The search for new devices feature allows additional addressable devices to be added to the system without
the use of a PC and the FireConfig software. The search will find all new devices fitted to a loop, however, it
be used for gas detection or Sounders and / or Beacons except when adding to an existing group of
group addressed Sounder / Beacons, see section x on group addressing.
The search for new devices feature is conducted as follows:
a.
Use the arrow keys and scroll down to search for new devices and press enter.
The system will scan all unused addresses starting at the lowest until a new device is found.
b.
Once a new device has been found use the +/- keys and left right arrow keys to enter a name and zone
number, scroll down to ADD and press enter, or SKIP if you do not wish to add the new device. The
name can be alphanumeric with a maximum of 12 characters, including spaces.
c.
The search will continue until all unused addresses are checked. When finished will display the
following text “NO FURTHER DEVICES FOUND”. Scroll down to END and press enter.
d.
The scan can be finished at any time by pressing menu.
Manually enter the time and date, this will automatically update all other displays connected to the system..

The gas detection feature allows the user to scroll through all of the gas detector sensors connected viewing the
current gas concentration. Additionally the calibration mode (CAL MODE) can be turned on allowing calibration
of the gas sensors without any cause and effects or outputs operating. The fire detection remains fully
operational during CAL MODE. If the calibration is interrupted, due to an alarm, pre-alarm etc.., the user
return to the Gas Detection menu and turn off the calibration mode.
View the gas sensors concentration as follows:
a.
Use the arrow keys and scroll to gas detection and press enter.
b.
Using the +/- keys select a loop with gas sensors connected. The first of up to 10 sensors permitted per
loop will be displayed.
c.
Press the right arrow key to move over to the sensor number. Use the +/- keys to change sensor
number.
d.
Repeat c., above, to view all gas sensors fitted, up to 10 per loop.
Calibrate the gas sensors as follow:
e.
Use the down arrow key and go down to “CHANGE CAL MODE”. Use the +/- keys to turn the cal mode
on or off. Enter user level 2 password and press enter twice. When in calibration mode the
light
will be illuminated indicating all gas sensors are isolated.
f.
Once calibration is complete turn cal mode off as stated above. Check that the
lamp on the
Display AND the
lamp on the Loop cards are not illuminated. Turning the system off and then back
on again will ensure no gas sensors are left isolated.
