Adding Devices to FIP Programming 

In order to add or remove devices from the FIP programming, the FIP must be in “ACCESS LEVEL 3”.

 

The steps t

o enter “ACCESS LEVEL 3” 

are as follows: 

1.

 

Unlock and open the ce

ntre display window.  This operates a read switch on the door that enables “ACCESS 

LEVEL 2”. 

The centre lock opens the display window, allowing for operation of the controls. 

 

 

2.

 

Unlock and open the main door for the FIP.  The top and bottom locks will open the complete cabinet front 
allowing for full access to the FIP controls.  Ensure that the display window is kept open. 

3.

 

Move the Write/Enable switch on the lower extinguishant mo

dule to the left “Write” position.  This enable 

“ACCESS LEVEL 3” and allows for programming of the signs.

 

 

A “CONFIG WP” Fault will 

show if the Slide Switch 

is not returned “ENABLE”

 

Adding / Removing Devices at the FIP 

FIP SHOULD BE POWERED DOWN before any changes are made to status units.  When the system is first powered 
on, it will search for connected status units connected to extinguishant 

module.   If status  units  are  connected correctly  and  detected  by  the 
control FIP, the LCD will display:  
Open the 

Display 

Window and Press 

Enter

 on the module to which the 

status units are connected.  Use the 

“+”

 button on the module to view 

the faults.  If status units are detected the LCD will  display, X = the 
address of the status unit found. 
To accept the status units found, 

slide the WRITE ENABLE switch

on  the  module  to  which  the  status  units  or  ancillary  boards  are 
connected to write mode.  The LCD will then display, X= the address of 
the status unit found. 
Then press the 

Enter

 button, the selected status unit or ancillary board will be added to the system and the next 

unit to be added will be displayed.  Press the 

Enter

 button on the extinguishant module until all the units have been 

accepted then slide the 

Write Enable

 switch to enable mode. 

All of the status units found module have now been added and disconnection of any of them will be displayed as a 

fault on the module and on the detection part of the system.  If any 
status units are disconnected, a Lock Off activated indication will also 
be  displayed  at  the  extinguishant  module  and  all  ancillary  boards  or 

status units that remain connected.  With the 

Display Window 

Closed, 

the LCD will display:  
The Status units which are disconnected will have all their indicators flashing.   When additional status units are 
added, these will be shown on the LCD when the system is powered up.
