annunciator numbers.

Editing Basic All cards, regardless of whether they are the standard system cards (such as the system power
Card Properties supply) or an option card - include the basic properties. The basic card properties are listed
below.
• Card Address. A unique number used to identify the card within the system. This
number must correspond to the card address dip switch settings on the card.
- Address 001 IDNAC/NAC power supply
- Address 002 IDNet and multiloop
- Address 003 Color user interface
Note: It is usually easier to first add the card to the job with the programmer and then set the dip switches
with the address automatically assigned by the programmer.
• Card Custom Label. This field describes the card's function, location, or some other
descriptive text.
• Card Alternate Custom Label. This label will be displayed when the alternate
language is displayed.
• Unit, Box, Bay, and Slot (location). The values shown in the fields reflect the location
in which the card icon was placed when you added it with the programmer. It is
possible to change these values; however, the new values must reflect the new physical
location of the card.
To gain access to the Card Properties dialog, do either of the following:
• Double-click on any card icon in the work area.
• Right-click on any card in the work area. When the list of choices appears, click on
Properties.
A window similar to Figure 5-2 appears.

Figure 5-2. Card Properties Window - Color User Interface shown as example

Edit these fields as follows:

• Enter a descriptive name in the Card Custom Label field.
• Use the Unit, Box, Bay, and Location (slot) fields to change this information if
necessary. If you specify invalid information (for example, attempt to assign a card to a
fully populated bay), the programmer outputs an error message to indicate the
problem.

Viewing, Adding, and Editing Lists
Introduction A list is a group of similar points, sharing a common name, that can be monitored or
controlled as if they were a single point. For example, when you use a switch to turn on a list
populated with control points, all of the points in the list turn on.
The 4007ES FACP includes the following types of lists.

• Automatically Generated, Read-Only System Lists. These lists are created based
on the point type assigned to the point. Points cannot be manually added or deleted
from these lists.
• Automatically Generated, Editable System Lists. These are lists created based on
the point types you assign to the point. These lists are only editable after the automatic
list generation property is turned off for the list.
• User-Defined Lists. Switches, LEDs, and Custom Control equations all make use of
these types of lists. Switches typically control lists made up of control points (relays),
audio NACs, or standard NACs (horns/strobes). LEDs can be programmed to monitor
a list and turn ON when any point in the list activates. Custom Control equations
typically use lists of monitor points to indicate when a specific output action should
occur, and the points affected by the output action are typically specified in a user-
defined list of control points.
• Zone Lists. This option allows you to create up to 512 lists grouping together points
in one defined zone.
This chapter describes the programming of the four list categories, General Lists, WalkTest
Lists, Latching Supv Verification Lists, and Elevator Recall Lists, used by the Panel FACP.
Note: The Alarm Verification Tab can still be accessed through the List Tab, but it cannot be used.

For information on using lists for the Install Mode feature, consult the 4007ES Operator’s
Manual (579-1165).

Managing Points Default custom control programming within the system automatically adds points to system
lists based on their point type, a process known as auto list generation, or autogen. For
example, adding a signal point with the SSIGNAL point type automatically adds the point to
system list L8, Fire Alarm Points Off on Silence.
In some applications, however, you need to turn a system list's autogen property off, so that you
can manually move points into or out of the system list. This is particularly true when editing
WalkTest, Latching Supv Verification, and Elevator Recall groups.
Be aware that when working with the system lists, four icons are used to indicate the status of
the system list.
This symbol represents an auto-generated list with the autogen property turned on. When
autogen is turned on, points cannot be manually moved into or out of the list.
This symbol represents an auto-generated list whose autogen property cannot be altered.
The list is permanently set to autogen on and cannot be edited.
This symbol represents an auto-generated list with the autogen property turned off.

Indicates that the list is not automatically generated.

A system list's autogen property can be turned on and off in one of two places:
• General List Tab. Clicking on the General List tab displays all lists (system and user)
currently defined on the panel. Refer to “Turning Autogen Off and On from the
General List Tab” for specific information on doing this.
• WalkTest, Latching Supv Verification, Elevator Recall Tabs. Each of these tabs
displays a window that allows you to move points into the appropriate lists. Within
each window, you can toggle the autogen property to allow points to be moved into
and out of the lists. Refer to the specific section for information on turning off autogen
for Latching Supv Verification, WalkTest, or elevator recall.

Turning Autogen 1. Click on the List tab at the top of the programmer.

Latching Supv The ES Panel's Latching Supv Verification (LVS DUCT and LVSUPV) feature activates a
Verification supervisory condition when a device crosses the threshold. This means that the supervisory
condition on the panel does not clear until the point restores to normal and a system reset is
performed.
The ES Panel FACP supports both Domestic (United States) and Canadian versions of
supervisory verification. Refer to “Selecting Canadian or Domestic (US) Operation” for
information on enabling the Canadian or domestic version of alarm verification.
Moving Points between Groups
By default, initiating devices with a latching verification point type are initially put in Supv
Verification Group 0.
To put points into other Suvp Verification groups:
1. Open the List Window by selecting the List Tab at the top of the Programmer.
2. Click on the Latching Supv Verification tab at the bottom of the List Window.
3. Click on the Supv Verification group into which you want to move points. Right-click and
select Tag List.
4. Use the mouse or arrow keys to highlight each point you want to move into the group. A
point is selected when a “>>” appears to the left of the point. Repeat this step to select other
points.
Selecting Canadian or Domestic (US) Operation
Canadian alarm verification works somewhat differently from the domestic (US) version.
When you select Canadian operation for the alarm verification feature, the system operates as
follows:

Table 8-1. Canadian/Domestic Operation

Type Operation
Retard Stage. If a point specified within one of the alarm verification lists
enters an alarm state, the system delays the annunciation of the alarm for 15
seconds
Reset Stage. When the 15 second timer expires, the system attempts to reset
Canadian
the initiating device for five seconds.

WalkTest WalkTest allows the function of the system's initiating devices and signals to be tested by a
single person. Conducting a WalkTest requires you to perform the following general steps.
• Step 1. Create WalkTest Groups. The ES Panel supports up to eight WalkTest™
groups. This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest™,
and allows the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group
has a list of monitor points (initiating devices) and a list of the signal circuits that
activate when one of the monitor points within the group activates.
• Step 2. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the
following. Refer to the 4007ES Operator's Manual (579-1165) for information on
setting these options.
- Which WalkTest Group is enabled.
- Whether the group's signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group
activates. Turn this option off to perform a silent WalkTest on the system.
- Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to
perform a silent WalkTest.)
• Step 3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals.
Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using the manufacturer’s
recommended test equipment. Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with
the lowest IDNet address and work toward the highest). Each time you activate an
initiating device, the system’s signals pulse a code that allows you to verify exactly
which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the signal
code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight,
the signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet devices, the first set of
pulses from the signals correspond to the channel. The signals then pause momentarily
and the next set of pulses corresponds to the number of the device on the channel. For
example, if you activate an IDNet smoke detector with an address of M1-25, the
signals would sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a short duration, and then
sound two pulses followed by a pause and then five pulses to indicate device 25. In
some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may
also want to verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble
on the device and then listen to the signals. The signals sound steady for 4 seconds to
indicate trouble conditions, and then reset.

WalkTest Moving Points between Groups

The WalkTest list consists of eight groups. The purpose of these groups is to allow a technician
to conduct a WalkTest in a specific area of a building (or different buildings), and limit the
activation of the building signals to only the intended area.
WalkTest Group 0 initially contains all of the monitor points and all of the signal points wired
to the panel. Each WalkTest group consists of two lines: one for monitor zones and one for
signal/relays.
Follow these steps to move points from WalkTest Group 0 (where they are initially placed) into
other WalkTest groups. Signal/relay points can exist in multiple groups, but monitor points can
be in only one group at a time.

Custom Control ES Panel Custom Control —which is a wizard-based application used to create Custom
Overview Control Equations -- provides a way to override the ES Panel’s default operation and allows
the ES Panel to function in a facility-specific way. Each Custom Control equation has a
similar form: one half of the equation, called the input side, is used to monitor the state of
specific system inputs (initiating devices, for example). The other half of the equation, called
the output side, is used to control specific system outputs (relays, notification appliances, etc.).
The output side executes only when the state of the input side is true. Another way to think
about Custom Control equations is to consider them as If/Then commands. If the input side of
the equation is true, then execute the output side.

The following examples help explain the way custom control is typically used with a ES Panel
FACP.
• Selective Signaling. Selective signaling replaces the system's general alarm NAC
operation - which activates all NACs in response to any alarm condition -- with
selective NAC control. This type of control allows you to program the system so that
only specific NACs respond to specific initiating devices.
• Fan and Damper Control following an Alarm. Controlling a building's HVAC
system following an alarm condition prevents supply fans from feeding a potential
fire and also allows the HVAC system to exhaust smoke from the area in alarm. In this
case, custom control equations are used to monitor the initiating devices in a given
area and control the HVAC system’s dampers and air handling units to provide the
correct supply and exhaust pressurization.

 4007ES Panel Programmer Manual (579-1167)

Custom Control

Role of Lists and Using lists and pseudo points (both user-defined and system) improves the efficiency of
Pseudo Points Custom Control equations and allows a range of facility-specific operations to be programmed.

• Digital Pseudo Points. Digital pseudo points store a value of ON or OFF.

• System Digital Pseudo Points allow you to track when common actions (such as a
system reset, for example) have occurred and activate facility-specific output(s) as
necessary.
• User-defined digital pseudo points can be used to signal that a specific event has
occurred. (For example, turn on a user-defined pseudo point to indicate when a water
tank is full.)
• Analog Pseudo Points. Analog Pseudo Points store analog values that can be used in
Custom Control equations.
• System Analog Pseudo Points store analog values (the number 128, for example), and
can be used as a threshold value within a Custom Control equation. (For example,
perform some output action when the value of the Number of System Troubles analog
pseudo point (A2) reaches a specific value.)
• User Analog Pseudo Points store user-defined analog values. The exact function of an
analog user pseudo depends on its point type—counter, timer, or analog value.
• List Pseudo Points. User-Defined Lists allow you to refer to a specific group of
devices using a single reference. For example, creating a user-defined list called “Floor
1 Pull Stations,” and populating it with only the pull stations from floor 1 provides a
way to monitor all of the pull stations on the floor without writing an equation for each
pull station.

Anatomy of a As mentioned above, every Custom Control equation has an input side, consisting of input
Custom Control statements, and an output side, consisting of output statements.
Equation
Input Statements are typically used to monitor the status of a point or list, or perform an
action such as delay, cycle, compare two values, or save/recall values. Every input statement
begins with an Opcode, which is the action that the input is performing (for example, monitor
point status, recall memory register, etc.). The Custom Control wizard then displays a series of
opcode-specific dialogs. For example if the Opcode is Point Status, the dialogs prompt the user
for Qualifier about the condition (alarm, trouble, etc.) and point being monitored.

Output Statements are the actions that occur only when the input side of the equation is true.
Every output statement begins with an Opcode, which is the general action that occurs when
the input side is true. The opcode is followed by a series of opcode-specific dialogs, which
allow you to specify exactly how the selected opcode functions. For example, if you are using
the Set Opcode, the wizard displays a series of dialogs that allow you to specify a qualifier (on,
off, etc.) and the point (a signal, for example) on which you want the output action to execute.

Custom Control, Continued

Anatomy of a Logical Operators (AND, OR, NOT) allow you to link multiple input statements to form
Custom Control logical expressions. Logical operators are only used with input statements and are not used
Equation with Output statements. ES Panel Custom Control uses the following logical operators.

• AND Operator. The AND logical operator allows you to put a group of points in series
so that only the activation of all points at the same time causes the Output side of the
equation to occur. In the following example, Zone1 and Zone2 must both be in alarm
(FIRE) before the output (Hold ON SIG3) executes.

• OR Operator. The OR operator allows you to put a group of points in parallel, meaning
the activation of any one of the points causes the output side of the equation to execute.
In the following example, if either Zone1 or Zone2 enters an alarm state, the output
(Hold ON SIG3) executes.

• NOT Operator. Use the NOT Operator to specify that a condition must not be true in
order for the output to execute. In the following example, the output side of the
equation (print message “Smoke not dirty” executes only if the condition of M1-1 is
NOT dirty.

Using a Ladder A ladder logic diagram is a “sketch” of the equation used to evaluate (predict the outcome) of a
Logic Diagram to custom control equation before it is entered into the programmer. Use the following
Evaluate an conventions when creating ladder logic diagrams.
Equation
• Draw a solid, vertical line on the left side of the sketch to represent the starting point
for the equation. Use a vertical dashed line to divide the sketch into an input side and
an output side.
• Use two vertical, parallel lines to represent each input statement. Add text between the
lines to describe the input statement.

Evaluate an contains a single output statement, HOLD ON SIG 1. This action only occurs if the
Equation input side of the equation, which monitors point M 2-1 for the presence of a fire
condition, is true.
• Represent the OR logical operator by positioning inputs on top of one another as
shown in the example below. Represent the AND logical operator by positioning the
inputs beside one another.

IP File Transfer

IP File Transfer The IP file transfer operates exclusively over the Ethernet service port and provides a faster and
more fully featured file transfer. The files are directly copied to the file system and activated.
New Slave Exec data is then downloaded by the master once it is running.

File Transfer The Ethernet service port connects to the front panel Ethernet connection through a standard
Connection to the straight (non-crossover) Ethernet Patch Cable. The service technician should connect his PC to
PC the CPU card through this front panel connection with a standard straight Ethernet cable (see
Figure 10-2). If this connection is not available, you may plug directly into the CPU Card
connector J1 to the PC with a standard straight Ethernet cable.

Figure 10-2. Front Panel Ethernet Service Port

Starting the IP This feature enables a user to download all Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) software features
File Transfer (Panel Exec, Slave Exec, etc.). All files are first downloaded to the Compact Flash Memory
Utility card on the Master Controller card before being activated. This provides a means for
recovering previous configurations (via the File Transfer “History/Undo” tab). It also allows
the FACP to continue operating during file download operation. FACP down-time is minimal.
This feature allows for file transfers speeds between 60 kbps and 100 kbps. Job configuration
files are typically between 1 MB and 2 MBs.

The ES Panel IP File Transfer utility can be started from within the ES Panel Programmer or
from the Windows Start menu. To start the File Transfer:
• From within the Programmer. While the programmer is already running, click on the
Transfer icon, located along the menu bar at the top of the programmer window. When
the options appear, click on Local Panel.

Figure 10-3. Transfer Icon

• From the Start Menu. Click the Start button. Move the pointer to the Programs
option. When the list of choices appears, move the pointer to the Simplex option and
click on the option containing the programmer. A list of options appears. Click on IP
File Transfer.

When either one of the start-up procedures has been completed, the File Transfer Utility
appears.

IP Communication Click on the Settings button near the top of the IP File Transfer Window to access the Settings
Parameter Window. The settings window shows you the IP address the program is currently using and
Settings allows you to change it if necessary.

Figure 10-4. File Transfer Settings Window

Click on OK to confirm your selection or Cancel to erase any modification you made.

Downloadable The following types of files can be downloaded to the ES Panel FACP through its file transfer
Files utility.
• CFIG File. This is the built job file, consisting of all programming definitions in a
binary format, that the panel's CPU can execute.
• Slave Exec. Module-specific slave Exec files execute on intelligent slave modules
(listed below) and define the way in which the slave module operates. Occasionally,
changes to the functionality of a slave module may require you to download a new
slave Exec file. (For example, a change to the IDNet Slave Exec file may be necessary
to provide support for new, additional device types.) The following 4007ES modules
are “intelligent” slave devices that use a module-specific Slave Exec file.

- 25 Volt Regulator - IDNet+ Expansion Card

- Zone/Relay Card - CPU Bootloader Files.
- SCU/RCU
- SDACT - LES Module
Note: To make a blank system operational, load both a CFIG text file (job containing programming
definitions) and a Panel Exec file.

- CFIG Text File. A panel with a missing or corrupt CFIG file can be restored to
proper operation by downloading a CFIG text file to the panel. The CFIG text file is
automatically built and placed in the same job directory as the “executable” CFIG
file (file ending in .CFG extension).
- Panel Exec (Master). The Panel Exec file is the “operating system” that runs on
the panel’s CPU module. It manages interactions between system components.
Occasionally, changes to the functionality of the operating system may require that a
new Panel Exec file be downloaded.

AMON Point Type
Introduction This chapter describes creating custom point types (referred to as AMON point types) for use
with analog monitor ZAMs. These point types allow descriptive text and device-specific
settings to be associated with a point name.

In this chapter AMON Pt Type Tab.......................12-1 Adding a Point Type ......................12-2

Editing a Point ...............................12-4 Deleting a Point .............................12-4

AMON Pt Type The AMON Pt Type tab (Figure 12-1) is for use only with IDNET analog monitor ZAMs. It
Tab allows you to create a custom point type that specifies how the ES Panel system should
interpret (i.e., react to) incoming analog data from the device attached to the ZAM. This point
type can then be assigned to the ZAM using the IDNET point editing screen, which is
accessible through either the Hardware or Point tab. For example, if you have an analog
device that measures the amount of liquid within a tank, you can use this tab to create a point
type that specifies what the unit of measurement is (gallons, for example) and what the
threshold value(s) for an alarm should be (generate an alarm when the tank is half empty, for
example).

2. Enter data in the initial dialog’s fields, as follows:
• Point Type Name. Enter a seven-character name for the point in this text entry field.
This point name can then be assigned to the analog ZAM point editing screen. The
point editing screen is accessible through either the Hardware Tab or the Point Tab.
• Alarm Type. The alarm type you choose determines how the ES Panel reacts when the
device attached to the ZAM crosses the threshold that you define for it. (The threshold
is defined in a step described below.) Choices for this field are as follows:

Table 12-1. Alarm Type

Alarm Type Description

FIRE Causes the system to generate a fire alarm when the device crosses the
threshold.
Creates a latching supervisory condition when the device crosses the
LATSUPV threshold. This means that the supervisory condition on the panel does
not clear until the point restores to normal and a system reset is
performed.
MPR12 Generates a priority 2 alarm when the device crosses the threshold.

SUPERV Generates a Supervisory condition when the device crosses the

threshold.
TROUBLE Generates a trouble condition when the device crosses the threshold.

Defines the point to be a pseudo point, having a value of either ON or

UTIL OFF. Typically used as a trigger for custom control (i.e., perform some
action if the point turns ON.
• Decimal Display. This field specifies the degree of precision for the device reporting
data (how many digits after the decimal place the device report). If the device reports
data one unit at a time, choose the XXXX. option. If the device reports data in 10ths of
a unit, choose the XXXX.X option. If the device reports data in 100ths of a unit,
choose the XXXX.XX option.
