3 Page 3 from 36 Section 1. Operation instructions This section contains general information and information regarding the use of the panel. All users of the panel should read these instructions very carefully in order to be able to act in the event of an alarm or a fault condition. 1.1 Description The BSR-1116 panel is a 1 loop, 16 zone addressable fire detection control panel. Up to 150 total devices can be connected on the loop. These devices can be all input devices (detectors, call points), up to 16 output devices and up to 20 line isolators. All the devices that are connected to the loop are referred to on the Display of the panel with the general term «POINTS» and in such a way they will be referred to from now on in the instructions that follow. 1.2 Indications and Controls The panel incorporates a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a series of indication LEDs which are used to inform the user of the panel s status. The LEDs give us general information ( e.g. if we have an alarm the General Alarm LED lights) and the LCD display shows additional information for every event (e.g. Alarm 1, from call point 120, which belongs to Zone 10 and has occurred on 09/01/2003 and at 14: 07). Below the display we can a keyboard containing six keys that are used to operate the panel. The keys are numbered from 1 to 6 and correspond to the operations left, right, up, down, Enter (select), Escape (exit or go to previous level). In general, when pressing a button either an event takes place or a menu is shown with grouped functions. When navigating inside menus, the keys 1,2,3 and 4 are used and permit us to move through the available selections. The 5 key is used to P o w e r S i r e n T e s t accept a selection and the 6 key is used either to exit or go to a previous level. From now on these keys will be referred to by their numbers. The LEDs are grouped in order to make their indications more understandable. In detail the LEDs show the following: A la r m D i s a b le Point G eneral S iren B att Z o n e P r e - A la r m G e n e r a l F a u lt F a u lt C P U B u z z e r S i le n c e I n f o S h o w E le m e n t s O l y m p i a e l e c t r o n i c s Power (Green) General operation indicator of the panel General Alarm (Red) Lights in the event of an Alarm General Fault (Yellow) Lights in the event of a Fault Fault CPU (Red) Lights when the panel has an internal hardware fault Disable Point (Yellow) Lights to show disabled points Disable General (Yellow) General disablement indicator Fault Siren (Yellow) Lights when a problem occurs on the siren outputs Fault Batt (Yellow) Lights to show a battery problem Disable Siren (Yellow) Lights to show a disabled siren output Disable Zone (Yellow) Lights to show a disabled zone Test (Yellow) Lights to show that we are in TEST mode Pre-alarm (Yellow) Lights to show a pre-alarm event

4 Page 4 from Access level 1 This level contains 2 functions that can be implemented by pressing a single key. - When the panel is in standby mode ( no alarm or fault events have occurred) then if the key number (3) is pressed the system conducts a sequential LED and Display test. - In the event of an Alarm or Fault condition, if the key number (1) is pressed then the internal buzzer is silenced. For as long as the event is in effect the internal buzzer sounds once in every 30 seconds. Should the panel see a new event in this state then the buzzer will start to sound continuously Events Menu In this menu we can see the current or logged events that are grouped into categories. If the (2) key is pressed the display shows: CURRENT ALARM EVENTS EVENTS And we enter the menu where we can see all current an logged alarm and fault events as well as disabled sections. The possible selections available are: CURRENT ALARM EVENTS CURRENT FAULT EVENTS CURRENT PREALARM EVENTS DISPLAY DISABLEMENTS REGISTERED ALARM EVENTS REGISTERED FAULT EVENTS REGISTERED PREALARM EVENTS DETECTORS FOR SERVICE This operation as well as the next two shows the events that are currently taking place. And are «active» ( When for example we have multiple fault events and we want to see them in sequence). If the (5) key is pressed we can see the last occurred alarm event or the indication «NOT EXIST ALARM EVENTS». Using the keys (3) and (4) we can navigate to the next or the previous alarm events. Using the keys (1) and (2) we can see more information. By pressing the key (6) we return to the menu. If the (5) key is pressed we can see the last occurred fault event or the indication «NOT EXIST FAULT EVENTS». Using the keys (3) and (4) we can navigate to the next or previous fault events.

Using the keys (1) and (2) we can see more information. By pressing the key (6) we return to the menu. The panel stores up to 250 most recent fault events into its memory. If the (5) key is pressed we can see the last logged prealarm event that is stored in memory. Using the keys (2) and (1) we can navigate to the next or previous logged prealarm event. Using the keys (4) and (3) we can see more information. By pressing the keys (5) or (6) we return to the menu. The panel stores up to 64 most recent prealarm events into its memory. If the (5) key is pressed the panel checks the loop and detects all points that issue values that are outside the pre-determined limits. After finishing the test the display shows : TOTAL POINTS XXX FOR SERVICE Where XXX is the number of points. If the (5) key is pressed we can see the first of the points that requires service. Using the keys (3) and (4) we can view all the points that require servicing. From the menu we can return to normal operation if the (6) key is pressed or if no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds.

5 Page 5 from Access level 2 ( User access level ) This level contains all operation that the user must do in the event of an Alarm, Pre-alarm or Fault condition. Also included are function related to zone, point and output activation and deactivation of the panel. All functions available for access level 2 are implemented using a menu that is shown by pressing the (4) key Alarm events When a device issues a fire alarm condition then the General Alarm LED lights. The Liquid crystal display shows information concerning the address of the point that issued the alarm. If the point has been named then the name will also be shown. ( else the display will only show «POINT ΧΧ ). The sirens will be activated, the RELAY 1 ( relay Alarm) will be activated and the internal buzzer will sound intermediately. If we want to silence the buzzer we can press the (1) key. If more than one alarm events occur then we can view them in the Alarm events menu (par ) To silence the sirens press the key(4) and then the key (5). To reactivate the sirens press again the key (4) and then the key (5). To RESET the panel, press the key (4) then the key (2) and finally the key (5) Pre-alarm events In case of a pre-alarm event the yellow Pre-Alarm LED lights. The liquid crystal display shows additional information regarding the pre-alarm. The internal buzzer will sound intermediately. The buzzer can be silenced by pressing the (1) key. If the pre-alarm signal ceases to exist then the panel returns to normal operation (without reset). In order for a pre-alarm signal to by issued by a device, the device must be programmed to be able to give a pre-alarm. The default configuration program has all devices incapable of issuing pre-alarms. Usually we program sensors to issue pre-alarms in areas where a fire might burn with low rates Fault events In case of a fault event the yellow General Fault LED lights. Other LEDs that show the origin of the fault may also be lit. Additional information concerning the fault will be shown on the Liquid crystal display. The RELAY 2 ( relay Fault) will be activated and the internal buzzer will sound intermediately. The buzzer can be silenced by pressing the (1) key. If more than one events occur then the List LED will also light. All occurring events can be viewed using the events menu ( par.1.3.1) To reset the panel, press the key (4) then the key (2) and finally the key (5) User menu The options available in the user menu depend on the status of the panel when the (4) key is pressed When the panels is not in an alarm status and the(4) key is pressed then the display shows: SELECT->ENTER EVACUATE This menu contains all operations available to the user of the system. To navigate through the menu, use the keys (1) and (2). The available options are: SELECT->ENTER EVACUATE SELECT->ENTER SYSTEM RESET If the (5) key is pressed then a manual evacuation signal is issued. The sirens are sounded, the RELAY 1 (relay Alarm) is activated and the internal buzzer sounds continuously, as in all alarm events. The control capabilities of the panel are the same as the other alarm events and are described in par If the (5) key is pressed then the fire detection system is RESET. All current events are logged, all devices return to quiescent operation and all activated outputs are deactivated. The RESET mode is completed after about 10 seconds.

If the key (5) is pressed the display shows: DEACTIVATION ZONE 1 Using the keys (3) and (4), the zones number can be selected and by pressing the (5) key the shown zone is disabled. In this manner other zones can also be disabled. If the (2) key is pressed then specific devices can be disabled. The display shows: DEACTIVATION OF POINT 1 Using the keys (3) and (4), the point number can be selected and by pressing the (5) key the shown point is disabled. In this manner other points can also be disabled. Selections are valid after exiting the menu. By pressing the (1) key we return to the previous menu which is the DISABLE ZONE menu. WARNING!! Disablements must be a temporary state until a technical problem is solved or until all work that might affect the operation of the system has finished. If a zone or point is disabled, after exiting the user menu (with the (6) key), the panels conducts a RESET and when it returns to normal operation the «General Disable» LED lights. Also the LEDs marked «Disable Zone» and «Disable Point» might light. The display shows the indication «DISABLEMENTS». SELECT->ENTER ZONE ENAB/MENT * Using this selection all disabled zones and point can be re-enabled. The way in which the zones and points are re-enabled is identical to the method used to disable them. If the panel is in an alarm status and the (4) key is pressed the first menu option will change and the display now shows: SELECT->ENTER SIREN SILENCE If the (5) key is pressed then the sirens are silenced. If the panel is in an alarm status with the sirens silenced and the (4) key is pressed the first menu option changes and the display shows: SELECT->ENTER SIREN RESOUND If the (5) key is pressed then the sirens will start to sound. The other menu options remain the same as above. To exit the menu and to return too normal operations press the (6) key or leave the keyboard inactive for 30 seconds.

7 Page 7 from 36 Section 2. Installation instructions In this section we will refer to all required information that is required to connect the panel with all the peripherals, to program all its functions and to find any faults during the installation. It must be studied thoroughly by all installers who will connect and commission the fire detection system. The full knowledge of the panels capabilities as well as all the peripherals is essential for the proper operation of the installation. 2.1 General description The BSR-1116 panel is a 1 loop, 16 zone addressable fire detection control panel. Up to 150 total devices can be connected on the loop. These devices can be all input devices (detectors, call points), up to 16 output devices and up to 32 line isolators. All devices can be programmed to belong to a specific zone without any restriction to devices per zone. Each device must have its own specific address which is set using micro-switches. The operation instructions of each device contain detailed setting of the micro-switches for setting the address. In detail, all peripherals that can be installed on the BSR-1116 loop are: - BSR-6055/A. Addressable optical smoke sensor - BSR-6060/A. Addressable heat-of rise sensor - BSR-5036/A. Addressable break glass call-point - BSR-8013/A. Addressable unit for driving conventional detectors - BSR Addressable input-output unit - BSR-8019/A. Addressable input unit with auxiliary relay - BSR-7070/A. Addressable line isolator On the siren outputs of the panel we can connect all conventional sirens (BS-530, BS-531, BS-525), bells or fire alarm beacons. Both addressable sensors have incorporated outputs for connecting remote indication LEDs of the type BS-572. In order to minimize mistakes during the installation or programming procedure it is wise to start operations with a plan. On this plan-schematic we must write the address of every device, the name that we will reference it by (up-to 16 characters including spaces) and the zone that it will belong to. The panel can be programmed and commissioned using only the keys on the keyboard that it contains. According to regulation, in case of a short circuit it is not allowed for more than 32 detectors to go out of order. In this case it is required that a line isolator us placed per 32 detectors. 2.2 Safety A device is not regarded that it has been installed safely if it is used without prior reading the accompanying documents This product must be installed, commissioned and maintained by qualified technical personnel according to: Regulation for installing electrical appliances in buildings Fire safety regulations Manufacturer instructions - The device operates with 230V / 50Hz and has a class 2 construction (does not require Grounding). - It must be connected to the power supply installation via its own protection fuse. 2.3 Mounting The mounting of the panel should be done in such a way that it is visible and accessible to the personnel that is responsible for the fire protection of the building. The BSR-1116 is a device suitable for wall mounted installations, in internal areas. To mount it, the front cover must be removed by unfastening the 3 retaining screws. Wall mounting is accomplished by using the mounting screws and plugs contained in the package.

The terminal blocks of the panel are capable of handling cable with a cross-section of up-to 2.5mm Connecting the panels with the mains power supply (230V AC) and with the battery To connect the cable with the mains power supply a cable with external insulation must be used. The connection is done using the special terminals found on the top left of the panel as shown in the diagram (the middle terminal is used for ground connections). One of the terminals has built-in fuse (5x20,rated at 630mA ) that is the central fuse of the panel. Below these terminals and the transformer we can find the battery compartment. The compartment is suitable for the battery Α-986 of olympia electronics. The charging circuit of the panel is also calculated for the specific battery type. In case of replacement, the new battery must be of the same type. Two cables with connectors are used to connect the battery to the panel. The black cable with the black connector is connected to the negative pole of the battery (marked with (-) or with black color) and the red cable with the white connector is connected to the positive pole of the battery (marked (+) or with red color).

The panel connection with the mains supply must be done via a 16A external fuse or an automatic circuit breaker rated at 16A. 3. Always use cables with double insulation. 4. The diameter of the cable must be at least 1mm. 5. The inner insulation of each cable must not be cut more than 1cm 6. The outer insulation must not be cut more than 1cm away from the internal insulation. 7.

These outputs are «ALARM-1» and «ALARM-2». Each output is capable of providing 300mA of current and is fully monitored for open and short circuit conditions. On these terminals we can see a end-of line resistor with a rating of 5,6ΚΩ. If one of the outputs is not used then the resistor should be left on the terminals. If the output is used for connecting sirens then the resistor is removed from the terminals and is connected on the siren terminals as shown in the diagram above.

10 Page 10 from 36 By default, both of these outputs are programmed to operate in case of an Alarm condition Various other outputs and their use. The panel also has available the following outputs: - Output for network connection terminals. Two terminals ( +Α, -Α ) are used to connect panels when we want to have network. We can connect up to 8 panels as shown in figure. - Terminals 24V_P. This is an output that has a rating of 24Vdc (up-to 300mA) and can be used to power devices that cannot be powered by the loop (e.g. gas detectors or electromagnetic fire safety door latches). - Terminals F_OUT and --. This is an open collector output that is activated when there is an error in the operation of the Central Processing Unit of the panel - Terminals TEL and --. This is an open collector output suitable for activating automatic telephone dialers in the event of an alarm condition. It can be connected directly on the Α or Β inputs of the BS-489 automatic telephone dialer as shown in the diagram below.

11 Page 11 from Connecting the loop of the panel All compatible with the panel devices ( except sensors ) have 4 pole terminal blocks that are used to connect them with the loop. The terminals are marked +L, -L, +L, -L. On one +L terminal and one L terminal is used to connect the cables that come from the panel or a previous device and the other two terminals are used to connect the cables that go to the next device.

13 Page 13 from Programming using the controls and keys of the panels After connecting all peripherals and devices the installer must execute all the necessary action in order to begin the operation of the system. These operation can be done using the built-in keyboard via the technicians menu. In order to enter the technicians menu an access code is required. This code by default is : Automatic device recognition (for devices connected on the loop) The first action that must be done is to inform the panel of all the devices that are connected to the loop. In the technicians menu there is a special options that is used to automatically recognize the devices connected to the loop. In order to access this option press the (5) key and the display will show: INSERT YOUR CODE After pressing 4 times the (1) key we enter the technicians menu and the display shows: Press the (2) key and the display will show : SELECT->ΕΝΤΕR CHECK * SELECT->ΕΝΤΕR CONFIGURATION * By pressing the (5) key we enter the configuration options of the system. Press the (2) key as many times as it is needed until the display shows: AUTOMATIC POINT DETECTION Press the (5) key and the panel will automatically enter an automatic point recognition of all devices that are connected to the loop. The display will show : RESET TO DEFAULT ALL NAMES? x One more selection should be done before auto-recognition commences. This operation is to clear or not all the names of the devices that are in the panels memory. If the auto-recognition procedure is done in order to add or to remove devices then the names should not be cleared. If the (5) key is pressed then we select not to clear the names. If we press the (3) key then the (x) on the display changes to ( ) and by pressing the (5) key the names are cleared. The display shows: SEARCHING ΦΦΦ ΟΚ POINT Νο ΥΥΥ Where (ΧΧΧ) is the address of which a device is being searched for and (ΥΥΥ) the last point detected. The panel searches for devices in all the addresses (by changing the value or XXX) and shows the last found address (in the YYY value). By knowing which devices are connected we know,when the panel has finished auto-detection, if all the devices were found and recognized. If one or more devices are not found this means that they are not correctly installed ( e.g the connection polarity is not correct or a sensor is not placed correctly on it s base). In this case we must check all the devices, correct the errors and repeat the auto-detection procedure until all the devices are recognized by the panel. After this we can go to the next programming steps.

14 Page 14 from Programming names and parameters of connected devices Every device(sensor, call-point, e.t.c.) that is connected on the loop must be adjusted and a name must be given to it. In the autodetection procedure the panel will adjust some parameters of the recognized devices, which in certain cases are enough and further programming is not required The devices are named automatically: - The call points BSR-5036/A are named «CALL POINT ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). - The sensors BSR-6055/A are named «SMOKE DET. ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). - The sensors BSR-6060/A are named «TEMP.60 Dt ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). - The input unit BSR-8019/A is named «INPUT ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). - The input-output unit BSR-8018 consists of an input unit and an output unit. Each unit requires 2 addresses. The input unit is named «INPUT I/O. ΧΧ» (where ΧΧ is a number from 1 to 16. Number 1 corresponds to address 208 and number 16 to address 224). The output unit is named «OUTPUT I/O. ΧΧ» (where ΧΧ is a number from 1 to 16. Number 1 corresponds to address 225 and number 16 to address 240). - The conventional device driving units BSR-8013/A are named «ADAPTER ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). - The line isolators BSR-7070 are named «ISOLATOR ΧΧΧ» (where ΧΧΧ is the address of the device). All the devices are programmed to belong to zones according to the table below: Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7 Zone 8 The devices with addresses from 1 to 15 The devices with addresses from 16 to 30 The devices with addresses from 31 to 45 The devices with addresses from 46 to 60 The devices with addresses from 61 to 75 The devices with addresses from 76 to 90 The devices with addresses from 91 to 105 The devices with addresses from 106 to 120 Zone 9 Zone 10 Zone 11 Zone 12 Zone 13 Zone 14 Zone 15 Zone 16 The devices with addresses from 121 to 135 The devices with addresses from 136 to 150 The devices with addresses from 151 to 165 The devices with addresses from 166 to 180 The devices with addresses from 181 to 195 The devices with addresses from 196 to 210 The devices with addresses from 211 to 225 The devices with addresses from 226 to 240 All manual activation call points and input units are programmed to issue an alarm at a value of «100» and are programmed not to issue a pre-alarm. The optical smoke sensors are programmed to issue an alarm at a value of «120» (low sensitivity) and are programmed not to issue a pre-alarm. The heat of rise detectors are programmed to issue an alarm at a value of «104» (60 degrees Celsius) and are programmed not to issue a pre-alarm Useful information for panel installation BSR-1116 installation must be according to the following steps: 1) Up to 150 total devices can be connected on the loop. In these case, the diameter of the power line must be at least 1,5 mm. 2) First, we must set the address of each device. To change the address of each device we must set the dip-switch located in each device. 3) It is essential to draw a schematic of the whole installation. The schematic must include cable length,cross- section cable, and the location of each device. This will be useful to locate where a fault, or alarm or a shortcut occurs. 4) Before we connect the cable we must check for three faults a) Shortcuts (with the help of a multimeter), b) Reverse of cable loop c) Disconnection or cut off of the loop cable (with the help of a multimeter). 5) After the cable connection we do a installation check( see page 27 in the technician menu (2.6.8)) and we press Enter. After the process we check how many devices are communicate with the panel. If the number of device which communicates is equal to the number of the devices we put in the loop, we continue with the automatic point detection. Else we check for any faults in the loop.

15 Page 15 from Loop current and cable cross-section calculation The devices are powered from the panel BSR-1116, which has a maximum supply current of 250mA. So it is necessary to calculate the maximum current of the installation, which must not overcame the limit of 250 ma. The next table shows the consumption of each device. Device Description Consumption normal Consumption at alarm Maximum number of device in loop BSR-6055/A Smoke detector 1 1,5 150 BSR-6060/A Heat Detector 1 1,5 150 BSR-5036/A Call Button 1 1,5 150 BSR-7070/A Isolator BSR-8013/A Conventional support unit BSR-8019/A Unit Input 1 1,5 128 BSR-8018 Unit IO BS-572 Indicator LED The total loop current of the installation can be calculated with the sum of each device current consumption in normal condition. Also the consumption of the number of the devices which are in alarm condition must be added. The calculations can be done using the PC program BSR If in any condition we overcome the current limit of 250mA, we must put a second panel BSR-1116 to produce a network. The devices will be divided into two panels. Also, an essential magnitude of the cable loop is the cross-section, because the cable resistance depends of the crosssection. If the cable resistance is high there will be a voltage loss and the device may not work properly. The next table shows the minimum cross-section in combination with the cable length and in combination with panel supply current. Length of cable Current 200m 500m 1000m 1500m 2000m Consumption 50mA 0.5 mm mm mm 2 1 mm mm 2 100mA 0.5 mm mm mm 2 1 mm mm 2 150mA 0.5 mm mm 2 1 mm mm mm 2 200mA 0.5 mm mm 2 1,5 mm mm mm 2 250mA 0.5 mm mm 2 1,5 mm mm mm 2

16 Page 16 from 36 For example, if we have to install a fire address panel for a hotel of 70 rooms. We will put a smoke detector in each room. Also we will put a call button in every three rooms. Final we will put an isolator in every floor. The length of the installation is 1200meters. Also the system has 16 zones and 16 IO units. The current consumptions at normal condition are: I Normal = 1 x N Smoke detectors + 1 x N Heat detectors + 1 x N Call Button + 4 x N Isolator + 10 x N Conventional + 1 x N Input unit + 1 x N IO unit 0 x N Indicator LED = 1*85 + 1*20 + 1*20 + 4*6 + 10*0 + 1*2+ 1*16 +0*10= 167mA Where Ν, is the number of devices etc. N Smoke detectors is the number of detectors in the installation. Also we will considerate that four detectors, two IO units and two Indicator LEDs will be in alarm condition. So the extra current for this devices will be: I Alarm = (1,5-1)*4 + (6-1)*2 +5*2 = 22 ma We did not take under consideration the consumption of all devices in alarm condition because it is impossible that all devices will be in alarm condition. The total current is : I total = I normal + I alarm = 167mA +22mA = 189mA

17 Page 17 from 36 So long as the installation needs a 1200m cable and has current 187mA, according to the previous table, the installation we need a cable with a cross-section of 1.5mm 2. If the installation is in industrial place or the loop pass near of a motor, or ballasts or other devices which does not does not comply to CE in radiation activity, then a cable with shield is needed Programming the general operation parameters of the panel All the outputs of the panel (relays, sirens ) are programmed by default to operate as required in most simple installations without requiring reprogramming. Besides this they are fully programmable from the installer in order to fulfil the requirements of each installation. The default settings of the outputs are : - Siren outputs. The two siren outputs are permanently activated in an alarm condition, without any delay and stay activated until the user selects to silence the sirens or to reset the system. - AUX 1 relay output. The AUX 1 relay output is activated permanently in an alarm condition, without any delay and stays activated until the user resets the system. - AUX 2 relay output. The AUX 2 relay output is activated permanently in a fault condition without any delay and stays activated until the user resets the system. - Input-output unit (BSR-8018) that is connected on the loop. All the outputs of the devices BSR-8018 that are recognized during the auto-detection procedure are programmed automatically to be continuously activated by an alarm condition, without any delay and stay activated until the user resets the system. If for some reason in certain installations it is required that the outputs function in a different manner then the programming can be done via the technicians menu.

Before closing the program asks us to save the current file. The «Input» menu contains the options : - «Input point». Opens the Point input screen shown below. The «Points» field is used to select the type of point (smoke, heat of rise, call point, isolator, adapter, input unit) by simple selection. The «Address» field is used by the program to suggest the first free address available. By clicking on the arrow another address can be selected. The «Name» field is used to enter a name for the point selected. The program suggests a name depending on the type of point. (e.g. POINT ΝΟ 1). If we click on the name we can change it according to our requirements. The «Zone» field is used to select which zone the point belongs to. The «Group» field is used to select witch group the point belongs to. The «Alarm» filed is used to select the level after which the point will issue an alarm. The program suggests the default value which different for every type of point (e.g. if we select heat-of rise sensors the program will suggest a value of 104). By moving the scroll bar or by entering the value in the window we can change the alarm level. The program will not accept values that are not in a predetermined range. The «Pre-alarm» field is used to select the level after which the point will issue a pre-alarm. By default the program suggests the value of (0) which means without pre-alarm. By moving the scroll bar or by entering the value in the window we can change the prealarm level. The program will not accept values that are not in a pre-determined range. After selecting and setting all the fields for this point we can select «Add & Next» to store the setting and select the next point, «Add & Finish» to store the settings and exit the input point sub-menu or «Cancel» to exit the input point sub-menu without storing the settings. - «Input I/O unit». Open the dialog screen to input an input-output unit as shown below.

32 Page 32 from 36 The window has two different tabs which are used to configure the input unit and the output unit. The input unit tab has the following options: The «Address» field is where we can select the address of the input unit. The program suggests the first free address available but can be changed by the user. Warning. If the address of the input unit is changed then automatically the address of the output unit also is changed. The «Name» field is used to change the name of the device. The «Zone» field is used to select the zone of the device. The «Group» field is used to select the group of the device. The «Alarm» field is used to select the level after which the input will issue an alarm. The program by default suggests a value of 100 which is the default value. By moving the scroll bar or by typing in the required value into the window we can change the alarm level. The program will not accept values that are not in a pre-determined range. The «Pre-alarm» field is used to select the level after which the input will issue a pre-alarm. By default the program suggests the value of (0) which means without pre-alarm. By moving the scroll bar or by entering the value in the window we can change the prealarm level. The program will not accept values that are not in a pre-determined range. If we want to adjust the parameter of the output unit press on the output unit tab. The screen changes as shown below : The «Address» field is where we can select the address of the input unit.
