Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel Addressable

I. General description
The AW-AFP2188 is a new type of analog fire alarm control panel which has 324 alarm control points (detectors and modules which are characterized by fully mixed coding, non-polarity and two buses). It complies with the provisions of both Fire Alarm Control Units (GB4717-2005) and Automatic Control System for Fire Protection (GB16806-2006).
Its characteristics are as follows:
The intelligent detectors and the intelligent modules have internal microprocessors to realize digital filtering and auto-compensation functions; the data collection is true and reliable; the AW-AFP2188 control panel can carry out data processing based on fuzzy control theory and modern fire alarm theory to fundamentally avoid missing alarms and to reduce false alarms, so as to improve reliability.
The detectors have a sensitivity setup function and can adjust the alarm sensitivity according to the specific environment and their influences.
The detecting bus and the control bus share a two-wire structure and have non-polarity and fully mixed coding of the detectors and modules, and the intelligent detectors and the intelligent modules can be directly connected to them, which greatly simplifies the system wiring, engineering installation and circuit maintenance.
The system uses an AC-DC master-standby power supply system which will automatically change between the master and standby power supplies in the event of a power failure of either of the two power supplies to ensure uninterrupted operation of the system.
The AW-AFP2188 can be connected to a special mini-printer to realize real-time printing.
The AW-AFP2188 can be connected to floor fire display panels to display fire alarms by standard RS-485
The AW-AFP2188 can be connected to ten multi-line linkage control/monitoring points to control and monitor important equipment.
The AW-AFP2188 is equipped with eight bus manual control points, which makes it very easy for the user to control related equipment.
This User's Manual introduces the system's user interface, keyboard operation and function set-up.It describes these with pictures and text to make it easy for the user to master usage quickly. Other sections introduce the system structure, wiring method, technical characteristics and precautions for the AW-AFP2188 (please pay more attention to the descriptions in Precautions) for the user's reference.

 
II. Operation instructions
§1 Access to the system
§1-1 Non-password protection operations and password protection operations
The fire alarm control panel can realize both password protection operations and non-password protection operations.
In the non-password protection operation mode, the user can access the following operations without the necessity of inputting a password.
Press the numeric key 0 to display the version information;
PANEL MUTE MUTE/NORMAL;
KEYBOARD START/STOP;
Display current fire alarm;
Display faults;
Display startup/feedback.
Those operations which can only be done after a password is inputted by the user are password protection operations, including:
System setup;
Alarm setup;
Clear setup;
Manual control setup;
History Record;
Password setup;
Self-checking;
Reset;
MANUAL CONTROL PERMIT/FORBID;
GENERAL LINKAGE PERMIT/FORBID;
SOUNDER LINKAGE PERMIT/FORBID;
SOUNDER CONTROL MUTE/NORMAL.
Note: When the BUS MANUAL CONTROL ENABLE indicator is lit, the bus manual control panel is not under password protection and can be operated.
When the system is running and the KEYBOARD key is pressed, "Input password" will display on the LCD. After the correct password is inputted and the # key is pressed, the system will return to the main interface and the KEY ON/OFF indicator will be lit, which shows that the keyboard is unlocked. After that, the user can press the numeric key 1 to enter the system for system setup and query operations. There are three chances for password inputting. Pay attention to the KEY ON/OFF indicator: Keyboard operations can be done only when the indicator is on; if the indicator is off, it shows that the keyboard has been locked and it is necessary to input a password again before keyboard operations. If there are no keyboard operations within 3 minutes, the keyboard will be closed automatically and the KEY ON/OFF indicator will go out.
Factory defaults for the password:
Supervisor password: 888888
Administrator password: 666666
Attendant password: 000000
§1-2 Confirming and canceling an operation
After an operation is completed, press the # key to save the data change or the * key to cancel the operation and have the data remain unchanged. If the system is restarted following a power failure before the data change is saved, the unsaved data will be lost. It is therefore recommended to form the habit of pressing the # key frequently to save data during system setup.
Note: The system is provided with an attendant password, an administrator password and a supervisor password. The attendant can only view the set data; the administrator can operate every function when there is no fire alarm; and the supervisor can set every function in any circumstance. When the user tries to operate the functions beyond his or her authority limit, the system data will remain unchanged. Hence the user should input the right password during system setup.
§1-3 Timeout-cancel function
If the user does not press the # key for timely data saving and has not pressed any keys within three minutes when operating the system, the system will automatically cancel the entire operation, return to the main interface and lock the keyboard. In this case, the unsaved operations will be "forgotten". Hence the user should have a good plan before setting the system, so as to avoid the necessity of thinking while setting the system and to improve the reliability and efficiency of system setup.
§1-4 Configuration data input function
When the user is doing a system setup, a lot of data needs to be inputted. In order to improve the efficiency of system setup, the user can use the andkeys to input non-numeric data or use the numeric keys from 0 to 9 on the keyboard to type in numbers; when describing the position of a detector or module, the user can select four types of input methods including Digital Input, Lowercase Input, Uppercase Input or Chinese Character Location Input.
§1-5 Unlocking the keyboard and entering the main menu
To set the system and other equipment, the first thing to do is to unlock the panel keyboard by pressing the PANEL KEYBOARD key, input the correct password and finally press the # key. If the KEY ON/OFF indicator is on, it shows that the panel keyboard has been unlocked. After that, press 1 to enter the main menu of the setup function as follows.
