12 With the above created folder it is easy to import data also for the creation of a new customer. Press the [Import] button, search the folder created after the export procedure and select the ".dat" file the folder contains. The software will take the customers data to create a new customer. 4.8 Multiclient Monitoring When a user is connected with a customer for programming and monitoring, all the other connected customers maintain communication with the program providing information about their status or an alarm situation. For a continuous communication with the ProVision software, the customer must be constantly connected via the TCP-IP connection and [Observe] field to be selected at the customer's data. If a customer is chosen to be observed an icon appears at the right side of the window. There are four icons displaying customers status: The panel in normal condition. The panel in fault condition. The panel in alarm condition. The panel does not respond. 4.9 Customers Filters To be sure that no customer is in alarm or fault condition, there are five different filters for the displaying of the customers depending on their status. These displaying filters are: 1. All Customers: All the active customers. 2. Active Customers: All the customers selected to be observed. 3. Customers in Alarm: All the customers in an alarm condition. 4. Customers in Fault: All the customers in a fault condition. 5. Unresponsed Cust.: All the customers that don't respond to the software Live PC Events All the events from the observed customers are recorded. The events can be seen by pressing the [Events List] button in the customer's form. Also in the Events List are recorded the events from the software, the software observation, the users' moves etc. 12

13 5. Monitoring Customer 5.1 Introduction The monitoring customer window displays the panel's status and affects its functions. The user can also make some adjustments to the panel. 5.2 Presenting Monitoring In this window are indications for almost every function of the panel. This window represent the panel's keypad using a PC friendly way. There are led indications for the panel and the zones, descriptions, zone filters, event recording and other useful informations. Figure 5. Monitoring customer window 13

14 5.2.1 Main Indications Figure 6. Main indications At the top left side of the monitoring window there are three LEDs that represent the panel's keypad status LEDs. In detail: The first LED displays alarm conditions. At normal condition (no alarm) LED is grey. In alarm condition LED becomes red. The second LED displays fault conditions. At normal condition (no fault) LED is grey. In fault condition (includes all fault conditions) LED becomes yellow. The third LED indication displays panel's power state. In normal state LED is green. If the LED blinks the panel has problem with one of the two power sources (battery or mains power) Zones Filters Fire alarm panel can support up to seventy two (72) zones. For zones observation the below filters help the user to see in groups the required zones. The zones filters are: 1. All Zones: All the existing zones. 2. Selected Zones: Selected zones from the user. 3. Zones in Alarm: Zones in alarm condition. 4. Zones in Fault: Zones in fault condition. 5. Bypassed Zones: Programmed bypassed zones. 6. Cross-zones: Programmed cross-zones. 14

15 5.2.3 Zones Description At the center of the window the zones of the panel are displayed with all the necessary information. Sixteen (16) zones can be displayed at the same time, if the panel has more zones a scroll bar appears. Each zone contains eight information fields: Figure 7. Zones description Zone Status Zone Information Fields OFF ON NOT ACTIVE HOLD Zone number - - Gray - Alarm LED indication Gray Red - H indication above LED Fault LED indication Gray Yellow - - Bypass LED indication Gray Orange - - Zone description, zone name - - Light Blue - Relay alarm LED indication Gray Red - - Relay fault LED indication Gray Yellow - - Relay bypass LED indication Gray Orange - - Table 3. Zones status description In case a zone is not visible at the zones window and an alarm, fault, bypass or relay condition appears then indication arrows appear to guide the user move the scroll bar. There are two additional zones indications depending on how the zones are programmed to work. When a zone is in normal condition the only indications user can observe are the eight mentioned above. Else: If a zone works as an intellizone: The indication appears next to description. The indication becomes red in case 15

16 the zone is in pre-intellizone state. If a zone works as a cross-zone: A square bracket appears to indicate the group of the four cross-zones Panel's Control Buttons Under the general LED indications there are five buttons, that provide immediate control of the panel. In detail: 1. Silence: Sends a general silence command to the panel. 2. Reset: Resets the panel after an alarm situation. 3. Select Zones: Selects the zones that appear on the [Selected Zones] filter. This button does not affect panel. 4. Bypass: Sets the selected zones or relays as bypassed zones. 5. Date/Time: The panel's date and time synchronizes to the PC's Panel's Power Status In this window the power status of the panel and the connected expansion modules is monitored. For the expansion modules (zone and relay) power supplies, eight pairs of leds inform the user if the modules have power supplies or work through the bus cable. If the led's color is gray the module works using power from the bus or the module is not connected. If the color is green the module works with it's own mains. In case led is yellow then the module has fault on power supply. Last is the panel's power status indication (analog and digital). User knows the exact power level for mains and battery. Figure 8. Control buttons Figure 9. Power status 16

17 5.2.6 Day/Night Mode Figure 10. Day/Night mode indication The day/night operation is based on the intellizone feature. It is a mechanism based on a daily timer that either activates (day mode) or deactivates (night mode) the intellizone feature on predefined times of the day. The Day/Night mode is dependent on the intellizone feature. When the Day/Night feature is active, it is always displayed on the Monitoring screen and the current state (day or night mode) is shown. For Day/Night Mode activation see Programming, General Options section Live Events Figure 11. Live events field ProVision has a feature that provides the user with information on the communication between the Fighter control panel and ProVision. The program displays all the events that take place during system s operation, for example a System Reset. All events are logged in time sequence fully described by the place where the event occurred, description of the event, time and date. Every live event is described at the fields described below. 1. Event Source: Who is responsible for the event. 2. Event Description: Event's description. 3. Zone Or Area Description: Extra information about the event. 4. Event Date-Time: The exact time the event take place. 17
