When the configuration is complete, the panel displays a
summary of the devices found.
To view details of the configuration, click the detail tab.
This shows the device type found at each address, and
also shows whether it was seen from Side A or Side B (to
help locate CABLE BREAKS). It also shows if the device
seen is different to the previous database [!!] (i.e. has
the device type been changed), or if it is the same as
previously configured [=]

Zone Labels
All fire alarm systems must be subdivided into zones, which represent the geographical areas of the building. The Velocity fire system
allows any number of devices to be allocated to a zone. However, it is assumed that a zone will not contain more than 32 fire detectors
and/or manual call points, since this would correspond to an unacceptably large search area. The Velocity panel has 254 zones. There is
capability in some panel models (MMP10/64 & MMP26/64) to have LED indications for the first 64 zones. When a fire is reported, the
zone number in which the fire is located is indicated on the panel touchscreen display. In addition to its numerical description, a zone
can be identified by a text label, e.g. 3rd floor west ext. If the installer associates a text label with each zone of a fire alarm system, this
will be displayed on the LCD when a fire is detected. The maximum length of the zone text label is 39 characters.
Enter the engineer password and select the ‘zone’ icon.
Press on the zone that you wish to edit.
