1 Operative ways
AREA54 can be operated in one of two basic ways:

- NORMAL (Stand-by) Operative Way

- PROGRAMMING Way

When power is applied the Normal (Stand-by) operative way is automatically entered and remains
thus until an operation performed by either the installer or the operator.

1.1 Normal (Stand-by) operative way

When the Control Panel is in Normal (Stand-by) operative way, it monitors all the connected
detectors and manages all events that could occur in the field or directly in the control panel. These
events can be described as: Alarm, system fault, filed fault, maintenance and exclusions.
Generally, in Normal operation, when there are no active events, the display shows the
information below:

Active at Night Event counter

Plant name

* #
FIRE PROTECTION PLANT
12/10/00 11:50
AREA 54/16

Control Unit ID
Date Time

If the control panel has not been programmed, the message “unable to monitor” will appear
on the display.
If the Control Panel has not yet stored any event, the Event counter shows an * (in the top
right corner) that will change into a “#”, as soon as an event has occurred and will remain so until a level
3 password is inserted or the programming is initialised.
When the condition of the control panel changes due to an event, the event itself will be shown on the
display and all the cumulative counters for each type of event will appear on the right hand side of the
display.

USER’S MANUAL IS7082-AB

If more events occur in addition to the event counter increment, the display will show the first
event at the top and the most recent event at the bottom. The event display has the following priority:

Zone Alarms (ZA)

Device Group in Alarm (GD)
Zone Group in Alarm (GZ)
System Faults (SF)
Field Faults (FF)
Maintenance (MN)
Exclusion (EX)
Events at SLAVE panels (SP)

To change the event viewing, press the < and > keys and move the selection asterisk onto
the desired event. To check the event list for the selected event, press the arrow keys ∧ and ∨ in
order to view the event; the most recent event will be shown at the top.

1.2 Alarm Display

The Alarm display depends on the generating source and the Zone programming type. In
general, there are 4 Alarm indications:

ALARM 0: the detector has activated the Zone/Group and it hasn’t passed to an effective Alarm stage
yet. Only when the time associated with it has elapsed, the Zone/Group will switch to a condition of
Alarm or Group. This indication is displayed with the single knock with time.

ALARM 1: this Alarm condition can be applied to the double knock modes (with/without time) or “ALARM
1 only” requiring to use such indication.

ALARMS 2, 3: these Alarm conditions can be applied to all the operating modes related to the Zones,
except for the “ALARM 1 only” mode, and they can be the result of cumulative Alarm conditions leading
the Alarm to its maximum level (level 3).

1.3 System Fault Display

The system fault display allows the immediate recognition of the device and of a part of the
Control Panel which is in a failure condition and can negatively affect the system operation. In any
case, each event is described on the display and it is complete with all the device identification data
(e.g. the address) and the relevant error code.
Faulty panel address

Fault type

For further information on the system fault, please refer to Appendix A.

1.4 Field Fault Display

The field fault display depends on the generating source. A field fault usually affects either a
device connected to the detection line, or the detection line itself. In the first case, a field fault due to a
device is signalled as follows:
Faulty detection line
Faulty detector
address
Reset timer
Zone number

FAULT Z020 L01 D018 MN PR *FF001

KITCHEN MANUAL CALL POINT MN000
EX000
Detector name SP000

Priority
Detector type

It’s easy to understand how the field fault of a device is due to the inability of the Control
Panel to detect the said device, since it is faulty or has been removed.
In the second case, the field fault is due to the detection line when a particular event has
modified the connection structure of the said line, i.e. the line loop breaking in two branches named A
and B, or a short-circuit of the line. If so, the display will show the following message:
Faulty line number

FAULT LINE 01 *FF001

SHORT-CIRCUIT MN000

1.5 Maintenance Display

The display of a device in maintenance allows the immediate recognition of a smoke detector
which has to be replaced or cleaned, since it is no longer reliable. Therefore, the display indicates the
device on the line.

1.7 SLAVE Panel Display

This display is employed only if a “control unit network” exists and when the MASTER panel
supervises and controls the same network.
If a SLAVE panel detects an event, the MASTER panel will notify it showing the event type in
its display. In this case, the MASTER panel, in addition to the event type, will display the SLAVE
panel number and name.
The event types which may be displayed are as follows:

• Alarm
• System fault
• Field fault
