Introduction
-
The basic operation and configuration parameters of the DX Connexion Series fire alarm control
panels can be very easily programmed using the fastrack procedure which is presented to the user
on powering up the panel for the first time. Refer to
Section 5.2 Fastrack Panel Configuration
for
more details.
-
Alternatively, panels can be programmed manually, refer to
Section 5.3 Programming Manually
,
or programmed using the DX Connexion PC Configuration Tool.
5.1.1 Site Configuration Changes
-
The entire site-specific configuration programming parameters, history log and other information is
stored in non-volatile memory. When changing any of these site parameters the user is prompted,
via the LCD, to unlock the memory before any changes can be made. Exiting the Commissioning
menu saves any changes and re-locks the memory. Editing and saving configuration changes is
controlled in software and, therefore, no hardware jumper links are involved in carrying out this
procedure.
5.1.2 Updating Software
-
The operating software for both the panel and the loop protocol driver are held in flash memory. The
panel and/or configuration software can be updated using a PC and a suitable comms lead - either
the existing MIAS communications lead (PN: 795-080) or the Isolated USB to Serial Adapter Kit
lead (PN: 020-891) may be used for this purpose.
Refer to
Section 5.4 Programming Using the
PC Configuration Tool
or
Appendix 5 How to Flash Upgrade the Panel
.
-
Further information may be provided with any software upgrade kit.
-
The jumper link, J1, located on the Base PCB, enables or disables the Flash Upgrade function.
The
jumper link must only be moved when the panel is powered down
. The JI ENABLE and
DISABLE jumper positions are shown to the right of the main illustration below:
