Setting up the System
3.3.1 Overview
AS-2000 can be run when connected to an AutroSafe operating panel
(Fire Alarm Control Panel), or standalone connected to the loop
(AutroSafe or Autroprime) with an external interface unit.
The Loop Driver Module BSD-310 / BSD-311 (one or more) must then
be connected to the loop you want to communicate with.

4.1 Overview
AS-2000 has several windows with three quite different possibilities.
Each of these windows are described in the following chapters.

Operating the Tool
The Select Loop Driver button allows you to select which loop driver
module (BSD-310 / BSD-311) or other module (for example,
Communication Module BSL-310 or Output Module BSJ-310) to
communicate with. By default, loop driver 1 (LD1) is selected, but the
user can select any other module.
Pressing the Search Loop Drivers button forces AS-2000 to find all
loop drivers.
If there are several loop drivers or other modules available, the user
must select the one to communicate with.

Page 14
Operating the Tool
Pressing the START button tells AS-2000 to find all points connected
to the selected loop driver, and present them graphically in a correct
electrical sequence.
Before starting the topology scan, the user must provide information
whether the loop contains any Autrokeeper (BN-180) units or not. This
is because Autrokeeper units require special handling during topology
detection.
Points will be presented with unique symbols for each type, and with
important information such as Production Number (PN), and the Loop
Sequence Index (LSI). In case of illegal topologies, like multiple
branch-off and loop break, these will be presented with self-explaining
symbols. For a complete list of symbols available, see chapter 5.
Each time AS-2000 finds something irregular, it will beep, and in some
cases terminate the topology scan with an error message. When
topology is completed, AS-2000 tests for break in the positive wire. If
there is a break, the position can be located automatically. This will
take less than 20 seconds.
The scanning of loop units is split into 2 logical phases. The first
phase is “Scanning topology” which is to find all units physically
connected to the detection loop.

The second phase is “retrieving data” from the loop units. Retrieving
data is divided in 5 sections, each retrieving a certain type of data.
The different phases and the type of data currently retrieved are
visible both in the upper right and lower left corner of the AS2000
window.
The animated flashlight is active until all data from the loop units has
been received.
The test will start with LSI 1 and select points on increased LSI
values, branches will be taken before it goes further on the main loop
(E.g. 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4, 5, …).

The test will turn ON and OFF the LED on one point at the time.
During the test, the next point at the loop will be selected, as
described above, then all LEDs will turn on and wait for the specified
seconds “LED on period”. Then all LEDs will turn off and wait for the
specified “LED off period” before the sequence is repeated for the
next point. The actual point in test is listed in the “Point currently in
test” box.
The Loop scan period gives the total time, and the time left, for a LED
test to finish the whole loop.
The “LED test overview” lists out the number of points to test and the
number of points that does not have any LED to test. The list box
identifies the point by LSI and type name.
The LED ON and OFF period can be changed during the test, and the
test can be stopped and started again where it stopped. Reset test will
make the test scan start over again with the first LSI.

The test result will be listed with LSI, production number (without Type
id number), point type, software version, Class setting, start and end
of test, and time used for this test, and at the end the test result.
Tested points will have text in red or green colour, depending on the
test result. Points not tested will have black text.
POINT IN TEST
This box will list the point in test, the timeout progress bar indicate the
timeout period for the actual command.
TEST STATUS
This lists the SV test status so far in the test.

This gives you the information about the loop as it is before the test
starts. (Number of units on the loop and number of units that has the
SV function implemented).
Reset
This button will reset the test result and get ready for a new test.
Start SV
This will start the SV test. It starts with LSI 0,1 and goes from there.
Stop SV
This button will terminate the SV test. It will finish the point that is
started and then terminate.
Save to file
This will save the SV test log to file. The format of the report file will be
Rich Text (Easy to read with Word and WordPad).
Note that when the START (topology scan) button is pressed, the
Report button is made inaccessible until all necessary data
for generating the report is retrieved from the loop units.
When the animated flashlight is switched off, the Report button is
enabled.

With this command, you can turn on or off the LED-indicator on a
point. Only one LED on the loop will be on at the same time, so when
you choose to turn a LED on, AS-2000 automatically turns off all other
LED’s.
AddtoSMVCurves
With this command the user can set which points to be selected for
the SMVCurves window. In the SMVCurves window, up to 4 curves
could be presented at the same time, so the user has to select which
one of these 4 to associate with the selected point.

Four detectors are drawn in green at the bottom of the window. These
detectors will change color, depending on which condition they are in:

There are two steps that has to be done to be able to watch a point’s
SMV-curve.
The easiest and most common used, is to enter the topology window,
and right click at the point you want to select. In the Popup menu that
appears, select AddtoSMVCurves (see chapter 4.2.13), and choose
one detector curve to assign the point to.

With this selector, you can switch between showing actual (instant)
values, minimum or maximum values. Selection is done by clicking
the radio-button next to the mode you want to watch. Minimum values
are calculated from the moment AS-2000 was started, or since the

Examples of Special Topologies
When more than one point powers up at the same time, AS-2000 has
to guess which one belongs to the ‘main loop’, and which one is a
branch off.
If AS-2000 comes to a break in the loop wire, it will swap the last
assumption (main loop and branch-off), and continue. But if AS-2000
makes a bad guess, and the branch chosen to be the main loop
contains a new branch-off (illegal), AS-2000 has problems.

Page 33
Examples of Special Topologies
Normally, AS-2000 will find out that it has made a mistake, and switch
the last guess made. In this example, however, AS-2000 meets a
branch after LSI-2, and since a branch in a branch-off is illegal, it
assumes that this is still on the main loop, and that the last guess
(LSI-2) was correct. But as it can’t find more points on what it thinks is
the main loop, it assumes the loop has a break at this point.
As the assumed branch 1.1 is powered up, two points get powered up
at the same time at the end of the branch. This is illegal (no branch-off
in branch-off’s), so AS-2000 has to place a warning symbol there, and
stop presenting the rest of the branch.
The two points where actually the last point in what should have been
the main loop, and the ‘IN’ side of the loop driver (closed loop).
