Standard Event Handling Procedure

1. Fire alarm handling

Follow the on-site fire safety plan

Press Mute Panel to mute this device

View alarm area/location

on-site verification

Press Silence Alarms to silence

After the fire is resolved, press Reset to reset

The points that are still alarming can be disabled by Alarm Disable, and reactivated after repair

2. Delayed fire alarm handling

PROLONG (Extended Delay) or ACTIVATE (Immediate Activation)

The manual alarm button usually skips the delay and is directly linked

3. Pre alarm/Early Warning

Mute

View Region/Location

on-site verification

Accept alerts according to Accept

Reset to restore normal operation

4. Fault handling

View fault types (detector, circuit, communication, equipment)

Accept faults according to Accept

Notify maintenance personnel to carry out repairs

Reset and clear the fault after repair

Partition logic (core architecture)

Detection Zone DZ: Detector/Manual Alarm Combination, Trigger Source

Alarm Zone AZ: Sound and Light Equipment Group, triggered by the Detection Zone

Operation area OZ: Operator permission range, can be nested in multiple layers

Appendix Key Content

Action Digits: Shortcut keys for numbers (display point, beep, activate, extend, accept)

Glossary: DZ, AZ, OZ, FAD, FARE, FWRE, FPE, SOLAS, Dual Safety

Complete menu tree: Full functional hierarchical structure diagram

Key issues

Question 1: What are the operation scopes corresponding to the four levels of permissions in the AutroSafe system? What conditions must be met to reset the system?

answer:

Level 1: No permission, only view, mute, light check;

Level 2: Key permissions, mute, reset, view points, basic shielding;

Level 3: Password permissions, maintenance, testing, upgrading, configuration modification;

Level 4: Specialized tools for hardware repair and firmware replacement.

The reset must first perform Silence Alarms silencing, otherwise the reset is invalid.

Question 2: What is the delay mechanism of Delayed Action? What are the two key operations that operators can perform? Is the manual alarm button subject to delay restrictions?

answer:

Delay is divided into T1 initial delay and T2 extended delay, and the arrival time automatically activates the output.

Operator can execute: Activate immediately, PROLONG extends delay.

The manual alarm button is usually not limited by delay and can be directly linked immediately.

Question 3: What events can be recorded by the logging function in the Service menu? How to only view fire alarms for a specified date and area?

answer:

Recordable: fire alarm, warning, early warning, malfunction, blocking/lifting, user operation, testing, all events.

Set in Log Setup:

Set Read Mode to From time;

Enter the start and end date and time;

Read Filter: Select Detection Zone and specify the area;

Enter Fire Alarms to filter and view.
