1.1 Introduction
Welcome! CAMWorks is the user configuration system for all E3 Series, S3 Series,
NetSOLO Series and 7100 Series systems.
NOTE: Fire Fighter Phone voice communications do not pass through the ANX-MR from
one ring to another.
A Model E3 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel comprised of the following equipment:
· ILI-MB-E3 - Intelligent Loop Interface - Main Board, System Sensor.
· ILI-S-E3 - Intelligent Loop Interface - Supplemental (optional, and can only be used
as an add-on to an ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3), System Sensor.
· ILI95-MB-E3 - Intelligent Loop Interface - Main Board, Apollo XP-95.
· ILI95-S-E3 - Intelligent Loop Interface - Supplemental (optional, and can only be
used as an add-on to an ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3), Apollo XP-95.
A Model S3 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel comprised of the following equipment:
· SLP-E3 - S3 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel - Main Board.
· LCD-SLP - Color LCD touchscreen sub assembly with keypad.
· FLPS-7 - Seven Ampere Power Supply.
NOTE: It is not possible to mix Apollo and System Sensor SLC's on the
same S3 Series FACP. However it is possible to mix Apollo and S3 Series
(System Sensor) FACP's on the same network.
A Model 7100 series Fire Alarm Networked System comprised of the following equipment:
· A 7100 BSM - Basic System Module
· INI-7100 - Network Interface Module
An Intelligent Network Transponder (INX) equipped with with an Intelligent Network Interface
sub assembly (INI-VGX).
An Intelligent Network Command Center with Bulk Amplification (INI-VGE) equipped with an
Intelligent Network interface sub assembly (INI-VGE).
An Addressable Node Expander (Multi Ring) (ANX-MR), network bridge & interface unit.
NOTE: Networked systems cannot contain both INI-7100 panels and ANX-MR or ANX-SR
nodes. Therefore, INI-7100 nodes are not allowed in multi-ring systems.
NOTE: Networked systems cannot contain both INI-7100 panels and ILI95-MB-E3 or
ILI95-S-E3 nodes.
The first step in the configuration process is creating a project. The user selects the New
Project 31 icon on the File tab 31 of The Ribbon 27 and enters a project name (this name
can be up to 64 characters long). Additional information is also required to be entered
before creating the project. The type and amount information required varies based on the
selected project type. For more information about creating a new project, see the New
Project 31 help topic.
Nodes can be added to the project at any time by selecting the Tools 45 tab (in The Ribbon
27 ) > Add Node 47 menu item. After selecting the node type, node address and System ID
Once the project has been created, each node may be separately edited and Downloaded
using the Communication/Download menu item.
The connection for downloading can be made from the PC to one of the following types of
nodes:
NOTE: S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR and ANX-MR nodes contain both a traditional RS-232
port and an Ethernet (TCP/IP) port that may be used for downloading. The Ethernet port
may use either standard or crossover CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6 cables to connect directly to
a host computer, a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN).
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
License information for the current key may be viewed by selecting License Information 52
NOTE: CAMWorks License Keys are issued with a twelve month activation period.
Once that activation period expires, the key must be renewed in order to continue using
CAMWorks. See Upgrade License 51 for more information.
WARNING: Do not remove the CAMWorks USB key while CAMWorks is running. Doing
so will disable CAMWorks until the key is reconnected.
A CAM is a collection of logic operations that takes input from bit addresses in the System
Status Map and modifies other SSM bit addresses on the basis of the results. The bit
address numbers are referred to as Groups throughout CAMWorks. Do not be confused
by the name. These group numbers are simply aliases for the SSM bit addresses. The CAM
logic on a given node can use any group (bit address number) in the entire SSM as part of a
CAM logic expression, but can only modify groups (bit addresses) in its own SSM block.
For example, if node 1 in a network system is a 7100 FACP, the CAM logic in that panel can
examine any Group of any node, but can only output to a group in the SSM block for Node
1. For all standalone systems, all CAMs must refer to to the panel as Node 0.
Just as the meaning of the SSM status groups varies from one node type to another, so
does the meaning of output control. For example, on the 7100 and the ILI-MB-E3, groups
125-224 are associated with "output group" control. In other words, the true or false result
of a CAM logic expression is used to control the associated output group, which may turn
physical output devices on or off.
A CAM logic expression consists of at least one instruction. However, a more typical CAM
expression include several operands and one or more logic operators (AND, OR, XOR,
NOT). The evaluation of these expressions are used to control the appropriate output. Each
logic operator is given its own "symbol" in CAMWorks. The following table explains the logic
symbol conventions used by CAMWorks.
Here is an example for this application. For example, a particular E3 Series system has two
command centers (INCC nodes), one on each ring. These Command Centers are Nodes 1
and 65, respectively. There are two INX nodes in the system, Nodes 2 and 66, respectively.
Both INX's need to page when either Microphone switch is pressed.
On Node 2, the CAMs to enable Paging from both Command Centers will be:
On Node 66, the CAMs to enable Paging from both Command Centers will be:
You'll notice that the ANX-MR has two physical node addresses (63 & 126), as well as two
"virtual" node addresses (62 & 127). The ANX-MR actually is two physical nodes (one node
for each ring) and has two bitmaps (one for each ring). The two virtual addresses are used
to permit System Status Map information to cross from one ring to another.
It's important to note that the reason that we used a scratchpad in each of the ANX-MR's
bitmaps for this application is because the ANX-MR, just like other nodes, can only "see"
bitmaps from the other nodes within its own ring. The ANX-MR can see both of the ANX-
MR's two bitmaps. It's important to note that in CAMWorks, the ANX-MR's bitmaps are
referred to using the following conventions:
· When writing CAMs on a node on Ring 1, the ANX-MR's Ring 1 bitmap is referred to as
Node 63 (physical address).
· When writing CAMs on a node on Ring 1, the ANX-MR's Ring 2 bitmap is referred to as
Node 62 (virtual address).
· When writing CAMs on a node on Ring 2, the ANX-MR's Ring 1 bitmap is referred to as
Node 127 (virtual address).
· When writing CAMs on a node on Ring 2, the ANX-MR's Ring 2 bitmap is referred to as
Node 126 (physical address).
NOTE: Nodes 62 and 127 are not physical nodes in the system, and there are no
icons representing these nodes in CAMWorks.
These "virtual" nodes are used to refer to the ANX-MR's bitmaps on the opposite ring.
Nodes in Ring 2 can read the ANX-MR's Ring 1 bitmap by using the Node 127 virtual
address, while nodes in Ring 1 can read the ANX-MR's Ring 2 bitmap by using the Node
62 virtual address. See Figure 1 below.
NOTE: It is important to note that both of the ANX-MR's bitmaps are independent of each
other and may not necessarily contain the same status information.
In general, the following table defines which nodes can see which other node's bitmaps:
NOTE: If FocalPoint is connected to the E3 Series system via an ANX, only that ANX
may be permanently installed in the system.
NOTE: In networked systems where FocalPoint is connected, one node per region must
be configured as the "Network Global Silence Receiver" for that region in order for
FocalPoint's signal silence commands to properly function.
NOTE: In single-region systems where FocalPoint is connected, the node that FocalPoint
is connected to must be configured as a "Network Global Silence Receiver" in order for
FocalPoint's signal silence commands to properly function.
There are 64 possible regions, numbered 0 - 63, available in the system. The regions are
defined in Node Summary 57 screen where individual nodes can be assigned to the desired
region. By default, all nodes in the network are set to region 0.
NOTE: Network Regions are not applicable to E3 Series Standalone or 7100 Standalone
systems.
Specifically, the "Site Specific Key" will configure all S3 Series, 7100, NGA, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-
E3, ILI95-MB-E3, ILI95-S-E3, ANX-SR or ANX-MR nodes so that only that specific key may
be used in the future to perform all downloads 841 to a target or uploads 870 from a target
node that has been so configured. This process is completely transparent to the user and is

OK - Performs the conversion and closes the window. During the conversion process,
CAMWorks may display prompts to request information from the user or to inform the user
about the status of the conversion process.
Apply - Performs the conversion, but leaves the window open so that additional projects
may be converted.
NOTE: If a project is currently opened, CAMWorks will prompt the user to indicate that
the current project will be closed before using this function.
NOTE: When upgrading projects created in FCP-7100 - Panel Network V5.x or V6.x,
CAMWorks will examine all I/O group assignments on all nodes. All I/O group
assignments that use network groups to directly link inputs and outputs will be deleted.
These I/O relationships will need to be manually recreated using CAM 21 logic.
CAMWorks will alert the user if this is necessary for a given project.
NOTE: It is not necessary to use the Upgrade Projects feature to convert projects created
in previous versions of CAMWorks 2.x to this version of CAMWorks.

Network Settings provides access to configuration settings that will be applied to all nodes in
the network. These settings include:
Passwords 35
Miscellaneous Settings 41
Display Priorities 41
2.1.7.1.1 Passwords
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
Since this is a Project Level option, this will affect all nodes present in the system.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
NOTE: These device types can be used with 7100 nodes, ILI-E3 Series nodes and S3
Series (System Sensor) FACPs, but not with ILI95-E3 Series nodes or S3 Series (Apollo)
FACPs.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
SLC Type - Select whether this device type should be a System Sensor or Apollo device
type. This selection may or may not be available, depending on the nodes that are present
in the current project.
NOTE: This setting is fixed to "System Sensor" for the 7100 User Defined Device Types.
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:

Form-C Module, SCE-95 or RCE-95. This indicates whether this device type can be
silenced or not.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
2.1.7.1.3 Miscellaneous
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
NOTE: This setting is not available in mixed E3 Series / NetSOLO Series systems that
contain both 7100 nodes and E3 Series or S3 Series nodes.
Report Extra Node Troubles - When enabled, the system will supervise for nodes that are
present on the network but are not in the configured network map.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to E3 Series Standalone or S3 Series Standalone
applications.
NOTE: This configuration option is available only if the CAMWorks Project contains one or
more E3 Series or S3 Series FACP nodes or one or more NGA nodes.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60 or 90 Minutes)
if the system contains at least one 7100 panel, or (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 Minutes) if the
system does not contain a 7100 panel. This setting will affect all nodes in the system that
support walk test.
Action Condition Acknowledged By - This configuration option selects whether the
Trouble Acknowledge button is used to acknowledge Action (pre-alarm) conditions or the
Alarm Acknowledge button is used to acknowledge Action conditions. This setting defaults
to the Alarm Acknowledge button. This setting is not available when 7100 nodes are
present in the network.
NOTE: This setting is not available in mixed E3 Series / NetSOLO Series systems that
contain both 7100 nodes and E3 Series or S3 Series nodes.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
(or region), unless the user scrolls the events manually.
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
a User Defined Type 36 should be used instead.
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
In CAMWorks, there are certain configuration settings that affect all nodes within a region.
Specifically, these are the Night/Weekend/Holiday 43 settings.
In S3 Series, E3 Series and NetSOLO Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of
the sensors for particular times during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be
used to increase sensitivity for those times when a building is not in use. When the system's
real-time clock reaches a configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use
the Night Sensitivity settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that
occurs during this time will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM
bit 440 (Day Alarm or Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Select Region - Choose the network region that the settings on this screen will modify from
the drop-down list.
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
NOTE: Only the hour may be selected if a network region contains a mixture of 7100 and
ILI-E3 Series or S3Series nodes.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.
Holiday Schedule - Configure Holidays for Night sensitivity operation by clicking on the
calendar icon ( ). A calendar will be displayed. Select the holiday by clicking on the day of
the month. The user can move through the calendar by clicking on the arrow icons located
at the top of the calendar. The user may enter up to sixteen holidays. Dates can be cleared
by placing a check in the "Sel" column next to the appropriate holiday and clicking the Clear
button at the bottom of the window.
NOTE: Holidays 11-16 are not available on 7100 panels and cannot be used in network
regions that contain both 7100 and ILI-E3 Series or S3 Series nodes.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
This screen contains certain network-related options for each node. Each node in the
current project is displayed in a grid. This grid displays several pieces of information related
to each node. These settings, which cannot be edited on this screen, include the node
number, the node type, the system ID label, the node description and the node's region.
The settings that can be modified from this screen include:
Node Type - Selecting a node type in this drop-down list will cause CAMWorks to display
only nodes of the selected type in the grid below.
Region Number - Selecting a region number in this drop-down list will cause CAMWorks to
display only nodes that are members of selected region in the grid below.
Net Global Report - If this option is turned on, this node will report all events that occur on
the network. If it is turned off, it will only report events from other nodes in the same region
24 . This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: On NGA nodes, this option will be automatically turned on by enabling the
Proprietary Supervising Station mode, and cannot be disabled until the Proprietary
Supervising Station mode is disabled.
Net Global Reset - If this option is turned on, a reset command that originates from this
node will reset the entire network. If it is turned off, it will only reset other nodes in the same
region 24 . This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
Network Global Silence Transmitter - Selecting this option will allow Silence requests to
be sent from this node to nodes in other regions that are configured as a "Network Global
Silence Receiver". This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: When the "Network Global Silence Transmitter" option is enabled, the Signal
Silence buttons will function as Silence only. Unsilence will no longer be available,
however subsequent alarms will re-activate silenced output devices.
Network Global Silence Receiver - Selecting this option will allow this node to receive
silence requests from nodes in other regions that are configured as a "Network Global
Silence Transmitter". If enabled, this node will send silence request commands to the other
nodes in the same region as this node. This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and
INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: Only one node per region may be configured as a "Network Global Silence
Receiver".
NOTE: In networked systems where FocalPoint is connected, one node per region must
be configured as the "Network Global Silence Receiver" for that region in order for
FocalPoint's signal silence commands to properly function.
NOTE: In single-region systems where FocalPoint is connected, the node that FocalPoint
is connected to must be configured as a "Network Global Silence Receiver" in order for
FocalPoint's signal silence commands to properly function.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

a 7100 if the network already contains an S3 Series (Apollo) FACP, ILI95-E3 Series or
ANX node. The Add Node window also prevents adding an S3 Series (Apollo) FACP or
ILI95-E3 Series node when a network already contains a 7100. Likewise, the Add Node
window also prevents adding an ANX node when a network already contains a 7100.
System Label - Enter up to nineteen (19) characters that will be downloaded to the panel to
identify events that originate from this node.
Region - This option selects which network region 24 this node belongs to. This can range
from 0 to 63.

The Upgrade License function is used to update the CAMWorks License Key. Doing so is
necessary under three scenarios:
NOTE: The CAMWorks License Key must be connected to the computer in order to use
this function.
When Upgrade License is selected from the Tools tab 45 in The Ribbon 27 , CAMWorks will
open a "Browse for File" dialog box. The user must select the .EXE or .V2C file that
contains the license information supplied by Gamewell-FCI.
NOTE: This function cannot be used if a CAMWorks project is currently open. If one is
currently open, CAMWorks will prompt the user to close the project.
Once the .EXE or .V2C file has been selected, an "Apply License File" screen appears. All
that the user needs to do is click on the "Apply License" button. The screen will display
status information about the key upgrade process.
Once the key upgrade process is complete, the user can close the "Apply License File"
screen. The license key upgrade can be confirmed in the License Information 52 screen,
which is available from the Tools tab 45 in The Ribbon 27 .
NOTE: Gamewell-FCI's Policy on Issuing of CAMWorks License Keys, as well as the Key
Renewal Request form, are available in both English and Spanish.
On this screen, the user can view information about the CAMWorks Key 20 that is currently
connected to the PC. The information that is displayed includes the following:
This information is for reference only. The key can be upgraded (to extend the expiration
date or add support for additional node types) via the Upgrade Key 51 function.
High-level CAM 21 expressions, written in the form of a Boolean logic expression, are
translated into what is termed Low-Level CAMs, otherwise known as Advanced CAM
Programming 920 before they are downloaded to a target node. In some situations, it may be
necessary to examine the translated low-level CAMs especially for Technical Support 932
reasons. In order to examine the translated CAMs, it is necessary to use the "Generate Low
Level CAMs" function.
Clicking on the "Generate Low Level CAMs" icon in the Ribbon 27 opens a window
requesting the node to generate Low-level CAMs from. Once the node has been chosen,
clicking OK causes CAMWorks to convert all high-level CAMs into low-level. CAMWorks
then saves these CAMs in a text file located in the Log folder contained within the project
folder. CAMWorks will pop up a message to indicate exactly where the low-level CAM text
file was saved.

3 Project Explorer
The Project Explorer, located by default on the left of the CAMWorks window, is one of the
most important elements of the new CAMWorks user interface. It is through here that all
node configuration screens can be reached.
The Project Explorer is organized as a hierarchical list, much like Windows Explorer. This
means that icons are organized such that icons can appear under other icons. If an icon
has a "+" icon to its left, that icon can be expanded to reveal other icons that belong to that
icon. If an icon has a "-" icon to its left, all of the icons belonging to the the icon may be
hidden by clicking the "-" icon. Below is an example of how the Project Explorer is
organized.
In this example, "HelpFile" is the name of the project. Clicking on the name "HelpFile" or the
icon beside it will open the Node Summary 57 screen (called System Overview for S3 Series
Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or 7100 Standalone projects) in the main area 53 of the
CAMWorks window. Besides some of the icons are small "+" or "-" icons. These icons
either reveal (the "+" icon) or hide (the "-" icon) other icons that "belong to" another icon. In
this example, Project Globals 61 "belongs to" the Project icon (titled "HelpFile" in this
example.) The Network Settings 61 , Silence Settings 69 and Regional Settings 70 icons all
"belong to" the Project Globals 61 icon. The Network Settings 61 and Regional Settings 70
icons both have their own set of icons that "belong to" them, but Silence Settings 69 does
not (because there is no "+" or "-" icon beside it).
NOTE: Clicking on some icons will open a new screen in the main area 53 of the
CAMWorks window, while clicking other icons will not open a new screen in the main area
53 of the CAMWorks window
At the very top of the Project Explorer is an icon representing the current project itself.
Clicking on the Project icon will open the Node Summary 57 screen (called System
Overview for S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or 7100 Standalone projects),
which can be considered "home base" in your project. Project Globals 61 is the next icon in
the list. This icon provides access to various system wide configuration settings. Below
Project Globals 61 are icons for each node type that is present in the project.
The Project Explorer itself contains a title bar and one small toolbar. The title bar contains
the name "Project Explorer" as well as a small "push-pin" icon and a small "x" icon. The
"push-pin" icon is used to make the Project Explorer always display, unless hidden (push-pin
facing vertically) or auto-hide (push-pin facing horizontally). When set to auto-hide, the
Project Explorer will shrink down to the side of the screen, allowing for more room to display
the main window. Hovering the mouse pointer over the "Project Explorer" text on the edge
of the window will temporarily display the full Project Explorer on top of the main window.
The "x" icon in the toolbar will hide the Project Explorer. The Project Explorer may be
unhidden using the Show/Hide Project Explorer 35 command in the View tab 34 of The
Ribbon 27 .
The Project Explorer may be moved from its default location (if the push-pin icon is oriented
vertically) by clicking and dragging the Project Explorer title bar. The Project Explorer may "
float" as a secondary window that appears above the main window, or may be dragged to
one of the four edges of the window and "docked".
The Project Explorer toolbar contains a drop-down list that allows the user to filter what icons
are displayed within the Project Explorer. The available selections depend on the types of
nodes contained within the current project. Project Globals 61 is always included in the
drop-down list. Regardless of the selection, the Project icon will always be present.
At the top of the Node Summary screen are three drop-down lists. These lists allow the user
to filter the list of nodes that will appear in the grid. The nodes may be filtered by node type,
network region or whether they've been downloaded or not.
At the bottom of the window are four command buttons. These are used to Add nodes 59 ,
Delete nodes 60 , Save any of the changes made on this screen or Close the window.
The grid contains a grid that lists all of nodes that are configured in the project. The grid
contains the following fields:
Sel - Select the nodes that will be deleted using the Delete Node 60 function.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or
7100 Standalone applications.
Enable - Double-clicking this field (or, if this field is currently selected, pressing the space
bar) will toggle whether the selected node should be considered enabled or disabled. See
this page 59 for more information.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or
7100 Standalone applications.
Node # - The network address of the node. This field may not be edited. This field is not
available for 7100 Standalone projects.
Node Type - The type of node at this address. This field may not be edited. This field is not
available for 7100 Standalone projects.
System ID Label - The system ID label is used to identify this node. It is also included in
event report displays and printouts. Up to 19 characters may be entered.
NOTE: Even though the ANX-MR appears as two nodes, it has only one System ID
Label. Both System ID Label fields associated with the ANX-MR will change when the
other is changed.
Node Description - This field may be used to include descriptive information about the
node, for example its location and/or function. This information is used for programming
reference only and is not downloaded to any node. This field is called System Description
for S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or 7100 Standalone projects.
Region - This option selects which network region 24 this node belongs to. This can range
from 0 to 63.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or
7100 Standalone applications.
NOTE: Some special considerations must be taken into account when assigning regions
on multi-ring systems. Please see the Network Regions 24 help topic for more
information.
Created On - The date that this node was created. This field may not be edited.
Validation - Indicates whether the Program Validation process has been run since this node
(or panel for S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series Standalone or 7100 Standalone projects) has
been modified. This field may not be edited.
Last Modified - The date that this node was last modified. This field may not be edited.
Downloaded - Indicates YES if the node has been downloaded since it was last modified,
otherwise it will indicate NO. This field may not be edited.
Last Downloaded - The date and time that this node was most recently downloaded. This
field may not be edited.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
NOTE: These settings apply only to E3 Series / NetSOLO Series Network systems and E3
Series Multi-ring Network projects.
Each node in the system contains a network map that keeps track of all of the nodes that
are expected to be in the system. This information is configured by CAMWorks directly
based upon the nodes that have been defined in the CAMWorks project.
Once a node is configured with a valid network map, it will supervise the network. If it
detects a loss of communication with a node that it expects to be on the network it will issue
a "Node Missing" trouble condition.
The Node Summary screen displays a grid showing all nodes in the system, their type and
whether they are enabled or disabled. To disable certain nodes, all one needs to do is
double-click the green button in the Enabled field to turn the button gray. Likewise, double-
clicking the gray button in the Enabled field restores the node into the network map.
NOTE: Enable/Disable node only affects the supervision of the network. "Disabled" nodes
will still function normally.
NOTE: "Node Xtra" troubles may be reported by the system if a node, that is configured
as "Disabled", is actually present in the the system if the "Report Extra Node Troubles"
option in the Project Globals > Network Settings > Miscellaneous 41 screen is enabled,
and the system contains one or more ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series or ANX nodes.
In order to add a new node to the project, CAMWorks prompts the user to provide the
following information:
Node Number - Select an available node number from the drop-down list. Addresses that
are already in use are not shown in the list.
Node Type - Select the node type that will be added using one of the option buttons.
NOTE: A network may not contain 7100 nodes if S3 Series (Apollo) FACP, ANX or
ILI95-E3 Series nodes are present in the system. The Add Node window prevents adding
a 7100 if the network already contains an S3 Series (Apollo) FACP, ILI95-E3 Series or
ANX node. The Add Node window also prevents adding an S3 Series (Apollo) FACP or
ILI95-E3 Series node when a network already contains a 7100. Likewise, the Add Node
window also prevents adding an ANX node when a network already contains a 7100.
System Label - Enter up to nineteen (19) characters that will be downloaded to the panel to
identify events that originate from this node.
Region - This option selects which network region 24 this node belongs to. This can range
from 0 to 63.
NOTE: Some special considerations must be taken into account when assigning regions
on multi-ring systems. Please see the Network Regions 24 help topic for more
information.
OK - This will create the new node and close this window.
Apply - This will create the new node and leave this window open.
Close - This will close the window without creating a new node.
3.1.3 Delete Node
Selecting Delete will remove the selected node(s) from the current project. All data
associated with selected nodes is permanently deleted. There is no recovery method for
retrieving deleted nodes.
NOTE: If a project contains more than seven INI-7100 nodes, an NGA, S3 Series (System
Sensor) FACP or ILI-MB-E3 must be present in the system in order to satisfy UL 864 9th
edition requirements regarding the system event log. The Delete Node function will not
permit the user to delete nodes so that a network would contain more than seven INI-7100
nodes without an NGA, S3 Series (System Sensor) FACP or ILI-MB-E3.
NOTE: If the user elects to delete the ANX-MR from an E3 Series Multi-ring Network
project, all nodes on "Ring 2" will be deleted as well as the ANX-MR. The project will be
down-converted into a standard E3 Series / NetSOLO Series Network project.
CAMWorks will automatically create a backup of the project file before deleting the ANX-
MR.
When the Project Globals icon in the Project Explorer is expanded by clicking the small "+"
button next to the Project Globals icon, the following icons are displayed under Project
Globals:
Network Settings 61
Silence Settings 69
Regional Settings 70
Passwords 61
Miscellaneous Settings 66
Display Priorities 67
3.2.1.1 Passwords
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
Since this is a Project Level option, this will affect all nodes present in the system.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
NOTE: These device types can be used with 7100 nodes, ILI-E3 Series nodes and S3
Series (System Sensor) FACPs, but not with ILI95-E3 Series nodes or S3 Series (Apollo)
FACPs.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
SLC Type - Select whether this device type should be a System Sensor or Apollo device
type. This selection may or may not be available, depending on the nodes that are present
in the current project.
NOTE: This setting is fixed to "System Sensor" for the 7100 User Defined Device Types.
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:

Form-C Module, SCE-95 or RCE-95. This indicates whether this device type can be
silenced or not.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
3.2.1.3 Miscellaneous
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
NOTE: This setting is not available in mixed E3 Series / NetSOLO Series systems that
contain both 7100 nodes and E3 Series or S3 Series nodes.
Report Extra Node Troubles - When enabled, the system will supervise for nodes that are
present on the network but are not in the configured network map.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to E3 Series Standalone or S3 Series Standalone
applications.
NOTE: This configuration option is available only if the CAMWorks Project contains one or
more E3 Series or S3 Series FACP nodes or one or more NGA nodes.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60 or 90 Minutes)
if the system contains at least one 7100 panel, or (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 Minutes) if the
system does not contain a 7100 panel. This setting will affect all nodes in the system that
support walk test.
Action Condition Acknowledged By - This configuration option selects whether the
Trouble Acknowledge button is used to acknowledge Action (pre-alarm) conditions or the
Alarm Acknowledge button is used to acknowledge Action conditions. This setting defaults
to the Alarm Acknowledge button. This setting is not available when 7100 nodes are
present in the network.
NOTE: This setting is not available in mixed E3 Series / NetSOLO Series systems that
contain both 7100 nodes and E3 Series or S3 Series nodes.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes only.
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
a User Defined Type 36 should be used instead.
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
This screen contains certain network-related options for each node. Each node in the
current project is displayed in a grid. This grid displays several pieces of information related
to each node. These settings, which cannot be edited on this screen, include the node
number, the node type, the system ID label, the node description and the node's region.
The settings that can be modified from this screen include:
Node Type - Selecting a node type in this drop-down list will cause CAMWorks to display
only nodes of the selected type in the grid below.
Region Number - Selecting a region number in this drop-down list will cause CAMWorks to
display only nodes that are members of selected region in the grid below.
Net Global Report - If this option is turned on, this node will report all events that occur on
the network. If it is turned off, it will only report events from other nodes in the same region
24 . This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: On NGA nodes, this option will be automatically turned on by enabling the
Proprietary Supervising Station mode, and cannot be disabled until the Proprietary
Supervising Station mode is disabled.
Net Global Reset - If this option is turned on, a reset command that originates from this
node will reset the entire network. If it is turned off, it will only reset other nodes in the same
region 24 . This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
Network Global Silence Transmitter - Selecting this option will allow Silence requests to
be sent from this node to nodes in other regions that are configured as a "Network Global
Silence Receiver". This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: When the "Network Global Silence Transmitter" option is enabled, the Signal
Silence buttons will function as Silence only. Unsilence will no longer be available,
however subsequent alarms will re-activate silenced output devices.
Network Global Silence Receiver - Selecting this option will allow this node to receive
silence requests from nodes in other regions that are configured as a "Network Global
Silence Transmitter". If enabled, this node will send silence request commands to the other
nodes in the same region as this node. This setting is not available on INCC, INX, and
INI-VGE nodes.
NOTE: Only one node per region may be configured as a "Network Global Silence
Receiver".
NOTE: In networked systems where FocalPoint is connected, one node per region must
be configured as the "Network Global Silence Receiver" for that region in order for
FocalPoint's signal silence commands to properly function.
NOTE: In single-region systems where FocalPoint is connected, the node that FocalPoint

In S3 Series, E3 Series and NetSOLO Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of
the sensors for particular times during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be
used to increase sensitivity for those times when a building is not in use. When the system's
real-time clock reaches a configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use
the Night Sensitivity settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that
occurs during this time will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM
bit 440 (Day Alarm or Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)

3.16.1 Copy Node
Copy Node Configuration allows the user to copy configuration data from one node within a
project to another node within the same project. This is useful when multiple nodes within a
project require similar configuration.
The Copy Node Configuration window prompts the user for the following information:
Node Type - Select the type of node to be copied from the drop-down list.
Source Node - Select the node to be copied from the drop-down list.
Destination Node - Select an available node number from the drop-down list. Note that
addresses that are already in use are not shown in the list.
Node Features - Each node type contains various types of information that may be copied.
The various selection boxes allow the user to select what aspects of the source node should
be copied to the destination node.
NOTE: The Copy Node Configuration function requires that both the source and
destination nodes be of the same node type, with the following exceptions:
1. It is possible to copy the configuration of an ILI-MB-E3 to an ILI-S-E3.
2. It is possible to copy the configuration of an ILI-S-E3 to an ILI-MB-E3.
3. It is possible to copy the configuration of an ILI95-MB-E3 to an ILI95-S-E3.
4. It is possible to copy the configuration of an ILI95-S-E3 to an ILI95-MB-E3.
NOTE: A Windows printer must be configured properly to use this option. In addition, the
printout will be made to the printer that has been selected as the "default" in the Windows
Control Panel.

4.1 Basic steps in configuring an S3 Series Panel
4.1.1 Programming node-wide parameters and defaults
There are many global programming options available in the S3 Series system. Most of
these options have been initialized to default settings when the project was created and
initialized. These default settings should be appropriate for a basic S3 Series configuration.
However, any or all of these parameters may be modified to suit the needs of any individual
custom configuration.
To modify any of these settings, select the appropriate icons under the current S3 Series
node in the Project Explorer 56 .
The following settings, located in Project Globals, will affect the S3 Series (Apollo) FACP:
Passwords 35
User Defined Types 36
Miscellaneous Globals 41
Display Priorities 41
The following Regional Settings will affect the S3 Series (Apollo) FACP:
Night/Weekend/Holiday Schedule 43
Finally, there are settings on the Silence Settings 44 and Node Summary 57 screens that
also affect the S3 Series (Apollo) FACP.
After completing globals programming, you're ready to continue with "Programming loop
devices and groups".
4.1.2 Programming loop devices and groups
Each S3 Series (Apollo) FACP can have up to two SLC's. There are 126 total addresses
available for programming on each SLC. Sensors, monitor elements and control elements all
share the address range of 1 - 126.
Each device address has a number of programmable options available. These include
options such as Device Type, Input Group (if the device is a sensor or a monitor element),
Output Group (if the device is a control element), Description Label, etc.
To program the device types and I/O groups for each address, select the Devices screen
from the Project Explorer 56 and then select either the Input Devices 122 (all sensors and
monitor elements) or Output Devices 127 (all control elements) tab at the top of the window.
The entry screens for these types are very similar. The main difference is the list of device
types that are available on each entry screen.
See Input Devices 122 and Output Devices 127 for programming information on these entry
screens.
After completing SLC devices and groups entries, continue to "Entering Labels and
modifying default settings for SLC devices"
4.1.3 Entering labels and modifying default settings for loop devices
To enter labels for each loop device, select either the Input Devices (all sensors and monitor
elements) or Output Devices (all control elements) icon from the Project Explorer 56 .
To enter a label or modify the global default settings for any device, select the appropriate
device from the grid. Labels may be entered for each address in the description label entry
field. Labels can be up to 40 characters in length.
Other fields can also can be modified by address on the entry grid. Click on the following
help links to view programming information for the various device types.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks
will download SLC device labels or CAM Text messages to the selected node.
Send Virtual Switch Labels (S3 Series FACP and ANX nodes only) - When
selected, CAMWorks will download Virtual Switch labels to the selected node.
Send Configuration - When selected, CAMWorks will download the configuration to
the selected node.
Download Screen Saver (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download
images to the NGA for use as a screen saver.
Download Logo (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download a user
Download -
Click on this button to begin the download. The user will be prompted to enter the system
Level 4 access code before the download will begin. If all goes well, the Download process
will continue until completed. The panel will reset following a successful download.
NOTE: If the system has not been previously configured, you should enter the system
default level 4 password. If a custom level 4 password has already been downloaded to
the panel, then that code should be entered instead.
Close -
Click on this command button to exit this screen.
Validation -
Click on this button to open the Program Validation 49 screen to scan the current project for
known types of configuration errors.
7100 Upload -
Click on this button upload a configuration from a 7100 panel. This function is only available
for 7100 Standalone projects. See this page 870 for more information.
4.1.5 Printing/Viewing configuration data tables
There are two options available for printing configuration files in CAMWorks. To print all
reports at once, right-click the current node icon in the Project Explorer 56 and select Print
Node. To view or print individual reports, click on the current node icon in the Project
Explorer 56 to bring up the Report Viewer window. In this screen, any available report can
be selected for viewing or printing.
To place a Control Element in a General Output List, select the Devices 122 icon from the
Project Explorer 56 and then the Output Devices 127 tab.
NOTE: General Output List assignments are not available for Building Control Element
devices.
By assigning individual inputs and outputs to groups the user is able to create relationships
between these groups.
Input devices can be assigned to as many as four input groups (group 1-99, 300-499) in the
Input Devices screen.
SLC output devices may be assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group
125-224, 500-599) in the Output Devices screen.
Built-in outputs, such as the Notification Appliances and the Municipal Circuit may be
assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group 125-224, 500-599) in the NAC
Settings screen.
NOTE: The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs do not have any direct linkage
between input groups and output groups. All custom input/output relationships
must be done through Conditional Action Maps (CAMs) 21 .
On S3 Series Standalone systems, the Input/Output Relation 108 screen can be used as
method of creating the CAM expressions. The traditional CAM Output Group 144 screen may
also be be used.
4.2.3 Create a custom display banner for panel
The System ID Label appears on the panel display when the system is in "System Normal"
condition. This label will also appear as a header for any event report that originates from
this node. Any node that prints the event through it's serial port will include this information.
The System ID Label is configured in the Node Summary 57 screen, which is called System
Overview for non-networked projects. Enter the label text in the System ID Label text box.
This label can be up to 19 characters in length and may not be blank. Click on the Save
button to save the entry.
4.2.4 Create my own SLC device types
The E3 Series and S3 Series allow the user to define up to forty User Defined device types.
The first ten are 7100 compatible User Defined Device Types and are restricted to AMM
modules only. The remaining User Defined Device Types allow much greater flexibility.
The User Defined Device Types are configured on a project-level instead of the node-level.
To access these settings, you must access the User Defined Types screen, which may be
found in the Project Globals 35 > Network Settings 35 > User Defined Types 36 tab in The
Ribbon 27 , or by accessing the User Defined Types 62 icon, which is under the Network
Settings 61 icon under Project Globals 61 in the Project Explorer 56 .
4.2.5 Disable downloading for a particular SLC address?
Some projects may have to be completed in phases. CAMWorks allows the user to
configure all of the points in the system and download only those devices that are physically
present in the system at any given time.
The Input Devices and Output devices screens contain an Active field. The Active field
contains an icon that may be toggled by double-clicking or by pressing the space bar when
the field has the focus (the background of the field will be highlighted when the field has the
focus). The icon itself will turn green to indicate that that address is active, or gray to
indicate that the address is inactive. When downloading a configuration, the inactive
devices will be skipped. When the inactive devices are ready to be downloaded, just toggle
the Active icons back to green, and they will be sent to the panel.
4.2.6 Disable DACT-E3
If the DACT-E3 is present in the system, the DACT Settings screen can be used to
configure the DACT-E3. In CAMWorks, the DACT-E3 is enabled automatically. To disable
the DACT-E3, Select the General Settings screen under the S3 Series FACP node icon in
the Project Explorer 53 and then select the DACT Settings tab. Then, uncheck the Enable
DACT checkbox. After completing entry, click on the Save button. The DACT-E3 should now
be disabled.
NOTE: If the Enable DACT option is unchecked, the DACT-E3 is not supervised, and no
event transmissions are attempted. This option must be set to Off (unchecked) for nodes
with no DACT-E3 present.
4.2.7 View selected reports in a window
To view or print individual reports for the current node, select the node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 . Select the report of
interest from the drop-down list and then click the Show Report command button.
This feature displays the reports exactly as they will be printed. If the report contains multiple
pages, you can move among the pages by clicking on the Move Next > and the Move
Previous < arrows located at the top of the screen.
To print the report, click on the Printer icon ( ) on the toolbar at the top of the Report
Viewer window.
4.2.8 Create Zone Codes
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on it's NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The S3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code screen (which can be accessed via the Zone
Code icon under the current node's icon in the Project Explorer 56 ), they can be associated
with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e. Input
Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
4.2.9 Setup a cross zone
The S3 Series provides up to 30 cross zones. There are two types of cross zones available.
One type is groups cross zoning, and the other is point cross zoning.
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column to assign devices to the cross
zone. Click Save and then Close when done.
3.) A selection window will open that will display all devices on the current node that are
eligible to be used for cross zoning. Devices may be selected by placing a check
mark in the selection field (labeled "Sel").
4.) Click the Add button to add the devices to the cross-zone. Devices are removed
from the grid when they are added to the cross zone. Devices can be removed from
the cross zone later if desired.
5.) Click Close to dismiss the Add Devices window.
6.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 238 for
more information.
Group Cross Zone – The S3 Series system provides group cross zoning by assigning Input
Groups on S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series nodes directly to a cross
zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone virtual groups is thirty
groups in any mixture. The system will increment the trigger count when any of the
associated input groups are activated.
NOTE: If an individual Cross Zone input is non-latching, each time it activates it will
increase the trigger count. This means that if the input activates, restores and re-activates
it will increment the trigger count twice.
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Select the "Group" Cross zone type for each cross zone that is being used as a
group cross zone.
3.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column .
4.) Assign the desired Input Groups to the Cross Zone. Click Save and then Close
when done.
NOTE: Both a node and a group number must be specified. The node must be an S3
Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3 or ILI95-S-E3.
NOTE: The selected input groups must have devices assigned to it before configuring
cross zoning.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
3.) Set the desired trigger level for the cross zone.
4.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 238 for
more information.
5.) Click Save to save all of the changes.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input devices must
not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected results.
Typically, a general fire alarm is activated when the configured trigger level is met.
However, the response to the Cross Zone activation is programmable via the Configure
Cross Zones screen. Regardless of user programming, the node will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
\Miscellaneous 66 .
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180
Minutes) .
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The SLP Miscellaneous screen incorporates four tabs. There tabs include:
NOTE: This screen appears under the S3 Series FACP only for S3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61
The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
NOTE: These device types can be used with 7100 nodes, ILI-E3 Series nodes and S3
Series (System Sensor) FACPs, but not with ILI95-E3 Series nodes or S3 Series (Apollo)
FACPs.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
SLC Type - Select whether this device type should be a System Sensor or Apollo device
type. This selection may or may not be available, depending on the nodes that are present
in the current project.
NOTE: This setting is fixed to "System Sensor" for the 7100 User Defined Device Types.
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:
Available Physical Device Types for the ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3 and S3 Series (System Sensor)
FACPs:
Available User Defined Device Types for the ILI95-MB-E3, ILI95-S-E3 and S3 Series
(Apollo) FACPs:
System Response Type - Selects the desired response to an activation from this device
type. See tables above for information about the available response types for each physical
device type.
Description - The text that will be associated with this User Defined Type. This will be used
for both on-screen and printed event reports. This description may be up to fourteen
characters in length.
Silenceable - This option applies only when the physical device type is set to Signal Module,
Form-C Module, SCE-95 or RCE-95. This indicates whether this device type can be
silenced or not.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: This screen appears under the S3 Series FACP only for S3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61
\Display Priorities 67 .
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes only.
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
(or region), unless the user scrolls the events manually.
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
a User Defined Type 36 should be used instead.
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.2.3 Passwords
NOTE: This screen appears under the S3 Series FACP only for S3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61
\Passwords 61 .
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: This screen appears under the S3 Series FACP only for S3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Regional Settings
70 \Night/Weekend/Holiday Schedule 70 .
In S3 Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of the sensors for particular times
during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be used to increase sensitivity for
those times when a building is not in use. When the system's real-time clock reaches a
configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use the Night Sensitivity
settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that occurs during this time
will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM bit 440 (Day Alarm or
Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.
Holiday Schedule - Configure Holidays for Night sensitivity operation by clicking on the
calendar icon ( ). A calendar will be displayed. Select the holiday by clicking on the day of
the month. The user can move through the calendar by clicking on the arrow icons located
at the top of the calendar. The user may enter up to sixteen holidays. Dates can be cleared
by placing a check in the "Sel" column next to the appropriate holiday and clicking the Clear
button at the bottom of the window.
4.3.3 Input Output Relation
NOTE: This screen appears only when an S3 Series Standalone project is open.
The Input/Output Relation Screen is a new way to easily build CAM 21 expressions that link
together input and output devices. The screen is composed of three sections:
1.) A list of all input devices. The list includes the node number, device address, device type
and all groups assigned to those devices.
2.) A set of command buttons labeled "OR", "AND", "NOT", "(" and ")".
3.) A list all output groups assigned to output groups on this node (if the "ALL" tab is
selected), or just those that already have CAMs written to them (if the "Configured" tab) is
selected.
The following tasks must be performed before one can build input/output relationships on
this screen.
1.) Assign one or more input devices of any type. These input devices must have at least
one input group assigned to them.
2.) Assign one or more output devices of a non-silenceable type to this node. Like the input
devices, each output device must have at least one output group assigned.
Once those two steps are taken care of, it is easy to begin the process of configuring
relationships between the input and output devices. To start, select the desired output
group from the list at the bottom of the screen. Once that is done, the row that contains the
selected output group will be highlighted yellow.
Then, select one of the input groups from the grid at the top of the screen. The term "NxGy"
will appear appended to the CAM expression for the selected output group. The "x" and "y"
numbers will vary based on the input device and input group chosen.
Next, select the desired logic operator (AND, OR or NOT) using one of the buttons.
This process can be repeated until the complete CAM expression has been built.
At any point, the user can manually edit any of the CAM expressions built on this screen
either directly on this screen (by clicking on the CAM expression in the list at the bottom of
the screen) or via the CAM Output Groups 144 screen.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
This entry screen contains various system options that pertain to this S3 Series (Apollo)
FACP node. The entry fields are grouped as follows:
General Settings -
RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second) used
by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections range from
115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
Enable Supervision of RS-232 Port For Use With - This setting should be
set according to what type of device is normally connected to the node's
serial port. This setting should be set to "Printer" if a printer is connected to
this node's serial port and trouble reporting for printer out of paper or printer
offline conditions is desirable. Set this option to "None" if no printer is
connected.
SLC Class A - Select this if the SLC loops are wired Class A (Style 6 or
Style 7).
PAS Night ByPass - If this setting is turned on, then devices configured for
Positive Alarm Sequence will automatically go into alarm during the defined
Night hours as well as the defined Weekend and Holiday days.
Municipal Circuit is used for Releasing Service - When enabled, the word
"RELEASE" will be appended to displayed event reports when the Municipal
Circuit is activated. In addition, bit #414 in the System Status Map will be
true when the Municipal Circuit is activated. Finally, a Node 0 Regional
Releasing Status bit will be true if this node belongs to Region 24 0 - Region
24 31.
Fast CAM Timers - When enabled, the CAM timers have a resolution of
one-half second. When disabled, CAM timers have a one-second resolution.
Inhibit Reset & Silence Following First Alarm - When enabled, the
system may not be silenced or reset for sixty seconds following an initial
alarm.
LED Blink -
On - Checking this box will turn on the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Off - Checking this box will turn off the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Delays/TimeOut -
NOTE: These delay and timing functions are only available if the NAC(s)
are NOT assigned to CAMable output groups.
NAC Cut Off Delay - This option allows the NAC circuits to be
automatically silenced after a set period of time. Note that this delay
begins after the silence inhibit delay ends. This setting may range from
No CutOff (meaning no delay is applied) to fifty (50) minutes (in five (5)
minute increments).
Silence Inhibit Delay - This setting will prevent the system from being
silenced after an alarm. This setting may range from No delay to
twenty-one (21) minutes (in two (2) minute increments).
PAS Acknowledge Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to acknowledge the alarm. If the fire alarm is not
acknowledged within this time interval the panel will cancel Positive Alarm
Sequence and go straight into fire alarm. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 15 seconds.
PAS Investigate Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to investigate the source of the fire alarm once it
has been acknowledged. If the panel is not reset within this time interval
the system will go into fire alarm. However, if a subsequent fire alarm
occurs before this interval times out the system will go into fire alarm,
canceling the Positive Alarm Sequence. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 180 seconds.
Number of Annunciators/Displays -
LCD 7100 Annunciators - This sets the number of remote LCD-7100 displays
connected to this S3 Series FACP node. Up to five LCD-7100 annunciators
may be connected to an S3 Series FACP.
Log Settings -
These events can be viewed on-screen using the View Log menu.
NOTE: This setting requires all ILI and ILI95 nodes to have Version

NOTE: The CO/Gas Alarm coded pattern is set to Coded 4's by default. All other
coded patterns are set to steady by default.
In addition to the four system conditions listed above, a fifth condition called "Post Code" is
available. This setting determines the code that the NAC circuits will run after zone coding
has completed. Any of the standard codes listed above may be used as a post-code. The
post-code may be enabled via the "NACs After Last Code" option on the General Settings
screen.
See this page 121 for more information about Zone Code options.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The S3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in the Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
Zone Code Speed - Selects the speed of the zone coding, 60 beats per minute or 120
beats per minute.
Rounds per Zone Code - Selects how many times each code runs. This setting can be for
either three or four runs.
NACs after Last Code - This setting indicates what state the NAC circuits will be in after the
last zone code runs. This can be set to either Off or Post Code (which allows a standard
code or steady operation.) See this page 119 for more information.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.5 Devices
The Devices screen incorporates two tabs. These tabs include:
The input devices screen is used to configure all sensors and monitor elements connected
to an S3 Series (Apollo) FACP node.
At the very top of the screen is a field labeled "Show Devices". This field allows the user to
filter the list of devices in the grid below to show all devices, all Ion sensors, all Photo
sensors, all Thermal sensors or all Monitor Elements. Once a selection is made,
CAMWorks will automatically filter the list.
Below the "Show Devices" field is a large grid that displays all of the input devices that are
configured, based on the filter setting above. The following are the configurable settings for
Input Devices that appear in the grid.
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 40.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Input Group Numbers - To modify one of the four numbers, enter the group (1-99,
300-499) number in the Group field. (Outputs assigned to this group will be shown in the list
at the bottom of the screen). If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the S3 Series does allow for multiple input groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set
its respective Trouble SSM bit.
WARNING: Group 0, which really means "No Group Assignment", may be assigned to
input devices. There is no bit in the System Status Map for Group 0. Therefore, no
custom I/O relationships may be created for an input device if all of its Input Group
assignments are set to Group 0.
NOTE: When an input device produces a verification, PAS, cross zone or multilevel
pre-alarm, only the first group assigned to the device will be activated. Once the device
produces a fire alarm response alarm groups will be activated (see note in blue below).
For cross zone alarms, only the first group assigned will be activated upon the
pre-alarm. The rest of the groups assigned to the device will not activate. Instead, the
groups assigned to the cross zone will activate when the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: The group assignment fields are color coded for device types that produce the
following response types:
Color Description
BLUE Groups colored BLUE will activate upon a CO or Gas alarm condition
from the device.
NO COLOR If any of the other group columns are color coded for this device, the
group assigned to this column will not activate.
NOTE: Action (pre-alarm) conditions and supervisory conditions will only activate the
input group assigned to first group column.
NOTE: The third and fourth Input Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 434 for more information on the
Group Disable feature.

Fan Restart - The E3 Series supports a "Fan Restart" configuration option for Control
Element devices. If this option is selected, the panel leaves such devices undisturbed during
reset. The panel indicates a Trouble condition "FANS OFF" fault message after the reset. To
turn off the fan restart Control Elements, a function is available on the keypad's zero (0) key
or, optionally an ASM-16/ANU-48 switch. Activating the key or switch deactivates the Control
Elements that were left on during reset and cancels the "FANS OFF" fault.
NOTE: Fan Restart may not be assigned to Control Elements that are assigned to the
General Trouble output list.
Seq Restart - The E3 Series also provides "sequential restart" capability. Any outputs
configured for sequential restart are deactivated at a slow rate, either during reset (if not
configured for "Fan Restart"), or upon use of the zero "0" key or, optionally an
ASM-16/ANU-48 switch (if configured for "Fan Restart"). The time delay interval for
sequential reset is set in the Globals/Miscellaneous entry screen.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 197 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Feedback Reporting -
The RCE-95 supports supervising its output state. Feedback verification uses the device’s
ON/OFF state and the device's feedback input state to determine a “feedback error”
condition. The RCE-95 is considered to have a feedback error under one or both of two
conditions: output ON with feedback input not shorted, or output OFF with feedback input
shorted. A feedback error will produce an OUTPUT FAIL system trouble, but only if
configured to do so. This option selects whether or not to issue a Feedback Error. This
may be set to Never, Always, or Only When Output Is On.
NOTE: Disabling Feedback Reporting will disable ALL feedback supervision of the
RCE-95.
NOTE: The RCE-95 must have DIP Switch S1 - Switch #8 (labeled as "A" on the RCE-95)
in the OPEN (OFF) position to enable the feedback hardware. Feedback Reporting will be
completely disabled if this DIP Switch is in the CLOSED (ON) position, regardless of the
configuration option in CAMWorks.
The following chart describes the behavior of the various feedback settings and states:

Feedback Grp - To provide feedback and LED indication, there is a feedback group
associated with the RCE-95. It is treated as a special-purpose input group. There are two
bits in the ILI95's System Status Map associated with this group which, for other device
types, represent the input’s Trouble and Alarm condition but have different meanings when
the Input Group is assigned as the RCE-95's feedback group.
a) In order for an ASM-16/ANU-48 LED to indicate the RCE-95's on/off state,
the feedback group’s Alarm bit indicates the RCE-95’s ON/OFF state. The bit
is True when the RCE relay is ON and False when it is is OFF.
b) To allow CAMs to verify the actual position of the RCE-95 relay or its
associated external equipment, the group’s Trouble bit shows the state of the
feedback input. The bit is True when the feedback input is shorted, and
False otherwise (open or normal EOL).

there is a trouble condition in the system, this list of outputs will be activated.
Fan Restart - The E3 Series supports a "Fan Restart" configuration option for Control
Element devices. If this option is selected, the panel leaves such devices undisturbed during
reset. The panel indicates a Trouble condition "FANS OFF" fault message after the reset. To
turn off the fan restart Control Elements, a function is available on the keypad's zero (0) key
or, optionally an ASM-16/ANU-48 switch. Activating the key or switch deactivates the Control
Elements that were left on during reset and cancels the "FANS OFF" fault.
NOTE: Fan Restart may not be assigned to Control Elements that are assigned to the
General Trouble output list.
Seq Restart - The E3 Series also provides "sequential restart" capability. Any outputs
configured for sequential restart are deactivated at a slow rate, either during reset (if not
configured for "Fan Restart"), or upon use of the zero "0" key or, optionally an
ASM-16/ANU-48 switch (if configured for "Fan Restart"). The time delay interval for
sequential reset is set in the Globals/Miscellaneous entry screen.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 197 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.5.2.4 BCE-95
The following programmable options affect the BCE-95 (Building Control Element):
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 40.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Group 1 (AUTO ON Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
determine the "Automatic" operation of the ON relay.
Group 2 (AUTO OFF Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
determine the "Automatic" operation of the OFF relay.
Group 3 (Manual ON Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
determine the "Manual" operation of the ON relay.
Group 4 (Manual OFF Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression,
will determine the "Manual" operation of the OFF relay.
NOTE: The Group 3 (Manual ON Group) and Group 4 (Manual OFF Group) output group
assignments may also be assigned to Disable Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699.
See this page 434 for more information on the Group Disable feature.
NOTE: Should a trouble condition occur on a BCE-95 device, only the group assigned to
Group 1 (AUTO ON Group) will set its respective Trouble SSM bit.
NOTE: To prevent conflicts or illegal states, the ILI95 enforces the following
conditions:
· The BCE-95 is a non-silenceable device. Any silence functionality must be
implemented in CAMs.
· If user-disabled, the BCE-95 remains in the standby state (both relays reset)
regardless of any control actions.
· Either Manual state overrides either Auto state.
· If both are active, Manual ON overrides Manual OFF.
· If both are active, Auto ON overrides Auto OFF.
To the right of the grid is the Properties window. The properties include most of the
configuration settings for the device as described below.
NOTE: The settings shown in the Properties window are for the device that is currently
highlighted in the grid.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 197 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Feedback Reporting -
When enabled, a missing feedback EOL resistor will cause a FAULT condition to be
reported. When disabled, a missing feedback EOL resistor will not cause a trouble
condition.
NOTE: Disabling Feedback Reporting will disable ALL feedback supervision of the
BCE-95.
NOTE: The BCE-95 must have DIP Switch S1 - Switch #8 (labeled as "FB" on the
BCE-95) in the OPEN (OFF) position to enable the feedback hardware. Feedback
Reporting will be completely disabled if this DIP Switch is in the CLOSED (ON) position,
regardless of the configuration option in CAMWorks.
The following charts describe the behavior of the various feedback settings:
ON Relay States
Feedback Group 1 (ON Feedback Group) - To provide feedback and LED indication, there
are two feedback groups associated with the BCE-95. These groups are treated as
special-purpose input groups. There are two bits in the ILI95's System Status Map
associated with each feedback group which, for other device types, represent the input’s
Trouble and Alarm condition but have different meanings when the Input Group is assigned
as the BCE-95's feedback group. This field specifies which Input Group will be serving as
the Feedback Group for the BCE-95's ON relay.
a) In order for an ASM-16/ANU-48 LED to indicate the BCE-95's on/off state, the
feedback group’s Alarm bit indicates the BCE-95’s ON/OFF state. The bit is
True when the BCE relay is ON and False when it is is OFF.
b) To allow CAMs to verify the actual position of the BCE-95 relay or its
associated external equipment, the group’s Trouble bit shows the state of the
feedback input. The bit is True when the feedback input is shorted, and
False otherwise (open or normal EOL).
Feedback Group 2 (OFF Feedback Group) - Similar to the ON Feedback Group, but
provides feedback for the BCE-95's OFF relay.
NOTE: A feedback error DOES NOT produce a system trouble. The NGA CAM Text
Message 769 feature could be used for this purpose, if desired.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
Cross Zone - Indicates which virtual cross zone group will be affected by these settings.
This field is read-only.
Cross Zone Type - If this virtual cross zone group will be used as a group cross zone,
select "Group". If it will be used as a point cross zone, select "Point".
Config - Clicking this button opens a secondary screen that allows the user to assign the
desired points (point cross zoning) or input groups (group cross zoning).
Trigger - This option sets the trigger level of the cross zone (how many inputs or sets of
inputs need to activate before the cross zone activates). This can be set from two to seven
for point cross zoning or two to four for group cross zoning.
Response - The S3 Series currently allows two response types. The first is the Alarm
response, which will cause a fire alarm condition when the cross zone is activated. Second
is the non-reporting response. This response allows you to chain multiple cross zones
together or trigger outputs without causing a fire alarm on the system.
Zone Code - When the cross zone is activated it can trigger a zone code to sound, just like
any other input. This menu allows you to select one of up to 63 user-defined zone codes.
Virtual Alarm Group - The cross zone may be configured to trigger an output group or a
scratchpad when the activation threshold has been reached. This may range from 125-224
(Output Groups), 500-599 (Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
Virtual Pre-Alarm Group - When the one or more of the cross zone triggers activates (but
the configured trigger level has not yet been reached), it can be configured to trigger an
output group or a scratchpad. This may range from 125-224 (Output Groups), 500-599
(Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
NOTE: Regardless of user programming, the S3 Series FACP will set bits in its associated
extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross Zone
activation.
Day Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Day output list when the cross
zone is activated during the configured day hours.
Night Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Night output list when the
cross zone is activated during the configured night hours, as well as the defined weekend
and holiday days.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
Below the grid is an information area. This information area contains three tabs of
information. The first is called "CrossZone # > Input Devices", the second is "Input Group #
> Input Devices" and the third is "Used / Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
CrossZone # > Input Devices - This section of the window shows which devices are
assigned to the selected cross zone. Devices may be added by using the Add button below.
To remove devices from the cross zone place a check in the "Sel" column next to the
desired device and click the Delete button below.
Input Group # > Input Devices - This tab shows all input devices that are assigned to the
group that is selected in the "Select Input Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the input groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more input devices
and green if the input group has not been assigned to any input devices. Double-clicking
one of the input groups in this list will add the selected input group to one of the Input Group
fields in the grid if one of the Input Group fields is highlighted.
Group CrossZone > Input Devices - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the devices
that are a member of a group cross zone that is highlighted in the grid above.
See this page 98 for more information about configuring cross zoning.

screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.7 ASM/ANU
Each S3 Series FACP supports a combination of up to sixteen Switch and Annunciator
Modules of the following types:
ASM-16 and ANU-48.
The following settings may be selected for each module through this screen:
Board # - This field simply indicates which module will be affected by these settings. This
field cannot be changed.
Board Type - Select a board type to indicate that a board should be assigned to this
address or select "None", if no board should be assigned to this address.
Lamp Test - Selecting Yes will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to perform a lamp test when it
is reset. Selecting No will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to not perform a lamp test.
At the right of the ASM/ANU screen is a configuration window to allow the configuration of
the module's switches. This window changes depending on which module is selected. The
following fields are displayed in the grid in this window:
Switch Input # - This field is a reference that indicates which switches are available.
Bit # - This field indicates the system status map bit assigned to this switch.
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. Switches one through eight
may also be configured for an Auxiliary Function, except for Switch #6. This auxiliary
function differs for each switch and may be viewed by clicking here. Even though the ANU-
48 only supports eight physical switches, switches #9-16 are displayed as Toggle/Selector
switches to acknowledge the fact that each ANU-48 switch has two bits associated with it in
the System Status Map.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, it will not trigger its
associated bit number.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, its associated LED's will be
taken over by the Auxiliary Function and will no longer be programmable via CAMs.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
NOTE: On the ANU-48, switches #9-16 are always configured as Latching and cannot be
changed.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Description - This descriptive text is available for display while programming CAMs and is
not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
This screen is where the user sets up the following options relating to each of the S3 Series
FACP's 256 Virtual Switches:
Switch Number - This field shows the System Status Map (bitmap) bit location associated
with each switch. This field cannot be edited.
On/Off - Enables or disables this switch. When the switch is disabled (or set as a "Status"
switch), the System Status Map bit associated with this switch may be used as a scratchpad
instead.
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. The switches may be
configured as a "Status" switch instead of "Control." "Status" switches are used only if the
user requires the FocalPoint Workstation to display a status indicator in response to the
TRUE evaluation of CAM expression. Note that if the switch is configured as a "Status"
switch, the System Status Map bit associated with the switch may be used as a scratchpad
instead.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Switch Label - Up to forty characters may be used to describe this switch and its function.
These are downloaded to the system and are displayed by the FocalPoint Workstation.
MNS Switch - Enable this option if this virtual switch performs an MNS function, otherwise
leave it disabled. When enabled, the virtual switch will be reset by an MNS reset instead of
a fire reset.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.9 Annunciators
The LCD-SLP is an annunciator that uses an LCD touchscreen for primary user interaction.
The system supports up to fifteen (15) supervised and fully functional LCD-SLP
annunciators (addressed 1-15) as well as unsupervised (display only) LCD-SLP
annunciators (addressed as 0). The LCD-SLP also includes five user-programmable push-

screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.10 CAM
The CAM icon incorporates ten sub-icons. These icons are used to display the following
CAM screens:
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.

The CAMs in this screen will turn on or off the Scratchpads associated with this node.
Scratchpads can be referred to in other CAM expressions and are extremely useful in
reducing the complexity of other CAM expressions.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be

[****] 155
Schedule 155 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 159 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.10.4.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.10.4.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
4.3.10.4.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAMs on this screen affect the user-programmable LEDs on the LCD-SLP annunciators
connected to this panel. At the top of the screen are three filters:
LCD-SLP No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected LCD-SLP.
Switch No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected switch.
LED Type - Display the CAMs only for the selected type of CAM (ON/Off, Blink, Red or
Green).
The filters are ANDed with each other. This means that only the CAMs that match all criteria
will be displayed in the grid below.
The following describes the four different types of CAMs that control the behavior of each
LCD-SLP programmable LED:
On/Off - A CAM expression written in this area will turn the LED ON steady when the CAM
evaluates to a TRUE and will turn the LED off when the CAM evaluates to a false.
Blink - A CAM expression written in this area will blink the LED when the CAM evaluates to
a TRUE and will turn the LED off (or on steady, based on the On/Off CAM expression) when
the CAM evaluates to a false.
NOTE: The LED blink CAM Expression takes priority over the LED On/Off if both CAM
expressions are TRUE at the same time.
Red - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Red" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Red, unless
the Green CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
Green - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Green" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Green,
unless the Red CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
NOTE: The LED will appear Amber when both the Red and Green CAM Expressions
evaluate to TRUE or both evaluate to FALSE.
NOTE: If an LCD-SLP switch has been configured for its Auxiliary Function, the CAM
entry fields, as well as the description field will be grayed out.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option

above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been

Control Elements -
1.) Disable Input Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Input Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Input Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
2.) Disable Output Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Output Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Output Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
3.) Disable Type Tags - Disable Type Tags allow both input and output devices to be
disabled with the activation of one CAM expression. Disable Type Tags, which range in
number from 600-699, may be assigned to the third and/or fourth Input/Output Group
assignment of a device. When the CAM expression for the indicated Disable Type Tag goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT trouble and
will become disabled.
This feature is not enabled by default. To enable this feature, the user must do the
following:
1.) Open the S3 Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 node that hosts the DACT-E3.
2.) For ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 nodes, open the DACT Settings screen. For S3 Series
FACP nodes, select the General Settings screen and then select the DACT Settings tab.
Ensure that the DACT Enabled checkbox is checked.
4.) Configure custom codes using the Input Devices and Output Devices screens.
NOTE: If this feature is not enabled, the DACT-E3 will use the "Standard" reporting code
format, which is similar to the format used by the 7100.
NOTE: Only events reported from NGA, S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series or ILI95-E3 Series nodes
will be reported using the "custom" reporting code format. Events originating from all
other node types will use the "Standard" reporting code format, which is similar to the
format used by the 7100.
NOTE: All ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 nodes in a network must contain at least V1.2 firmware
in order to take advantage of this feature. All ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3 nodes are
already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade. All S3 Series
nodes are already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade.
NGA nodes require at least V3.00 firmware in order to issue events that include "custom"
reporting codes.

Finally, there are settings on the Silence Settings 44 and Node Summary 57 screens that
also affect the S3 Series (System Sensor) FACP.
After completing globals programming, you're ready to continue with "Programming loop
devices and groups".
5.1.2 Programming loop devices and groups
Each S3 Series (System Sensor) FACP can have up to two SLC's. There are 318 total
addresses available for programming on each SLC. The device addresses for each loop
include 1 - 159 for sensors and 1 - 159 for modules (AMMs and AOMs).
NOTE: Addresses above 99 may only be used in the following two cases:
NOTE: It is possible to use the full address range provided by the Velociti protocol on
E3 Series/S3 Series nodes using Velociti even if other E3 Series/S3 Series nodes are
using CLIP Mode, as long as there are no 7100 panels in the network.
Each device address has a number of programmable options available. These include
options such as Device Type, Input Group (if the device is a sensor or a monitor module),
Output Group (if the device is an output module), Description Label, etc.
To program the device types and I/O groups for each address, select the Devices screen
from the Project Explorer 56 and then select either the Input Devices 230 (all sensors and
monitor modules) or Output Devices 236 (all output modules) tab at the top of the window.
The entry screens for these types are very similar. The main difference is the list of device
types that are available on each entry screen.
See Input Devices 230 and Output Devices 236 for programming information on these entry
screens.
After completing SLC devices and groups entries, continue to "Entering Labels and
modifying default settings for SLC devices"
5.1.3 Entering labels and modifying default settings for loop devices
To enter labels for each loop device, select either the Input Devices (all sensors and AMM's)
or Output Devices (all AOM's) icon from the Project Explorer 56 .
To enter a label or modify the global default settings for any device, select the appropriate
device from the grid. Labels may be entered for each address in the description label entry
field. Labels can be up to 40 characters in length.
Other fields can also can be modified by address on the entry grid. Click on the following
help links to view programming information for the various device types.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
In this section of the screen, CAMWorks presents several options for selecting what data to
download to the target panel. In the case of downloading configuration data to the target
panel, the "Configuration" option button must always be selected. The following options
appear when the user elects to perform a configuration download:
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks
will download SLC device labels or CAM Text messages to the selected node.
Send Virtual Switch Labels (S3 Series FACP and ANX nodes only) - When
selected, CAMWorks will download Virtual Switch labels to the selected node.
Send Configuration - When selected, CAMWorks will download the configuration to
the selected node.
Download Screen Saver (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download
images to the NGA for use as a screen saver.
Download Logo (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download a user
supplied image that will be displayed on the System Normal screen.
Download -
Click on this button to begin the download. The user will be prompted to enter the system
Level 4 access code before the download will begin. If all goes well, the Download process
will continue until completed. The panel will reset following a successful download.
NOTE: If the system has not been previously configured, you should enter the system
default level 4 password. If a custom level 4 password has already been downloaded to
the panel, then that code should be entered instead.
Close -
Click on this command button to exit this screen.
Validation -
Click on this button to open the Program Validation 49 screen to scan the current project for
known types of configuration errors.
7100 Upload -
Click on this button upload a configuration from a 7100 panel. This function is only available
for 7100 Standalone projects. See this page 870 for more information.
5.1.5 Printing/Viewing configuration data tables
There are two options available for printing configuration files in CAMWorks. To print all
reports at once, right-click the current node icon in the Project Explorer 56 and select Print
Node. To view or print individual reports, click on the current node icon in the Project
Explorer 56 to bring up the Report Viewer window. In this screen, any available report can
be selected for viewing or printing.
data entry grid there are checkboxes for each of the General Output Lists. To assign an
output to a list, Click the checkbox to select that item.
To place an AOM in a General Output List, select the Device icon from the Project Explorer
56 and then select the Output Devices 236 tab icon from Project Explorer 56 and follow the
By assigning individual inputs and outputs to groups the user is able to create relationships
between these groups.
Input devices can be assigned to as many as four input groups (group 1-99, 300-499) in the
Input Devices screen.
SLC output devices may be assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group
125-224, 500-599) in the Output Devices screen.
Built-in outputs, such as the Notification Appliances and the Municipal Circuit may be
assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group 125-224, 500-599) in the NAC
Settings screen.
NOTE: The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs do not have any direct linkage
between input groups and output groups. All custom input/output relationships
must be done through Conditional Action Maps (CAMs) 21 .
On S3 Series Standalone systems, the Input/Output Relation 215 screen can be used as
method of creating the CAM expressions. The traditional CAM Output Group 245 screen may
also be be used.
5.2.3 Create a custom display banner for panel
The System ID Label appears on the panel display when the system is in "System Normal"
condition. This label will also appear as a header for any event report that originates from
this node. Any node that prints the event through it's serial port will include this information.
The System ID Label is configured in the Node Summary 57 screen, which is called System
Overview for non-networked projects. Enter the label text in the System ID Label text box.
This label can be up to 19 characters in length and may not be blank. Click on the Save
button to save the entry.
5.2.4 Create my own SLC device types
The E3 Series and S3 Series allow the user to define up to forty User Defined device types.
The first ten are 7100 compatible User Defined Device Types and are restricted to AMM
modules only. The remaining User Defined Device Types allow much greater flexibility.
The User Defined Device Types are configured on a project-level instead of the node-level.
To access these settings, you must access the User Defined Types screen, which may be
found in the Project Globals 35 > Network Settings 35 > User Defined Types 36 tab in The
Ribbon 27 , or by accessing the User Defined Types 62 icon, which is under the Network
Settings 61 icon under Project Globals 61 in the Project Explorer 56 .
5.2.5 Disable downloading for a particular SLC address?
Some projects may have to be completed in phases. CAMWorks allows the user to
configure all of the points in the system and download only those devices that are physically
present in the system at any given time.
The Input Devices and Output devices screens contain an Active field. The Active field
contains an icon that may be toggled by double-clicking or by pressing the space bar when
the field has the focus (the background of the field will be highlighted when the field has the
focus). The icon itself will turn green to indicate that that address is active, or gray to
indicate that the address is inactive. When downloading a configuration, the inactive
devices will be skipped. When the inactive devices are ready to be downloaded, just toggle
the Active icons back to green, and they will be sent to the panel.
5.2.6 Disable DACT-E3
If the DACT-E3 is present in the system, the DACT Settings screen can be used to
configure the DACT-E3. In CAMWorks, the DACT-E3 is enabled automatically. To disable
the DACT-E3, Select the General Settings screen under the S3 Series FACP node icon in
the Project Explorer 53 and then select the DACT Settings tab. Then, uncheck the Enable
DACT checkbox. After completing entry, click on the Save button. The DACT-E3 should now
be disabled.
NOTE: If the Enable DACT option is unchecked, the DACT-E3 is not supervised, and no
event transmissions are attempted. This option must be set to Off (unchecked) for nodes
with no DACT-E3 present.
5.2.7 View selected reports in a window
To view or print individual reports for the current node, select the node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 . Select the report of
interest from the drop-down list and then click the Show Report command button.
This feature displays the reports exactly as they will be printed. If the report contains multiple
pages, you can move among the pages by clicking on the Move Next > and the Move
Previous < arrows located at the top of the screen.
To print the report, click on the Printer icon ( ) on the toolbar at the top of the Report
Viewer window.
5.2.8 Create Zone Codes
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on it's NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The S3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code screen (which can be accessed via the Zone
Code icon under the current node's icon in the Project Explorer 56 ), they can be associated
with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e. Input
Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
5.2.9 Setup a cross zone
The S3 Series provides up to 30 cross zones. There are two types of cross zones available.
One type is groups cross zoning, and the other is point cross zoning.
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column to assign devices to the cross
zone. Click Save and then Close when done.
3.) A selection window will open that will display all devices on the current node that are
eligible to be used for cross zoning. Devices may be selected by placing a check
mark in the selection field (labeled "Sel").
4.) Click the Add button to add the devices to the cross-zone. Devices are removed
from the grid when they are added to the cross zone. Devices can be removed from
the cross zone later if desired.
5.) Click Close to dismiss the Add Devices window.
6.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 238 for
more information.
Group Cross Zone – The S3 Series system provides group cross zoning by assigning Input
Groups on S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series nodes directly to a cross
zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone virtual groups is thirty
groups in any mixture. The system will increment the trigger count when any of the
associated input groups are activated.
NOTE: If an individual Cross Zone input is non-latching, each time it activates it will
increase the trigger count. This means that if the input activates, restores and re-activates
it will increment the trigger count twice.
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Select the "Group" Cross zone type for each cross zone that is being used as a
group cross zone.
3.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column .
4.) Assign the desired Input Groups to the Cross Zone. Click Save and then Close
when done.
NOTE: Both a node and a group number must be specified. The node must be an S3
Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3 or ILI95-S-E3.
NOTE: The selected input groups must have devices assigned to it before configuring
cross zoning.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
3.) Set the desired trigger level for the cross zone.
4.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 238 for
more information.
5.) Click Save to save all of the changes.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input devices must
not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected results.
Typically, a general fire alarm is activated when the configured trigger level is met.
However, the response to the Cross Zone activation is programmable via the Configure
Cross Zones screen. Regardless of user programming, the node will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
\Miscellaneous 66 .
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180
Minutes) .
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The SLP Miscellaneous screen incorporates four tabs. These tabs include:

The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the

\Display Priorities 67 .
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes only.
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
(or region), unless the user scrolls the events manually.
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
a User Defined Type 36 should be used instead.
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
5.3.2.3 Passwords
NOTE: This screen appears under the S3 Series FACP only for S3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61
\Passwords 61 .
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.

70 \Night/Weekend/Holiday Schedule 70 .
In S3 Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of the sensors for particular times
during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be used to increase sensitivity for
those times when a building is not in use. When the system's real-time clock reaches a
configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use the Night Sensitivity
settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that occurs during this time
will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM bit 440 (Day Alarm or
Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.
Holiday Schedule - Configure Holidays for Night sensitivity operation by clicking on the
calendar icon ( ). A calendar will be displayed. Select the holiday by clicking on the day of
the month. The user can move through the calendar by clicking on the arrow icons located
at the top of the calendar. The user may enter up to sixteen holidays. Dates can be cleared
by placing a check in the "Sel" column next to the appropriate holiday and clicking the Clear
button at the bottom of the window.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this

The Input/Output Relation Screen is a new way to easily build CAM 21 expressions that link
together input and output devices. The screen is composed of three sections:
1.) A list of all input devices. The list includes the node number, device address, device type
and all groups assigned to those devices.
2.) A set of command buttons labeled "OR", "AND", "NOT", "(" and ")".
3.) A list all output groups assigned to output groups on this node (if the "ALL" tab is
selected), or just those that already have CAMs written to them (if the "Configured" tab) is
selected.
The following tasks must be performed before one can build input/output relationships on
this screen.
1.) Assign one or more input devices of any type. These input devices must have at least
one input group assigned to them.
2.) Assign one or more output devices of a non-silenceable type to this node. Like the input
devices, each output device must have at least one output group assigned.
Once those two steps are taken care of, it is easy to begin the process of configuring
relationships between the input and output devices. To start, select the desired output
group from the list at the bottom of the screen. Once that is done, the row that contains the
selected output group will be highlighted yellow.
Then, select one of the input groups from the grid at the top of the screen. The term "NxGy"
will appear appended to the CAM expression for the selected output group. The "x" and "y"
numbers will vary based on the input device and input group chosen.
Next, select the desired logic operator (AND, OR or NOT) using one of the buttons.
This process can be repeated until the complete CAM expression has been built.
At any point, the user can manually edit any of the CAM expressions built on this screen
either directly on this screen (by clicking on the CAM expression in the list at the bottom of
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this

This entry screen contains various system options that pertain to this S3 Series (System
Sensor) FACP node. The entry fields are grouped as follows:
General Settings -
RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second) used
by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections range from
115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
Enable Supervision of RS-232 Port For Use With - This setting should be
set according to what type of device is normally connected to the node's
serial port. This setting should be set to "Printer" if a printer is connected to
this node's serial port and trouble reporting for printer out of paper or printer
offline conditions is desirable. Set this option to "None" if no printer is
connected.
SLC Class A - Select this if the SLC loops are wired Class A (Style 6 or
Style 7).
PAS Night ByPass - If this setting is turned on, then devices configured for
Positive Alarm Sequence will automatically go into alarm during the defined
Night hours as well as the defined Weekend and Holiday days.
CLIP Mode - Checking this box enables the use of older FCI
analog/addressable smoke detectors and modules that use the older CLIP
protocol. This option is unchecked by default, enabling the use of Velociti
Series and SmartScan Series smoke detectors and modules. For more
information, see this page.
Municipal Circuit is used for Releasing Service - When enabled, the word
"RELEASE" will be appended to displayed event reports when the Municipal
Circuit is activated. In addition, bit #414 in the System Status Map will be
true when the Municipal Circuit is activated. Finally, a Node 0 Regional
Releasing Status bit will be true if this node belongs to Region 24 0 - Region
24 31.
Fast CAM Timers - When enabled, the CAM timers have a resolution of
one-half second. When disabled, CAM timers have a one-second resolution.
Inhibit Reset & Silence Following First Alarm - When enabled, the
system may not be silenced or reset for sixty seconds following an initial
alarm.
NOTE: These settings are not available when CLIP Mode is selected.
Status Chirp during walk test - When enabled, B200S sounder bases
will produce a brief chirp sound when the sensor that it is connected to is
tested during walk test. If disabled, the B200S sounder bases will be
silent during walk test. This setting is independent of the "Sounder Base
Chirp Activates When" setting below and the individual sounder base chirp
settings in the Input Devices 230 screen.
Sounder base sync via SLC Loop 1 - When enabled, B200S sounder
bases on this Loop will be synchronized via commands sent by the panel
via the SLC. All three coded patterns (Temporal-3, Temporal-4 and March
Time) support being synchronized via the SLC. When disabled, the panel
does not send synchronization commands to the B200S sounder bases.
Sounder base sync via SLC Loop 2 - When enabled, B200S sounder
bases on this Loop will be synchronized via commands sent by the panel
via the SLC. All three coded patterns (Temporal-3, Temporal-4 and March
Time) support being synchronized via the SLC. When disabled, the panel
does not send synchronization commands to the B200S sounder bases.
Sounder Base Chirp Interval - This setting specifies how frequently the
sounder bases will chirp when the chirp feature is activated. Valid settings
range from 5 seconds to 75 seconds (in five second increments).
LED Blink -
On - Checking this box will turn on the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Off - Checking this box will turn off the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Blink Rate - Because the Velociti series devices poll much faster than
standard SLC devices, the option exists to change the frequency of the
LED blink. Selecting 0 indicates the fastest blink rate, while 15 is the
slowest blink rate.
NOTE: This option is not available when using the CLIP protocol.
Delays/TimeOut -
NOTE: These delay and timing functions are only available if the NAC(s)
are NOT assigned to CAMable output groups.
NAC Cut Off Delay - This option allows the NAC circuits to be
automatically silenced after a set period of time. Note that this delay
begins after the silence inhibit delay ends. This setting may range from
No CutOff (meaning no delay is applied) to fifty (50) minutes (in five (5)
minute increments).
Silence Inhibit Delay - This setting will prevent the system from being
silenced after an alarm. This setting may range from No delay to
twenty-one (21) minutes (in two (2) minute increments).
PAS Acknowledge Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to acknowledge the alarm. If the fire alarm is not
acknowledged within this time interval the panel will cancel Positive Alarm
Sequence and go straight into fire alarm. This setting may range from 1 to
PAS Investigate Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to investigate the source of the fire alarm once it
has been acknowledged. If the panel is not reset within this time interval
the system will go into fire alarm. However, if a subsequent fire alarm
occurs before this interval times out the system will go into fire alarm,
canceling the Positive Alarm Sequence. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 180 seconds.
Number of Annunciators/Displays -
Log Settings -
NOTE: This setting requires all ILI and ILI95 nodes to have Version

Output Group(s) - The NACs and Municipal circuit can belong to as many as four output
groups. These groups range from 125 to 224 and 500-599 and are controlled by CAM logic.
NOTE: The third and fourth Output Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 196 for more information on the
Group Disable feature.
Device Silence Option - When synchronized NAC's are silenced the system can take one
of two possible actions:
· Horn Only - Only the horns will be silenced when this option is selected.
· Horn and Strobe - Both horns and strobes will be silenced when this option is selected.
NOTE: If the Horn-only silence option is used, DO NOT silence the NAC circuit using
CAMs. Doing so will cause the circuit to completely turn off. Instead, use the
"Silenceable" checkbox to enable silencing of the NAC circuit.
The NAC Settings screen also includes the following Coded Patterns settings:
NOTE: The Coded Patterns section of the screen will appear disabled (grayed out) if
none of the Notification Appliance Circuits are configured for coded operation.
The user may set a different coded pattern for each of five system conditions. These coded
patterns selections apply only to the onboard NACS, and only if configured for coded
operation. Control elements cannot be coded.
To choose a coded pattern, click on the drop-down list for each condition and select one of
the available options. The default setting for each condition is Steady.
The available codes are Steady, March Time 60 BPM, March Time 120 BPM, Temporal
Pattern, California Code, and Coded 4's.
Day Alarm - Selected code will run when a fire alarm condition occurs and the system is in
the Day operating hours.
Night Alarm - Selected code will run when a fire alarm condition occurs and the system is in
the Night operating hours.
Action - Selected code will run when a pre-alarm condition has been activated.
Supervisory - Selected code will run when a supervisory device goes off-normal.
CO/Gas Alarm - Selected code will run when a CO or gas alarm occurs.
NOTE: The CO/Gas Alarm coded pattern is set to Coded 4's by default. All other
coded patterns are set to steady by default.
In addition to the four system conditions listed above, a fifth condition called "Post Code" is
available. This setting determines the code that the NAC circuits will run after zone coding
has completed. Any of the standard codes listed above may be used as a post-code. The
post-code may be enabled via the "NACs After Last Code" option on the General Settings
screen.
See this page 229 for more information about Zone Code options.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The S3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in the Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.

5.3.5 Devices
The Devices screen incorporates two tabs. These tabs include:
The input devices screen is used to configure all sensors and monitor modules connected to
an S3 Series (System Sensor) FACP node.
At the very top of the screen is a field labeled "Show Devices". This field allows the user to
filter the list of devices in the grid below to show all devices, all Ion sensors, all Photo
sensors, all Thermal sensors, all Multi-criteria Sensors or all Monitor Modules. Once a
selection is made, CAMWorks will automatically filter the list.
Below the "Show Devices" field is a large grid that displays all of the input devices that are
configured, based on the filter setting above. The following are the configurable settings for
Input Devices that appear in the grid.
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 40.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Input Group Numbers - To modify one of the four numbers, enter the group (1-99,
300-499) number in the Group field. (Outputs assigned to this group will be shown in the list
at the bottom of the screen). If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the S3 Series does allow for multiple input groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set
its respective Trouble SSM bit.
WARNING: Group 0, which really means "No Group Assignment", may be assigned to
input devices. There is no bit in the System Status Map for Group 0. Therefore, no
custom I/O relationships may be created for an input device if all of its Input Group
assignments are set to Group 0.
NOTE: When an input device produces a verification, PAS, cross zone or multilevel
pre-alarm, only the first group assigned to the device will be activated. Once the device
produces a fire alarm response alarm groups will be activated (see note in blue below).
For cross zone alarms, only the first group assigned will be activated upon the
pre-alarm. The rest of the groups assigned to the device will not activate. Instead, the
groups assigned to the cross zone will activate when the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: The group assignment fields are color coded for device types that produce the
following response types:
Color Description
RED Groups colored RED will activate upon a fire alarm condition from the
device.
YELLOW Groups colored YELLOW will activate upon a supervisory condition from
the device.
BLUE Groups colored BLUE will activate upon a CO or Gas alarm condition
from the device.
NO COLOR If any of the other group columns are color coded for this device, the
group assigned to this column will not activate.
NOTE: Action (pre-alarm) conditions and supervisory conditions will only activate the
input group assigned to first group column.
NOTE: The third and fourth Input Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 321 for more information on the
Group Disable feature. A Disable Type Tag may only be assigned to the fourth Input
Group assignment for MCS-COF Devices configured for "Triple Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm
Response", including the "Photo/CO Trpl" pre-defined device type.
NOTE: A Disable Type Tag may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment
for MCS-COF Devices configured for "Triple Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm Response",
including the "Photo/CO Trpl" pre-defined device type. Likewise, a Disable Type Tag
may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment for intelligent FAAST
devices on an E3 Series FACP that are configured for the default Five-level Multi-level
Alarm Response 573 .
To the right of the grid is the Properties window. The properties include most of the
configuration settings for the device as described below.

B200S sounder base to enable full Boolean logic control of the sounder base via CAMs 21 .
If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the S3 Series does support an output group assignment for B200S sounder
bases, the sensor's first group assigned will set its respective Trouble SSM bit should a
trouble condition occur on the B200S rather than the output group assigned to the
sounder base.
Chirp - When enabled, the B200S sounder base at this address will periodically make a
brief audible chirp to annunciate local trouble conditions. This feature may be customized in
the General Settings 216 screen.
NOTE: The S3 Series system has an option to chirp the sounder bases when the
attached sensor is tested during walk test (see the General Settings 216 page). This
feature will function regardless of whether or not the sounder base is configured to chirp
for local annunciation purposes.
Sounder Base NAC Supv - Place a check mark in this field if the sounder base at this
address is powered from a NAC circuit instead of from a continuous duty power supply.
NOTE: It is important that this setting be set correctly to ensure proper power supply
supervision by the B200S sounder base.

select "Group". If it will be used as a point cross zone, select "Point".
Config - Clicking this button opens a secondary screen that allows the user to assign the
desired points (point cross zoning) or input groups (group cross zoning).
Trigger - This option sets the trigger level of the cross zone (how many inputs or sets of
inputs need to activate before the cross zone activates). This can be set from two to seven
for point cross zoning or two to four for group cross zoning.
Response - The S3 Series currently allows two response types. The first is the Alarm
response, which will cause a fire alarm condition when the cross zone is activated. Second
is the non-reporting response. This response allows you to chain multiple cross zones
together or trigger outputs without causing a fire alarm on the system.
Zone Code - When the cross zone is activated it can trigger a zone code to sound, just like
any other input. This menu allows you to select one of up to 63 user-defined zone codes.
Virtual Alarm Group - The cross zone may be configured to trigger an output group or a
scratchpad when the activation threshold has been reached. This may range from 125-224
(Output Groups), 500-599 (Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
Virtual Pre-Alarm Group - When the one or more of the cross zone triggers activates (but
the configured trigger level has not yet been reached), it can be configured to trigger an
output group or a scratchpad. This may range from 125-224 (Output Groups), 500-599
(Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
NOTE: Regardless of user programming, the S3 Series FACP will set bits in its associated
extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross Zone
activation.
Day Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Day output list when the cross
zone is activated during the configured day hours.
Night Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Night output list when the
cross zone is activated during the configured night hours, as well as the defined weekend
and holiday days.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
Below the grid is an information area. This information area contains three tabs of
information. The first is called "CrossZone # > Input Devices", the second is "Input Group #
> Input Devices" and the third is "Used / Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.

The CAM icon incorporates eleven sub-icons. These icons are used to display the following
CAM screens:
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
[****] 256
Schedule 256 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 260 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
5.3.10.4.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
5.3.10.4.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
5.3.10.4.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:

Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAM expressions in this section are a part of the Group Disable 321 feature of the S3
Series. Each Input and Output Group has one CAM expression assigned. When the CAM
expression is TRUE, all devices assigned to the associated Group will enter DISCONNECT
trouble and will be treated as a disabled device. When the CAM expression goes back to
FALSE, the DISCONNECT troubles associated with the assigned Input Group will be
restored.
This screen also hosts a single CAM Expression to enable EasyTest mode. EasyTest is a
feature of the MCS-Acclimate2F (in Velociti mode only) and MCS-4-Warn multi-criteria
sensors that simplifies detector testing. When the CAM expression at bit location #3777
evaluates to TRUE, the panel will activate EasyTest mode for all MCS-Acclimate2F (in
Velociti mode only), MCS-COF and MCS-4-Warn multi-criteria sensors on that node. When
EasyTest mode is enabled, these multi-criteria sensors may be tested using canned smoke.
NOTE: The panel will activate EasyTest mode automatically during Walk Test, regardless
of the state of bit #3777.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all

Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAM expressions in this section are a part of the Group Disable 321 feature of the S3
Series. Input and/or output devices may individually be assigned to Disable Type Tags.
Each Disable Type Tag has one CAM expression assigned. When the CAM expression is
TRUE, all devices assigned to the associated Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT
trouble and will be treated as a disabled device. When the CAM expression goes back to
FALSE, the DISCONNECT troubles associated with the assigned Disable Type Tag will be
restored.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields

The S3 Series has complete control over several aspects of the operation of the smoke
detectors that was not possible in earlier products. One of these features includes
controlling the so-called Remote Outputs of the smoke detectors. These include both
sounder bases and relay bases.
Each sensor has a CAM expression to control its remote output. When the CAM expression
evaluates to TRUE the output will turn ON, when it evaluates to FALSE the output will turn
OFF.
NOTE: Once a CAM expression has been entered for a Sensor Remote Output, it will
override the automatic activation of the output (ie. the standard follow-the-LED activation).
If automatic operation is desired after a CAM expression has been written, simply erase
the CAM expression.
NOTE: These settings are not available when CLIP Mode is selected.
NOTE: These CAMS have no effect on B200S sounder bases. B200S sounder bases
may belong to an output group instead.
This screen also allows users to write CAMs to control the panel's on-board Alarm and
Supervisory dry contacts. To do so, select the "Alarm and Supervisory Dry Contacts" option
button at the top of the screen. CAM expressions, if present, will override the firmware
default operation of the relays.

The CAMs on this screen affect the user-programmable LEDs on the LCD-SLP annunciators
connected to this panel. At the top of the screen are three filters:
LCD-SLP No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected LCD-SLP.
Switch No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected switch.
LED Type - Display the CAMs only for the selected type of CAM (ON/Off, Blink, Red or
Green).
The filters are ANDed with each other. This means that only the CAMs that match all criteria
will be displayed in the grid below.
The following describes the four different types of CAMs that control the behavior of each
LCD-SLP programmable LED:
On/Off - A CAM expression written in this area will turn the LED ON steady when the CAM
evaluates to a TRUE and will turn the LED off when the CAM evaluates to a false.
Blink - A CAM expression written in this area will blink the LED when the CAM evaluates to
a TRUE and will turn the LED off (or on steady, based on the On/Off CAM expression) when
the CAM evaluates to a false.
NOTE: The LED blink CAM Expression takes priority over the LED On/Off if both CAM
expressions are TRUE at the same time.
Red - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Red" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Red, unless
the Green CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
Green - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Green" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Green,
unless the Red CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
NOTE: The LED will appear Amber when both the Red and Green CAM Expressions
evaluate to TRUE or both evaluate to FALSE.
NOTE: If an LCD-SLP switch has been configured for its Auxiliary Function, the CAM
entry fields, as well as the description field will be grayed out.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

coded pattern selection. The default coded pattern is used for those B200S sounder bases
that are not configured as members of an output group or for those output groups that do
not have sounder base coded pattern selection CAMs written.
The B200S sounder base supports three distinct coded patterns, plus continuous (steady)

1.) Disable Input Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Input Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Input Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
2.) Disable Output Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Output Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Output Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
3.) Disable Type Tags - Disable Type Tags allow both input and output devices to be
disabled with the activation of one CAM expression. Disable Type Tags, which range in
number from 600-699, may be assigned to the third and/or fourth Input/Output Group
assignment of a device. When the CAM expression for the indicated Disable Type Tag goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT trouble and
will become disabled.
5.4.4 DACT Reporting Codes
One of the features of S3 Series systems is the ability to configure Custom DACT Reporting
Codes that are reported when the DACT-E3 is using either Ademco Contact ID or SIA
formats. This feature allows better identification of system events at the central station
receiver allowing for faster response to system events by appropriate personnel.
This feature is not enabled by default. To enable this feature, the user must do the
following:
1.) Open the S3 Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 node that hosts the DACT-E3.
2.) For ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 nodes, open the DACT Settings screen. For S3 Series
FACP nodes, select the General Settings screen and then select the DACT Settings tab.
Ensure that the DACT Enabled checkbox is checked.
4.) Configure custom codes using the Input Devices and Output Devices screens.
NOTE: If this feature is not enabled, the DACT-E3 will use the "Standard" reporting code
format, which is similar to the format used by the 7100.
NOTE: Only events reported from NGA, S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series or ILI95-E3 Series nodes
will be reported using the "custom" reporting code format. Events originating from all
other node types will use the "Standard" reporting code format, which is similar to the
format used by the 7100.
NOTE: All ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 nodes in a network must contain at least V1.2 firmware
in order to take advantage of this feature. All ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3 nodes are
already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade. All S3 Series
nodes are already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade.
NGA nodes require at least V3.00 firmware in order to issue events that include "custom"
reporting codes.

324 CAMWorks V3.21 Help
Each device address has a number of programmable options available. These include
options such as Device Type, Input Group (if the device is a sensor or a monitor element),
Output Group (if the device is a control element), Description Label, etc.
To program the device types and I/O groups for each address, select either the Input
Devices (all sensors and monitor elements) or Output Devices (all control elements) icon
from the Project Explorer 56 .
The entry screens for these types are very similar. The main difference is the list of device
types that are available on each entry screen.
See Input Devices 355 and Output Devices 363 for programming information on these entry
screens.
After completing SLC devices and groups entries, continue to "Entering Labels and
modifying default settings for SLC devices"
6.1.2 Entering labels and modifying default settings for loop devices
To enter labels for each loop device, select either the Input Devices (all sensors and monitor
elements) or Output Devices (all control elements) icon from the Project Explorer 56 .
To enter a label or modify the global default settings for any device, select the appropriate
device from the grid. Labels may be entered for each address in the description label entry
field. Labels can be up to 40 characters in length.
Other fields can also can be modified by address on the entry grid. Click on the following
help links to view programming information for the various device types.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks
will download SLC device labels or CAM Text messages to the selected node.
Send Virtual Switch Labels (S3 Series FACP and ANX nodes only) - When
selected, CAMWorks will download Virtual Switch labels to the selected node.
Send Configuration - When selected, CAMWorks will download the configuration to
the selected node.
Download Screen Saver (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download
images to the NGA for use as a screen saver.
Download Logo (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download a user
supplied image that will be displayed on the System Normal screen.
Download -
Click on this button to begin the download. The user will be prompted to enter the system
Level 4 access code before the download will begin. If all goes well, the Download process
will continue until completed. The panel will reset following a successful download.
NOTE: If the system has not been previously configured, you should enter the system
default level 4 password. If a custom level 4 password has already been downloaded to
the panel, then that code should be entered instead.
Close -
Click on this command button to exit this screen.
Validation -
Click on this button to open the Program Validation 49 screen to scan the current project for
known types of configuration errors.
7100 Upload -
Click on this button upload a configuration from a 7100 panel. This function is only available
for 7100 Standalone projects. See this page 870 for more information.
6.1.4 Printing/Viewing configuration data tables
There are two options available for printing configuration files in CAMWorks. To print all
reports at once, right-click the current node icon in the Project Explorer 56 and select Print
Node. To view or print individual reports, click on the current node icon in the Project
Explorer 56 to bring up the Report Viewer window. In this screen, any available report can
be selected for viewing or printing.
To modify any of these settings, select the appropriate icons under the current ILI-E3 Series

User Defined Types 36
Miscellaneous Globals 41
Display Priorities 41
The following Regional Settings will affect the ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3:
Night/Weekend/Holiday Schedule 43
Finally, there are settings on the Silence Settings 44 and Node Summary 57 screens that
also affect the ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3.
After completing globals programming, you're ready to continue with "Programming loop
devices and groups".
the General Output Lists. To assign an output to a list, Click the checkbox to select that
item.
To place a Control Element in a General Output List, select the Output Devices 363 icon from
the Project Explorer 56 .
NOTE: General Output List assignments are not available for Building Control Element
devices.
By assigning individual inputs and outputs to groups the user is able to create relationships
between these groups.
Input devices can be assigned to as many as four input groups (group 1-99, 300-499) in the
Input Devices screen.
SLC output devices may be assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group
125-224, 500-599) in the Output Devices screen.
Built-in outputs, such as the Notification Appliances and the Municipal Circuit may be
assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group 125-224, 500-599) in the NAC
Settings screen.
NOTE: The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs do not have any direct linkage
between input groups and output groups. All custom input/output relationships
must be done through Conditional Action Maps (CAMs) 21 .
6.2.3 Create a custom display banner for panel
The System ID Label appears on the panel display when the system is in "System Normal"
condition. This label will also appear as a header for any event report that originates from
this node. Any node that prints the event through it's serial port will include this information.
The System ID Label is configured in the Node Summary 57 screen, which is called System
Overview for non-networked projects. Enter the label text in the System ID Label text box.
This label can be up to 19 characters in length and may not be blank. Click on the Save
button to save the entry.
6.2.4 Create my own SLC device types
The E3 Series and S3 Series allow the user to define up to forty User Defined device types.
The first ten are 7100 compatible User Defined Device Types and are restricted to AMM
modules only. The remaining User Defined Device Types allow much greater flexibility.
The User Defined Device Types are configured on a project-level instead of the node-level.
To access these settings, you must access the User Defined Types screen, which may be
found in the Project Globals 35 > Network Settings 35 > User Defined Types 36 tab in The
Ribbon 27 , or by accessing the User Defined Types 62 icon, which is under the Network
Settings 61 icon under Project Globals 61 in the Project Explorer 56 .
6.2.5 Disable downloading for a particular SLC address?
Some projects may have to be completed in phases. CAMWorks allows the user to
configure all of the points in the system and download only those devices that are physically
present in the system at any given time.
The Input Devices and Output devices screens contain an Active field. The Active field
contains an icon that may be toggled by double-clicking or by pressing the space bar when
the field has the focus (the background of the field will be highlighted when the field has the
focus). The icon itself will turn green to indicate that that address is active, or gray to
indicate that the address is inactive. When downloading a configuration, the inactive
devices will be skipped. When the inactive devices are ready to be downloaded, just toggle
the Active icons back to green, and they will be sent to the panel.
6.2.6 Disable DACT-E3
If the DACT-E3 is present in the system, the DACT Settings screen can be used to
configure the DACT-E3. In CAMWorks, the DACT-E3 is enabled automatically. To disable
the DACT-E3, Select the DACT Settings screen under the ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 icon in
the Project Explorer 53 . Then, uncheck the Enable DACT checkbox. After completing entry,
click on the Save button. The DACT-E3 should now be disabled.
NOTE: If the Enable DACT option is unchecked, the DACT-E3 is not supervised, and no
event transmissions are attempted. This option must be set to Off (unchecked) for nodes
with no DACT-E3 present.
6.2.7 View selected reports in a window
To view or print individual reports for the current node, select the node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 . Select the report of
interest from the drop-down list and then click the Show Report command button.
This feature displays the reports exactly as they will be printed. If the report contains multiple
pages, you can move among the pages by clicking on the Move Next > and the Move
Previous < arrows located at the top of the screen.
To print the report, click on the Printer icon ( ) on the toolbar at the top of the Report
Viewer window.
6.2.8 Export configuration in a different format
CAMWorks allows the user to export data files in different formats. For example, if you
would like to export a file in a Word For Windows format, select node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 of the screen. Select
the report of interest from the grid by placing a check mark in the selection field next to the
desired report and then click on the Show Report command button. The selected report will
appear on the screen. To export this document in the chosen format, click on the Export icon
(disk icon, ) at the top of the screen. Select the format option from the list of available
options and click OK to create the file.
CAMWorks also includes a method of performing a direct export to a Microsoft Excel file.
See this page 50 for more information.
6.2.9 Create Zone Codes
NOTE: These settings apply only to the ILI95-MB-E3.
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on it's NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The E3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code screen (which can be accessed via the Zone
Code icon under the current node's icon in the Project Explorer 56 ), they can be associated
with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e. Input
Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
6.2.10 Setup a cross zone
The E3 Series provides up to 30 cross zones. There are two types of cross zones available.
One type is groups cross zoning, and the other is point cross zoning.
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column to assign devices to the cross
zone. Click Save and then Close when done.
3.) A selection window will open that will display all devices on the current node that are
eligible to be used for cross zoning. Devices may be selected by placing a check
mark in the selection field (labeled "Sel").
4.) Click the Add button to add the devices to the cross-zone. Devices are removed
from the grid when they are added to the cross zone. Devices can be removed from
the cross zone later if desired.
5.) Click Close to dismiss the Add Devices window.
6.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 381 for
more information.
Group Cross Zone – The E3 Series system provides group cross zoning by assigning Input
Groups on S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series nodes directly to a cross
zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone virtual groups is thirty
groups in any mixture. The system will increment the trigger count when any of the
associated input groups are activated.
NOTE: If an individual Cross Zone input is non-latching, each time it activates it will
increase the trigger count. This means that if the input activates, restores and re-activates
it will increment the trigger count twice.
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
NOTE: Both a node and a group number must be specified. The node must be an S3
Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3 or ILI95-S-E3.
NOTE: The selected input groups must have devices assigned to it before configuring
cross zoning.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
3.) Set the desired trigger level for the cross zone.
4.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 381 for
more information.
5.) Click Save to save all of the changes.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input devices must
not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected results.
Typically, a general fire alarm is activated when the configured trigger level is met.
However, the response to the Cross Zone activation is programmable via the Configure
Cross Zones screen. Regardless of user programming, the node will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
\Passwords 61 .
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
NOTE: These device types can be used with 7100 nodes, ILI-E3 Series nodes and S3
Series (System Sensor) FACPs, but not with ILI95-E3 Series nodes or S3 Series (Apollo)
FACPs.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
SLC Type - Select whether this device type should be a System Sensor or Apollo device
type. This selection may or may not be available, depending on the nodes that are present
in the current project.
NOTE: This setting is fixed to "System Sensor" for the 7100 User Defined Device Types.
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:
Available Physical Device Types for the ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3 and S3 Series (System Sensor)

for both on-screen and printed event reports. This description may be up to fourteen
characters in length.
Silenceable - This option applies only when the physical device type is set to Signal Module,
Form-C Module, SCE-95 or RCE-95. This indicates whether this device type can be
silenced or not.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
6.3.3 Miscellaneous
NOTE: This screen appears under the ILI95-MB-E3 only for E3 Series Standalone
projects. For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61
\Miscellaneous 66 .
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180
Minutes) .
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
\Display Priorities 67 .
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes only.
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
(or region), unless the user scrolls the events manually.
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
In E3 Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of the sensors for particular times
during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be used to increase sensitivity for
those times when a building is not in use. When the system's real-time clock reaches a
configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use the Night Sensitivity
settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that occurs during this time
will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM bit 440 (Day Alarm or
Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.
Holiday Schedule - Configure Holidays for Night sensitivity operation by clicking on the
calendar icon ( ). A calendar will be displayed. Select the holiday by clicking on the day of
the month. The user can move through the calendar by clicking on the arrow icons located
at the top of the calendar. The user may enter up to sixteen holidays. Dates can be cleared
by placing a check in the "Sel" column next to the appropriate holiday and clicking the Clear
button at the bottom of the window.
6.3.6 General Settings
This entry screen contains various system options that pertain to this ILI95-MB-E3 or
ILI95-S-E3 node. The entry fields are grouped as follows:
General Settings -
RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second)
used by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections range
from 115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
Enable Supervision of RS-232 Port For Use With - This setting should
be set according to what type of device is normally connected to the node's
serial port. This setting should be set to "Printer" if a printer is connected
to this node's serial port and trouble reporting for printer out of paper or
printer offline conditions is desirable. Set this option to "None" if no printer
is connected.
SLC Class A - Select this if the SLC loops are wired Class A (Style 6 or
Style 7).
NOTE: If one SLC loop remains unused, you must connect the B+ and
A+ terminals as well as the B- and A- terminals of the unused SLC loop
to prevent Loop Break troubles from being reported.
PAS Night ByPass - If this setting is turned on, then devices configured
for Positive Alarm Sequence will automatically go into alarm during the
defined Night hours as well as the defined Weekend and Holiday days.
Supervise PM-9 Power Supply - Selecting this option will cause the
ILI95-MB-E3 to supervise the PM-9 power supply. If the PM-9 is
connected to this ILI95-MB-E3 via ribbon cable, the ILI95-MB-E3 will
supervise the PM-9 regardless of this setting.
When this option is enabled, the system will not allow a reset to take place
if the system is in alarm condition unless the device that originated the
alarm is no longer reporting an alarm condition. For example, if a manual
station initiated the alarm, the system cannot be reset until the manual
station is reset. In the case of a sensor, if the amount of smoke or heat
detected by the sensor decreases to below the device's alarm threshold
the system will reset. Otherwise, the system will not reset.
Fast CAM Timers - When enabled, the CAM timers have a resolution of
one-half second. When disabled, CAM timers have a one-second
resolution.
Inhibit Reset & Silence Following First Alarm - When enabled, the
system may not be silenced or reset for sixty seconds following an initial
alarm.
LED Blink -
On - Checking this box will turn on the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Off - Checking this box will turn off the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Delays/TimeOut -
NOTE: These delay and timing functions are only available if the NAC(s)
are NOT assigned to CAMable output groups.
NAC Cut Off Delay - This option allows the NAC circuits to be
automatically silenced after a set period of time. Note that this delay
begins after the silence inhibit delay ends. This setting may range from
No CutOff (meaning no delay is applied) to fifty (50) minutes (in five (5)
minute increments).
Silence Inhibit Delay - This setting will prevent the system from being
silenced after an alarm. This setting may range from No delay to
twenty-one (21) minutes (in two (2) minute increments).
PAS Acknowledge Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to acknowledge the alarm. If the fire alarm is not
acknowledged within this time interval the panel will cancel Positive Alarm
Sequence and go straight into fire alarm. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 15 seconds.
PAS Investigate Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to investigate the source of the fire alarm once it
has been acknowledged. If the panel is not reset within this time interval
the system will go into fire alarm. However, if a subsequent fire alarm
occurs before this interval times out the system will go into fire alarm,
canceling the Positive Alarm Sequence. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 180 seconds.
Number of Annunciators/Displays -
LCD 7100 Annunciators - This sets the number of remote LCD-7100 displays
connected to this ILI95-MB-E3 node. Up to five LCD-7100 annunciators may
be connected to an ILI95-MB-E3.

Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The E3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in the Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.

Input Group Numbers - To modify one of the four numbers, enter the group (1-99,
300-499) number in the Group field. (Outputs assigned to this group will be shown in the list
at the bottom of the screen). If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does allow for multiple input groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set
its respective Trouble SSM bit.
WARNING: Group 0, which really means "No Group Assignment", may be assigned to
input devices. There is no bit in the System Status Map for Group 0. Therefore, no
custom I/O relationships may be created for an input device if all of its Input Group
assignments are set to Group 0.
NOTE: When an input device produces a verification, PAS, cross zone or multilevel
pre-alarm, only the first group assigned to the device will be activated. Once the device
produces a fire alarm response alarm groups will be activated (see note in blue below).
For cross zone alarms, only the first group assigned will be activated upon the
pre-alarm. The rest of the groups assigned to the device will not activate. Instead, the
groups assigned to the cross zone will activate when the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: The group assignment fields are color coded for device types that produce the
following response types:
Color Description
BLUE Groups colored BLUE will activate upon a CO or Gas alarm condition
from the device.
NO COLOR If any of the other group columns are color coded for this device, the
group assigned to this column will not activate.

field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Feedback Reporting -
The RCE-95 supports supervising its output state. Feedback verification uses the device’s
ON/OFF state and the device's feedback input state to determine a “feedback error”
condition. The RCE-95 is considered to have a feedback error under one or both of two
conditions: output ON with feedback input not shorted, or output OFF with feedback input
shorted. A feedback error will produce an OUTPUT FAIL system trouble, but only if
configured to do so. This option selects whether or not to issue a Feedback Error. This
may be set to Never, Always, or Only When Output Is On.
NOTE: Disabling Feedback Reporting will disable ALL feedback supervision of the
RCE-95.
NOTE: The RCE-95 must have DIP Switch S1 - Switch #8 (labeled as "A" on the RCE-95)
in the OPEN (OFF) position to enable the feedback hardware. Feedback Reporting will be
completely disabled if this DIP Switch is in the CLOSED (ON) position, regardless of the
configuration option in CAMWorks.
The following chart describes the behavior of the various feedback settings and states:
Device States
Feedback Grp1 - To provide feedback and LED indication, there is a feedback group
associated with the RCE-95. It is treated as a special-purpose input group. There are two
bits in the ILI95's System Status Map associated with this group which, for other device
types, represent the input’s Trouble and Alarm condition but have different meanings when
the Input Group is assigned as the RCE-95's feedback group.
a) In order for an ASM-16/ANU-48 LED to indicate the RCE-95's on/off state,
the feedback group’s Alarm bit indicates the RCE-95’s ON/OFF state. The bit
is True when the RCE relay is ON and False when it is is OFF.
b) To allow CAMs to verify the actual position of the RCE-95 relay or its
associated external equipment, the group’s Trouble bit shows the state of the
feedback input. The bit is True when the feedback input is shorted, and
False otherwise (open or normal EOL).
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 435 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Output Group Number(s) - To program group numbers, enter group numbers in the Group
entry fields. Up to four output groups (125-224, 500-599) can be entered. If you are unclear
on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: You cannot assign both output groups and General Output lists to the same
control element.
NOTE: The third and fourth Output Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 434 for more information on the
Group Disable feature.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does allow for multiple output groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set its
respective Trouble SSM bit.
NOTE: You cannot assign output groups to "Silenceable" output device types.

Feedback Reporting -
When enabled, a missing feedback EOL resistor will cause a FAULT condition to be
reported. When disabled, a missing feedback EOL resistor will not cause a trouble
condition.
NOTE: Disabling Feedback Reporting will disable ALL feedback supervision of the
BCE-95.
NOTE: The BCE-95 must have DIP Switch S1 - Switch #8 (labeled as "FB" on the
BCE-95) in the OPEN (OFF) position to enable the feedback hardware. Feedback
Reporting will be completely disabled if this DIP Switch is in the CLOSED (ON) position,
regardless of the configuration option in CAMWorks.

Feedback Group 1 (ON Feedback Group) - To provide feedback and LED indication, there
are two feedback groups associated with the BCE-95. These groups are treated as
special-purpose input groups. There are two bits in the ILI95's System Status Map
associated with each feedback group which, for other device types, represent the input’s
Trouble and Alarm condition but have different meanings when the Input Group is assigned
as the BCE-95's feedback group. This field specifies which Input Group will be serving as
the Feedback Group for the BCE-95's ON relay.
a) In order for an ASM-16/ANU-48 LED to indicate the BCE-95's on/off state, the
feedback group’s Alarm bit indicates the BCE-95’s ON/OFF state. The bit is
True when the BCE relay is ON and False when it is is OFF.
b) To allow CAMs to verify the actual position of the BCE-95 relay or its
associated external equipment, the group’s Trouble bit shows the state of the
feedback input. The bit is True when the feedback input is shorted, and
False otherwise (open or normal EOL).
Feedback Group 2 (OFF Feedback Group) - Similar to the ON Feedback Group, but
provides feedback for the BCE-95's OFF relay.
NOTE: A feedback error DOES NOT produce a system trouble. The NGA CAM Text
Message 769 feature could be used for this purpose, if desired.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 435 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Group 1 (AUTO ON Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
determine the "Automatic" operation of the ON relay.
Group 2 (AUTO OFF Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
determine the "Automatic" operation of the OFF relay.
Group 3 (Manual ON Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression, will
Group 4 (Manual OFF Group) - This Output Group, and its associated CAM Expression,
will determine the "Manual" operation of the OFF relay.
NOTE: The Group 3 (Manual ON Group) and Group 4 (Manual OFF Group) output group
assignments may also be assigned to Disable Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699.
See this page 434 for more information on the Group Disable feature.
NOTE: Should a trouble condition occur on a BCE-95 device, only the group assigned to
Group 1 (AUTO ON Group) will set its respective Trouble SSM bit.
NOTE: To prevent conflicts or illegal states, the ILI95 enforces the following
conditions:
· The BCE-95 is a non-silenceable device. Any silence functionality must be
implemented in CAMs.
· If user-disabled, the BCE-95 remains in the standby state (both relays reset)
regardless of any control actions.
· Either Manual state overrides either Auto state.
· If both are active, Manual ON overrides Manual OFF.
· If both are active, Auto ON overrides Auto OFF.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
Cross Zone - Indicates which virtual cross zone group will be affected by these settings.
This field is read-only.
Cross Zone Type - If this virtual cross zone group will be used as a group cross zone,
select "Group". If it will be used as a point cross zone, select "Point".
Config - Clicking this button opens a secondary screen that allows the user to assign the
desired points (point cross zoning) or input groups (group cross zoning).
Trigger - This option sets the trigger level of the cross zone (how many inputs or sets of
inputs need to activate before the cross zone activates). This can be set from two to seven
for point cross zoning or two to four for group cross zoning.
Response - The E3 Series currently allows two response types. The first is the Alarm
response, which will cause a fire alarm condition when the cross zone is activated. Second
is the non-reporting response. This response allows you to chain multiple cross zones
together or trigger outputs without causing a fire alarm on the system.
Zone Code - When the cross zone is activated it can trigger a zone code to sound, just like
any other input. This menu allows you to select one of up to 63 user-defined zone codes.
NOTE: This setting applies only to the ILI95-MB-E3.
Virtual Alarm Group - The cross zone may be configured to trigger an output group or a
scratchpad when the activation threshold has been reached. This may range from 125-224
(Output Groups), 500-599 (Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
Virtual Pre-Alarm Group - When the one or more of the cross zone triggers activates (but
the configured trigger level has not yet been reached), it can be configured to trigger an
output group or a scratchpad. This may range from 125-224 (Output Groups), 500-599
(Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
NOTE: Regardless of user programming, the ILI95-MB-E3 or ILI95-S-E3 will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
Day Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Day output list when the cross
zone is activated during the configured day hours.
Night Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Night output list when the
cross zone is activated during the configured night hours, as well as the defined weekend
and holiday days.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
Below the grid is an information area. This information area contains three tabs of
information. The first is called "CrossZone # > Input Devices", the second is "Input Group #
> Input Devices" and the third is "Used / Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
CrossZone # > Input Devices - This section of the window shows which devices are
assigned to the selected cross zone. Devices may be added by using the Add button below.
To remove devices from the cross zone place a check in the "Sel" column next to the
desired device and click the Delete button below.
Input Group # > Input Devices - This tab shows all input devices that are assigned to the
group that is selected in the "Select Input Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the input groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more input devices
and green if the input group has not been assigned to any input devices. Double-clicking
one of the input groups in this list will add the selected input group to one of the Input Group
fields in the grid if one of the Input Group fields is highlighted.
Group CrossZone > Input Devices - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the devices
that are a member of a group cross zone that is highlighted in the grid above.
See this page 330 for more information about configuring cross zoning.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
6.3.14 ASM/ANU
NOTE: These settings apply only to the ILI95-MB-E3.
The following settings may be selected for each module through this screen:
Board # - This field simply indicates which module will be affected by these settings. This
field cannot be changed.
Board Type - Select a board type to indicate that a board should be assigned to this
address or select "None", if no board should be assigned to this address.
Lamp Test - Selecting Yes will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to perform a lamp test when it
is reset. Selecting No will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to not perform a lamp test.
At the bottom of the ASM/ANU screen is a configuration window to allow the configuration of
the module's switches. This section of the window changes depending on which module is
selected. The following fields are displayed in the grid in this window:
Switch Input # - This field is a reference that indicates which switches are available.
Bit # - This field indicates the system status map bit assigned to this switch.
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. Switches one through eight
may also be configured for an Auxiliary Function, except for Switch #6. This auxiliary
function differs for each switch and may be viewed by clicking here. Even though the ANU-
48 only supports eight physical switches, switches #9-16 are displayed as Toggle/Selector
switches to acknowledge the fact that each ANU-48 switch has two bits associated with it in
the System Status Map.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, it will not trigger its
associated bit number.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, its associated LED's will be
taken over by the Auxiliary Function and will no longer be programmable via CAMs.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
NOTE: On the ANU-48, switches #9-16 are always configured as Latching and cannot be
changed.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Description - This descriptive text is available for display while programming CAMs and is
not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

The CAMs on this screen affect the user-programmable LEDs on the LCD-SLP annunciators
connected to this panel. At the top of the screen are three filters:
LCD-SLP No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected LCD-SLP.
Switch No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected switch.
LED Type - Display the CAMs only for the selected type of CAM (ON/Off, Blink, Red or
Green).
The filters are ANDed with each other. This means that only the CAMs that match all criteria
will be displayed in the grid below.
The following describes the four different types of CAMs that control the behavior of each
LCD-SLP programmable LED:
On/Off - A CAM expression written in this area will turn the LED ON steady when the CAM
evaluates to a TRUE and will turn the LED off when the CAM evaluates to a false.
Blink - A CAM expression written in this area will blink the LED when the CAM evaluates to
a TRUE and will turn the LED off (or on steady, based on the On/Off CAM expression) when
the CAM evaluates to a false.
NOTE: The LED blink CAM Expression takes priority over the LED On/Off if both CAM
expressions are TRUE at the same time.
Red - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Red" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Red, unless
the Green CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
Green - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Green" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Green,
unless the Red CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
NOTE: The LED will appear Amber when both the Red and Green CAM Expressions
evaluate to TRUE or both evaluate to FALSE.
NOTE: If an LCD-SLP switch has been configured for its Auxiliary Function, the CAM
entry fields, as well as the description field will be grayed out.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).

6.3.20.1 Schedule
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
6.3.20.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

6.3.20.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even

button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The E3 Series has complete control over several aspects of the operation of the smoke
detectors that was not possible in earlier products. One of these features includes
controlling the so-called Remote Outputs of the smoke detectors. These include both
sounder bases and relay bases.
Each sensor has a CAM expression to control its remote output. When the CAM expression
evaluates to TRUE the output will turn ON, when it evaluates to FALSE the output will turn
OFF.
NOTE: Once a CAM expression has been entered for a Sensor Remote Output, it will
override the automatic activation of the output (ie. the standard follow-the-LED activation).
If automatic operation is desired after a CAM expression has been written, simply erase
the CAM expression.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.

1.) Disable Input Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Input Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Input Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
2.) Disable Output Groups - When the CAM expression for the indicated Output Group goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Output Group will enter DISCONNECT trouble and will
become disabled.
3.) Disable Type Tags - Disable Type Tags allow both input and output devices to be
disabled with the activation of one CAM expression. Disable Type Tags, which range in
number from 600-699, may be assigned to the third and/or fourth Input/Output Group
assignment of a device. When the CAM expression for the indicated Disable Type Tag goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT trouble and
will become disabled. Disable Type Tags may be assigned a short description in this screen
385 , and will appear in the third and fourth group assignment drop-down lists in the Configure
NAC's, Monitor Element Parameters, Control Element Parameters and Sensor Parameters
screens in place of the Disable Type Tag's number. It will also be disabled in the CAM entry
screen for the Disable Type Tag.
This feature is not enabled by default. To enable this feature, the user must do the
following:
1.) Open the S3 Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 node that hosts the DACT-E3.
2.) For ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 nodes, open the DACT Settings screen. For S3 Series
FACP nodes, select the General Settings screen and then select the DACT Settings tab.
Ensure that the DACT Enabled checkbox is checked.
4.) Configure custom codes using the Input Devices and Output Devices screens.
NOTE: DACT Codes may also be automatically configured when adding SLC devices to
the configuration. See this page 436 for more information.
NOTE: If this feature is not enabled, the DACT-E3 will use the "Standard" reporting code
format, which is similar to the format used by the 7100.
NOTE: Only events reported from NGA, S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series or ILI95-E3 Series nodes
will be reported using the "custom" reporting code format. Events originating from all
other node types will use the "Standard" reporting code format, which is similar to the
format used by the 7100.
NOTE: All ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 nodes in a network must contain at least V1.2 firmware
in order to take advantage of this feature. All ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3 nodes are
already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade. All S3 Series
nodes are already compatible with this feature and do not require a firmware upgrade.
NGA nodes require at least V3.00 firmware in order to issue events that include "custom"
reporting codes.
6.5.1 Auto-creation of DACT Codes
The user may elect to allow CAMWorks to assign specific DACT codes when adding SLC
devices to the system's configuration. To do this, the user may select from the following
DACT Code options when adding new devices:
· None - When selected, a code of 000 (which is used to assign no code to a device) will be
added when assigning devices.
· Device Address - When selected, CAMWorks will add a code based on the device's
address. See this page 436 for a list of codes for each address.
· Device Type - When selected, CAMWorks will add a code representing the type of device
being added. See this page 436 for a list of codes for each device type.
· System Response - When selected, CAMWorks will add a code representing the type of
system response produced by the device when activated. See this page 439 for a list of
codes for each response type.
NOTE: The System Response selection is not available for Control Elements.
· Custom - When selected, the user may add a custom code. This custom code will be
used for all checked devices when the devices are added to the configuration.

Finally, there are settings on the Silence Settings 69 and Node Summary 57 screens that
also affect the ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3.
After completing globals programming, you're ready to continue with "Programming loop
devices and groups".
7.1.2 Programming loop devices and groups
Each ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 in an E3 Series system has two SLC's. There are 318 total
addresses available for programming on each SLC. The device addresses for each loop
include 1 - 159 for sensors and 1 - 159 for modules (AMMs and AOMs).
NOTE: Addresses above 99 may only be used in the following two cases:
NOTE: It is possible to use the full address range provided by the Velociti protocol on
E3 Series/S3 Series nodes using Velociti even if other E3 Series/S3 Series nodes are
using CLIP Mode, as long as there are no 7100 panels in the network.
Each device address has a number of programmable options available. These include
options such as Device Type, Group, Output Group (if the device is an AOM), Description
Label, etc.
To program the device types and I/O groups for each address, select either the Input
Devices (all sensors and monitor modules) or Output Devices (all output modules) icon from
the Project Explorer 56 .
The entry screens for these types are very similar. The main difference is the list of device
types that are available on each entry screen.
See Input Devices 483 and Output Devices 498 for programming information on these entry
screens.
After completing SLC devices and groups entries, continue to "Entering Labels and
modifying default settings for SLC devices"
7.1.3 Entering labels and modifying default settings for loop devices
To enter labels for each loop device, select either the Input Devices (all sensors and AMM's)
or Output Devices (all AOM's) icon from the Project Explorer 56 .
To enter a label or modify the global default settings for any device, select the appropriate
device from the grid. Labels may be entered for each address in the description label entry
field. Labels can be up to 40 characters in length.
Other fields can also can be modified by address on the entry grid. Click on the following
help links to view programming information for the various device types.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks
will download SLC device labels or CAM Text messages to the selected node.
Send Virtual Switch Labels (S3 Series FACP and ANX nodes only) - When

7.1.5 Printing/Viewing configuration data tables
There are two options available for printing configuration files in CAMWorks. To print all
reports at once, right-click the current node icon in the Project Explorer 56 and select Print
Node. To view or print individual reports, click on the current node icon in the Project
Explorer 56 to bring up the Report Viewer window. In this screen, any available report can
be selected for viewing or printing.
the General Output Lists. To assign an output to a list, Click the checkbox to select that
item.
To place an AOM in a General Output List, select the Output Devices 498 icon from Project
Explorer 56 and follow the same procedure outlined above.
By assigning individual inputs and outputs to groups the user is able to create relationships
between these groups.
Input devices can be assigned to as many as four input groups (group 1-99, 300-499) in the
Input Devices screen.
SLC output devices may be assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group
125-224, 500-599) in the Output Devices screen.
Built-in outputs, such as the Notification Appliances and the Municipal Circuit may be
assigned to as many as four CAM controlled group (group 125-224, 500-599) in the NAC
Settings screen.
NOTE: The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs do not have any direct linkage
between input groups and output groups. All custom input/output relationships
must be done through Conditional Action Maps (CAMs) 21 .
7.2.3 Create a custom display banner for panel
The System ID Label appears on the panel display when the system is in "System Normal"
condition. This label will also appear as a header for any event report that originates from
this node. Any node that prints the event through it's serial port will include this information.
The System ID Label is configured in the Node Summary 57 screen, which is called System
Overview for non-networked projects. Enter the label text in the System ID Label text box.
This label can be up to 19 characters in length and may not be blank. Click on the Save
button to save the entry.
7.2.4 Create my own SLC device types
The E3 Series and S3 Series allow the user to define up to forty User Defined device types.
The first ten are 7100 compatible User Defined Device Types and are restricted to AMM
modules only. The remaining User Defined Device Types allow much greater flexibility.
The User Defined Device Types are configured on a project-level instead of the node-level.
To access these settings, you must access the User Defined Types screen, which may be
found in the Project Globals 35 > Network Settings 35 > User Defined Types 36 tab in The
Ribbon 27 , or by accessing the User Defined Types 62 icon, which is under the Network
Settings 61 icon under Project Globals 61 in the Project Explorer 56 .
7.2.5 Disable downloading for a particular SLC address?
Some projects may have to be completed in phases. CAMWorks allows the user to
configure all of the points in the system and download only those devices that are physically
present in the system at any given time.
The Input Devices and Output devices screens contain an Active field. The Active field
contains an icon that may be toggled by double-clicking or by pressing the space bar when
the field has the focus (the background of the field will be highlighted when the field has the
focus). The icon itself will turn green to indicate that that address is active, or gray to
indicate that the address is inactive. When downloading a configuration, the inactive
devices will be skipped. When the inactive devices are ready to be downloaded, just toggle
the Active icons back to green, and they will be sent to the panel.
7.2.6 Disable DACT-E3
If the DACT-E3 is present in the system, the DACT Settings screen can be used to
configure the DACT-E3. In CAMWorks, the DACT-E3 is enabled automatically. To disable
the DACT-E3, Select the DACT Settings screen under the ILI-MB-E3 or ILI95-MB-E3 icon in
the Project Explorer 53 . Then, uncheck the Enable DACT checkbox. After completing entry,
click on the Save button. The DACT-E3 should now be disabled.
NOTE: If the Enable DACT option is unchecked, the DACT-E3 is not supervised, and no
event transmissions are attempted. This option must be set to Off (unchecked) for nodes
with no DACT-E3 present.
This feature displays the reports exactly as they will be printed. If the report contains multiple
pages, you can move among the pages by clicking on the Move Next > and the Move
Previous < arrows located at the top of the screen.
To print the report, click on the Printer icon ( ) on the toolbar at the top of the Report
Viewer window.
7.2.8 Export configuration in a different format
CAMWorks allows the user to export data files in different formats. For example, if you
would like to export a file in a Word For Windows format, select node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 of the screen. Select
the report of interest from the grid by placing a check mark in the selection field next to the
desired report and then click on the Show Report command button. The selected report will
appear on the screen. To export this document in the chosen format, click on the Export icon
(disk icon, ) at the top of the screen. Select the format option from the list of available
options and click OK to create the file.
CAMWorks also includes a method of performing a direct export to a Microsoft Excel file.
See this page 50 for more information.
7.2.9 Create Zone Codes
NOTE: These settings apply only to the ILI-MB-E3.
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on it's NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The E3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code screen (which can be accessed via the Zone
Code icon under the current node's icon in the Project Explorer 56 ), they can be associated
with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e. Input
Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
7.2.10 Setup a cross zone
The E3 Series provides up to 30 cross zones. There are two types of cross zones available.
One type is groups cross zoning, and the other is point cross zoning.
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column to assign devices to the cross
zone. Click Save and then Close when done.
3.) A selection window will open that will display all devices on the current node that are
eligible to be used for cross zoning. Devices may be selected by placing a check
mark in the selection field (labeled "Sel").
4.) Click the Add button to add the devices to the cross-zone. Devices are removed
from the grid when they are added to the cross zone. Devices can be removed from
the cross zone later if desired.
5.) Click Close to dismiss the Add Devices window.
6.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 503 for
more information.
Group Cross Zone – The E3 Series system provides group cross zoning by assigning Input
Groups on S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series nodes directly to a cross
zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone virtual groups is thirty
groups in any mixture. The system will increment the trigger count when any of the
associated input groups are activated.
NOTE: If an individual Cross Zone input is non-latching, each time it activates it will
increase the trigger count. This means that if the input activates, restores and re-activates
it will increment the trigger count twice.
1.) In the Cross Zone screen, select the desired Cross Zone by clicking on the cross
zone number on the left.
2.) Select the "Group" Cross zone type for each cross zone that is being used as a
group cross zone.
3.) Click on the "..." button under the "Config" column .
4.) Assign the desired Input Groups to the Cross Zone. Click Save and then Close
when done.
NOTE: Both a node and a group number must be specified. The node must be an S3
Series FACP, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3 or ILI95-S-E3.
NOTE: The selected input groups must have devices assigned to it before configuring
cross zoning.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
3.) Set the desired trigger level for the cross zone.
4.) Select the desired options for each virtual cross zone group. See this page 503 for
more information.
5.) Click Save to save all of the changes.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input devices must
not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected results.
Typically, a general fire alarm is activated when the configured trigger level is met.
However, the response to the Cross Zone activation is programmable via the Configure
Cross Zones screen. Regardless of user programming, the node will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
7.2.11 Configure Custom Responses for Multi-criteria Sensors
The E3 Series (ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3) supports three types of multi-criteria sensors (MCS-
Acclimate2/MCS-Acclimate2F, MCS-4-Warn and MCS-COF). Previously, the E3 Series
system offered fixed response types for each of these device types. For example, the
Acclimate Dual device type provided a non-latching Supervisory response to smoke and
latching Alarm response to heat or heat and smoke. Beginning with ILI V3.2 firmware (and
CAMWorks V3.20), the system now offers a much greater degree of customization (called
profiles). These profiles allow users to define how the system should respond to smoke,
heat or CO (MCS-COF only) and whether or not those responses should be latching.
Creating multi-criteria sensors with customized response characteristics is a multi-step
process. Here is how to get started creating your very own profiles.
f. Activate General Outputs for CO Response – Enable this option if you want the
panel to activate appropriate general output list(s) when the sensor detects carbon
monoxide. Leave disabled if no general output list response to smoke is desired.
g. Latch CO Response – Enable this option if you want the response to carbon monoxide
to latch (in other words, the event can be restored only by resetting the system). Leave
this option disabled if you want the panel’s response to carbon monoxide to self-restore
if the concentration of carbon monoxide dissipates below the device’s carbon monoxide
detection threshold.
h. Heat Response – Choose the response that the panel should take when the sensor
detects heat. Set to “No Response” if the panel should not produce any response to
heat.
i. Activate General Outputs for Heat Response – Enable this option if you want the
panel to activate appropriate general output list(s) when the sensor detects heat.
Leave disabled if no general output list response to heat is desired.
j. Latch Heat Response – Enable this option if you want the response to heat to latch (in
other words, the event can be restored only by resetting the system). Leave this option
disabled if you want the panel’s response to heat to self-restore if the ambient
temperature drops below the device’s built-in alarm threshold.
k. Description – You can optionally add a description to help describe what this profile is
used for. This is not downloaded to the panel.
l. Save the changes once you’ve finished defining your settings. You’re done with the
Multi-criteria Sensor Profiles screen.
4. Open the “Input Devices” screen.
a. Click “Add” to add new sensors to the configuration.
i. Select a device type that was created in Step 1 from the “Device Type” drop-down
list.
ii. Select Loop 1 or Loop 2 to choose which SLC to add the devices to.
iii. Select one or more addresses to add to the system.
iv. In the “Event Profile” selection, you may either type in the profile number (if known)
or you may click the browse ( ) button to select the profile.
vi. This window displays all of the profiles on this ILI-MB-E3 or ILI-S-E3 and their
configured settings.
1. Click anywhere in any of the rows to select a profile. The selected profile will
become highlighted.
2. Click “OK” to make your selection. The window will close at that point.
vii. Click “Add” to add the new device(s) to the configuration. The “Add Device” window
will close.
b. Once the device(s) have been added, all configuration settings become available.
i. The “event profile” may be changed by typing in the profile number in the “Event
Profile” field or by using the browse ( ) button to select the profile using the
selection window as shown above.
ii. The Input Groups behave differently for devices configured for profile response. The
basic rules for the behavior of the inputs groups are as follows:
1. The Trouble Bit associated with Input Group 1 activates whenever there is a
trouble on the device.
2. The Alarm Bit associated with Input Group 1 activates when the sensor detects
smoke and deactivates when the smoke dissipates (if the smoke response is
configured to be non-latching).
a. If the profile is configured to provide no response to smoke, the Alarm Bit
associated with Input Group 1 will activate when the sensor detects heat and
deactivates when the ambient temperature drops below the device’s heat
threshold (if the heat response is configured to be non-latching).
b. If the profile is configured to provide no response to heat, the Alarm Bit
associated with Input Group 1 will not be affected.
3. The Alarm Bit associated with Input Group 2 activates when the sensor detects
carbon monoxide and deactivates when the carbon monoxide level dissipates (if
the carbon monoxide response is configured to be non-latching).
a. If the profile is configured to provide no response to carbon monoxide, the
Alarm Bit associated with Input Group 2 will activate when the sensor detects
heat and deactivates when the ambient temperature drops below the device’s
heat threshold (if the heat response is configured to be non-latching).
b. If the profile is configured to provide no response to heat, the Alarm Bit
associated with Input Group 2 will not be affected.
4. The Alarm Bit associated with Input Group 3 will activate when the sensor detects
heat and deactivates when the ambient temperature drops below the device’s heat
threshold (if the heat response is configured to be non-latching).
a. If the profile is configured to provide no response to heat, the Alarm Bit
associated with Input Group 3 will not be affected.
5. The Alarm Bit associated with Input Group 4 will activate when the sensor detects
heat and deactivates when the ambient temperature drops below the device’s heat
threshold (if the heat response is configured to be non-latching).
a. If the profile is configured to provide no response to heat, the Alarm Bit
associated with Input Group 4 will not be affected.
6. Input Group 4 may be assigned to a Disable Type Tag (600-699) or a Smoke
Disable Type Tag (700-899) to disable the smoke response only.
iii. Click on “Save” once you've completed your configuration changes.
5. It is highly recommended to run Program Validation 49 to check your configuration to
make sure that your devices and device types are properly configured.
6. Download the configuration changes to the panel.
7. Test the configured devices to make sure that they are working the way that you have
intended them to operate. You can modify any of the configuration settings at any time
should changes be necessary.
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The E3 Series and S3 Series FACPs provides a great degree of flexibility for user defined
device types. In the past, the User Defined AMM Types in the 7100 were configured at the
individual node level. This function has been combined with the E3 Series/S3 Series User
Defined Device Types into one configuration screen.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
NOTE: These device types can be used with 7100 nodes, ILI-E3 Series nodes and S3
Series (System Sensor) FACPs, but not with ILI95-E3 Series nodes or S3 Series (Apollo)
FACPs.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
SLC Type - Select whether this device type should be a System Sensor or Apollo device
type. This selection may or may not be available, depending on the nodes that are present
in the current project.
NOTE: This setting is fixed to "System Sensor" for the 7100 User Defined Device Types.
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:
Available Physical Device Types for the ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3 and S3 Series (System Sensor)
FACPs:
Available User Defined Device Types for the ILI95-MB-E3, ILI95-S-E3 and S3 Series
(Apollo) FACPs:
System Response Type - Selects the desired response to an activation from this device
type. See tables above for information about the available response types for each physical
device type.
Description - The text that will be associated with this User Defined Type. This will be used
for both on-screen and printed event reports. This description may be up to fourteen
characters in length.
Silenceable - This option applies only when the physical device type is set to Signal Module,
Form-C Module, SCE-95 or RCE-95. This indicates whether this device type can be
silenced or not.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.3 Miscellaneous
NOTE: This screen appears under the ILI-MB-E3 only for E3 Series Standalone projects.
For networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61 \
Miscellaneous 66 .
The following system-wide settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60, 90, 120 or 180
Minutes) .
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: These settings apply to S3 Series FACP, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes only.
The S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA displays conform to UL 864 9th
edition and UL 2572 1st edition event display requirements. The most significant change
from the 7100 display is that concurrent events do not automatically scroll. Instead, the
display always shows the earliest (oldest) event of the highest priority present in the system
(or region), unless the user scrolls the events manually.
Since events do not scroll, the behavior of the display depends entirely on what priority the
system assigns to each event. These priorities can be modified in this screen. Note that
this only configures how events are DISPLAYED. To configure a different system response,
a User Defined Type 36 should be used instead.
Each system condition listed has both an Acknowledged and Unacknowledged priority.
Typically, the Unacknowledged priority for each condition is of a higher priority than its
Acknowledged priority. The system has e ight different priority levels, ranging from Level 1
to Level 8. Level 1 is the lowest priority level, while Level 8 is the highest priority level.
NOTE: The priority settings for MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble and MNS Supervisory only
affect NGA nodes.
These settings are automatically configured for ALL S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3
Series and NGA nodes in the system, therefore all S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series
and NGA nodes will have the same set of display priorities once they have all been
downloaded.
To change a priority, click and drag its slider and move it to the left or to the right. Moving a
slider to the right gives the event a higher priority, while sliding it to the left gives it a lower
priority. The currently selected priority level is displayed to the right of the slider.
NOTE: To revert all Display Priority settings to their UL approved settings, click either
the "MNS Overrides Fire" or "Fire Overrides MNS" button at the top of the window.
NOTE: These settings should be left to their default settings, unless there is a
specific need to change them.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
In E3 Series systems, you can optimize the sensitivity of the sensors for particular times
during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be used to increase sensitivity for
those times when a building is not in use. When the system's real-time clock reaches a
configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use the Night Sensitivity
settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that occurs during this time
will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM bit 440 (Day Alarm or
Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.
Holiday Schedule - Configure Holidays for Night sensitivity operation by clicking on the
calendar icon ( ). A calendar will be displayed. Select the holiday by clicking on the day of
the month. The user can move through the calendar by clicking on the arrow icons located
at the top of the calendar. The user may enter up to sixteen holidays. Dates can be cleared
by placing a check in the "Sel" column next to the appropriate holiday and clicking the Clear
button at the bottom of the window.

RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second)
used by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections range
from 115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
Enable Supervision of RS-232 Port For Use With - This setting should
be set according to what type of device is normally connected to the node's
serial port. This setting should be set to "Printer" if a printer is connected
to this node's serial port and trouble reporting for printer out of paper or
printer offline conditions is desirable. Set this option to "None" if no printer
is connected.
SLC Class A - Select this if the SLC loops are wired Class A (Style 6 or
Style 7).
NOTE: If one SLC loop remains unused, you must connect the B+ and
A+ terminals as well as the B- and A- terminals of the unused SLC loop
to prevent Loop Break troubles from being reported.
PAS Night ByPass - If this setting is turned on, then devices configured
for Positive Alarm Sequence will automatically go into alarm during the
defined Night hours as well as the defined Weekend and Holiday days.
CLIP Mode - Checking this box enables the use of older FCI
analog/addressable smoke detectors and modules that use the older CLIP
protocol. This option is unchecked by default, enabling the use of Velociti
Series and SmartScan Series smoke detectors and modules. For more
information, see this page.
Supervise PM-9 Power Supply - Selecting this option will cause the
ILI-MB-E3 to supervise the PM-9 power supply. If the PM-9 is connected
to this ILI-MB-E3 via ribbon cable, the ILI-MB-E3 will supervise the PM-9
regardless of this setting.
LED Blink -
On - Checking this box will turn on the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Off - Checking this box will turn off the normal condition blinking for the
SLC devices LED's.
Blink Rate - Because the Velociti series devices poll much faster than
standard SLC devices, the option exists to change the frequency of the
LED blink. Selecting 0 indicates the fastest blink rate, while 15 is the
slowest blink rate.
NOTE: This option is not available when using the CLIP protocol.
NOTE: These settings are not available when CLIP Mode is selected.

NOTE: These delay and timing functions are only available if the NAC(s)
are NOT assigned to CAMable output groups.
NAC Cut Off Delay - This option allows the NAC circuits to be
automatically silenced after a set period of time. Note that this delay
begins after the silence inhibit delay ends. This setting may range from
No CutOff (meaning no delay is applied) to fifty (50) minutes (in five (5)
minute increments).
Silence Inhibit Delay - This setting will prevent the system from being
silenced after an alarm. This setting may range from No delay to
twenty-one (21) minutes (in two (2) minute increments).
PAS Acknowledge Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to acknowledge the alarm. If the fire alarm is not
acknowledged within this time interval the panel will cancel Positive Alarm
Sequence and go straight into fire alarm. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 15 seconds.
PAS Investigate Time - Select the time interval (in seconds) that the
panel will allow the user to investigate the source of the fire alarm once it
has been acknowledged. If the panel is not reset within this time interval
the system will go into fire alarm. However, if a subsequent fire alarm
occurs before this interval times out the system will go into fire alarm,
canceling the Positive Alarm Sequence. This setting may range from 1 to
6553 seconds. This setting defaults to 180 seconds.

Selecting No will cause the LCD-SLP to not perform a lamp test.
The following settings pertain to the selected LCD-SLP switch (selected by pressing on the
buttons that represent the LCD-SLP user-programmable push buttons):
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. Each switch may be
optionally configured for an Auxiliary Function. This auxiliary function differs for each switch
and may be viewed by clicking here.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, it will not trigger its
associated bit number.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, its associated LED's will be
taken over by the Auxiliary Function and will no longer be programmable via CAMs.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Description - The user may enter up to ten characters to describe this switch. This label
will be displayed on the LCD-SLP display to identify the switch's function.
The LCD-SLP's LED's are configured via CAMs. Please see this page 510 for more
information.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
This screen contains all settings that pertain to the panel's Notification Appliance Circuits,
the Municipal Circuit and the Coded Patterns used by the NAC's.
The following options are available for the Notification Appliance Circuits and the Municipal
Circuit:
Allow enable/disable of municipal circuit via display menus - When this option is

When any initiating device in the system goes into fire alarm condition during the defined
night period, this list of outputs will be activated.
CO/Gas Alarm - Check this option to place this output in the system default CO/Gas Alarm
list. When any initiating device in the system goes into a CO or Gas alarm condition, this list
of outputs will be activated.
Action - Check this option to place this output in the system default Action list. When an
input defined as Multilevel reaches the programmed "Action" threshold, this list of outputs
will be activated.
Supv (Supervisory) - Check this option to place this output in the system default Supervisory
list. When any supervisory device in the system goes into an Off Normal condition, this list of
outputs will be activated.
WT Drill (Walk Test/Drill) - Check this option to place this output in the system default Walk
Test/Drill list. This list of outputs is activated for audible walk test or during a Fire Drill.
Trouble - Check this option to place this output in the system default Trouble list. When
there is a trouble condition in the system, this list of outputs will be activated.
Output Group(s) - The NACs and Municipal circuit can belong to as many as four output
groups. These groups range from 125 to 224 and 500-599 and are controlled by CAM logic.
NOTE: The third and fourth Output Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 434 for more information on the
Group Disable feature.
Device Silence Option - When synchronized NAC's are silenced the system can take one
of two possible actions:
· Horn Only - Only the horns will be silenced when this option is selected.
· Horn and Strobe - Both horns and strobes will be silenced when this option is selected.
NOTE: If the Horn-only silence option is used, DO NOT silence the NAC circuit using
CAMs. Doing so will cause the circuit to completely turn off. Instead, use the
"Silenceable" checkbox to enable silencing of the NAC circuit.
The NAC Settings screen also includes the following Coded Patterns settings:
NOTE: The Coded Patterns section of the screen will appear disabled (grayed out) if
none of the Notification Appliance Circuits are configured for coded operation.
The user may set a different coded pattern for each of five system conditions. These coded
patterns selections apply only to the onboard NACS, and only if configured for coded
operation. Control elements cannot be coded.
To choose a coded pattern, click on the drop-down list for each condition and select one of
the available options. The default setting for each condition is Steady.

Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The E3 Series supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in the Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
On this screen, there is a large grid the contains entries for sixteen "Profiles". A "profile"
defines a set of response characteristics that can be applied to one or more Acclimate, 4-
Warn and/or Fire/CO Sensors. Each profile is broken down into the following configurable
settings:
Profile Number - This number identifies the profile. It ranges from 1 to 16. This field is not
editable.
Smoke Response - Chooses the panel's response to smoke. The following options are
available:
Response Type Description
If the "Smoke" response for the profile is configured for "No Response", the panel will not
respond to a magnet test on the device, even if the "Heat" response is configured for a
valid response type.
Activate General Outputs for Smoke Response - When checked, the panel will activate
the appropriate general output list as a response to smoke.
Latch Smoke Response - When checked, the event generated as a response to smoke will
be latching. If unchecked, the event will restore if the level of smoke dissipates below the
sensor's configured smoke sensitivity setting.
Activate General Outputs for CO Response (Fire/CO Sensors only) - When checked,
the panel will activate the appropriate general output list as a response to CO.
Latch CO Response (Fire/CO Sensors only) - When checked, the event generated as a
response to CO will be latching. If unchecked, the event will restore if the level of CO
dissipates below the sensor's pre-defined CO sensitivity setting.
Heat Response - Chooses the panel's response to carbon monoxide. The following options
are available:
Response Type Description
If the "Heat" response for the profile is configured for "No Response", the panel will use
the configured "Smoke" response for the profile for magnet tests. If the "Smoke"
response is also set for "No Response", the panel will issue an alarm when such a device
is magnet tested.
Activate General Outputs for Heat Response - When checked, the panel will activate the
appropriate general output list as a response to heat.
Latch Heat Response - When checked, the event generated as a response to heat will be
latching. If unchecked, the event will restore if the ambient temperature decreases below
sensor's pre-defined heat alarm threshold.
Description - The user may up to 40 characters of text to describe this profile. This is for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
7.3.12 Input Devices
The input devices screen is used to configure all sensors and monitor modules connected to
an ILI-MB-E3 or ILI-S-E3 node.
At the very top of the screen is a field labeled "Show Devices". This field allows the user to
filter the list of devices in the grid below to show all devices, all Ion sensors, all Photo
sensors, all Thermal sensors, all Multi-criteria sensors or all Monitor Modules. Once a
selection is made, CAMWorks will automatically filter the list.
Below the "Show Devices" field is a large grid that displays all of the input devices that are
configured, based on the filter setting above.
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Floor # - Enter the floor of the building that the device is located on. This field is used for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 40.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Input Group Numbers - To modify one of the four numbers, enter the group (1-99,
300-499) number in the Group field. (Outputs assigned to this group will be shown in the list
at the bottom of the screen). If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does allow for multiple input groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set
its respective Trouble SSM bit.
WARNING: Group 0, which really means "No Group Assignment", may be assigned to
input devices. There is no bit in the System Status Map for Group 0. Therefore, no
custom I/O relationships may be created for an input device if all of its Input Group
assignments are set to Group 0.
NOTE: When an input device produces a verification, PAS, cross zone or multilevel
pre-alarm, only the first group assigned to the device will be activated. Once the device
produces a fire alarm response alarm groups will be activated (see note in blue below).
For cross zone alarms, only the first group assigned will be activated upon the
pre-alarm. The rest of the groups assigned to the device will not activate. Instead, the
groups assigned to the cross zone will activate when the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: In ILI firmware V2.5-001 and later, the alarm group behavior for certain device
types has changed as follows:
For Acclimate Dual and 4-Warn Dual Devices: When a fire alarm occurs, the SSM ‘
alarm’ bit activates only for the second, third and fourth input groups assigned to the
device.
For MCS-COF Devices configured for "Dual Smoke/CO Alarm Response", including the
"Photo/CO Sens" pre-defined device type: When a fire alarm occurs, the SSM ‘alarm’ bit
activates for the first, third and fourth input groups assigned to the device.
NOTE: The group assignment fields are color coded for device types that produce the
following response types:
Color Description
RED Groups colored RED will activate upon a fire alarm condition from the
device.
YELLOW Groups colored YELLOW will activate upon a supervisory condition from
the device.
BLUE Groups colored BLUE will activate upon a CO or Gas alarm condition
from the device.
NO COLOR If any of the other group columns are color coded for this device, the
group assigned to this column will not activate.
NOTE: Action (pre-alarm) conditions and supervisory conditions will only activate the
input group assigned to first group column.
NOTE: The third and fourth Input Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 572 for more information on the
Group Disable feature. A Disable Type Tag may only be assigned to the fourth Input
Group assignment for MCS-COF Devices configured for "Triple Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm
Response", including the "Photo/CO Trpl" pre-defined device type.
NOTE: A Disable Type Tag may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment
for MCS-COF Devices configured for "Triple Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm Response",
including the "Photo/CO Trpl" pre-defined device type. Likewise, a Disable Type Tag
may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment for intelligent FAAST
devices on an E3 Series FACP that are configured for the default Five-level Multi-level
Alarm Response 573 .
NOTE: Input devices configured for Five-level Multi-level Alarm Response set their
Input Group states differently from other device types in order to allow for unique
control-by-event for each of the five graduated response levels. See this page 573 for
more information.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 574 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Freeze - When enabled, the Thermal detector will issue a trouble condition when it senses
temperatures near 32°F (0°C). This setting is only applicable to Thermal sensors.
Input Group Numbers - To modify one of the four numbers, enter the group (1-99,
300-499) number in the Group field. (Outputs assigned to this group will be shown in the list
at the bottom of the screen). If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does allow for multiple input groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set
its respective Trouble SSM bit.
WARNING: Group 0, which really means "No Group Assignment", may be assigned to

B200S sounder base to enable full Boolean logic control of the sounder base via CAMs 21 .
If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic Input/Output Functionality. If no
group is assigned (group is 0), the ON/OFF state of the sounder base will follow the state of
the sensor's LED.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does support an output group assignment for B200S
sounder bases, the sensor's first group assigned will set its respective Trouble SSM bit
should a trouble condition occur on the B200S rather than the output group assigned to
the sounder base.
Chirp - When enabled, the B200S sounder base at this address will periodically make a
brief audible chirp to annunciate local trouble conditions. This feature may be customized in
the General Settings 461 screen.
NOTE: The E3 Series system has an option to chirp the sounder bases when the
attached sensor is tested during walk test (see the General Settings 461 page). This
feature will function regardless of whether or not the sounder base is configured to chirp
for local annunciation purposes.

The Add Devices screen is used to define new input devices. The following procedure may
be used to define new input devices:
Step 1:
Select Sensors or Modules - In order to add input devices, the user must select
between Sensors and Modules. Doing so will filter the list of available devices types to
show only the devices types that are applicable for sensors or device types that are
applicable to modules.
Step 2:
Select Device Type - Select the device type to be assigned to the selected addresses
from the drop-down list. See this page 545 for information on the available sensor device
types or this page 565 for information on the available module device types.
Step 3:
Select Loop - Select the Loop where device(s) to be added are located. Click on the
Loop 1 or Loop 2 option button.
Step 4:
Input Group 1 - Select the group number for the devices to be added (this may also be
set in the Input Devices entry screen) from the drop-down list. Input devices may belong
to input groups ranging from 1-99 and 300-499.
NOTE: This will only set the first group for the device. If you wish to assign more groups,
this must be done in the Input Devices screen.
Step 5:
Check Addresses To Add - Select all addresses to be added by checking the address
number(s).
Step 6:
Verify - To change the verification setting for a particular address, select a new option
from the drop-down list in this field. Setting this field to "Verify" enables the automatic
verification, while setting this option to "PAS" enables Positive Alarm Sequence. Setting
this field to "None" disables verification for this device. Select "DFlt" to use the default
verification setting chosen on the General Settings 461 screen.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for verification and/or PAS. See the
following pages for information about compatible device types:
Step 7:
Day Sensitivity/Night Sensitivity - Set the desired day and night sensitivity settings for
smoke detectors via these drop-down lists. For Thermal detectors, these fields set the
device's temperature threshold. The allowable selections differ based on the device type.
NOTE: The Sensitivity settings are available for Sensor device types only.
NOTE: Sensitivity settings for intelligent FAAST devices may only be configured
through System Sensor's PipeIQ 934 utility.
Step 8:
High Temperature Detector (Thermal Detectors only) - Select this option if the devices
being added are High Temperature thermal sensors.
Step 9:
Event Profile # - If the device type is a multi-criteria sensor (MCS-Acclimate2/2F,
MCS-COF or MCS-4-Warn), this field is enabled to allow choosing the response profile to
assigned to this device. The profile may be assigned by either typing the profile number
(1-16, if known) or using the browse ( ) button. Clicking the browse button will open a
window that displays the settings of all of the available profiles. Simply highlight one of
the profiles in the grid and click OK to make a selection.
NOTE: This is an advanced user feature. Please see this page 450 for more
information on how to properly configure this feature.
Step 10:
Description - This label will appear as the identifier for these addresses when any event
occurs at one of these addresses. The maximum number of characters for this label is
40. The same description will be added to all selected addresses.
Step 11:
DACT Code - Choose the method that CAMWorks will use to assign a DACT Code 574 to
the new devices. See this page 575 for more information.
Step 12:
Add - Click on the "Add" button to program the selected addresses. (The user will be
asked to confirm the selections).
List View - The list view at the bottom of the screen lists all of the device types and
groups for the addresses on the currently selected loop.
Select All - Click on this button to toggle between placing or clearing check marks from
all addresses.
NOTE: CAMWorks supports a feature called "Block Add" that allows the user to easily
assign sequential blocks of SLC devices. See this page 495 for more information.
Block Add is a method of adding new devices to the configuration. It is used when many
devices of the same type need to be added to sequential addresses. Block Add is similar to
the standard method of adding devices and many of the same settings may be configured
via Block Add as with the standard Add Devices screen. The following procedure may be
used to define new input devices using Block Add:
Step 1:
Select Sensors or Modules - In order to add input devices, the user must select
between Sensors and Modules. Doing so will filter the list of available devices types to
show only the devices types that are applicable for sensors or device types that are
applicable to modules.
Step 2:
Select Device Type - Select the device type to be assigned to the selected addresses
from the drop-down list. See this page 545 for information on the available sensor device
types or this page 565 for information on the available module device types.
Step 3:
Select Loop - Select the Loop where device(s) to be added are located. Click on the
Loop 1 or Loop 2 option button.
Step 4:
Input Group 1 - Select the group number for the devices to be added (this may also be
set in the Input Devices entry screen) from the drop-down list. Input devices may belong
to input groups ranging from 1-99 and 300-499.
NOTE: This will only set the first group for the device. If you wish to assign more groups,
this must be done in the Input Devices screen.
Step 5:
Block Add Options - When Block Add is used the address selection check boxes are not
used. Instead, Block Add requires the following information from the user in order to add
devices in a sequence:
a. Number of Devices - Select how many devices should be added.
b. Starting Address - Select the first address in the block. All devices will be
added starting with this address.
NOTE: The "Block Add Option" checkbox must be checked in order to use the Block
Add feature.
Block Add has several options for handling address overlaps. An address overlap
occurs when there are devices already programmed in the range of addresses that
Block Add is set to add new devices to. For example, an address overlap exists if
Block Add is configured to add 4 devices starting at address 10 and addresses 12 and
13 already have devices assigned to them. CAMWorks offers the following methods of
handling address overlaps:
Skip address and continue with the next When an address overlap occurs,
address CAMWorks skips adding a new device at
this address and continues with the next
address and adds a the number of
devices selected above to the
configuration.
For example, If you have devices at
addresses 4-8 and want to add 10 devices
starting at address 2, you will end up
having addresses 2-3 and 9-16 containing
new devices, while 4-8 will contain their
original device assignments.
Overwrite existing address Erases the existing device at the address
and adds a new one in its place.
Abort this entry and continue to next When an address overlap occurs,
address CAMWorks skips adding a new device at
this address and continues with the next
address and stops at the address
(Number of Devices + Starting Address).
For example, If you have devices at
addresses 4-8 and want to add 10 devices
starting at address 2, you will end up
having addresses 2-3 and 9-11 containing
new devices, while 4-8 will contain their
original device assignments.
Abort auto entry and save the entries When an address overlap occurs,
made up to this point CAMWorks aborts adding new devices.
Abort auto entry without keeping the new When an address overlap occurs,
entries CAMWorks aborts adding new devices
and discards any changes that would have
been made by Block Add.
Step 6:
Verify - To change the verification setting for a particular address, select a new option
from the drop-down list in this field. Setting this field to "Verify" enables the automatic
verification, while setting this option to "PAS" enables Positive Alarm Sequence. Setting
this field to "None" disables verification for this device. Select "DFlt" to use the default
verification setting chosen on the General Settings 461 screen.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for verification and/or PAS. See the
following pages for information about compatible device types:
Step 7:
Day Sensitivity/Night Sensitivity - Set the desired day and night sensitivity settings for
smoke detectors via these drop-down lists. For Thermal detectors, these fields set the
device's temperature threshold. The allowable selections differ based on the device type.
NOTE: The Sensitivity settings are available for Sensor device types only.
NOTE: Sensitivity settings for intelligent FAAST devices may only be configured
through System Sensor's PipeIQ 934 utility.
Step 8:
High Temperature Detector (Thermal Detectors only) - Select this option if the devices
being added are High Temperature thermal sensors.
Step 9:
Event Profile # - If the device type is a multi-criteria sensor (MCS-Acclimate2/2F,
MCS-COF or MCS-4-Warn), this field is enabled to allow choosing the response profile to
assigned to this device. The profile may be assigned by either typing the profile number
(1-16, if known) or using the browse ( ) button. Clicking the browse button will open a
window that displays the settings of all of the available profiles. Simply highlight one of
the profiles in the grid and click OK to make a selection.
NOTE: This is an advanced user feature. Please see this page 450 for more
information on how to properly configure this feature.
Step 10:
Description - This label will appear as the identifier for these addresses when any event
occurs at one of these addresses. The maximum number of characters for this label is
40. The same description will be added to all selected addresses.
Step 11:
DACT Code - Choose the method that CAMWorks will use to assign a DACT Code 574 to
the new devices. See this page 575 for more information.
Step 12:
Add - Click on the "Add" button to program the selected addresses. (The user will be
asked to confirm the selections).
List View - The list view at the bottom of the screen lists all of the device types and
groups for the addresses on the currently selected loop.
7.3.13 Output Devices
The output devices screen is used to configure all Addressable Output Modules (AOM's)
connected to an ILI-MB-E3 or ILI-S-E3 node. This screen houses a large grid that displays
all of the output devices that are configured.
The ILI-MB-E3 and ILI-S-E3 nodes support two basic AOM device types. These are the
Form-C Relay module (AOM-2RF/RCE-SS/MMO-6RF/RCM-SS), and the Signal/NAC
module (AOM-2SF/SCE-SS/MMO-6SF/SCM-SS).
The following programmable options are available for all AOM modules:
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Floor # - Enter the floor of the building that the device is located on. This field is used for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 40.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 574 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
Output Group Number(s) - To program group numbers, enter group numbers in the Group
entry fields. Up to four output groups (125-224, 500-599) can be entered. If you are unclear
on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic Input/Output Functionality.
NOTE: You cannot assign both output groups and General Output lists to the same
output module.
NOTE: The third and fourth Output Group assignments may also be assigned to Disable
Type Tags, which range from 600 to 699. See this page 572 for more information on the
Group Disable feature.
NOTE: While the E3 Series does allow for multiple output groups for each device, should
a trouble condition occur on a device only the first group assigned to the device will set its
respective Trouble SSM bit.
NOTE: You cannot assign output groups to "Silenceable" output device types.
Day Alarm - Check this option to place this output in the system default Day Alarm list.
When any initiating device in the system goes into afire alarm condition during the defined
day period, this list of outputs will be activated.
Night Alarm - Check this option to place this output in the system default Night Alarm list.
When any initiating device in the system goes into fire alarm condition during the defined
night period, this list of outputs will be activated.
CO/Gas Alarm - Check this option to place this output in the system default CO/Gas Alarm
list. When any initiating device in the system goes into a CO or Gas alarm condition, this list
of outputs will be activated.
Action - Check this option to place this output in the system default Action list. When an
input defined as Multilevel reaches the programmed "Action" threshold, this list of outputs
will be activated.
Supv (Supervisory) - Check this option to place this output in the system default Supervisory
list. When any supervisory device in the system goes into an Off Normal condition, this list of
outputs will be activated.
WT Drill (Walk Test/Drill) - Check this option to place this output in the system default Walk
Test/Drill list. This list of outputs is activated for audible walk test or during a Fire Drill.
Trouble - Check this option to place this output in the system default Trouble list. When
there is a trouble condition in the system, this list of outputs will be activated.
Fan Restart - The E3 Series supports a "Fan Restart" configuration option for AOM devices.
If this option is selected, the panel leaves such devices undisturbed during reset. The panel
indicates a Trouble condition "FANS OFF" fault message after the reset. To turn off the fan
restart AOM's, a function is available on the keypad's zero (0) key or, optionally an
ASM-16/ANU-48 switch. Activating the key or switch deactivates the AOM's that were left on
during reset and cancels the "FANS OFF" fault.
NOTE: Fan Restart may not be assigned to AOM's that are assigned to the General
Trouble output list.
Seq Restart - The E3 Series also provides "sequential restart" capability. Any outputs
configured for sequential restart are deactivated at a slow rate, either during reset (if not
configured for "Fan Restart"), or upon use of the zero "0" key or, optionally an
ASM-16/ANU-48 switch (if configured for "Fan Restart"). The time delay interval for
sequential reset is set in the Globals/Miscellaneous entry screen.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
Add 500 - Opens a screen where input devices may be added to the configuration.
Delete - Clicking the delete button will remove devices that have their "Sel" field checked
from the configuration.
Finally, below the row of buttons is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Output Group # > Output Devices", the second
is "Used/Unused Groups" and the third is "Linked Input Devices". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output Group # > Output Devices - This tab shows all output devices that are assigned to
the group that is selected in the "Select Output Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices. Double-clicking
one of the output groups in this list will add the selected output group to one of the Output
Group fields in the grid if one of the Output Group fields is highlighted.
Linked Input Devices - This tab shows SLC input devices that affect the status of the
output groups assigned to this device. This may display either devices on the current node
(local) or all nodes (network) by selecting one of the option buttons and clicking "Show".
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.13.1 Add
The Add Devices screen is used to define new output devices. The following procedure may
be used to define new output devices:
Step 1:
Select Device Type - Select the device type to be assigned to the selected addresses
from the drop-down list. See this page 565 for information on the available module device
types.
Step 2:
Select Loop - Select the Loop where device(s) to be added are located. Click on the
Loop 1 or Loop 2 option button.
Step 3:
Output Group 1 - Select the group number for the devices to be added (this may also be
set in the Output Devices entry screen) from the drop-down list. AOM's may belong to
output groups ranging from 125-224 and 500-599. An output group assignment of 0
indicates that no output group should be assigned to the device.
NOTE: This will only set the first group for the device. If you wish to assign more groups,
this must be done in the Output Devices screen.
Step 4:
Check Addresses To Add - Select all addresses to be added by checking the address
number(s).
Step 5:
Description - This label will appear as the identifier for these addresses when any event
occurs at one of these addresses. The maximum number of characters for this label is
40. The same description will be added to all selected addresses.
Step 6:
Floor # - Enter the floor of the building that the device is located on. This field is used for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
Step 7:
DACT Code - Choose the method that CAMWorks will use to assign a DACT Code 574 to
the new devices. See this page 575 for more information.
Step 8:
Add - Click on the "Add" button to program the selected addresses. (The user will be
asked to confirm the selections).
List View - The list view at the bottom of the screen lists all of the device types and
groups for the addresses on the currently selected loop.
Select All - Click on this button to toggle between placing or clearing check marks from
all addresses.
NOTE: CAMWorks supports a feature called "Block Add" that allows the user to easily
assign sequential blocks of SLC devices. See this page 501 for more information.
Block Add is a method of adding new devices to the configuration. It is used when many
devices of the same type need to be added to sequential addresses. Block Add is similar to
the standard method of adding devices and many of the same settings may be configured
via Block Add as with the standard Add Devices screen. The following procedure may be
used to define new input devices using Block Add:
Step 1:
Select Device Type - Select the device type to be assigned to the selected addresses
from the drop-down list. See this page 565 for information on the available module device
types.
Step 2:
Select Loop - Select the Loop where device(s) to be added are located. Click on the
Step 3:
Output Group 1 - Select the group number for the devices to be added (this may also be
set in the Output Devices entry screen) from the drop-down list. AOM's may belong to
output groups ranging from 125-224 and 500-599. An output group assignment of 0
indicates that no output group should be assigned to the device.
NOTE: This will only set the first group for the device. If you wish to assign more groups,
this must be done in the Output Devices screen.
Step 4:
Block Add Options - When Block Add is used the address selection check boxes are not
used. Instead, Block Add requires the following information from the user in order to add
devices in a sequence:
NOTE: The "Block Add Option" checkbox must be checked in order to use the Block
Add feature.
Block Add has several options for handling address overlaps. An address overlap occurs
when there are devices already programmed in the range of addresses that Block Add is
set to add new devices to. For example, an address overlap exists if Block Add is
configured to add 4 devices starting at address 10 and addresses 12 and 13 already have
devices assigned to them. CAMWorks offers the following methods of handling address
overlaps:
Step 5:
Description - This label will appear as the identifier for these addresses when any event
occurs at one of these addresses. The maximum number of characters for this label is
40. The same description will be added to all selected addresses.
Step 6:
Floor # - Enter the floor of the building that the device is located on. This field is used for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
Step 7:
DACT Code - Choose the method that CAMWorks will use to assign a DACT Code 574 to
the new devices. See this page 575 for more information.
Step 8:
Add - Click on the "Add" button to program the selected addresses. (The user will be
asked to confirm the selections).
List View - The list view at the bottom of the screen lists all of the device types and
groups for the addresses on the currently selected loop.
7.3.14 Cross Zones
This screen allows the user to configure the behavior of each of the node's thirty cross
zones. Like many other screens in CAMWorks, the display is arranged in a grid. The
settings available for each cross zone is described below:
Cross Zone - Indicates which virtual cross zone group will be affected by these settings.
This field is read-only.
Cross Zone Type - If this virtual cross zone group will be used as a group cross zone,
select "Group". If it will be used as a point cross zone, select "Point".
Config - Clicking this button opens a secondary screen that allows the user to assign the
desired points (point cross zoning) or input groups (group cross zoning).
Trigger - This option sets the trigger level of the cross zone (how many inputs or sets of
inputs need to activate before the cross zone activates). This can be set from two to seven
for point cross zoning or two to four for group cross zoning.
Response - The E3 Series currently allows two response types. The first is the Alarm
response, which will cause a fire alarm condition when the cross zone is activated. Second
is the non-reporting response. This response allows you to chain multiple cross zones
together or trigger outputs without causing a fire alarm on the system.
Zone Code - When the cross zone is activated it can trigger a zone code to sound, just like
any other input. This menu allows you to select one of up to 63 user-defined zone codes.
NOTE: This setting applies only to the ILI-MB-E3.
Virtual Alarm Group - The cross zone may be configured to trigger an output group or a
scratchpad when the activation threshold has been reached. This may range from 125-224
(Output Groups), 500-599 (Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
Virtual Pre-Alarm Group - When the one or more of the cross zone triggers activates (but
the configured trigger level has not yet been reached), it can be configured to trigger an
output group or a scratchpad. This may range from 125-224 (Output Groups), 500-599
(Extended Output Groups) and 416-439 (Scratchpads).
NOTE: Regardless of user programming, the ILI-MB-E3 or ILI-S-E3 will set bits in its
associated extended system status map for a Pre-alarm on a cross zone and for a Cross
Zone activation.
Day Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Day output list when the cross
zone is activated during the configured day hours.
Night Alarm - If the response type is configured for the Alarm Response, this will cause the
system to turn on all outputs configured for the General Alarm Night output list when the
cross zone is activated during the configured night hours, as well as the defined weekend
and holiday days.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
Below the grid is an information area. This information area contains three tabs of
information. The first is called "CrossZone # > Input Devices", the second is "Input Group #
> Input Devices" and the third is "Used / Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
CrossZone # > Input Devices - This section of the window shows which devices are
assigned to the selected cross zone. Devices may be added by using the Add button below.
To remove devices from the cross zone place a check in the "Sel" column next to the
desired device and click the Delete button below.
Input Group # > Input Devices - This tab shows all input devices that are assigned to the
group that is selected in the "Select Input Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the input groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more input devices
and green if the input group has not been assigned to any input devices. Double-clicking
one of the input groups in this list will add the selected input group to one of the Input Group
fields in the grid if one of the Input Group fields is highlighted.
Group CrossZone > Input Devices - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the devices
that are a member of a group cross zone that is highlighted in the grid above.
See this page 448 for more information about configuring cross zoning.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.15 ASM/ANU
NOTE: These settings apply only to the ILI-MB-E3.
The following settings may be selected for each module through this screen:
Board # - This field simply indicates which module will be affected by these settings. This
field cannot be changed.
Board Type - Select a board type to indicate that a board should be assigned to this
address or select "None", if no board should be assigned to this address.
Lamp Test - Selecting Yes will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to perform a lamp test when it
is reset. Selecting No will cause the ASM-16 or ANU-48 to not perform a lamp test.
At the bottom of the ASM/ANU screen is a configuration window to allow the configuration of
the module's switches. This window changes depending on which module is selected. The
following fields are displayed in the grid in this window:
Switch Input # - This field is a reference that indicates which switches are available.
Bit # - This field indicates the system status map bit assigned to this switch.
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. Switches one through eight
may also be configured for an Auxiliary Function, except for Switch #6. This auxiliary
function differs for each switch and may be viewed by clicking here. Even though the ANU-
48 only supports eight physical switches, switches #9-16 are displayed as Toggle/Selector
switches to acknowledge the fact that each ANU-48 switch has two bits associated with it in
the System Status Map.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, it will not trigger its
associated bit number.
NOTE: When a switch is configured for its Auxiliary Function, its associated LED's will be
taken over by the Auxiliary Function and will no longer be programmable via CAMs.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
NOTE: On the ANU-48, switches #9-16 are always configured as Latching and cannot be
changed.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Description - This descriptive text is available for display while programming CAMs and is
not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.

Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAMs in this screen will control Output Groups that can be assigned to AOMs and
discrete outputs such as the NAC Circuits and the Municipal Circuit.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.

Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAMs on this screen affect the user-programmable LEDs on the LCD-SLP annunciators
connected to this panel. At the top of the screen are three filters:
LCD-SLP No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected LCD-SLP.
Switch No. - Display the CAMs only for the selected switch.
LED Type - Display the CAMs only for the selected type of CAM (ON/Off, Blink, Red or
Green).
The filters are ANDed with each other. This means that only the CAMs that match all criteria
will be displayed in the grid below.
The following describes the four different types of CAMs that control the behavior of each
LCD-SLP programmable LED:
On/Off - A CAM expression written in this area will turn the LED ON steady when the CAM
evaluates to a TRUE and will turn the LED off when the CAM evaluates to a false.
Blink - A CAM expression written in this area will blink the LED when the CAM evaluates to
a TRUE and will turn the LED off (or on steady, based on the On/Off CAM expression) when
the CAM evaluates to a false.
NOTE: The LED blink CAM Expression takes priority over the LED On/Off if both CAM
expressions are TRUE at the same time.
Red - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Red" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Red, unless
the Green CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
Green - The LCD-SLP programmable LEDs can be configured to be Green, Red or Amber.
When the "Green" CAM expression evaluates to TRUE, the the LED will appear Green,
unless the Red CAM expression also evaluates to TRUE at the same time.
NOTE: The LED will appear Amber when both the Red and Green CAM Expressions
evaluate to TRUE or both evaluate to FALSE.
NOTE: If an LCD-SLP switch has been configured for its Auxiliary Function, the CAM
entry fields, as well as the description field will be grayed out.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.

The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Schedule 523 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 526 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 529 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 532 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.21.1 Schedule
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.21.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.21.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
7.3.21.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic

Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAM expressions in this section are a part of the Group Disable 572 feature of the E3
Series. Each Input and Output Group has one CAM expression assigned. When the CAM
expression is TRUE, all devices assigned to the associated Group will enter DISCONNECT
trouble and will be treated as a disabled device. When the CAM expression goes back to
FALSE, the DISCONNECT troubles associated with the assigned Input Group will be
restored.
NOTE: In order for the following settings to take effect, the ILI-MB-E3 or ILI-S-E3 must
be running V2.4-001 or later of the System Operating Software.
This screen also hosts a single CAM Expression to enable EasyTest mode. EasyTest is a
feature of the MCS-Acclimate2F (in Velociti mode only) and MCS-4-Warn multi-criteria
sensors that simplifies detector testing. When the CAM expression at bit location #3777
evaluates to TRUE, the panel will activate EasyTest mode for all MCS-Acclimate2F (in
Velociti mode only), MCS-COF and MCS-4-Warn multi-criteria sensors on that node. When
EasyTest mode is enabled, these multi-criteria sensors may be tested using canned smoke.
NOTE: The panel will activate EasyTest mode automatically during Walk Test, regardless
of the state of bit #3777.

Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAM expressions in this section are a part of the Group Disable 572 feature of the E3
Series. Input and/or output devices may individually be assigned to Disable Type Tags.
Each Disable Type Tag has one CAM expression assigned. When the CAM expression is
TRUE, all devices assigned to the associated Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT
trouble and will be treated as a disabled device. When the CAM expression goes back to
FALSE, the DISCONNECT troubles associated with the assigned Disable Type Tag will be
restored.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The E3 Series has complete control over several aspects of the operation of the smoke
detectors that was not possible in earlier products. One of these features includes
controlling the so-called Remote Outputs of the smoke detectors. These include both
sounder bases and relay bases.
Each sensor has a CAM expression to control its remote output. When the CAM expression
evaluates to TRUE the output will turn ON, when it evaluates to FALSE the output will turn
OFF.
NOTE: Once a CAM expression has been entered for a Sensor Remote Output, it will
override the automatic activation of the output (ie. the standard follow-the-LED activation).
If automatic operation is desired after a CAM expression has been written, simply erase
the CAM expression.
NOTE: These settings are not available when CLIP Mode is selected.
NOTE: These CAMS have no effect on B200S sounder bases. B200S sounder bases
may belong to an output group instead.
For Intelligent FAAST devices, the Sensor Remote Output bit takes on a different meaning.
It is used to determine whether or not to turn off the device's aspiration unit (fan) when the
device is disabled from the front-panel menus or as part of a group disable operation.
When the Sensor Remote Output bit is FALSE, the aspiration unit will be left ON (Isolate
Mode) when the device is disabled from the panel. When the Sensor Remote Output bit is
TRUE, the aspiration unit will be turned OFF (Disabled Mode) when the device is disabled
from the panel.
NOTE: There is no change in the fan state if the value of the Sensor Remote Output bit
changes while the device is already disabled.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
See this page 925 for more information about the Advanced CAM Programming Editor.
See this page 920 for more information about Advanced CAM Programming in general.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

3.) Disable Type Tags - Disable Type Tags allow both input and output devices to be
disabled with the activation of one CAM expression. Disable Type Tags, which range in
number from 600-699, may be assigned to the third and/or fourth Input/Output Group
assignment of a device. When the CAM expression for the indicated Disable Type Tag goes
TRUE, all devices assigned to the Disable Type Tag will enter DISCONNECT trouble and
will become disabled. Disable Type Tags may be assigned a short description in this screen
507 , and will appear in the third and fourth group assignment drop-down lists in the Configure
NAC's, Module Parameters and Sensor Parameters screens in place of the Disable Type
Tag's number. It will also be disabled in the CAM entry screen for the Disable Type Tag.
NOTE: A Disable Type Tag may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment
for MCS-COF Devices configured for "Triple Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm Response",
including the "Photo/CO Trpl" pre-defined device type. Likewise, a Disable Type Tag
may only be assigned to the fourth Input Group assignment for intelligent FAAST
devices on an E3 Series FACP that are configured for the default Five-level Multi-level

8.1 Basic steps in configuring a 7100 panel
8.1.1 Programming node-wide parameters and default settings
There are many global programming options available for the 7100. Most of these options
have been initialized to default settings when the project was created and initialized. These
default settings should be appropriate for a basic 7100 panel configuration. However, any or
all of these parameters may be modified to suit the needs of any individual custom
configuration.
To modify any of these settings, select the appropriate icons under the current 7100 node in
the Project Explorer 56 .
The following settings, located in Project Globals, will affect the 7100:
Passwords 35
User Defined Types 36
Miscellaneous Globals 41
Finally, there are settings on the Silence Settings 44 and Node Summary 57 screens that
also affect the 7100.
After completing globals programming, you're ready to continue with "Programming loop
devices and groups".
8.1.2 Programming Loop devices and groups
The 7100 system is configured as either a one or two Loop system. There are 197 total
addresses available for programming on each Loop. The device addresses for each loop
include 1 - 99 for sensors and 1 - 98 for modules (AMMs and AOMs). Module address 99 on
each Loop is reserved.
Each device address has a number of programmable options available. These include
options such as Device Type, Group(s), Description Label, etc. Some of these options, such
as sensitivity settings and verification, can be set on a node-wide basis in the "General
Settings" entry screen. These settings can also be modified by point address in the
appropriate entry screen.
To program the device types and I/O groups for each address, select either the Input
Devices (all sensors and monitor modules) or Output Devices (AOMs) icon from the Project
Explorer 56 .
The entry screens for these types are very similar. The main difference is the list of device
types that are available on each entry screen.
See Input Devices 605 and Output Devices 611 for programming information on these entry
screens.
After completing SLC devices and groups entries, continue to "Entering Labels and
modifying default settings for SLC devices"
8.1.3 Entering labels and modifying default settings for Loop devices
To enter labels for each Loop device, select either the Input Devices (all sensors and
AMM's) or Output Devices (all AOM's) icon from the Project Explorer 56 .
To enter a label or modify the global default settings for any device, select the appropriate
device from the grid. Labels may be entered for each address in the description label entry
field. Labels can be up to 19 characters in length.
Other fields can also be modified by address on the entry grid. Click on the following help
links to view programming information for the various device types.
See LED Annunciators 598 and Input Groups 610 for more information.
8.1.5 Programming Group Options
Each input group in the system has several programmable options. These options can be
modified in the "Input Groups" entry screen. Options available for each group include
"Activate General Alarm List", and "Activate General Supervisory List". Input addresses
that comprise the current group are displayed in the list at the bottom of the screen. This list
is updated as the user moves from group to group.
There is also an entry field to include the group in a cross zone (1-25). For an understanding
of cross zone operation in the 7100, see Cross Zone Functions 644 .
See Input Groups 610 and General Output Lists for further information.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks
will download SLC device labels or CAM Text messages to the selected node.
Send Virtual Switch Labels (S3 Series FACP and ANX nodes only) - When
selected, CAMWorks will download Virtual Switch labels to the selected node.
Send Configuration - When selected, CAMWorks will download the configuration to
the selected node.
Download Screen Saver (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download
images to the NGA for use as a screen saver.
Download Logo (NGA Only) - When selected, CAMWorks will download a user
supplied image that will be displayed on the System Normal screen.
Download -
Click on this button to begin the download. The user will be prompted to enter the system
Level 4 access code before the download will begin. If all goes well, the Download process
will continue until completed. The panel will reset following a successful download.
NOTE: If the system has not been previously configured, you should enter the system
default level 4 password. If a custom level 4 password has already been downloaded to
the panel, then that code should be entered instead.
Close -
Click on this command button to exit this screen.
Validation -
Click on this button to open the Program Validation 49 screen to scan the current project for
known types of configuration errors.
7100 Upload -

for 7100 Standalone projects. See this page 870 for more information.
the General Output Lists. To assign an output to a list, Click the checkbox to select that
item.
To place an AOM in a General Output List, select the Output Devices 611 icon from Project
Explorer 56 and follow the same procedure outlined above.
By assigning individual inputs and outputs to groups the user is able to create relationships
between these groups.
Two methods may be used to link input devices and output devices. These are:
1.) Direct linkage using local groups. A device can be assigned a local group number
(1-99) in the Input Devices or Output Devices screen. An output device configured as a
member of any local group would automatically activate upon the activation of any input
device that is also a member of that same local group.
2.) Conditional Action Map (CAM 21 ) Logic. The user can assign a CAM controlled group
(125-224) to an output device in the NAC Settings or Output Devices) entry screens.
Once that is done, the user must write a CAM Expression in the CAM Output Groups 618
screen. When the assigned CAM Expression goes TRUE the output devices will activate.
The System ID Label is configured in the Node Summary 57 screen, which is called System
Overview for non-networked projects. Enter the label text in the System ID Label text box.
This label can be up to 19 characters in length and may not be blank. Click on the Save
The User Defined Device Types are configured on a project-level instead of the node-level,
meaning that each S3 Series FACP, 7100, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3 and NGA that may be
present in the system will use the same set of User Defined AMM Device Types.
To access these settings, you must access the User Defined Device Types screen, which
may be found in the Project Globals 35 > Network Settings 35 > User Defined Types 36 icon
in The Ribbon 27 , or by accessing the User Defined Types 62 icon, which is under the
Network Settings 61 icon under Project Globals 61 in the Project Explorer 56 .
NOTE: For 7100 Standalone projects, the icon for User Defined Types 591 appears under
the 7100 panel icon.
These entry fields should currently be set to "DFlt". This indicates that this point is
configured to the global settings for these options (set in the General Settings 593 screen).
To change an entry, click on the entry field and select a new setting from the drop down list.
8.2.6 Disable downloading for a particular SLC address
Some projects may have to be completed in phases. CAMWorks allows the user to
configure all of the points in the system and download only those devices that are physically
present in the system at any given time.
The Input Devices and Output devices screens contain an Active field. The Active field
contains an icon that may be toggled by double-clicking or by pressing the space bar when
the field has the focus (the background of the field will be highlighted when the field has the
focus). The icon itself will turn green to indicate that that address is active, or gray to
indicate that the address is inactive. When downloading a configuration, the inactive
devices will be skipped. When the inactive devices are ready to be downloaded, just toggle
the Active icons back to green, and they will be sent to the panel.
8.2.7 View selected reports in a window
To view or print individual reports for the current node, select the node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 . Select the report of
interest from the drop-down list and then click the Show Report command button.
This feature displays the reports exactly as they will be printed. If the report contains multiple
pages, you can move among the pages by clicking on the Move Next > and the Move
Previous < arrows located at the top of the screen.
To print the report, click on the Printer icon ( ) on the toolbar at the top of the Report
Viewer window.
8.2.8 Export file in different formats
CAMWorks allows the user to export data files in different formats. For example, if you
would like to export a file in a Word For Windows format, select node's icon in the Project
Explorer 56 . A Report Viewer window will appear in the main area 53 of the screen. Select
the report of interest from the grid by placing a check mark in the selection field next to the
desired report and then click on the Show Report command button. The selected report will
appear on the screen. To export this document in the chosen format, click on the Export icon
(disk icon, ) at the top of the screen. Select the format option from the list of available
options and click OK to create the file.
CAMWorks also includes a method of performing a direct export to a Microsoft Excel file.
See this page 50 for more information.
8.2.9 Create Zone Codes
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The 7100 supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.
8.2.10 Setup a cross zone
The 7100 provides up to 25 cross zones. There are two types of cross zones available. One
type is group cross zoning, and the other is point cross zoning. Each cross zone provides a
counting function with a user configurable trigger level. The trigger may be set to any value
between 2 and 7.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input device groups
must not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected
results.
The cross zone activates when it has been triggered by the number of groups or points that
matches the configured trigger level. When activated, the cross zone activates the outputs
of the configured cross zone group (100-124). The system groups 100 through 124 are set
aside for cross zone use and are not available as standard I/O groups. The General Alarm
outputs are also activated, if configured to do so for that particular cross zone. An "XZONE
ALRM" is reported on the display and printer. A zone code may also be configured for cross
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
NOTE: Cross Zone Groups on the 7100 do not have associated bits in the System Status
Map. Therefore, it is not possible to directly read the status of a cross zone in a CAM
expression. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit in the 7100's
System Status Map that may be used in CAMs.
NOTE: If desired, the system may be configured to produce the full cross-zone response
for point cross zones, even if the system is already in alarm by enabling the "Enable
Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm" option in the Cross Zone
616 screen.
Group Cross Zone – The 7100 provides group cross zoning by linking input groups directly
to a particular cross zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone
virtual groups is twenty-five in any mixture. When any device in a member input group goes
into alarm, that one device will count towards the cross zone's trigger level. If another
smoke detector in the same input group goes into alarm it will not increase the trigger count.
The cross zone trigger level will increase if a smoke detector in a different input group that is
a member of the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
NOTE: Cross Zone Groups on the 7100 do not have associated bits in the System Status
Map. Therefore, it is not possible to directly read the status of a cross zone in a CAM
expression. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit in the 7100's
System Status Map that may be used in CAMs.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input device groups
must not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected
results.
NOTE: All cross zone triggers on the 7100 must reside on the same panel.
NOTE: Cross Zone groups (used to link output devices to a cross zone activation) affect
only the local 7100 panel. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit
in the 7100's System Status Map that may be read by other nodes.
The system allows four levels of password access to prevent unauthorized modification of
critical system functions. In addition, the system supports a maximum of five different
passwords for each of the four access levels to provide for unique identification of up to five
different users. Each password must be numeric and may range from (000001 - 999999).
The value of 000000 is not allowed.
There are four levels of access granted by the system. These are Level 1, Level 2, Level 3,
and Level 4. Level 4 grants the user the greatest amount of access, while Level 1 grants the
least amount of access.
NOTE: The Level 4 Password may not be set to any of the standard default passwords
(111111, 222222, 333333 or 444444.)
There are five different users available, labeled as Users 1-5. This allows the user to create
five different sets of passwords (one for each access level.) The system's history log will
indicate which user gained access to the system when unique passwords are assigned to
each user.
NOTE: Even though CAMWorks requires the user to assign a non-default Level 4
password, it is still highly recommended to change the remaining system passwords to
non-default values.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The 7100 Series FACP provides the user with the ability to create custom AMM module
device types.
Device types 48-55 are reserved for 7100 User Defined Device Types. In the grid, the
device type number is highlighted in yellow for these device types.
The options available for each user defined type are as follows:
User Defined Device Type - This identifies what the physical device type is for this user
defined type. The following device types are available:
System Response Type - Selects the desired response to an activation from this device
type. See tables above for information about the available response types for each physical
device type.
Description - The text that will be associated with this User Defined Type. This will be used
for both on-screen and printed event reports. This description may be up to fourteen

networked projects, it appears under Project Globals 61 \Network Settings 61 \
Miscellaneous 66 .
The following system settings are configured through the Miscellaneous screen:
Trouble Reminder - If this option is enabled then acknowledged trouble events will be
periodically "unacknowledged". This means that the system's buzzer will be turned back on
and the System Trouble LED will blink as if a new trouble condition were being reported.
Multiple Trouble Acknowledge - Turning this option on will allow up to ten trouble
conditions to be acknowledged with one Trouble Acknowledge command.
Walk Test Timeout - The Walk Test timeout will cause the system to automatically cancel
the Walk Test mode if it isn't manually turned off. This value may be (30, 60 or 90 Minutes).
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
With the Gamewell-FCI 7100, you can optimize the sensitivity of the sensors for particular
times during the day, on weekends and on holidays. This can be used to increase sensitivity
for those times when a building is not in use. When the system's real-time clock reaches a
configured time or day, the system will automatically begin to use the Night Sensitivity
settings configured for each sensor. In addition, any Fire alarm that occurs during this time
will activate the General Night Alarm output list as well as both SSM bit 440 (Day Alarm or
Night Alarm) and SSM bit 441 (Night Alarm.)
Night Schedule - Select Night Start and Night Stop operation times from the drop-down
lists. During the programmed times, the sensors will operate with the defined Night
Sensitivity settings.
Weekend Schedule - Define weekend days for night sensitivity operation by checking the
appropriate days.

Output Lists.
Group(s) - The NACs and Municipal circuit can belong to as many as ten groups. These
groups could be local groups (1-99), cross zone groups (100 - 124), or Conditional Action
Map (CAM) Controlled Output groups (125 - 224).
NOTE: It is very important to assign only ONE group number to an output device when
using CAM Controlled Output Groups. Otherwise, the results of the CAM logic
evaluation for the first group number may have a different “truth” than the evaluation of
the logic for the second group number. This could produce undesirable results under
certain conditions.
It is also extremely important to note that you MUST NOT mix 7100 Local Groups and
7100 General Output Lists with Conditional Action Map control on the same output.
Unpredictable results may occur should the two control methods be mixed.
The NAC Settings screen also includes the following Coded Patterns settings:
NOTE: The Coded Patterns section of the screen will appear disabled (grayed out) if none
of the Notification Appliance Circuits are configured for coded operation.

The 7100 supports two basic AOM device types. These are the Form-C Relay module
(AOM-2RF/MMO-6RF), and the Signal/NAC module (AOM-2SF/MMO-6SF).
The following programmable options are available for all AOM modules:
Sel - Place a check in this field and click the Delete button to remove the device from this
address. Multiple devices may be selected if desired.
Active - To disable Downloading for a particular address, double-click or press the space
bar within this field to turn it grey. To re-enable the device, repeat the process to make the
field green.
Floor # - Enter the floor of the building that the device is located on. This field is used for
user reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
Description - Enter a location description for the current address. This label will appear as
the identifier for this address when any event occurs at this address. The maximum number
of characters for this label is 19.
NOTE: Any part of the description text can be copied to the Windows clipboard by
highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl-C. The text can then be copied to the description
field of another address by selecting that field and pressing Ctrl-V.
Groups - To program group numbers, enter group numbers in Group entry field. If more
than one group is to be entered, group numbers must be separated by commas (Ex: 1,2,3).
Up to three local groups (1-99) or cross zone groups (100-124) can be entered for all AOM
types. Instead of using the local groups and cross zone groups, AOMs can be programmed
to respond to ONE CAM Controlled Output Group (125-224). The Ext.Groups device types
may belong to as many as ten groups, but again those ten groups must be limited to local
groups and cross zone groups. If you are unclear on I/O groups concepts, see Help topic
Input/Output Functionality 643 .
NOTE: It is very important to assign only ONE group number to an output device when
using CAM Controlled Output Groups. Otherwise, the results of the CAM logic evaluation
for the first group number may have a different “truth” than the evaluation of the logic for the
second group number. This could produce undesirable results under certain conditions.
It is also extremely important to note that you MUST NOT mix 7100 Local Groups and 7100
General Output Lists with Conditional Action Map control on the same output.
Unpredictable results may occur should the two control methods be mixed.
NOTE: You cannot assign CAM-controlled output groups to "Silenceable" output device
types.
Day Alarm - Check this option to place this output in the system default Day Alarm list.
When any initiating device in the system goes into afire alarm condition during the defined
day period, this list of outputs will be activated.

Test/Drill list. This list of outputs is activated for audible walk test or during a Fire Drill.
Trouble - Check this option to place this output in the system default Trouble list. When
there is a trouble condition in the system, this list of outputs will be activated.
NOTE: The 7100 does not support the CO/Gas Alarm General Output List.
NOTE: For more information on the subject of General Output lists please see General
Output Lists.
Fan Restart - The 7100 supports a "Fan Restart" configuration option for AOM devices. If
this option is selected, the panel leaves such devices undisturbed during reset. The panel
indicates a Trouble condition "FANS OFF" fault message after the reset. To turn off the fan
restart AOM's, a function is available on the keypad's zero (0) key. Activating the key
deactivates the AOM's that were left on during reset and cancels the "FANS OFF" fault.
NOTE: Fan Restart may not be assigned to AOM's that are assigned to the General
Trouble output list.
Seq Restart - The 7100 also provides "sequential restart" capability. Any outputs configured
for sequential restart are deactivated at a slow rate, either during reset (if not configured for
"Fan Restart"), or upon use of the zero "0" key (if configured for "Fan Restart"). The time
delay interval for sequential reset is set in the General Settings 593 entry screen.
Add 614 - Opens a screen where input devices may be added to the configuration.
Block Add 615 - Opens a screen where ranges of input devices may be added to the
configuration.
Delete - Clicking the delete button will remove devices that have their "Sel" field checked
from the configuration.
Finally, below the row of buttons is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Output Group # > Output Devices", the second
is "Used/Unused Groups" and the third is "Linked Input Devices". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output Group # > Output Devices - This tab shows all output devices that are assigned to
the group that is selected in the "Select Output Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices. Double-clicking
one of the output groups in this list will add the selected output group to one of the Output
Group fields in the grid if one of the Output Group fields is highlighted.
Linked Input Devices - This tab shows SLC input devices that affect the status of the
output groups assigned to this device. This may display either devices on the current node
(local) or all nodes (network) by selecting one of the option buttons and clicking "Show".
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

NOTE: AOM's can be programmed into Local Groups (1-99) or CAM Controlled Output
Groups (125-224) through this screen.
Step 4:
Block Add Options - When Block Add is used the address selection check boxes are not
used. Instead, Block Add requires the following information from the user in order to add
devices in a sequence:
NOTE: The "Block Add Option" checkbox must be checked in order to use the Block
Add feature.
Block Add has several options for handling address overlaps. An address overlap occurs
when there are devices already programmed in the range of addresses that Block Add is
set to add new devices to. For example, an address overlap exists if Block Add is
configured to add 4 devices starting at address 10 and addresses 12 and 13 already have
devices assigned to them. CAMWorks offers the following methods of handling address
overlaps:
Skip address and continue with the next When an address overlap occurs,
address CAMWorks skips adding a new device at
this address and continues with the next
address and adds a the number of devices
selected above to the configuration.
For example, If you have devices at
addresses 4-8 and want to add 10 devices
starting at address 2, you will end up having
addresses 2-3 and 9-16 containing new
devices, while 4-8 will contain their original
device assignments.
Overwrite existing address Erases the existing device at the address
and adds a new one in its place.
Abort this entry and continue to next When an address overlap occurs,
address CAMWorks skips adding a new device at
this address and continues with the next
address and stops at the address (Number
of Devices + Starting Address).
For example, If you have devices at
addresses 4-8 and want to add 10 devices
starting at address 2, you will end up having
addresses 2-3 and 9-11 containing new
devices, while 4-8 will contain their original
device assignments.
Abort auto entry and save the entries made When an address overlap occurs,
up to this point CAMWorks aborts adding new devices.
Abort auto entry without keeping the new When an address overlap occurs,
entries CAMWorks aborts adding new devices and
discards any changes that would have been
made by Block Add.
Step 5:
Description - This label will appear as the identifier for these addresses when any event
occurs at one of these addresses. The maximum number of characters for this label is
19. The same description will be added to all selected addresses.
Step 6:
Add - Click on the "Add" button to program the selected addresses. (The user will be
asked to confirm the selections).
List View - The list view at the bottom of the screen lists all of the device types and
groups for the addresses on the currently selected loop.
Cross Zone - Indicates which virtual cross zone group will be affected by these settings.
This field is read-only.
Trigger - This option sets the trigger level of the cross zone (how many inputs or sets of
inputs need to activate before the cross zone activates). This can be set from two (2) to
seven (7).
Cross Zone Group - When the cross zone activates, it can be configured to trigger a
special cross zone group. The range is 100 to 124. These Cross Zone groups may be
assigned to output devices connected to this 7100 node.
NOTE: Cross Zone Groups on the 7100 do not have associated bits in the System Status
Map. Therefore, it is not possible to directly read the status of a cross zone in a CAM
expression. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit in the 7100's
System Status Map that may be used in CAMs.
Zone Code - When the cross zone is activated it can trigger a zone code to sound, just like
any other input. This menu allows you to select one of up to 63 user-defined zone codes.
Activate General Alarm - When set to "Yes", this will cause the system to turn on all
outputs configured for the General Alarm Day and General Alarm Night output lists when the
cross zone is activated. The panel will determine the activation of the Day or Night general
alarm list based on the setting in the Night/Weekend/Holiday Schedule 43 screen.
NOTE: This field also applies to the General Action output list. Setting this option to NO
prevents the General Action/PreAlarm outputs from being activated.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
Below the grid is an information area. This information area contains three tabs of
information. The first is called "CrossZone # > Input Devices", the second is "Input Group #
> Input Devices" and the third is "Used / Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
CrossZone # > Input Devices - This section of the window shows which devices are
assigned to the selected cross zone. Devices may be added by using the Add button below.
To remove devices from the cross zone place a check in the "Sel" column next to the
desired device and click the Delete button below.
Input Group # > Input Devices - This tab shows all input devices that are assigned to the
group that is selected in the "Select Input Group" drop-down list.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the input groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more input devices
and green if the input group has not been assigned to any input devices. Double-clicking
one of the input groups in this list will add the selected input group to one of the Input Group
fields in the grid if one of the Input Group fields is highlighted.
Group CrossZone > Input Devices - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the devices
that are a member of a group cross zone that is highlighted in the grid above.
See this page 588 for more information about configuring cross zoning.
NOTE: All cross zone triggers on the 7100 must reside on the same panel.
NOTE: Cross Zone groups (used to link output devices to a cross zone activation) affect
only the local 7100 panel. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit
in the 7100's System Status Map that may be read by other nodes.

NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

The CAMs in this screen will turn on or off the Scratchpads associated with this node.
Scratchpads can be referred to in other CAM expressions and are extremely useful in
reducing the complexity of other CAM expressions.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:

Schedule 626 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 629 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 632 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 636 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
8.3.17.1 Schedule
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Scratchpad SSM Bit, CAM Expression and
the CAM Comment.
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
8.3.17.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
8.3.17.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
8.3.17.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.

8.4 General
8.4.1 7100 Input/Output Functionality
The 7100 implements a powerful set of input-to-output relationships. Inputs may control
outputs in three distinct ways: condition-based general output lists, point-based input/output
groups, and CAM controlled output groups.
General Output Lists define the response of each system output device to the panel's
current condition (e.g. Day Alarm, Night Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, etc.). Each output
device may be programmed to activate under any combination of conditions.
NOTE: An output may not be assigned to the Walk Test/Drill and Trouble lists
simultaneously.
Input/Output Groups define relationships among specific input and output devices. Each
7100 input may be programmed to trigger two local groups (1-99). Each output may be
configured to be activated by up to three such groups (except for NACs, MuniCkt, and AOM
Extended Groups types which can belong to as many as ten groups).
Output devices may be programmed to use the 7100 General Output Lists and 7100 Local
Groups (1-99) or CAM Controlled Output Groups.
CAM Controlled Output Groups 618 - An output device may be assigned to ONE CAM
Controlled Output Group to enable full Boolean logic control. Under this case, the output is
solely controlled by the CAM expression written for the selected output group. CAM
Controlled Output Groups are incompatible with both the General Output List and local
Input/Output group control and may not be mixed. In addition, only ONE CAM Controlled
Output Group may be assigned to each output device.
NOTE: It is very important to assign only ONE group number to an output device when
using CAM Controlled Output Groups. Otherwise, the results of the CAM logic evaluation
for the first group number may have a different “truth” than the evaluation of the logic for
the second group number. This could produce undesirable results under certain
conditions.
It is also extremely important to note that you MUST NOT mix 7100 Local Groups and
7100 General Output Lists with Conditional Action Map control on the same output.
Unpredictable results may occur should the two control methods be mixed.

NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input device groups
must not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected
results.
The cross zone activates when it has been triggered by the number of groups or points that
matches the configured trigger level. When activated, the cross zone activates the outputs
of the configured cross zone group (100-124). The system groups 100 through 124 are set
aside for cross zone use and are not available as standard I/O groups. The General Alarm
outputs are also activated, if configured to do so for that particular cross zone. An "XZONE
ALRM" is reported on the display and printer. A zone code may also be configured for cross
zones. It is executed when the cross zone activates.
Point Cross Zone – A Point Cross Zone is a collection of individual points configured into a
virtual cross zone group. Point Cross Zoning provides a two-stage fire alarm condition
where the first alarm in the virtual group initiates an Action condition. The second stage
alarm is triggered when the number of alarms in the virtual cross zone group has reached a
pre-set trigger level (user programmable).
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
NOTE: Cross Zone Groups on the 7100 do not have associated bits in the System Status
Map. Therefore, it is not possible to directly read the status of a cross zone in a CAM
expression. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit in the 7100's
System Status Map that may be used in CAMs.
NOTE: If desired, the system may be configured to produce the full cross-zone response
for point cross zones, even if the system is already in alarm by enabling the "Enable
Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm" option in the Cross Zone
616 screen.
Group Cross Zone – The 7100 provides group cross zoning by linking input groups directly
to a particular cross zone. The total number of point cross zone and group cross zone
virtual groups is twenty-five in any mixture. When any device in a member input group goes
into alarm, that one device will count towards the cross zone's trigger level. If another
smoke detector in the same input group goes into alarm it will not increase the trigger count.
The cross zone trigger level will increase if a smoke detector in a different input group that is
a member of the cross zone goes into alarm.
NOTE: Only certain device types are eligible for cross zoning. See the following pages
for information about compatible device types:
NOTE: Cross Zone Groups on the 7100 do not have associated bits in the System Status
Map. Therefore, it is not possible to directly read the status of a cross zone in a CAM
expression. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit in the 7100's
System Status Map that may be used in CAMs.
NOTE: If a system is to use both by group and by point cross zoning, input device groups
must not be shared by both types of cross zoning as this could lead to unexpected
results.
NOTE: All cross zone triggers on the 7100 must reside on the same panel.
NOTE: Cross Zone groups (used to link output devices to a cross zone activation) affect
only the local 7100 panel. If desired, an AOM/AMM combination may be used to set a bit
in the 7100's System Status Map that may be read by other nodes.
Enable Multiple Point Cross Zone Activations When System is in Alarm - When
checked, point cross zone inputs will continue to prealarm after the system is already in
alarm, and the cross zones will activate when their threshold is reached. When unchecked,
all smoke detectors that are configured for point cross zoning will automatically go into alarm
when the system is in alarm and the outputs assigned to the cross zone will not activate.
8.4.3 Zone Coding Functions
Zone Coding allows an FACP to produce a distinct coded pattern on its NAC outputs, based
upon the particular input device or cross zone that caused the alarm condition.
The 7100 supports up to 63 different codes, each of which may be configured for any
pattern of two, three, or four digits. The digits may range from 1 to 14 pulses. After the
necessary codes are entered in the Zone Code table (in Zone Code screen), they can be
associated with individual input devices and cross zones in the appropriate entry screen (i.e.
Input Devices and Cross Zones). Multiple inputs may be assigned to run the same code, if
desired, or each input may have a unique code (up to a limit of 63 different codes).
To set the pulses for a particular zone code, simply select the digit in the entry grid and
choose the appropriate number of pulses for each digit from the drop-down list.

INCC 663
9 INCC
9.1 What Is the INCC?
The INCC is comprised of an Intelligent Network Interface - Voice Gateway (INI-VGC)
subassembly, a mixture of one to sixteen fully programmable Addressable Switch
Sub-Assemblies (ASM-16) and Addressable LED Driver Units (ANU-48), a microphone for
paging, and a telephone handset for fire fighter communications. See this page 663 for the
full list of supported Switch and Annunciator modules.
The following settings may be selected for each module through this screen:
Board # - This field simply indicates which module will be affected by these settings. This
field cannot be changed.
Board Type - Select a board type to indicate that a board should be assigned to this
address or select "None", if no board should be assigned to this address.
Lamp Test - When enabled, pressing Switch 1 on the module will turn ON all of the
module's LED's, overriding their normal operation. A second press of Switch 1 will return the
LED's to their normal operation.
At the bottom of the screen is an area where the user can customize the switch type and
enter a label for each switch available. These are for programming convenience only, and
are not downloaded to the system. These should be programmed to use for reference when
defining CAMs. These switch types can be viewed in the information pane located at the
bottom of the CAM entry screens.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The maximum number of characters for the label is 19. These labels will be downloaded to
the system, and will appear for any event report from the AOM.
If the AOM is present in the system double-click on the gray circle in the Active column (or
press the spacebar if that field is highlighted) to change the circle's color to green, otherwise
leave that circle gray. If an address is Active, but is not present in the system, a Missing
device trouble will be reported.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description

Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
AOM These CAMs will activate the AOM Telephone (AOM-TELF) modules on this
Telephone node (via the Module Control bit). These modules are used to provide a
Modules - connection between a firefighter telephone jack or warden station and a
firefighter telephone riser.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.

the current output group.
The CAMs in this screen control the state of the LED's on ASM-16 or ANU-48 modules. A
CAM expression written in this area will either light steady or blink the LED when the CAM
evaluates to a TRUE and will turn the LED off when the CAM evaluates to a false.
NOTE: The LED blink CAM Expression takes priority over the LED On/Off if both CAM
expressions are TRUE at the same time.
NOTE: If an ASM-16 or ANU-48 switch has been configured for its Auxiliary Function, the
CAM entry field, as well as the description field will be grayed out.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
Phone Page - Phone Page is enabled to allow the phone channel to be paged through
the amplifiers instead of the microphone channel.
Phone Ring - Activating the Phone Ring function will cause the panel's piezo buzzer
to sound in an ON/OFF alternating pattern. The Phone Ring function
overrides the Buzzer function If both CAM Expressions are TRUE at the
same time.
Buzzer - Activating the Buzzer function will cause the panel's piezo buzzer to
sound in a steady pattern.
Phone Enable - When enabled, the Phone Enable function opens a network connection
for the firefighter telephones. This does not need to be enabled if all
phones that need to be active at a given time are all connected to the
same node, only when some phones that need to be active are located
on this node and others on other nodes.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.

Local Audio These CAM Expressions will activate and control the local speaker
Outputs - output. The local speaker output is a 1W (max) unsupervised audio
circuit on TB4-1 (-) and TB4-2 (+) on the INCC that is typically used for
diagnostic purposes or to provide voice instructions to the system's
operator. The following CAM Expressions affect the Local Speaker
Output:
Recorded
Messages - These CAMs will trigger the activation of one or more of this node's
pre-recorded audio messages, of which there are sixteen. Each
message has a built-in priority to provide for cases where multiple
messages are triggered simultaneously for the same output. Message
#1 has the highest priority level and Message #16 has the lowest
priority level. Therefore, if Message #1 and Message #2 are assigned
to the same output at the same time Message #1 will override
Message #2.

The CAMs on this screen will prevent this node from being reset. There are three bits, a
Fire Reset Inhibit Bit, an MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and and Enable Reset Inhibit. Both the Fire
Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit bit must be TRUE in order to prevent a fire
reset from affecting this node. Both the MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit
bit must be TRUE in order to prevent an MNS reset from affecting this node.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Counters 686 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 689 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 692 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
9.2.9.1 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will

node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
9.2.9.2 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
9.2.9.3 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Scratchpads. To configure a
timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the appropriate Scratchpad from
the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer information will be displayed in the CAM entry
screen for the selected group. This delay will apply when the output group or scratchpad is
activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds.
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
CAMWorks will automatically convert the audio messages to the correct format prior to
downloading if it determines that a WAV file does not conform to the requirements.
This screen is used to link one or more audio messages to a node in the project. Once
linked, audio messages may be downloaded to the target node using the Download screen.
Like most screens in CAMWorks, this screen is composed primarily of a grid interface. This
grid has sixteen entries, one for each possible message. The grid contains the following
columns:
Sel - Used to remove a message. Place a check mark in this field and click "Remove" to
remove a message.
Message # - The message number is displayed for reference only. It cannot be changed.
Wave File - This field displays the name of an audio file linked to this message. If the file
name is highlighted in red, the selected file is not a valid audio file. If the file name is
highlighted in blue, the selected file must be converted to the correct format that is
acceptable to the system. CAMWorks will automatically perform the conversion when
saving the changes made on this screen.
Description - Up to fifty-five (55) characters may be used to describe the message. This
information is for user reference only and will be printed in the Audio Messages report.
Browse - There are two methods of adding audio messages. The first is by clicking on the
"..." button in the Browse field. Doing so will open a standard "Open" window for browsing
and selecting a message. Both standard Windows WAV files and SON files, created with
the "Gamewell-FCI Audio Converter" (provided with previous versions of CAMWorks and as
a part of the Audio & Utilities Library) may be chosen.
Below the grid are controls that assist in the manipulation of the audio message. On the left
is a "Select All" checkbox. Clicking this box will place a check in the "Sel" field in the grid for
each message. The "Remove" button may be used to remove selected messages from the
project. Clicking "Open Explorer" will open a Windows Explorer window. From the Windows
Explorer window, the user can use drag & drop techniques to add multiple .WAV or .SON
files to the project. Finally, the up and down arrow buttons are used to move the position of
an audio message to a different slot (if available).
NOTE: The Drag & Drop feature is unavailable on Windows 7 64-bit systems.
NOTE: In order to use the up and down arrow buttons, the desired audio message must
be highlighted. To do so, click the mouse in the "Wave File" field of the desired message
and then use the up and down arrow buttons. The up and down arrow buttons do not
work if any other field in the grid is selected, nor does it work with audio messages that
have a check mark in the check mark column.
Below is an information area. In this pane appears information about the selected message
(the number of channels, 1 being for mono and 2 being for stereo), the sampling rate (in
samples per second), and the sample resolution (in bits per sample). To the right is a
Microsoft Windows Media Player plug-in, which allows the user to preview selected
messages (Windows WAV files only. Windows Media Player cannot play .SON files).
Finally, at the bottom of the screen are two buttons. These are:
Save - Saves any changes that have been made, if any.
Close - Closes the window, prompting to save any changes that have been made, if any.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference

The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.

The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Counters 722 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 725 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 728 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
10.2.10.1 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each

10.2.10.2 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
10.2.10.3 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Scratchpads. To configure a
timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the appropriate Scratchpad from
the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer information will be displayed in the CAM entry
screen for the selected group. This delay will apply when the output group or scratchpad is
activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds.
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
CAMWorks will automatically convert the audio messages to the correct format prior to
downloading if it determines that a WAV file does not conform to the requirements.
This screen is used to link one or more audio messages to a node in the project. Once
linked, audio messages may be downloaded to the target node using the Download screen.
Like most screens in CAMWorks, this screen is composed primarily of a grid interface. This
grid has sixteen entries, one for each possible message. The grid contains the following
columns:
Sel - Used to remove a message. Place a check mark in this field and click "Remove" to
remove a message.
Message # - The message number is displayed for reference only. It cannot be changed.
Wave File - This field displays the name of an audio file linked to this message. If the file
name is highlighted in red, the selected file is not a valid audio file. If the file name is
highlighted in blue, the selected file must be converted to the correct format that is
acceptable to the system. CAMWorks will automatically perform the conversion when
saving the changes made on this screen.
Description - Up to fifty-five (55) characters may be used to describe the message. This
information is for user reference only and will be printed in the Audio Messages report.
Browse - There are two methods of adding audio messages. The first is by clicking on the
"..." button in the Browse field. Doing so will open a standard "Open" window for browsing
and selecting a message. Both standard Windows WAV files and SON files, created with
the "Gamewell-FCI Audio Converter" (provided with previous versions of CAMWorks and as
a part of the Audio & Utilities Library) may be chosen.
Below the grid are controls that assist in the manipulation of the audio message. On the left
is a "Select All" checkbox. Clicking this box will place a check in the "Sel" field in the grid for
each message. The "Remove" button may be used to remove selected messages from the
project. Clicking "Open Explorer" will open a Windows Explorer window. From the Windows
Explorer window, the user can use drag & drop techniques to add multiple .WAV or .SON
files to the project. Finally, the up and down arrow buttons are used to move the position of
an audio message to a different slot (if available).
NOTE: The Drag & Drop feature is unavailable on Windows 7 64-bit systems.
NOTE: In order to use the up and down arrow buttons, the desired audio message must
be highlighted. To do so, click the mouse in the "Wave File" field of the desired message
and then use the up and down arrow buttons. The up and down arrow buttons do not
work if any other field in the grid is selected, nor does it work with audio messages that
have a check mark in the check mark column.
Below is an information area. In this pane appears information about the selected message
(the number of channels, 1 being for mono and 2 being for stereo), the sampling rate (in
samples per second), and the sample resolution (in bits per sample). To the right is a
Microsoft Windows Media Player plug-in, which allows the user to preview selected
messages (Windows WAV files only. Windows Media Player cannot play .SON files).
Finally, at the bottom of the screen are two buttons. These are:
Save - Saves any changes that have been made, if any.
Close - Closes the window, prompting to save any changes that have been made, if any.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

11.1 What is the INI-VGE?
The INI-VGE is an Intelligent Network Transponder that serves as a command center as
well as an audio control system. The INI-VGE is comprised of the following components:
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The following settings may be selected for each module through this screen:
Board # - This field simply indicates which module will be affected by these settings. This
field cannot be changed.
Board Type - Select a board type to indicate that a board should be assigned to this
address or select "None", if no board should be assigned to this address.
Lamp Test - When enabled, pressing Switch 1 on the module will turn ON all of the
module's LED's, overriding their normal operation. A second press of Switch 1 will return the
LED's to their normal operation.
For each ASM-16 and ANU-48 defined, the user can customize the switch type and enter a
label for each switch available. These are for programming convenience only, and are not
downloaded to the system. These should be programmed to use for reference when defining
CAMs. These types will appear in the INI-VGE Node list at the bottom of the CAM entry
screens.
NOTE: You are not restricted to using the predefined switch types. You may type any text
in that field that you would like to create custom switch types.

The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.

Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
AOM Telephone These CAMs will activate the AOM Telephone (AOM-TELF) modules
- on this node (via the Module Control bit). These modules are used to
provide a connection between a firefighter telephone jack or warden
station and a firefighter telephone riser.
AOM-MUXF - These CAMs will activate the AOM-MUXF modules (via the Module
Control bit) and toggle between which audio source (via the Input
Select bit) is connected to the output of these modules. Input A is
connected to the output if the Input Select CAM Expression is false.
AOM-2SF - These CAMs will activate the AOM-2SF modules (via the Module
Control bit). These modules are used to provide a single-channel
speaker circuit.
These CAMs will activate the MMO-6SF modules (via the Module
Control bit). These modules are used to provide six single-channel
speaker circuits.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
NOTE: In order for the following settings to take effect, the INI-VGC, INI-VGX or INI-VGE
must be running V2.2-001 or later of the System Operating Software.
The CAMs on this screen will prevent this node from being reset. There are three bits, a
Fire Reset Inhibit Bit, an MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and and Enable Reset Inhibit. Both the Fire
Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit bit must be TRUE in order to prevent a fire
reset from affecting this node. Both the MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit
bit must be TRUE in order to prevent an MNS reset from affecting this node.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Counters 757 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 759 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 763 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
11.2.10.1 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
11.2.10.2 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
11.2.10.3 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Scratchpads. To configure a
timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the appropriate Scratchpad from
the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer information will be displayed in the CAM entry
screen for the selected group. This delay will apply when the output group or scratchpad is
activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds.
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
length, but the total combined message length cannot exceed 180 seconds (three minutes).
Each audio message must have a sampling rate of 8000 Hz and a sample size (resolution)
of 16 bits. All audio files must also be mono only.
CAMWorks will automatically convert the audio messages to the correct format prior to
downloading if it determines that a WAV file does not conform to the requirements.
This screen is used to link one or more audio messages to a node in the project. Once
linked, audio messages may be downloaded to the target node using the Download screen.
Like most screens in CAMWorks, this screen is composed primarily of a grid interface. This
grid has sixteen entries, one for each possible message. The grid contains the following
columns:
Sel - Used to remove a message. Place a check mark in this field and click "Remove" to
remove a message.
Message # - The message number is displayed for reference only. It cannot be changed.
Wave File - This field displays the name of an audio file linked to this message. If the file
name is highlighted in red, the selected file is not a valid audio file. If the file name is
highlighted in blue, the selected file must be converted to the correct format that is
acceptable to the system. CAMWorks will automatically perform the conversion when
saving the changes made on this screen.
Description - Up to fifty-five (55) characters may be used to describe the message. This
information is for user reference only and will be printed in the Audio Messages report.
Browse - There are two methods of adding audio messages. The first is by clicking on the
"..." button in the Browse field. Doing so will open a standard "Open" window for browsing
and selecting a message. Both standard Windows WAV files and SON files, created with
the "Gamewell-FCI Audio Converter" (provided with previous versions of CAMWorks and as
a part of the Audio & Utilities Library) may be chosen.
Below the grid are controls that assist in the manipulation of the audio message. On the left
is a "Select All" checkbox. Clicking this box will place a check in the "Sel" field in the grid for
each message. The "Remove" button may be used to remove selected messages from the
project. Clicking "Open Explorer" will open a Windows Explorer window. From the Windows
Explorer window, the user can use drag & drop techniques to add multiple .WAV or .SON
files to the project. Finally, the up and down arrow buttons are used to move the position of
an audio message to a different slot (if available).
NOTE: The Drag & Drop feature is unavailable on Windows 7 64-bit systems.
NOTE: In order to use the up and down arrow buttons, the desired audio message must
be highlighted. To do so, click the mouse in the "Wave File" field of the desired message
and then use the up and down arrow buttons. The up and down arrow buttons do not
work if any other field in the grid is selected, nor does it work with audio messages that
have a check mark in the check mark column.
Below is an information area. In this pane appears information about the selected message
(the number of channels, 1 being for mono and 2 being for stereo), the sampling rate (in
samples per second), and the sample resolution (in bits per sample). To the right is a
Microsoft Windows Media Player plug-in, which allows the user to preview selected
messages (Windows WAV files only. Windows Media Player cannot play .SON files).
Finally, at the bottom of the screen are two buttons. These are:
Save - Saves any changes that have been made, if any.
Close - Closes the window, prompting to save any changes that have been made, if any.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

NGA 767
12 NGA
12.1 What is the NGA?
The NGA is a network based annunciator that uses an LCD touchscreen for user interaction.
It occupies one node on the network. It displays the state the of the system, and allows
access to various system functions including:
Allow Silencing From This NGA - If this option is enabled, the NGA
can silence NAC circuits and other outputs that are configured as
silenceable. This setting will affect bit 400 in the NGA's System Status
Map as well as the Region Silence Request bit in the Node 0 "virtual
node".
disabled, the NGA will not print test messages and the RS-232 Printer
Supervision Test Interval field will also be disabled. This option will be
automatically turned on by enabling the Proprietary Supervising
Station mode, and cannot be disabled until the Proprietary Supervising
Station mode is disabled.
Fast CAM Timers - When enabled, the CAM timers have a resolution
of one-half second. When disabled, CAM timers have a one-second
resolution.
Inhibit Reset & Silence Following First Alarm - When enabled, the
system may not be silenced or reset for sixty seconds following an
initial alarm.
RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second)
used by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections
range from 115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
NGA Power Supply Supervision - The NGA has the ability to detect
whether another node in the network experiences an AC power failure
and transfers to battery power. Once an AC Fault has been detected,
the NGA will turn off the LCD backlight to conserve battery power
unless the system is in Alarm. If an Alarm occurs after an AC Fault,
the NGA will activate the backlight. This setting allows NGA to select
which node to monitor for AC Fault conditions. Only node types that
Enable NGA Display Lock - When enabled, the NGA will require the
user to enter the Level 2 password to enable the touch screen. This
option is intended for use in applications where the NGA is installed in
a flush-mount cabinet.
When this setting is enabled on the NGA, the report is also displayed
on the screen. It will remain on-screen for fifteen seconds, unless the
user interacts with it by scrolling through the events. The user may
manually close the report by pressing "CLOSE" which goes back to
the previous screen or "CONTINUE" to go to the selected menu. The
button is labeled "CONTINUE" only in the case where the user
requested access to a menu screen and the report was displayed
before the desired menu could be displayed.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
CAM Description - The message number uniquely identifies a CAM Text message. This
number cannot be changed.
CAM Expression - Enter the CAM logic expression that will trigger the display of this
message.
CAM Text Message - The actual text message may be entered in this field. A maximum of
79 characters may be entered (including spaces).
NOTE: The NGA wraps the text by character not by word. For this reason, it is important
to test the appearance of the CAM Text messages before system commissioning.
Font - Each text message may be configured to be displayed in one of the following fonts:
Event Type - Selects the type of event that the NGA will issue to the other nodes in the
NGA's region (and nodes with Global Reporting ON) when this text message is triggered.
This will activate the appropriate system response including activating panel buzzers and
illuminating the LED's. The full 80 characters of the message will be printed through the
NGA's local serial port. The first forty characters of this message will be stored in the NGA's
history log and transmitted to other S3 Series, ILI-E3 Series, ILI95-E3 Series and NGA
nodes in the network.Available event types include:

NOTE: All event types, except for CAM Text and FAULT, require NGA Firmware V3.00 or
later.
NOTE: 7100 nodes may not properly display NGA CAM Text events.
Font Color - Each text message may be configured to be displayed in one of the following
colors:
Black
Purple
Blue
Green
Brown

Orange
Red
NOTE: The following options require NGA firmware version 3.00 or later in order to
work.
Latching - When enabled, the CAM Text message (and its associated event) remain active,
even when its associated SSM bit goes FALSE. The message will only be restored upon
reset.
MNS Message - When enabled, the CAM Text message will be treated as an MNS CAM
Text message and will be displayed under the MNS message tab. This option must be
enabled if the selected event type is MNS Alarm, MNS Trouble or MNS Supervisory. MNS
messages configured to be latching (see above) will only be reset upon an MNS reset.
Finally, the System Status window on the NGA will display "ACU In Control" instead of
"System Status" when there are one or more active MNS CAM Text messages, MNS
Alarms, MNS Troubles or MNS Supervisories, unless an LOC has been granted control (see
below). When disabled, the CAM Text message will be treated as a fire CAM Text message
and will be displayed under the Fire message tab. Fire messages configured to be latching
(see above) will only be reset upon a Fire reset.
LOC Message - Enable this option only when this message is an "LOC In Control"
message. The MNS Message option (see above) must also be enabled when this option is
enabled. When enabled, the activation of this message will cause the title bar of the NGA's
System Status screen will read "LOC In Control" instead of "ACU In Control".
NOTE: In order for each NGA to display "LOC In Control" in the title bar, each NGA
must locally activate an "LOC In Control" message locally, otherwise it would
erroneously display "ACU In Control".
DACT Report Code - When using custom DACT reporting codes 574 , the code entered in
this field will be reported by the DACT-E3 when using Contact ID or SIA formats. This may
range from 1-899. The node number will be transmitted in addition to this information.
NOTE: The DACT-E3 will only report the activation of a CAM Text message if its
associated event type is NOT set for "CAM Text", and only if the node that the DACT-E3
is connected to is in the same region as the NGA (or has Global Reporting enabled) and
is configured to report the specified category of event (Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory) to a
given central station account. See DACT Settings 471 for more information about
configuring the DACT-E3.
Close - Closes the screen and prompts to save the changes made, if any.
Save - Save the changes made.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
NOTE: In a multi-ring system, only the ANX-MR's System Status Maps are visible to all
nodes on all rings. System Status Map information that must be conveyed from one ring
to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
The CAMs in this screen will turn on or off the Scratchpads associated with this node.
Scratchpads can be referred to in other CAM expressions and are extremely useful in
reducing the complexity of other CAM expressions.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Schedule 779 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 782 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
Sequence 785 - Activate several outputs in succession.
Timers 789 - Delay the activation of output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
12.2.4.1 Schedule
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
c. Monthly – A Monthly schedule is used when it is desired to activate certain outputs on a
certain day of the month. Option buttons are provided for the month. Unlike the
Weekly schedule, the user may only select one month or every month. A date
selection is also provided, allowing the user to select which day of the month to run the
schedule. An option is available to run the schedule every day of the selected month.
Like a Daily schedule, the Monthly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
NOTE: If you choose the 29th then there will be no schedule activation for
February except on a leap year. If you choose the 30th then there will be no
schedule activation for February at all. If you choose the 31st then all months with
less than 31 days will not have a schedule activation.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
12.2.4.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
12.2.4.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.

Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
12.2.4.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.

ANX 797
13 ANX
13.1 What is the ANX?
The ANX (Addressable Node Expander) is a network interface sub-assembly component of
the Gamewell-FCI E3 Series® fire alarm control panel. There are three types of ANX
sub-assemblies:
Each of the three ANX sub-assemblies provides Ethernet connectivity via a 10/100Mbps
Ethernet port using the Micro Internet Protocol (uIP™) firmware module (see below). The
Ethernet port offers an enhanced interface between the E3 Series fire alarm control panel
and the FocalPoint® Graphic Workstation that allows improved communication to monitor
the alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions on the FocalPoint Graphic Workstation. The
Ethernet port also provides enhanced configuration data exchange between the E3 Series
network and the PC.
Both the ANX Multi-Ring-Fiber-Optic and Twisted Pair sub-assemblies have the capacity to
expand the E3 Series network from 64 nodes to a maximum of 122 nodes. The
ANX-MR-UTP allows twisted-pair copper interconnections only. The ANX-MR-FO adds Fiber
Optic connectivity.

This entry screen contains various system options that pertain to this ANX-MR or ANX-SR
node. The entry fields are grouped as follows:
General Settings -
RS-232 Baud Rate - Sets the baud rate (measured in bits per second)
used by this node to communicate with serial devices. Selections range
from 115,200 BPS down to 1,200 BPS.
Fast CAM Timers - When enabled, the CAM timers have a resolution of
one-half second. When disabled, CAM timers have a one-second
resolution.
Enable Supervision of RS-232 Port For Use With - This setting should be
set according to what type of device is normally connected to the node's
serial port. This setting should be set to "Printer" if a printer is connected to
this node's serial port and trouble reporting for printer out of paper or printer
offline conditions is desirable.
Ring Label - Enter a descriptive label that identifies this ring. This label
may be up to nineteen (19) characters in length. This label is not
Ring Select DIP Switch Position - This setting, along with the Ring Select
(SW2) DIP switches on the ANX-MR board, is used to configure the ANX-
MR's ring assignments. In other words, these settings set which ring is
connected to which physical ARCNET interface on the ANX-MR board
(ARC0 and ARC1). The "Ring Select DIP Switch Position" setting is set by
default so that ARC0 is configured as Ring 1 and ARC1 is configured as
Ring 2.
NOTE: The "Ring Select DIP Switch Position" setting must be set
correctly, and must match the setting of the physical DIP switch (SW2) on
the ANX-MR board, to ensure proper network supervision by the ANX-
MR.
Delays/TimeOut -
Silence Inhibit Delay - This setting will prevent the system from being
silenced after an alarm. This setting may range from No delay to
twenty-one (21) minutes (in two (2) minute increments).
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
Virtual Switches are a feature of the ANX that allows the Gamewell-FCI FocalPoint
Workstation to control any system function that may be presently controlled by an ASM-16
or ANU-48 switch. Each Virtual Switch has a control bit in the ANX's System Status Map
associated with it. Upon command from the FocalPoint Workstation, the ANX will set the
appropriate bit to TRUE or FALSE. From there, the user must refer to the Virtual Switch's
bit in CAMs to link the Virtual Switch to actual system functions.
This screen is where the user sets up the following options relating to each of the ANX's 512
Virtual Switches:
Switch Number - This field shows the System Status Map (bitmap) bit location associated
with each switch. This field cannot be edited.
Used - Indicates which of the ANX-MR's two System Status Maps (bitmaps) the switch
affects. Switches that are assigned to Ring 1 affect Node 63's bitmap, while switches
assigned to Ring 2 affect Node 126's bitmap. This field is not editable.
NOTE: This field does not exist on ANX-SR nodes.
On/Off - Enables or disables this switch. When the switch is disabled (or set as a "Status"
switch), the System Status Map bit associated with this switch may be used as a scratchpad
instead.
Switch Type - This option sets the function that the switch performs. All switches are
defaulted to the "Control" option. When configured for this function, the switch will toggle its
associated Bit Number and can be used in CAM expressions. The switches may be
configured as a "Status" switch instead of "Control." "Status" switches are used only if the
user requires the FocalPoint Workstation to display a status indicator in response to the
TRUE evaluation of CAM expression. Note that if the switch is configured as a "Status"
switch, the System Status Map bit associated with the switch may be used as a scratchpad
instead.
Latching - The switch may be configured for latching operation when the switch type is
configured as a control switch. When selected, the current switch state (ON or OFF) will
persist through reset.
Momentary - When the switch type is configured as a control switch, the switch can be
configured as a momentary switch by placing a check mark in this field. When enabled, a
switch press will cause the associated SSM bit location to go true once and then false again.
NOTE: A switch may not be configured for both momentary and latching operation at the
same time.
Switch Label - Up to forty characters may be used to describe this switch and its function.
These are downloaded to the system and are displayed by the FocalPoint Workstation.
MNS Switch - Enable this option if this virtual switch performs an MNS function, otherwise
leave it disabled. When enabled, the virtual switch will be reset by an MNS reset instead of
a fire reset.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

to another must be manually CAMmed using the ANX-MR's Scratchpads. See the page
titled "Multi-Ring CAM Special Considerations 22 " for more information.
The CAM 21 entry screen occurs in many places throughout CAMWorks. These entry
screens differ only in the type of SSM output group that is associated with the CAM 21 logic
expression. For instance, the CAMs 21 for the 7100 are associated with 7100 output groups
125-224. On the INCC, they might be associated with LEDs. Whatever the SSM group, the
configuration process is the same. The following is a description of controls and entry fields
in the CAM 21 entry screens.
Like many other screens, this screen shows a grid. Above the grid are option buttons that
allow the user to select which type of CAM 21 instructions will be displayed. Once an option
button is selected, the grid will automatically be updated to show the desired CAMs 21 . Just
above the grid is a "Find CAM 21 Expression" function. A partial CAM 21 expression may be
entered in this field and CAMWorks will display all CAMs 21 in the current screen that
contain the partial CAM 21 expression when the "Search" button is clicked. The "Clear"
button may be used to restore the display to normal. The fields that are available in this grid
differ depending on which types of CAMs 21 are being entered, but most have fields similar
to the following:
CAM Description - This field indicates which function is affected by the CAM 21 expression
in this row. This field cannot be edited.
CAM Expression - The CAM 21 expression that will activate this output or resource. This
field may be edited.
CAM Comment - A user written comment used to describe this CAM 21 . This field may be
edited.
Group # - The SSM bit location that will be affected by the CAM 21 expression in this row.
This field cannot be edited.
Timer # - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer number will appear in this
field. This field cannot be edited.
Time (Sec) - If a timer has been assigned to this location, the timer's duration will appear in
this field. This field cannot be edited.
Below the grid are two large text entry fields. These are CAM 21 Expression and CAM 21
Comment. Both of these fields function exactly like their counterparts in previous versions
of CAMWorks and may be used in addition to the grid to enter and edit CAM 21 expressions
and/or CAM 21 comments.
Click on the Save button or press then Enter key when the CAM 21 entry has been
completed. You will notice when the CAM 21 is saved, the logic operators are converted to
shorthand to save space. The logic shorthand operators are "&" = AND, "|" = OR, "^" = XOR,
and "~" = NOT.
NOTE: The Enter key will save the CAM Expression only if the large text entry field is
being used to write the CAM Expression.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Output Group -> Output Devices". Below is a brief explanation of
each information tab.
NOTE: The "Output Group -> Output Devices" tab is called "Linked SLC Output Devices"
on INI-7100 nodes.
NOTE: The third tab is only shown in the CAM screen for Output Groups.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description

Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Output Group -> Output Devices (ILI-E3 Series and ILI95-E3 Series) or Linked SLC
Output Devices (INI-7100 Only)- This tab shows all SLC output devices that are signed to
the current output group.
NOTE: In order for the following settings to take effect, the ANX must be running
V1.20.001 or later of the System Operating Software.
The CAMs on this screen will prevent this node from being reset. There are three bits, a
Fire Reset Inhibit Bit, an MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and and Enable Reset Inhibit. Both the Fire
Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit bit must be TRUE in order to prevent a fire
reset from affecting this node. Both the MNS Reset Inhibit Bit and the Enable Reset Inhibit
bit must be TRUE in order to prevent an MNS reset from affecting this node.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
The CAM Special Functions screen incorporates several advanced functions that can be
useful for certain applications. Specifically, these functions are:
[****]
Schedule 816 - Configure certain output devices to activate according to a specific schedule.
Counters 819 - Activate outputs after a certain number of specific events occur.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
13.2.6.1 Schedule
There are 10 schedules available per node for automatically activating Output Groups and
Scratchpads according to a fixed schedule. Three types of schedules are available. These
are:
The process of configuring a schedule is the same regardless of the type of schedule being
used, with a few exceptions. Below is the procedure for configuring a schedule:
1. In the grid, select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection
of groups will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the
node's scratchpad locations.
2. In the "Information" pane at the bottom of the screen select the "Schedule Details" tab, if it
isn't already selected.
3. Select one of the following schedule types:
a. Daily – When a Daily schedule is desired, the user must supply the time of day that
should be used for the schedule. This is done through the Hours/Minutes drop-down
lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every hour
and/or every minute.
b. Weekly – When a Weekly schedule is desired, the user must select which days of the
week that the schedule should run. Selection boxes are provided for each day of the
week and any or all days may be selected by placing a check in the appropriate box.
Like a Daily schedule, the Weekly schedule also requires that a time of day must be
selected for when the schedule is to be run. This is done through the Hours/Minutes
drop-down lists. An “Every” selection allows the CAM Schedule to activate either every
hour and/or every minute.
4. Disable Schedule CAM Expression - If there are any circumstances where it would be
desirable to NOT run an automatic schedule, this CAM expression should be entered.
The TRUE evaluation of this CAM expression will prevent the schedule from running.
NOTE: Disable Schedule CAM Expression feature is not available on the 7100.
5. Description - A description may be added to indicate what the schedule will be used for.
This information is used for reference only and is not downloaded to the panel.
NOTE: The CAM Schedule will be true for exactly one minute if the user specifies a
specific minute within the selected hour.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Schedule Details", the second is "Node
Devices", the third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is
a brief explanation of each information tab.
Schedule Details - This tab allows the user to view or set the scheduling information for the
selected schedule. See above for more information on how the schedule is configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Option Description
Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
13.2.6.2 Counters
There are 10 counters available per node for activating outputs after an input triggers the
counter a specified number of times.
1. In the grid, choose how many times the counter must be run by selecting a value in the
"Count" field.
2. Select the Group that will be triggered by the scheduler. The allowed selection of groups
will vary based on the current node type, but will always at least include the node's
scratchpad locations.
3. A Define Counter CAM Expression may be written. If present, this CAM expression will
determine under what condition the counter will be reset. If this CAM is blank, the counter
will operate as a one-shot (meaning that a reset is required in order to trigger the counter
again after it has activated its output.)
4. Select a "Working Bit". This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the counter function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
5. Counter Trigger CAM Expression. This CAM Expression describes what condition will
cause the counter to be incremented.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
three tabs of information. The first is called "Node Devices", the second is "Reference
Search" and the third is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief explanation of each
information tab.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
13.2.6.3 Sequence
There are 10 sequences available per node for activating multiple Output Groups or
Scratchpads in a sequence. There are two types of sequences. The table below explains
the differences between the two.
The process of configuring a sequence is the same regardless of the type of sequence
being used. Below is the procedure for configuring a sequence:
1. Select a "Working Bit" - This is a bit that is used internally by the CAM engine to perform
the sequence function. This bit must not be used by any other function.
2. Select the number of outputs - The sequencer must know how many outputs are going to
be affected by the scheduler.This may range from 2 to 12.
3. Type of Sequence - Select either a Bar Graph sequence or a Shift sequence. See above
for an explanation of the two types of sequence.
4. CAM Sequence Reinitialize - A CAM Expression must be written for the sequence to be
enabled to run the first time (or be reset so that it may be run again once it has already
run through).
5. Sequence Triggering CAM - This CAM Expression describes what condition will cause the
next output in the sequence to be activated.
6. At the bottom of the screen, select the "Output List" tab.
7. Select the desired output groups and/or scratchpads that should be added to the
sequence. These should be selected in the desired order of activation. Outputs may be
added to the sequence by selecting a group from the list box on the left and clicking the
right arrow button. Outputs may be removed from the sequence by selecting the group in
the list in the list box on the right and clicking on the left arrow button.
At the bottom of the CAM window is an information area. This information area contains
four tabs of information. The first is called "Output List", the second is "Node Devices", the
third is "Reference Search" and the fourth is "Used/Unused Groups". Below is a brief
explanation of each information tab.
Output List - This tab allows the user to select the output groups/scratchpads that will be
activated by this sequence. See above for more information on how the sequence is
configured.
Node Devices - This tab shows allows the user to look up useful information from any node
in the system. The types of information that can be displayed are as follows:
Option Description

Description Search - This tab shows the user to display all SLC input devices on a selected
(or all) nodes that match either a full or partial description. A partial description may be
entered through the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character.
Used / Unused Groups - This tab shows a grid that displays all of the output groups on this
node. A group number is colored red if it has been assigned to one or more output devices
and green if the output group has not been assigned to any output devices.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.
13.2.6.4 Timers
There are 10 timers available per node for creating delays for Output Groups and
Scratchpads. To configure a timer, set the desired timer interval in seconds, and select the
appropriate Output Group or Scratchpad from the Group drop-down list. If set, the timer
information will be displayed in the CAM entry screen for the selected group. This delay will
apply when the output group or scratchpad is activated through the CAM logic expression.
The options for the timers are displayed in a table format. Each option is described below.
Timer - This is a read-only display that shows the timer number (1-10).
Time (Seconds) - This sets the delay time for this timer. The delay time is entered in
seconds. This may range from 1 to 3600 seconds .
Group - Select the Output Group or Scratchpad that you would like to delay.
Resettable Timer - This option allows you to choose between standard and resettable
timers. If set to No, the timer will be a standard timer. Standard timers will only trigger
once. In order to be triggered again, the system will need to be reset. If this setting is
changed to Yes, the timer can be triggered multiple times. In order to be triggered again,
the timer will have time out and the CAM expression assigned to the output group or
scratchpad will need to transition from false to true again.
Free/Used - If this timer has been configured and assigned to an Output Group or
Scratchpad, this will read Used, otherwise it will read Free.
NOTE: If a Timer is used by Advanced CAM Programming, this field will read Used, even
if it doesn't appear to have any other configuration information assigned.
NOTE: It is advisable to manually save the changes in this screen before closing this
screen or navigating to another screen.

14 Utilities
14.1 Network Query
Network Query is a diagnostic tool for E3 Series and NetSOLO Series networks (including
standard 7100 Panel Networks). This tool will scan either an entire network or only specific
nodes that you specify and generate a report that contains information such as:
· The node type: SLP-E3 (S3 Series (System Sensor)), SLP95-E3 (S3 Series (Apollo)),
INI-7100, INCC, INX, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3, ILI95-S-E3, ANX-SR, ANX-
MR or NGA.
· The firmware version.
· The node number.
· The number of times the node has caused a reconfiguration of the network (only
certain firmware versions support this feature.)
Gamewell-FCI's Technical Support 932 personnel may ask you to run this tool to help
diagnose network communication or download problems.
The new Network Query tool, included with CAMWorks includes some new functionality that
was not present in earlier Network Query tools. Chief among these new capabilities is
Network Query's new split-screen display. Network Query can now display two different
Query reports side-by-side, allowing for easy comparison. Differences between the two
reports are highlighted. New Query reports are displayed on the right side of the window
and previously saved Query reports are shown on the left.
NOTE: The Network Query tool is not available when an S3 Series Standalone, E3 Series
Standalone or 7100 Standalone project is open.
2.) Select whether to communicate with the system via RS-232 (Comm) or TCP/IP
(Ethernet).
3.) If the user has selected to use RS-232 (Comm) for use with Network Query, the COM
port that is being used to connect to the system must be selected. An auto-detection feature
is available to allow Network Query to automatically determine the correct serial port. If the
user has selected to use TCP/IP (Ethernet) for use with Network Query, the IP address of
an ANX node must be provided. The IP address must be entered in the typical A.B.C.D
format.
4.) If the user has selected to use RS-232 (Comm) for use with Network Query, the user
must select the type of node that the PC's serial port is connected to. This can be either an
INI-7100, E3 Series, ANX-SR, ANX-MR or NGA node. An auto-detection feature is available
to allow Network Query to automatically determine the correct setting. If the user has
selected to use TCP/IP (Ethernet) for use with Network Query, this setting is automatically
defaulted to ANX.
NOTE: In an E3 Series Multi-ring Network system, you must connect to the ANX-MR in
order to use Network Query. Either RS-232 (Comm) or TCP/IP (Ethernet) may be used.
8.) A progress bar at the bottom of the CAMWorks screen will indicate the progress of the
Query operation.
9.) A Query report similar to the following will appear in the right side of screen.
10.) If desired, the Query report may be saved to the left side of the screen so that it may be
compared against a future Query report. To do so, click on the Save button. When clicked,
the Clear button on the left side of the toolbar will clear out the saved Query report.
11.) If desired, the Query report may be printed by selecting Print 34 from the File 31 tab in
The Ribbon 27 , or saved to the computer's hard disk or a removable drive by using the
Export command on the toolbar.
14.2 OTS-E3
OTS-E3, or On-Line Telecommunication Support Program, is a feature of CAMWorks that is
reminiscent of the OTS program that was available for the 7200 Series FACP.
Specifically, OTS-E3 is intended to be a diagnostic and support program for S3 Series and
E3 Series FACP's. This window, which resembles a terminal emulator window, allows
convenient access to several useful terminal commands that are supported by the E3
Series. Note that since OTS-E3 relies completely on terminal commands, the PC running
OTS-E3 must be connected to the desired S3 Series or E3 Series node as most terminal
commands will only affect the local node that the PC is connected directly to.
The OTS-E3 screen is laid out very similarly to the classic OTS-7200 program. The main
screen elements are:
· Menu Bar 832 - The OTS-E3 menu bar contains commands that may be used with OTS-E3
· Toolbar 839 - Provides quick access to commonly used functions of OTS-E3.
File 832
Connect 833
Commands 834
Opens a new OTS-E3 session. A standard "browse for file" window will appear to allow the
selection of the saved session file.
14.2.1.1.3 Save
14.2.1.1.4 Save As
Prompts the user to select a new location to save a copy of the current OTS-E3 session.
Once the user selects Save Project As, a standard Windows "browse for file" window will
appear to allow for a selection of the new file name and the location to save the copy of the
project.
14.2.1.1.5 Print
The Print function allows the user to print a hard-copy of the current OTS-E3 session.
The Print Preview function allows the user to preview the appearance of the current OTS-E3
session as it would be printed.
Paper Size - Select from one of the the standard paper sizes in the list.
Paper Source - Select the paper tray that will be used as the source of paper. This varies
from printer to printer.
14.2.1.1.8 Exit
Connect 833
Disconnect 833
14.2.1.2.1 Connect
14.2.1.2.2 Disconnect
If OTS-E3 is currently connected to an E3 Series node, selecting Disconnect will close the
serial port.
The Commands Menu of OTS-E3 provides access to commonly used commands that are
issued to the ILI-E3 Series node that OTS-E3 is connected to. Note that these commands
are considered terminal commands and only apply to the node that OTS-E3 is directly
connected to.
The commands include:
The Read Sensitivity command is used to report a sensor’s current sensitivity and settings, if
available. When selected, OTS-E3 opens up a small dialog box that prompts for the
following information:
NOTE: Contact Gamewell-FCI Technical Support 932 for assistance in using this
command.
View Device is used to obtain certain configuration information from SLC devices on the
connected node. When this command is chosen, OTS-E3 opens up a small dialog box that
prompts for the following information:
Address - Enter the address of the device to read. This may range from 0-99 in CLIP
protocol, 0-159 in Velociti/SmartScan protocol or 0-126 in Apollo XP-95 protocol.
NOTE: Contact Gamewell-FCI Technical Support 932 for assistance in using this
command.
Monitor Device allows the user to obtain the analog/addressable "answerbacks" from SLC
devices. When selected, OTS-E3 opens up a small dialog box that prompts for the following
information:
Monitor ON - If device monitoring is off, selecting Monitor ON will enable SLC device
answerback logging. When Monitor ON is selected, the following information is required to
specify which device to monitor.
Loop - Select whether the device is connected to SLC 1 or SLC 2.
Device Type - Select Sensor or Module.
NOTE: Use only the Sensor option on ILI95-MB-E3 and ILI95-S-E3 nodes.
Address - Enter the address of the device to read. This may range from 0-99 in CLIP
protocol, 0-159 in Velociti/SmartScan protocol or 0-126 in Apollo XP-95 protocol.
Monitor OFF - If device monitoring is on, selecting Monitor OFF will disable SLC device
answerback logging.
Each node in the system contains a network map that keeps track of all of the nodes that
are expected to be in the system. This information is configured by CAMWorks directly
based upon the nodes that have been defined in the CAMWorks project.
Once a node is configured with a valid network map, it will supervise the network. If it
detects a loss of communication with a node that it expects to be on the network it will issue
a "Node Missing" trouble condition.
The Network Update command will cause the connected node to configure it's network map
based on the current state of the network. This should be used only on a troubleshooting
basis. The official network map should be configured through the Node Summary screen
and downloaded to each node.
14.2.1.3.5 Autoconfig
Autoconfig allows the user to perform an automatic configuration of the connected node.
There are two types of auto-configuration that may be performed.
The first is SLC's Only. This option will cause the node to scan it's SLC's and reconfigure
any devices that do not match the current configuration. In addition, it will enable devices
that have been configured as "not active" if they are present when the address is scanned.
Any devices that are not present on the Loop will be removed from the configuration.
The second type of auto-configuration is Full Auto-configuration. This option will perform
everything in the above procedure, but it will also reset all other configuration information to
the default settings.
Event Logs allows the user to access functions related to the system's history log. When
selected, OTS-E3 opens up a small dialog box that prompts for the desired action:
Print All - Selecting Print All will cause the panel to print its entire history log. The log will
be displayed in the OTS-E3 text window.
Print Last 20 - Selecting Print Last 20 will cause the panel to print the last twenty events in
its history log. The log will be displayed in the OTS-E3 text window.
Cancel Log Print - If the panel is currently printing the log, selecting this option will cause
the panel to stop printing its history log.
Clear Log - Clears the history log throughout the system. Selecting this option will perform
a hard reset on all nodes.
Service Mode is a feature of the E3 Series system that makes it easier for technicians in the
field to service the system. In Service Mode, normal system operation is modified in three
ways:
1.) The panel's buzzers do not sound during Trouble or Supervisory conditions. The buzzers
still operate in Action or Alarm conditions.
2.) Any new Trouble or Supervisory conditions are automatically acknowledged. The
acknowledgements are not logged, however.
3.) All password access requirements are waived except for those operations requiring Level
4 access. This applies to terminal, menu and OTS-E3 operations.
Selecting the "Service Mode ON" sub-menu presents the user with the following screen:
This allows the user to specify how long the system will remain in service mode. Once the
timer has expired, the system will revert to normal operations. The timer can be extended
by Selecting the "Service Mode ON" sub-menu and selecting a new timer duration. The
"Service Mode OFF" sub-menu will immediately turn the service mode feature off.
NOTE: Service Mode affects the entire system and persists through reset.
NOTE: A node will not remain in Service Mode after a hard reset occurs(such as following
a download). Select "Service Mode ON" and select the desired timer duration and click
OK to re-enable.
NOTE: Service Mode became available beginning at V1.1-528 of the ILI firmware. The
feature is supported in all versions of ILI95 firmware. The NGA has supported it since
V2.0-691.
14.2.1.3.8 IP Settings
In this screen, the user may set the IP address, subnet mask and gateway. These are the
three TCP/IP settings necessary to connect the S3 Series FACP or ANX to the Ethernet
network.
NOTE: You must connect your computer's serial port directly to the S3 Series FACP or
ANX in order to use this command.
Set IP Address - Place a check mark in this box if you would like to assign the IP address.
This address uniquely identifies this node on the network. The default setting is
192.168.1.3.
Set Subnet Mask - Place a check mark in this box if you would like to assign the subnet
mask. This identifies which part of the IP address refers to the network the S3 Series FACP
or ANX is connected to. The default setting is 255.255.255.0.
Set Gateway - Place a check mark in this box if you would like to assign the default gateway
IP address. If the S3 Series FACP or ANX is connected to a local network that is
connected to a larger network (such as the Internet), the gateway specifies the IP address of
the router that connects between the two networks. The default setting is 192.168.1.1.
NOTE: The default gateway is an Ethernet router device, not a FocalPoint Gateway.
NOTE: You must obtain Level 2 access for these settings to be accepted by the S3
Series FACP or ANX.
14.2.1.3.9 Reset Intelligent FAAST Device
Selecting the "Reset Intelligent FAAST Device" option brings up the following screen. It
allows the user to send a reset command to an Intelligent FAAST sensor.

If OTS-E3 is currently connected to an E3 Series node, selecting Disconnect will close the
serial port.
14.2.2.7 Exit
Use this drop-down list to select which COM Port is connected to the E3 Series system. An
auto-detection is also available to automatically determine the correct port.
Trouble Acknowledge - Acknowledge one or, optionally multiple, trouble conditions that are
present on the panel.
NOTE: Downloads to Standalone 7100 panels or Standalone E3 Series systems may only
be made via the panel's local serial port. Downloads to Standalone S3 Series system may
be made via the panel's local serial port or its Ethernet port.
The following options on the Download screen are applicable to configuration downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Enter IP Address -
If the user has opted to connect to the system via TCP/IP (Ethernet), the user must enter the
IP address of the S3 Series FACP, ANX-SR or ANX-MR that is connected to the system.
This selection field is unavailable if the user has opted to connect via RS-232 (Comm).
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
This option, intended only for diagnostic use, saves a binary file containing an exact image
of the target node's configuration database. This option should only be used at the
discretion of Gamewell-FCI Technical Support 932 personnel.
Send CAMs - When selected, CAMWorks will download CAMs to the selected node.
Send Device Labels / CAM Text (NGA nodes only) - When selected, CAMWorks

14.3.2 Firmware Download
The Download screen in CAMWorks can perform firmware downloads to each node in the
system. Make sure that a connection must be made between the RS-232 port on the
PC/Laptop to either the RJ11 connector of any INI-7100 node or to the serial port on an S3
Series FACP, NGA or ILI-E3 Series node that may be present in the system before
attempting to download. If an S3 Series FACP or ANX node is available, the download may
be performed via Ethernet (TCP/IP) instead of RS-232.
Since the firmware download process varies slightly for each node type, a step-by-step
guide is available for performing a firmware download to each node type. These may be
accessed using the following links:
Below is a list of the controls on the Download screen that apply to firmware downloads:
Port Options -
Select whether the download should be made via TCP/IP (Ethernet) or RS-232 (Comm).
This option is available only when the selected Gateway is an ANX or S3 Series FACP.
Download Gateway -
You must select whether your computer is connected to an INI-7100 node, an S3 Series
FACP, an ILI-E3 Series node/NGA or to an ANX. For 7100 Standalone, S3 Series
Standalone or E3 Series Standalone projects, this field is not available since the PC must be
connected directly to the panel. An auto-detection option is also available. If the
auto-detection fails to determine the correct download gateway the download gateway
selection must be made manually.
NOTE: In order to download to S3 Series or E3 Series nodes such as the NGA and the
ILI-MB-E3 via RS-232, you MUST connect your computer to the serial port of an
E3-compatible node. All other node types can be downloaded from either an INI-7100 or
an E3-compatible node. All node types may be downloaded via the ANX's RS-232 port or
Ethernet port.
NOTE: In multi-ring systems, all downloads to all nodes on "Ring 2" must be made
through the ANX-MR that serves as the multi-ring bridge.
NOTE: In order to download firmware to the INI-7100, the "7100 Network Card" option
must be selected instead of the "Firmware" option. See the INI-7100 Firmware Download
847 page for more information.
"..." -
This button opens a standard browse for file window to select the desired firmware file.
Download -
Click on this button to begin the download. The user will be prompted to enter the system
Level 4 access code before the download will begin. If all goes well, the Download process
will continue until completed. The panel will reset following a successful download.
NOTE: If the system has not been previously configured, you should enter the system
default level 4 password. If a custom level 4 password has already been downloaded to
the panel, then that code should be entered instead.
Below the option selections is a status window. This window displays several status
messages to indicate the progress of the download process, including the steps that are
being taken during the download. Each step is indicated as either "Done" (step completed
successfully) or "Failed" (an error occurred during this step). Gamewell-FCI Technical
Support 932 personnel may request the contents of the Status window in order to
troubleshoot problems with the download process.

14.4.2.1 View Uploaded Configuration
Once the user clicks on the "Compare and Save" button, CAMWorks displays a window that
shows the differences between the configuration stored in the current project and the
configuration that was just uploaded from the selected node.
This screen is divided into two main areas. At the top of the screen is a list of the various
types of configuration settings that have been uploaded. The contents of the list vary
depending on the node type that was just uploaded.
Below this list is the comparison results. This shows the configuration information that was
just uploaded from the panel and the configuration data for this node as it is stored in the
currently open project. If there is no project currently open, or if there is no node at this
address in the current project, this grid will only show the data that was uploaded from the
panel. Uploaded settings that are configured differently from the current project are
highlighted in red. The user may display or print a comparison report by clicking on the
"Print" button.
There are several filter options available to limit the display to certain facets of the panel's
configuration. Simply clicking on one of the filter options will cause CAMWorks to display
only the selected information. Using the "All" button will cause CAMWorks to display all of
the configuration settings that are normally displayed on the Features tab.
The user must choose what parts of the uploaded configuration should be saved. This is
done by placing check marks in the various check boxes shown in the list. Below the list is a
"Select All" check box. When checked, the "Select All" check box will check all of the entries
currently displayed in the grid.
NOTE: The "Select All" checkbox does not select all configuration settings for the current
node. It only selects all configuration settings that are currently displayed based on the
filter setting.
When comparing CAM Expressions, the uploaded CAMs may look differently than those
currently in the project file (even if there are no logical differences between them). Click on
the "Logical Comparison for CAMs" buttons to ensure that uploaded CAMs are logically
equivalent to those saved in the project file.
When done comparing the uploaded configuration against the current project use the "Save
Selected" button to save the uploaded configuration into the project. Selected configuration
settings in the current project will be replaced be the uploaded configuration. This process
may be repeated in order to save all of the configuration settings
This screen is divided into three sections. In the top section, CAMWorks prompts for what
to search for and where to search. In the middle of the screen, the results from the search
are displayed. Finally, at the bottom is an area where the user can manually change CAM
Expressions and/or CAM Comments directly from this screen.
1.) Select which node (or All) from the Node No./ Node Type/ System Label drop-down to
select where CAMWorks should search.
2.) Select whether CAMWorks should search CAM Expressions, CAM Comments or Bit
Numbers using one of the option buttons.
3.) Press ENTER or click Search to begin searching.
4.) The search results will appear in the middle section of the screen once CAMWorks has
completed searching the project.
If desired, the search term entered in Step #2 may be substituted by another term in all
search results. In order to do this, the desired text may be entered in the "Replace With"
field. Click on the "Replace All" button once the desired replacement text is entered.
CAM Expressions and/or CAM Comments may be manually modified through this screen as
well. The user must click on one of the search results to select it in the list in order to do
this. Once the desired CAM has been selected, the user can modify either the CAM
Expression or CAM Comment via the text fields at the bottom of the screen. The changes
must be saved once the user has completed the edits.

CAM Programming Examples 877
Select a switch on an ASM-16 that will enable the all call function.
Program the Green LED next to it to turn on when the switch has been pressed to enable
the paging function: The CAM would be simply.
N1G87
Programmed this way, the Green LED will light and stay on until the paging circuit is
disabled by pressing the same switch a second time.
A somewhat better way to program the LED is to have it on to show that the circuit is
enabled but when the switch on the microphone is pressed the Green LED turns off and
then a red LED lights to show that the paging function is active.
N1G87 & ~ N1G1 in the cam for the Green LED next to switch # 9.
N1G1 is the state of the switch on the microphone in the INCC node.
The statement for the Green LED becomes true when the switch # 9 is pressed and the
microphone switch has not been pressed i.e. the paging system is armed but not activated.
The statement for the RED LED becomes true when both the ASM-16 switch #9 and the
microphone switch are pressed. The microphone is now live and on the air.
The second half of the programming for this function takes place on the INX.
In the CAM area open the speaker circuit page and click next until you get to Amplifier # 1
Paging. Enter the following CAM.
N1G87
With this CAM the paging will be enabled any time the ASM-16 switch has been pressed.
This also means that any recorded audio that may be playing will be interrupted immediately
and permanently until the switch has been pressed for a second time. The following CAM is
a better approach:
This form won’t stop the automatic signaling until the microphone switch is actually pressed
and can’t be inadvertently left on preventing future signaling.
The last portion of the programming for this function is the activation of the amplifier output.
The same CAM can be used in the Amplifier Control page for the amplifier and output circuit
desired. Again it is recommended to use the following form for the CAM. (N1G87 & N1G1)
this way the amplifier won’t be left activated unintentionally.
To complete the system wide All CALL paging function will require that the same CAMs
used above be programmed into all amplifier output control locations and all amplifier # x
Paging locations for all INX’s in the system.
NOTE: In the case of the CAM for the Amplifier Output Control there will likely be other
conditions like a fire alarm that will also need to activate the amp, requiring their own
CAM statement. In this situation the CAM statement for paging activation would be “OR’
ed” together with the statement for fire alarm activation.
The programming of the individual switches for each paging area are the same as for the
ALL Call paging with only the group number for the given switch being different. For
example floor #1 page would be on switch # 10 that has the group number of 88 instead.
Therefore its CAM would be N1G88 & N1G1 etc.
On the INX the CAMs for the Amplifier #x Paging would “OR” the selective paging switch
with the all call paging switch for each amplifier that needed to respond to a given selected
area. Not all amplifiers need to be paging enabled for any given switch. For example:
Amplifier # 1 in Node 3 for paging enable would have the CAM set up to enable paging for
the All Call and floor 1 switches and would look this ( N1G87 | N1G88 ) & N1G1
Similarly for Amplifier Output Control each amplifier would have the same CAMs “OR’ed”
with the fire alarm CAM again for amplifier one, two and three.
The building consists of five floors. There is one elevator, and two stairwells, one on the
north and one on the south side of the building. The main lobby is to have a fire command
center. The building is to be equipped with two firefighter phones per floor. Each floor will
have one ILI-MB-E3 and one INX with two amplifiers each.
Sample #1 One fire alarm group and one output message for the whole building.
Step 1: Program NODE 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 such that all fire alarm input devices
(manual pull stations, ION, Photo, and Duct smoke detectors, and Thermal
detectors) as GROUP 1.
Repeat for each ILI-MB-E3 node and then download each node.
Repeat for each INX node and then download each node.
NOTE: Each INX node will require that a recorded message be downloaded into
message #1
15.2.2.2 Sample 2
Sample # 2 One fire alarm group per floor with an evacuation message for the fire floor and
the floor above and an alert message for the remainder of the building using one AM-50
amplifier per floor. (MEA N. Y. std.)
Step 1: Program NODE 2 (floor # 1) such that all fire alarm input devices (manual
pull stations, ION, Photo, and Duct smoke detectors, and Thermal detectors) as
GROUP 1.
Program NODE 4 (floor # 2) such that all fire alarm input devices (manual pull
stations, ION, Photo, and Duct smoke detectors, and Thermal detectors) as GROUP
2.
Program NODE 6 (floor # 3) such that all fire alarm input devices (manual pull
stations, ION, Photo, and Duct smoke detectors, and Thermal detectors) as GROUP

15.2.3 Providing By Floor Alarm Audio Signaling Disable While Allowing Alarm
Override To Remaining System
15.2.3.1 Sample 1
This function will provide the ability to inhibit any CAM logic controlled output device from
responding to a fire alarm condition generated on any floor or for the entire building. In this
example the control input to disable a floor etc. is the ASM-16 switch module. This could just
as easily be implemented by using a key switch and AMM combination.
When a given floor has been disabled any fire alarm input initiated by a device on that floor
will not activate the audio evacuation message on any floor. Other floors within the building
however are not affected and a fire alarm condition will operate normally including on the
floor that has been disabled. If the entire building has been disabled by selecting switch 6
then there will be no response throughout the entire building.
Automatic functions that are not under CAM logic control will continue to operate normally at
all times. Therefore ILI-MB-E3 NAC circuits, Municipal circuits, alarm relay contacts,
and Dialers (DACT) if equipped will continue to function even though a floor or the
entire building disable has been selected. The ILI-MB-E3 will continue to annunciate a
fire alarm condition that originates on the disabled floor or from anywhere else within the
system.
Sample #1 For a 5 story building designed so each floor has a unique set of input device
group numbers and a dedicated AOM-MUX or AOM-2S for each floor as indicated. The
system consists of the following:
1 INCC node # 1
1 ILI-MB-E3 node #2
1 INX node #3
The input devices are assigned as follows :
Basement #B1 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 1 to
9
Floor #1 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 10 to 19
Floor #2 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 20 to 29
Floor #3 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 30 to 39
Floor #4 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 40 to 49
Floor #5 has a variety of input devices assigned to group numbers ranging from 50 to 59
Each floor has an AOM-MUX (or AOM-2S) assigned to a unique group number as follows:
INX - AOM-MUX #1 address 17 Group 240 for Floor 1
(ILI-MB-E3 AOM-2S #1 group 125)
INX - AOM-MUX #2 address 18 Group 241 for Floor 2
(ILI-MB-E3 AOM-2S #2 group 126)
INX - AOM-MUX #3 address 19 Group 242 for Floor 3
(ILI-MB-E3 AOM-2S #3 group 127)
INX - AOM-MUX #4 address 20 Group 243 for Floor 4
(ILI-MB-E3 AOM-2S #4 group 128)
INX - AOM-MUX #5 address 21 Group 244 for Floor 5
ILI-MB-E3 AOM-2S #5 group 129)
The disable floor fire alarm switches are to be ASM-16 #1 switches 1 to 5 and switch # 6 is
to be an entire building disable switch.
Application programming:
Step 1: To begin, in the INX SCRATCHPAD CAM area of CAMWorks, assign all input
device group numbers by floor to a scratchpad that will then represent a fire alarm indication
bit by floor:
(group 416)
(group 417)
(group 418)
(group 419)
(group 420)
(group 421)
(group 422)
Step 2: Assign message #1 to Audio Amp #1 for common fire alarm with silence.
NOTE: using the alarm silence bit (N2G400) here the message will complete
and then silence.
NOTE: Using the alarm silence bit (N2G400) here the message will silence
immediately.
Alarm silence is needed only in one location to operate.
NOTE: Using the expression “ & ~ N1G85” here provides audio alarm disable
for all floors.
Step 3A: Activation or disabling of the floor’s AOM-MUX (for AOM-2S see Step 3B)
In the Conditional Action Maps (CAMS) – AOM MUX Module dialog box:
Input Select: AOM-MUX Module #1
False selects channel “A”
True selects channel “B”
N3G422
NOTE: This will select input channel “B” for a common fire alarm condition.
Leave this blank if the audio message is wired to input channel “A”
N3G422
NOTE: This will select input channel “B” for a common fire alarm condition.
Leave this blank if the audio message is wired to input channel “A”
N3G422
NOTE: This will select input channel “B” for a common fire alarm condition.
Leave this blank if the audio message is wired to input channel “A”
N3G422
NOTE: This will select input channel “B” for a common fire alarm condition.
Leave this blank if the audio message is wired to input channel “A”
N3G422
NOTE: This will select input channel “B” for a common fire alarm condition.
Leave this blank if the audio message is wired to input channel “A”
Step 3B: Activation or disabling of the floor’s AOM-2S (for AOM-MUX see Step 3A)
In the ILI-MB-E3 CAMS FOR OUTPUT GROUPS dialog box:

NOTE: There are many other options for annunciation such as blinking yellow
for bypassed and solid yellow for a module trouble. A one-hour timed bypass
limit with trouble buzzer. Timer disable of the bypass function etc.
Sample # 1 Establishing five phone circuits using five switches on an ASM-16 in the INCC
Command Center. To setup this system on the above project, each of the INX nodes and
the INCC node will have to be programmed and downloaded.
The phone system will operate as follows:
When a firefighter handset is jacked into a remote phone jack, a yellow LED next to the
appropriate circuit’s switch will blink and the INCC’s sounder will beep to indicate an
incoming call. Then when an operator presses the indicated switch to answer the call the
yellow LED will light steady and the sounder will silence. At the remote INX node that
initiated the call-in the AOM-TEL will connect the audio channel and enable the phone.
Two-way communications is now enabled. Additional phones on other nodes can also be
activated simultaneously to provide a party line audio connection.
Step 1: Program the INCC (node 1) so that ASM-16 number one’s switches 9, 10,
11, 12, and 13 operate as phone circuit controls for circuits one to five.
The above CAMs cause the GREEN LED to blink when a phone is plugged into
a jack, and to stop blinking when the associated switch is pressed.
These CAMs cause the RED LED to light when there is a phone plugged in and
the associated switch has been pressed.
In the Conditional Action Maps (CAMS) – Phone Ring, Buzzer, Phone Enable
PHONE RING
The above causes the phone ring buzzer to sound until the associated switch
is pressed. A new circuit request or call in will again cause the sounder to
beep again till the new circuit’s switch has been pressed.
In the Conditional Action Maps (CAMS) – Phone Ring, Buzzer, Phone Enable
PHONE ENABLE
The above enables the phone circuit for the INCC node when any or all circuits
are active.
Step 2: Program the INX nodes 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 and their AOM-TEL modules.
IN the Program AOM LABELS: AOM TELEPHONE MODULES dialog box for all
INX nodes:
Loop Addr Type Label Group Active
1 1 AOM Telephone Module OPTIONAL 176 YES
1 2 AOM Telephone Module OPTIONAL 177 YES
1 3 AOM Telephone Module OPTIONAL 178 NO
1 4 AOM Telephone Module OPTIONAL 179 NO
1 5 AOM Telephone Module OPTIONAL 180 NO
Set the two AOM-TEL modules to active as shown. Add a label in place of optional if
desired. (Recommended)
Sample #1 All call with selective paging using ASM-16 to control all paging functions.
Step 1: Program the INCC (node 1) so that ASM-16 number one’s switches 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, and 6 so that switch #1 will give all call and switches 2 through 6 will page floors
1 through 5 respectively. When the ASM-16 switch is pressed a GREEN LED will
turn on next to the switch to indicate the paging function selected. Then when the
microphone switch is pressed the green light turns off and the RED LED turns on to
indicate the amplifiers and microphone are live.
These CAMs cause the GREEN LED to light when a paging circuit has been
selected but has not been activated by pressing the microphone switch. When
the microphone switch has been pressed, the green LED turns off and the RED
LED turns on indicating the circuit is live.
In the Conditional Action Maps (CAMS) – Amplifier Control dialog box: Add the
following statement to any existing cam separated with an “OR” statement:
AUDIO AMP 1: Energize Amplifier channel –A- output relay
NOTE: The above examples require either the “ALL CALL” or the floor specific
paging switch to be pressed along with the microphone switch also being
pressed to activate the paging function on any given amplifier.
15.2.5.2 Sample 2
Sample #2 All call to be controlled by the microphone switch only, when afire alarm
condition exists. When there is no fire alarm condition, the all call and selective paging
functions require use of the ASM-16 to activate the paging functions. Selective paging is not
available during afire alarm.
Step 1: Program the INCC (node 1) so that ASM-16 number one’s switches 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, and 6 so that switch #1 will give all call and switches 2 through 6 will page floors
1 through 5 respectively.
NOTE: N1G416 is the location of a scratch pad #1 in node #1 that will be true
whenever there is afire alarm anywhere in the building (common fire alarm).
(See step #$ below)
These CAMs operate the same as sample #1 above when using the paging
function at a time when no fire alarm condition exists, however during afire
alarm the microphone switch will activate all call regardless of the state of the
selective paging or all call ASM-16 switches.
NOTE: N3G416 is the location of scratch pad #1 in node #3 that will be true
whenever there is afire alarm anywhere in the building (common fire alarm).
(See step #3 below)
NOTE: The above examples require either the “ALL CALL” or the floor specific
paging switch to be pressed along with the microphone switch also being
pressed to activate the paging function on any given amplifier. During afire
alarm, the microphone switch will enable paging on all INX nodes without
selecting ALL CALL.
NOTE: This expression must be repeated in each node involved with the
paging function. This maintains the peer-to-peer nature of the network system
as well as maximizing the overall survivability potential of the system during
emergency conditions.
15.2.6 Programming A Backup Amplifier
15.2.6.1 Sample 1
Sample #1 This will demonstrate one of the possible ways to program an amplifier to
function as a backup for up to three main amplifiers. The assumption here is that each of the
three main amplifiers will need to play a different message and therefore the backup amp
will need to determine which message to play depending on which amplifier it is replacing.
NOTE: The design of the AM-50 prevents it from outputting into a shorted speaker
loop and therefore the backup amp should not activate on a loop short or open
condition for output circuit “A” or “B”. Therefore the backup amplifier and the backup
relay of the faulted amplifier must be activated only during afire alarm and only by the
amplifier fault status bit locations 40, 73, or 104 from the main amplifiers numbered
one to three respectively.
For this example there will be nine fire alarm groups from three different Network ILI-MB-E3
nodes. There is one INX with three AM-50 amplifiers. There are nine recorded messages
and an ALL CALL function.
The following CAMs select the correct message to send out based on the witch
of the Main Amplifiers has a fault condition
In the Conditional Action Maps (CAMS) – Amplifier Control dialog box for Node 2:
AUDIO AMP 1: Energize Amplifier channel –A- output relay
Note: Only amplifier # 4 channel “A” output is being fed into the three backup
amplifier inputs on the Main Amplifiers.
To allow the Backup Amplifier to perform All Call and Selective Paging the following
will allow the Backup Amplifier to activate to the appropriate paging control switch
dependant upon which Main Amplifier is faulted. The setup here assumes that All
Call is assigned to ASM-16 #1 switch #1. Floor 1 Selective Paging is normally
performed by Main Amplifier #1 and controlled by ASM-16 #1 switch #2. Floor two is
driven by Main Amplifier #2 and selected by ASM-16 #1 switch #3. And finally, floor
three is served by Main Amplifier # 3 and activated by ASM-16 #1 switch # 4.
ALSO, change CAM screen for Amplifier Control (AUDIO AMP 4: Energize
Amplifier channel –A- output relay) by adding the paging switches during a
fault to activate the output relay so that the complete expression looks like the
following.
Sample #1 The elevator will recall to the first floor as a default and to the second floor
should there be a fire condition adjacent to the first floor access.
Program smoke detectors, pull stations, etc. into the ILI-MB-E3 as usual using the
Input Devices screen. Next, program AOMs using the Output Devices screen in the
usual way. NOTE: at this stage group numbers for AOMs are not important and can
be left at zero, for now.
The final stage of setting up the control modules is to assign CAM Controlled Output
group numbers to the device using the Output Devices screen. CAM Controlled
Output groups begin with group number 125 and run up to 224 and 500 to 599.
Multiple devices can have the same group number and one device can have multiple
groups.
The following screen shows the group assignment for the elevator recall
example.
ADDRES AlmNIG
LOOP S DEVICE TYPE GROUPS AlmDay HT
1 17 Form C AOM NS 125
1 23 Form C AOM NS 126
For this example, assume that NODE 2, group 14 has been assigned to the
thermal detectors in the elevator lobby on floor one, and NODE 4, group 24
has been assigned to the second floor elevator lobby. The AOMs are setup up
as shown above for groups 125 and 126.
For NODE 2
For NODE 2
In the CAM ScratchPad Screen:
SCRATCHPAD - LOCATION 1
(see this page 905 for combining all fire alarms into a common fire alarm)
NODE # 1 is an INCC
NODE # 2 is an ILI-MB-E3
NODE # 3 is an INX
The INCC has 1 ASM-16 and switch #1 is to be the lockout control switch
Switch # 2 is to be the lockout cancel control.
The YELLOW LED next to switch # 1 will indicate the lockout condition.
NAC circuit 1, MCOM, and all Amplifiers are to be locked out from activating for group 99
only.
On the line for NAC Ckt. 1 un-check all option boxes and assign a group number between
125 and 224 or 500 to 599. In this case we will assign it to 125. Then do the same to the line
for the municipal circuit. You can assign this one to group 125 as well or it can be a different
group if desired.
Next, go to the“CAM Output Groups" screen. The first output group (125) will open allowing
the following CAM to be entered.
This scratchpad and its CAM form the latching bit that is used for all of the outputs that must
be inhibited. Only the INI-7100, NGA, ILI-MB-E3, ILI-S-E3, ILI95-MB-E3, ILI95-S-E3,
ANX-SR and ANX-MR nodes have these non-resetting scratchpads available. The System
Status Map help file (distributed with CAMWorks) indicates which scratchpads are latching
(non-resetting).
The next node to be programmed is the INCC. Here we will provide indicator lights that will
annunciate the status if the lockout and the state of the controlling switches.
Open the INCC section of CAMWorks and proceed to the CAM ASM/ANU LED screen and
then go to the YELLOW LED next to switch #1. We will use this LED to indicate that the
lockout is active. We will use the following CAM.
Save this CAM and then edit the CAM for the GREEN LED by switch 2 and enter the
following CAM:
Save this CAM and close out of the INCC portion of CAMWorks.
The final area needing programming for lockout is the INX so open up this area and proceed
to the CAM Audio Outputs screen and scroll down to AMP 1 Circuit A - Output.
The amplifier will activate for fire alarm inputs and be silenceable as well as respond to
paging even during times when a fire alarm has been silenced or group 99 has been locked
out. The following CAM will perform these functions.
Download the configuration to each node to complete this implementation assuming all other
required functions have been programmed.
The firefighter phone as setup on the E3 Series system in this example will operate as
detailed here. A phone is plugged into a remote phone jack somewhere in the premises.
This causes the AOM-TEL to issue a service request to the INX via the SLC. The INX in turn
will set a bit in the bitmap that represents the affected AOM-TEL and sends out it’s local bit
map across the network. When the copy of the bit map reaches the INCC and is processed
through the CAM programming the INCC will command the appropriate LED to begin
flashing and to pulse it’s sounder to alert an operator that there is an incoming call. The
operator must press the switch adjacent to the flashing LED on the ASM-16 to acknowledge
the call and enable the phone circuit. The switch press causes the INCC to set the correct
bit in its bit map, which is sent out, and to silence the beeping sounder. It also causes the
flashing LED to stop flashing and go on steady. Meanwhile when the INCC’s bit map
reaches the INX the switch press bit is processed and results in the command being output
over the SLC to turn on the AOM-TEL connecting the phone to the virtual phone channel.
The INX also enables its end of the phone circuit connecting it to the network. The INCC will
receive the INX’s bit map that now reflects the activation of the AOM-TEL and it will activate
its end of the phone circuit allowing the two locations to converse.
The programming required to make this work needs to be done in both the INX and the
INCC.
To start, at the INCC select a switch in one of the ASM-16(‘s) that will be assigned to
activate this one AOM-TEL. This will then imply which of the 3 LED’s may be used to
indicate an un-acknowledged and an acknowledged call in. Select the desired color LED and
program it in the LED BLINK page of the CAMs section to activate when the AOM-TEL
issues a service request bit and the ASM-16 switch has not been pressed.
EX.1 on the page for LED Blink ASM-16 number 2 RED LED next to switch 1 enter the
following
N1 is the node number for the INCC and G96 is the bit for switch #1 of ASM-16 #2
The red LED will now blink when a phone is plugged in and the switch is not pressed.
Next in the Phone Ring, Buzzer, Phone enable section, on the page for Phone Ring enter
the same CAM expression as above in EX.1 so that the phone ring and blinking LED
operate together.
The next CAM needed is for when the switch has been pressed to acknowledge the call-in:
On the page for LED On/Off and ASM-16 #2 GREEN LED next to switch #1 enter the
following
N1 is the node number for the INCC and G96 is the bit for switch #1 of ASM-16 #2
The Green LED will now turn on steady because the switch has been pressed.
Alternatively the CAM can be written so that the LED will only illuminate when the AOM-TEL
confirms its activation through the bit map as well as the switch press and service request.
N3 is the node number for the INX and G176 is the bit commanding the AOM-TEL
activation.
The last thing needed in the INCC CAMming is in the Phone Ring, Buzzer, Phone enable
section, on the page for Phone Enable enter the same CAM expression (N3G160 & N1G96 )
so that the phone circuit is enabled. Alternatively the CAM (N3G160 & N1G96 & N3G176)
can also be used if desired.
This completes the programming needed in the INCC and all that remains is the
programming of the INX for the control of the AOM-TEL module and the enabling of the
virtual phone circuit.
In the INX section of CAMWorks the AOM-TEL (s) must be set to active in the Labels
AOM-TEL Modules page. Entering a label is also recommended for future reference.
Then under the CAMs on the AOM Telephone Modules page enter the CAM logic
expression that will control the activation of the module. The expression would be something
like the following:
N1 is the node number for the INCC and G96 is the bit for switch #1 of ASM-16 #2
This probably looks familiar by now, as it is the same expression used back in the INCC to
control the Green LED. Here it will activate the AOM-TEL only if the AOM-TEL has a phone
plugged into it’s jack and someone at the Command Center (INCC) has pressed the switch
to activate this phone circuit.
Lastly the same CAM (N3G160 & N1G96 ) is also entered in the INX’s page for Phone
Enable.
This completes all the programming needed to program one remote phone on one INX
node. More phone circuits and more nodes will have similar CAMs either in additional pages
for LED’s or will have expressions “OR’ed” with the expressions shown above.

The Advanced CAM Programming Editor 925 is used for writing the Low-Level CAM code.
See this section for more information about the editor.
2. Blank lines are allowed in the file (makes for easier reading).
3. Comments are allowed either at the beginning of a line or anywhere else inline. The /
(forward slash) character begins a comment. All characters that follow the / are treated as a
comment, regardless if they are valid CAM instructions or not.
NOTE: Comment blocks are not supported. Each line of a comment must begin with a /.
4. If the command KEYWORD is not a standalone type, such as AND, OR, NOT, XOR,
END, etc., the command KEYWORD should be separated from the first instruction
parameter with a space. (Examples: INPUT 1,1 or OUTPUT 1,300).
5. Other instruction parameters after the keyword and first parameter, should be
separated with commas (as in the examples above).
6. Commands are not case sensitive. Use upper or lower case or any combination of the
two.
NOTE: For S3 Series Standalone, 7100 Standalone and E3 Series Standalone systems,
all CAMs 21 must refer to Node 0 (N0).
AND
Pops two locations off the top of the evaluation stack, performs the logical AND operation on
the bits, and pushes the result back onto the evaluation stack.
OR
Pops two locations off the top of the evaluation stack, performs the logical OR operation on
the bits, and pushes the result back onto the evaluation stack.
XOR
Pops two locations off the top of the evaluation stack, performs the logical XOR operation on
the bits, and pushes the result back onto the evaluation stack.
NOT
Pops the address off the top of the evaluation stack, performs the logical NOT operation on
the bit, and pushes the result back onto the evaluation stack.
ON
Pushes a one directly onto the evaluation stack.
OFF
Pushes a zero directly onto the evaluation stack.
POP
Pops the bit off the top of the evaluation stack, and discards it.
PUSH
Examines the bit at the top of the evaluation stack (without destroying it), and pushes a copy
END
Marks the end of the current CAM. Clears the evaluation stack and flags.
DEFCNT N, O
Define Counter (0-9). Assigns an Output destination address to Counter N. Clears the
specified output in the local copy of this node's SSM Block.
SETCNT N, C
Set Counter (0-9). Assigns a count (1-65535) to counter N. Counter's associated output is
not affected, but will be turned ON after DECCNT is executed C times.
DECCNT N
Decrement Counter (0-9). Decrements the count in Counter N. If this causes the count to
reach zero, outputs a one to the counter's associated output address in the local copy of this
Node's SSM block.
DEFTMR N, O
Define Timer (0-9). Assigns an Output destination address to Timer N. Clears the specified
Output in the local copy of this Node's SSM block.
SETTMR N, C
Set Timer (0-9). Assigns a time delay (1-65535) to Timer N. Timer's associated
output is not affected, but will be turned ON C seconds after ENATMR is executed.
ENATMR N
Enable Timer (0-9). Starts Timer N running.
DISTMR N
Disable Timer (0-9). Stops Timer N and clears its time count. After this instruction is
executed, SETTMR must be executed again before timer N can be restarted. See
HOLDTMR.
HOLDTMR N
Hold Timer (0-9). Suspends the timing process of timer N, preserving the remaining time
count. ENATMR restarts timer N from the current point.
DEFSCD N, O
Define Schedule (0-9). Assigns an output destination address to Schedule N. Clears the
specified output in the local copy of this Node's SSM block.
SETSCD N, M, D, W, H, T
Set Schedule (0-9). Sets the parameters for Schedule N. Any parameter set to 255 means
"Don't Care". M = Month of year (1-12). D = Day of month (1-31). W = binary bit map for day
of week. (XXXXXXX1 = Sunday, XXXXXX1X = Monday, XXXXX1XX = Tuesday,
XXXX1XXX = Wednesday, XXX1XXXX = Thursday, XX1XXXXX = Friday, X1XXXXXX =
Saturday, 255 matches any day) Enter these days of the week as decimal numbers 1 -255.
H = Hour (0-23). T = Minute (0-59).
ENASCD N
DISSCD
Disables operation of Schedule N (0-9), preserving its settings. ENASCD may be used to
Re-enable the schedule.
CLRSCD N
Clear Schedule N (0-9). Disables operation of Schedule N and clears its settings. SETSCD
must be executed before subsequent use of this schedule.
DEFSEQ N,L,P,O1,O2,O3,O4,O5,O6,O7,O8,O9,O10,O11,O12
Define Sequence. Sets the list of outputs and their order for Sequence 'N'. 'Limit'
de-termines the end point of the sequence (number of outputs 1-12). P = 0 for 'Bar Graph'
or 1 for 'Shift'. A 'Bar Graph' sequence leaves any current outputs ON when an INCSEQ is
executed. A 'Shift' sequence turns OFF its current output when an INCSEQ is executed.
INCSEQ N
Increment Sequence. Activates the next output in Sequence N. If the sequence is a 'shift'
sequence, the previously activated output (if any) is turned OFF. If the sequence has
advanced past its 'Limit', all outputs are turned OFF. If the sequence is a 'Bar Graph'
sequence, the previously-active outputs (if any) remain ON. If the sequence has advanced
past its limit, all outputs remain ON.
CLRSEQ N
Clear Sequence. Turns OFF any active outputs in Sequence N, and deletes the se-quence.
DEFSEQ must be executed before the sequence can be used again.
IF
Pops the bit off the top of the evaluation stack. If the bit is zero, skips all further instructions
up to the next ELSE or ENDIF instruction. If bit is a one, executes instructions up to the next
ELSE instruction (if any), then skips to the next ENDIF instruction. IF/ELSE/ENDIF
instructions cannot be nested. Any IF must be terminated by an ENDIF, but ELSE is
optional.
ELSE
Marks the end of IF- true instructions, and the start of IF - false instructions.
ENDIF
Marks the end of an IF conditional.

Timers, Counters, and Sequences are used in tandem with CAM expressions. CAMs consist
of at least one INPUT instruction and one OUTPUT instruction. However a more typical
CAM includes multiple INPUTs, logic operation(s), and an OUTPUT instruction.
