Fire Alarm System Limitations While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detec-

tors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. These documents can be found at http://www.systemsensor.com/html/applicat.html. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a variety of reasons:

bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.). Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-ofrise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life. IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room

as the control and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire. Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these

devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that: •

Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions such as epilepsy.

•

Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.

Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:

•

In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

•

Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.

A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If

•

Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.

•

Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.

•

Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the

detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.

AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly maintained and replaced regularly. Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control . It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control .

The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that have photo-electronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.

The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in

central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended. maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers

Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control . Disconnect all sources of power before

servicing. The control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood. CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To

ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified. This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0°C to 49°C

(32°F to 120°F) and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (non-condensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 1527° C/60-80° F. that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.

Like all solid state electronic devices this system may operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services if any problems are anticipated or encountered. Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits. Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming,

or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location. Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening

may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at any time. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the unit. Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and program-

ming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control and associated equipment. FA operation and reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

About Un-acked Event Alarm Configuration Descriptions These function manages how the Workstation software application supervises a acknowledgement of new events. In security circles, this feature is commonly known as a “Dead Man.” When enabled, this function monitors the New Event window status and activity. „ Unacked Event Timeout (3-60 Minutes) When an event appears in the New Event window a timer is started and will run for a defined time (3 – 60 min.). •

If a acknowledges an event before the timer expires, no action is taken.

•

If any other events are outstanding in the New Event window, the timer is reset and starts again; otherwise, it is canceled.

•

If the timer expires before an event is acknowledged, then a defined macro is initialized. This macro either activates or deactivates an output on the network (also defined). When the selects this macro it creates an event when the output is activated/deactivated. The output can be used to trip any external point (horn, strobe, etc.) provided by the installer. Once the acknowledges all New Events, a second defined macro is performed and that macro contains the reverse commands of the first macro.

Macro Activated on Alarm Is used to select from defined macros. For more details on defining macros, refer to “Macro Command Configuration” on page 57.

Responses Theses fields on this window allow the to modify the preset definitions that display for an event into custom responses.

Section 8 Workstation Screen Graphical Interface Management NOTE: If you are not familiar with the Workstation’s graphical interface, please refer to the “Workstation ’s Guide” on page 105 for information.

8.1 Auto-Creation of Workstation Screens, Nodes, and Points NOTE: Every Addressable Device must be represented on a Workstation screen as a point icon. If auto-create function has been disabled, meaning the check box that controls the operation has been unchecked, or if an Addressable Device has been deleted, then the first time the Addressable Device reports an event an Addressable Device will be assigned to the default Workstation screen. Device icons generated in that manner should be edited to ensure all information is complete and relocated to an appropriate Workstation screen.

8.1.1 Description The must determine how the system’s Navigation Tree (Tree) hierarchy will be organized and thus displayed after any auto-creation process takes place. The auto-creation process takes place each time a new point on the gateway is found through it reporting to Workstation with off-normal event. Refer to “Manage the Auto-Creation Process” on page 64 for information. The auto-creation process does the following. •

A parent screen is created for the gateway, a child screen for the node, a child screen under that for the points for that node.

•

It will place 64 point icons on a Workstation screen before it creates the next screen.

The Tree entries for a Workstation screen will be created, added, and named as follows: GW003 NFN Screen 1 where: – G003 is the alias name that was assigned to the gateway during its configuration. – NFN is the type of gateway. – Screen 1 is one of the enumerated screens for this gateway.

Figure 8.1 Example of Navigation Tree with Auto-Creation Process Each auto-created Tree entry, by default, will be placed in the Tree at random levels. An asterisk next to a entry’s name indicates that the auto-creation process has created the Tree entry and its name. It also indicates its position in the Tree has not been redefined by the . In the example shown in the Figure 8.1 on page 63 the G003 NFN Screen 2 can be created due to the result of G001 NFN Screen 1 having over 64 point icons created on it. In other words Screen 1 became too full and Screen 2 was auto-created with additional addressable points.

Auto-Creation of Workstation Screens, Nodes, and Points

The can organize the Navigation Tree in such a manner it will aid the with locating a specific event in a campus (site) or building. The Navigation Tree can be arranged in a parent-child hierarchical-relationship so a can, in a logical progression, “drill-down” from a site view to the floor plan of a building on that site. The Tree also shows at what level of the hierarchy an event is occurring. For an event colored-highlighted boxes appear at the left side of the Tree and correspond to the highest priority event.

Figure 8.2 Sample Navigation Tree Hierarchy

NOTE: Any and all screens can have a child screen but four (4) is the maximum of child screens allowed directly under any one screen.

8.1.2 Manage the Auto-Creation Process Restructure the Navigation Tree After the Auto-Creation Process Auto-created Workstation screens can: •

Be renamed.

•

Be cut and copied below another Tree entry.

•

Be reordered, refer to “Reordering Workstation Screens” on page 64.

•

NOT be deleted if there are point icons on the screen. Cut and copy the point icons onto another screen or just delete the points on the screen.

A Workstation screen may be recreated if the system finds a point that is not currently in the screen database and a new addressable point needs to be auto-created. „ Reordering Workstation Screens The Configuration Tool is used to reorder screens. When the Configuration Tool is open you can use a right-click on the screen in the Navigation Tree, then it can drag and drop screens to adjust the hierarchical level (i.e. “promote” a screen from child to peer, or demote the screen from peer to child). Dropping between screen levels will place the screen between those levels. After screens are moved. Navicons maintain their link to the screen. „ Reordering Workstation Screen Methods

About Database Management

9.2 About Database Management Workstation data management is accomplished using these PC Monitor choices and choices made under the Workstation Configure >Options menu.

Compact and Repair System Data This command is selected from the PC Monitor’s right click list of choices. „ Compact System Data When an entry is deleted from a database in the Workstation it is flagged as being deleted. If the next database entry to be added will fit in the deleted entry’s location, it will be stored in that location. Like most databases the Workstation database can grow larger in size over time because of unused space. The Workstation will rebuild its index file and remove the dead space in the file. This command is typically performed automatically each day, but it is recommended that a database be compacted manually any time a large portion of that database is deleted. Compacting does not delete or modify any actual data, so periodic compacting of the database is a good idea for optimal system performance. „ Repair System Data NOTE: Please Technical Services before you attempt to repair your systems data.

This command provides the option to repair databases. Damage to the database is caused by software or hardware level corruption of the database file. If some portion of the file index becomes damaged, the file will be unreadable. If this corruption does not affect the actual entries, or only a portion, the database is repairable. The repair functions reconstruct the index file, and unreference any damaged entries. Use this functions if a database file will not open properly or its information seems damaged.

Backup System Data This Workstation command provides the the options to back up all the systems databases. The operation prompts for you create a folder in which to store the system data. It is recommended you use a folder name with the current date (for example MySystemDataBackup0307-07). Any time Workstation editing is completed, it is recommended a back up the databases is performed. Backing up after each time databases are edited insures that there is a backup copy of the latest database file stored on the computer. In addition, if any changes are made that need to be undone, the backup copy can be restored. It is recommended that you store system data created in the folder you create during a system backup on an external storage device, such as a CD-ROM or server. The Workstation has a CDRW type drive and you can use CD-R or CD-RW media in it.

Workstation Event Handling Basics

10.6 Workstation Event Handling Basics Trouble in the life safety system is detected by Workstation software application and reported as off-normal events. When off-normal events that are received from a fire alarm and points are reported to the Workstation and if the Workstation is in Graphics Mode these display changes will take place if Autonavigate has been selected (refer to “Automatically Navigate on Event” on page 48). 1.

When an event(s) occur(s) the Workstation navigates to the location of the event(s) in the system and displays the highest-priority unacknowledged event by a flashing its respective icon in the Workstation screen. If there are multiple events and all unacknowledged events are taking place in the same ONYXWorks Lite system location, all unacknowledged event icons will be flashing on the Workstation screen.

2.

There could be multiple highest-priority unacknowledged events and the following will reveal them for acknowledging. a. Read the list of events in the New Events window. b. The Navigation area will display colored boxes next to the affected Navigation Tree entry.

E

Absolute Address The absolute address is the actual physical address of an addressable device on the network. An absolute address is a 14 character string that consists of a three digit node ID, a three digit subnode ID, and an 8 character (alphanumeric) point ID.

Ethernet Network communication standard using the T/IP protocol. Connects the gateway to components in the ONYXWorks Lite system.

Alias ID A 14 character name for a addressable device that is custom defined by the . Alias IDs can be used in place of Absolute IDs to make identification of the device easier for the . Alias ID is also referred to as the Display ID. B Bitmap (.BMP) Graphic file format. Basic image data is stored in the form of a grid of pixels, each with a certain color. Bitmaps are the standard method of importing and transporting image type information. Bitmap files each have a specific size in pixels. Because of this, they may degrade in quality if they are zoomed or re-sized. Files are identified with the extension *.BMP. Boolean A boolean is a binary value that is either on or off. Examples include check-boxes and other options that require one of the two settings.

Event An Event is any change in the status of an addressable device or a transfer of information between a device and either the Workstation or another device. Some of these events are considered background and housekeeping events, and are not seen by the . The events that are of primary concern to the are those identified as off-normal events. Event Printer An event printer is a dot matrix printer that connects to ONYXWorks Lite Workstation and prints all events that are annunciated at the Workstation. F Fire Alarm Event Event issued by fire protection devices such as pull-stations, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems. Floorplan Area The Floorplan Area provides the primary source of the Workstation visual and interaction with the ONYXWorks Lite system. Functional Buttons Refer to Macro Buttons.

C Child Screen Refer to Parent Screen. Command Buttons Up to eight Taskbar buttons can be configured to perform common system operations. Defined through the Configuration menu. (Separate from the Macro Buttons that appear on a specified Workstation screen.) Control Profiles Control profiles determine what addressable devices the Workstation is currently supervising. If a Workstation does not have control of a device, commands and actions relating to that device will affect only the device on that Workstation, not in the network. In order to affect a device on the network, the must have control of that addressable device. D Discrete Devices Discrete addressable devices are monitored nodes, points, and s with defined (discrete) states or conditions. These conditions are annunciated at the Workstation. For example, a pullstation either reports a normal state, an alarm state, or a trouble state. Normal state indicates normal operation, Alarm state shows that the pull-station has been activated, and a Trouble state indicates a functional problem with the device. Display ID Refer to Alias ID.

Gateway The Gateway connects the Workstation to the fire alarm network.

Macro Macros are used to define custom commands for communication with particular devices on the network. Macros can be defined to perform a variety of different commands (dependent on the point type), to one or more specified devices.

Graphics Printer The graphics printer is attached to the Workstation using the parallel port and is configured through the standard Windows® printer interface. A Graphics printer can be used to print various reports, floor plans, and lists from the Workstation. Guidance Text Guidance text is linked text associated with a specific Workstation screen. Usually this material relates to special procedures or precautions. Guidance text provides text explanations to s about what to do in special emergency situations, such as instructions for calling facility managers in case of a fire alarm. H Hardlock Key The Hardlock Key attaches to the USB port of a Workstation and provides authorization and feature information to the Workstation. A Hardlock Key is needed for each Workstation running the software. History Database Maintains a record of all events and actions that take place in the ONYXWorks Lite system. The history database can become the largest of all the database files. HVAC Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. I Information Labels An information label hyperlinks to text, pictures, video, and/or sound, to provide details about locations monitored by the ONYXWorks Lite system. These are not physical devices; they are clicked-on to display important information for the or for emergency responders. Suggested pop-ups are pictures of hazardous materials storage areas; special warnings and instructions for hazardous materials; construction area designations; and locations of emergency exits. IP Address An IP address is a unique identifier that represents a connection of a T/IP network. IP addresses are used to address individual workstations and servers on the ONYXWorks Lite system.

Macro Buttons Macro Buttons are added to the Workstation screen to perform macro functions that have been previously defined by the . These are sometimes referred to as Functional Buttons. They can be customized more than the Command Buttons that appear on the Workstation Taskbar. Member database Refer to Database. Monitoring Profiles Monitoring profiles allow the to select exactly what events are seen by the Workstation, organized based on selecting specific nodes, sub-nodes and devices. Monitoring assignments are the job of the , who creates a number of profiles that can be selected by the . Usually these profiles are created around a physical or operational structure, such as by building or by work shift. Mouse-over Window A window that pops-up a window with additional information about something on the Workstation screen when the mouse pointer is position over it. N Navicons -defined icons on the Workstation’s screen that provides a shortcut to another Workstation screen. Function is similar to hyperlinks on a web page. Navigational Buttons Refer to Navicons Node Number A node number is the ID for any given node on a network. O Off-Normal Event An off-normal event is an event which indicates activity or change in a condition that requires the attention and/or response of an . Overview The Overview provides either an overview of the currently displayed Workstation screen (without devices, buttons, or other objects).

P Paired Event Events which, after acknowledgment, still require another event to return the associated device to its original state. This second event may be initiated by the (as in the case of sending a reset to a device or ), or the original device itself (such as an alarm server which originally went off-line and is coming back on-line). Devices can send more than one off-normal event before the related return state event is sent, for example a fire may have more than one alarm state, and these will not clear until all events have cleared and the reports an all clear state.

Pull-station A pull-station is a fire related device which, when activated (generally by pulling a lever or switch) triggers an alarm at the , activating audible alarms and other pre-configured devices. S Screen Screens are the fundamental visual interface between the gateway and the . Screens are displayed in the Floor Plan Area of the main display. Each system can contain numerous screens, and screens can contain floor plans, graphics, and/or devices. Screen Database The Screen Database holds information for the backgrounds, devices, buttons, etc. for all of the Workstation screens and the gateway on the ONYXWorks Lite system.

A is a central gateway that connects a number of related devices together. For example, a fire might have smoke detectors, pull-stations, sprinkler systems, and sirens all connected at the . This also allows the Workstation to communicate directly with the instead of the individual device.

Security Alarm Event An event issued by security related devices such as motion detectors, glass break detectors, and door s.

Parent Screen In the Navigation Tree’s outline view, the highest level is the Title Screen. The Gateway, nodes, and devices that branch off of it are its Child Screens. A parent screen can have zero or many child screens. The highest level is the Title Screen; it cannot be a child.

Security Options functionality and activity are controlled by the assignment of security profiles. Each and is assigned a security profile with their system member record. Security profiles contain a list of all Workstation functions to which anyone assigned to that profile is allowed access.

Plug-In A Plug-In can be in one of two forms, either an *.EXE application or a *.CFG configuration file. Plug-In Applets are independently operating software applications. They interface with the Workstation at the local level. Configuration files act to create new menu options by defining ‘macro’ commands or sequences of information for communicating with specific devices. Configuration files may or may not launch independent applications.

Single Ended Event An event that, once it is received, leaves the sending device in the same condition that it was in originally.

Point Icons An defined graphic element on a Workstation screen. Each represents a physical addressable device on the network. Point ID The point identification (ID) is the eight character alphanumeric address suffix for the monitored point reported by the node. The Point ID for each device must match the point ID reported by the node. The point ID makes up the last 8 characters of a device’s absolute address. Pop-Up Menu Pop-Up Menus provide the with device specific information and controls. The device pop-up menu is activated by right-clicking-on any addressable device. The menu that appears depends on the point type, situation, and the access permissions of the . Some options are common to all addressable devices, while others have functions that are point type specific.

Site A site is the physical location being protected by an ONYXWorks Lite system installation, i.e. the building itself. (Refer to the Gateway definition for the building’s virtual organization within the network.) Site Annunciation Icons Site Annunciation icons are special point icons that represent the overall condition of a site monitored on the network. Site Annunciation icons have two states: normal and offnormal. The state of a Site annunciation icon is dependent on the condition of the devices at the site it represents. If all devices at the represented site are in normal condition, then the site annunciation icon displays a normal condition. If any device at the site reports an off-normal condition, then the site annunciation icon is changed to be displayed in an offnormal condition. Supervisory Alarm Event A Supervisory alarm is a special alarm to indicate action that has functionally disabled a key device (for either fire protection or security). An example of this is the event generated if the water valve is shut off for a sprinkler system.

T Taskbar This area of the Workstation screen displays configured command buttons and openwindow tabs. The Taskbar is located between the Navigation Tree and the Workstation’s Toolbar.

Workstation Workstation is the standard name for a computer running the ONYXWorks Lite Workstation software application. This computer also runs the Gateway software and houses thee network card.

T/IP The protocol used by the Workstation level of the ONYXWorks Lite network that provides communication among components. Title Screen Refer to Parent Screen. Toolbar The area of the Workstation screen directly below the Main Menu, providing icons for commonly used functions. Trouble Event A Trouble Event indicates a functional problem with a addressable device on the network. Examples of trouble events include a device or Workstation going off-line, a battery low or no power event, a dirty head on a smoke detector, etc. U UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply. A UPS is used between the building’s power source and the Workstation and provides battery backup. A UPS will allow the Workstation to continue to operate as usual for a period of time determined by the UPS’s rating. Database The Database holds all of the information pertaining to of the ONYXWorks Lite system. This includes s and s with access to the monitored gateway. V Vector Graphics Vector Graphics are based on lines, boxes, curves, and fills between discrete points in two dimensional space. Because all objects are described as sets of points, lines, curves, and fills that can be recreated at any scale, vector drawings are freely scalable over an unlimited range with no loss of resolution. This makes vector drawings ideal for floor plan layouts and detailed design work. W Windows® MetaFile (.WMF) Graphic files that hold vector drawing information, discrete points, lines, and curves. *.WMF files are used in the Workstation predominately for importing floor plans. Because the *.WMF format is vector-based, the information in WMF files can be re-sized without loss of resolution and quality. When dealing with floor plans in the Workstation, this is very important as it allows the floor plan to be zoomed in without degrading resolution of the lines. Files are identified with the extension *.WMF.

Appendix B: Details about Event Data B.1 Event Data NOTE: All data is current as of publication however, new events may be added in the future.

Each event within the ONYXWorks Lite system has its own unique properties. These properties include normal and off-normal conditions, abbreviations for the event, color codes, and the priority of the event. Included in this index are tables that provide the information in a simplified format.

B.2 Event Priority Priority is the most important of the event specific information because it affects which events are annunciated by the Workstation first. Knowing the priority of events provides an understanding about the severity of various events, and how events interrelate. Priority is ordered in groups as defined by UL/ULC. Each event within a group has equal priority. These groups are (highest to lowest) Fire Alarm and Process Alarm, Supervisory and Fire Trouble Signals, Holdup and Burglar Alarms, and Other Signals. Each event within the ONYXWorks Lite system has a corresponding color. This color coding is used when displaying the event on-screen, when viewing events in history manager, and various other applications throughout the software. Table B.2, “Event Color Coding” shows each event type and its corresponding color. Keep in mind that this lists off-normal events only. Each off-normal event has a corresponding normal event. Every Normal discrete event within the Workstation is displayed with the color gray when in Graphic Mode. NOTE: Workstation default color codes are discussed here. s can customize these color choices if required by their Authority Having Jurisdiction. Always document custom color schemes for future reference.

C.1.6 Workstation Floorplan Area The Workstation floorplan area title identifies which area of an ONYXWorks Lite system that is currently being displayed on the Workstation’s display. The Workstation floorplan area usually has a building floor plan that is background layer and serves as the primary source for visual the location of an off-normal event in an ONYXWorks Lite system which corresponds to the point’s (device) location in a building. The point types can be a fire alarm control , fire protection devices, security devices, and cameras.

C.1.7 Graphic Elements Descriptions Point Icons These graphic elements represent a physical addressable device on the system. Examples of point icons are fire s and fire protection devices. A name of the point displays above the icon and at times its status is displayed below it. If the point’s status becomes off-normal, its icon will flash and information about its status will be displayed below it. Clicking on an icon displays a box with detailed information across the bottom of the Workstation screen. The information reflects the current state of the associated icon.

Navicons These graphic elements represent a method to navigate between Workstation floorplan areas to find points or an event. They are used exclusively to find an event if in the Autonavigate feature has not been set to autonavigate to an off-normal event. Each Workstation floorplan area (parent) has one Navicon that hyper-links to each of its respective subordinate (child screen) Workstation floorplan areas (refer to the Navigation Tree hierarchy). Navicons change color to match the off-normal event that is reported to the Workstation. They are used to locate an event on parent or child screen; follow the same colored Navicon to find an event.

Information Labels These graphic elements represent important information for the you during monitoring. That information can be a photograph, a text document, a video, or a sound clip. Information Labels use an asterisk to identify them as such. One suggested use is to provide firefighters with an image of hazardous materials stored on-site. Factory defined and assigned control commands are available for all point icons, navicons, and information labels. Those commands are accessed with right-clicks-on its Navigation Tree entry or right-clicks-on its icon. NOTE: Control commands are available only when you have a node control and security profile that allows it.

NOTE: Only one Workstation can control any single system device at a given time. Taking control of a device removes control from the previous supervisor of that device.

C.1.9 New Event When an event is reported to a Workstation, the Workstation will display the event information in the “New Events” area and sound an audible alarm at the station. The Workstation will autonavigate to the Workstation floorplan area that has the highest priority event. New Events are events that have been reported to and received by the Workstation but not yet acknowledged by you. Once you acknowledge an event, the event moves to the Acknowledged Events list. New Events are displayed in this manner: •

If the event is acknowledged at the “Acked” will be displayed prefixing the event in the New Events list.

•

If the Workstation has node control of the point a colored box will display to the left of the event in the Navigation Tree.

•

If the event is unreliable (meaning it was reported while a gateway or node was in fault) an * will be displayed prefixing the event in the New Events list.

C.1.12 Event Annunciator Icon Event Annunciation Icons display in a highlighted priority related-color when an event is reported to the Workstation. They are always visible and remain in a highlighted priority related-color until all off-normal conditions have been resolved. You can identify these icons by placing the mouse’s cursor over the icon and reading the hint that is displayed. The following describes the types of events that are reported.

110

•

Fire - Events issued by fire protection related devices such as pull-stations, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems.

•

PreAlarm - Events that indicate that a point is close to declaring an alarm, giving the facility manager opportunity to address the problem before an emergency develops.

•

Security - Events issued by security related devices such as motion detectors, glass break detectors, and door s.

•

Supervisory - Alarms that are special alarms to indicate action that has functionally disabled a key device (for either fire protection or security) . An example of this is the event generated if the water valve is shut off for a sprinkler system.

•

Troubles - Events that indicate a functional problem with a device on the network. Examples of trouble events include a device or Workstation going off-line, a battery low or no power event, a dirty head on a smoke detector, etc.

•

Advise - A condition that is an istrative event, internal to the ONYXWorks Lite system. This is not a life-safety or security event, but an internal warning of a condition that may need someone’s attention—such as the history file reaching 100,000 entries.

•

Disabled - Indicates all disabled points on the system.

•

In the Navigation Tree, the adjacent colored box will vanish, provided there are no other offnormal conditions on those Workstation floorplan areas.

•

The sound should not be sounding from the Workstation. If a sound is still being emitted then more events are present in the system.

Event Handling It is useful to note these behaviors: •

When an event is acknowledged at the Fire Alarm Control (FA), “Acked” is displayed prefixing the event in the New Events list on the Workstation.

•

When a with sufficient Security Profile acknowledges an event at the Workstation, the event is automatically acknowledged at the Fire Alarm Control (FA).

•

If the Workstation has node control of the point a colored box will display to the left of the event in the Navigation Tree.

•

If the event is unreliable (meaning it was reported while a gateway or node was in fault) an * will be displayed prefixing the event in the New Events list.

•

When an event returns to a normal state, it is removed from the New Event listing.

C.2.3 Managing Events An event is defined as any change in the status of a device or a transfer of information between a device and the Workstation or between two devices. Some of these events are considered background and housekeeping events and are not seen by you on the Workstation’s display. Those background and housekeeping events can be viewed with the View >Background Activation command. The View >Armed/Disarmed Points command may be used to view events also. The events that are of primary concern to you are off-normal events. An off-normal event indicates activity or change that requires your attention and/or response. Refer to Appendix B, “Details about Event Data” for information about events.

About New Events Priority Rating In the New Events window, new events are listed according to the date and time that they occurred and they are further defined by the highest to lowest priority of the event. For example: •

A” fire alarm event” with the same time and date as a “trouble event” will display higher in the list.

•

A “fire alarm event” with the more recent date and time will be listed above a “fire alarm event” with older date and time.

About Off-Normal Events •

A change in condition or activation of a monitoring device (Motion Detectors, Smoke Alarms, etc.).

•

A door is ajar.

•

A node becomes disconnected from the network.

•

A Monitoring device is disconnected from its monitoring node.

„ Single Off-Normal Events A single event that, once it is received, leaves the sending device in the same condition that it was in originally. Single events do not represent a lasting change of condition. A single event is removed from the Acknowledged Events list after it is acknowledged. „ Paired Off-Normal Events If a single event is paired with another event, one event can move to the Acknowledged Events list after it is acknowledged, but it remains in the Acknowledged Events list until its paired event is acknowledged. Once an acknowledge to the related pair events is performed, both events are removed from New Events and added to the Acknowledged Events list. Fire alarms actually latch a FA and require that the be reset. Therefore, alarm states will remain in the New Event list until the fire alarm control (FA) associated with the alarm states it is reset. Alarm-off states that have been acknowledged will clear once the is reset and all the ’s devices have returned to a normal condition.
