Introduction
Quadnet / Duonet OSP is the name given to the high level software package written to enable the
individual configuration of the Duonet and Quadnet fire alarm systems. The Windows based program
allows the system to be set up for each application. This includes the setting of detection modes,
subsequent actions to be taken and individual sound patterns. Note that whichever panel is used, there is
no difference in the mode of operation of the program.
Much thought has taken place to implement operations in as simple a way as possible whilst not losing
flexibility through over-simplification. Hence, complicated arrangements with three alarm stages may be
arranged as required in order to tailor system operation to the client’s building or safety procedures.
Tools are also included to enable you to create reports and specifications from your programming,
including both configuration and event log reports.
Getting Started
System Requirements
The Quadnet / Duonet OSP configuration software is available on the Fike Software CD. In order to run the
program you will require the following:
• A desktop or laptop PC running the Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system (32-bit

versions) with at least 1GB RAM.
o The PC must have a CD drive in order to install your software.
o The PC must have a USB port for connection to the panel.
• A USB interface lead for connection of the PC to the control panel.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
OSP v3.xx must not be used with panels prior to v3.00.
6
Physical Connections
The USB Interface lead connects between the USB port on the control panel and any USB port on the PC.
Software Installation
In order to commence installation, insert the OSP CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. The disc will
automatically run and open up a browser style menu screen containing a number of different directories,
including one that is titled ‘Software’. Open this directory and then open the directory titled ‘Fike Quadnet
v30x’ (or Duonet OSP 3.0x.exe) - as the version may vary, simply choose the latest available. Run the
‘Setup.exe’ file and follow the instructions while the software loads onto your hard disk drive.
The software will be installed in the following location:
C:\ Program Files \ Fike \ QuadnetOSP \
or
C:\ Program Files \ Fike \ DuonetOSP \
A shortcut from the file titled ‘Quadnet OSP 3.0x’. (or ‘Duonet OSP 3.0x’) may then be copied onto the
desktop for ease of access, and labelled with the correct version number to prevent confusion with possible
future releases, as shown below.
Note that USB drivers for the Quadnet / Duonet will have to be installed before the panel can be connected
to the USB port.
7
Data Transfer.
The Quadnet / Duonet is defined as an Addressable Intelligent Detector System, or an Addressable
Fire Detection and Alarm System with Independent Distributed Intelligence. Distributed intelligence
signifies that the signal processing is spread throughout the system in the form of a microprocessor in
every device, in order that the decisions about fires and faults are taken within the detector itself.
The detector is capable of being remotely programmed for different modes of detection, sound patterns,
etc. Thus we have two separate data transfer functions - get-config / re-config between devices and control
panel, and upload / download between control panel and computer.
The get-config / re-config functions are operated from the control panel at ‘Access level 3 (Engineer)’. If
you have not entered Engineer mode at the PC, the functions will not work and the PC will display warning
messages. Generally the configuration must be loaded to the control panel (get-config), before any upload
to computer, and vice versa - the configuration must be loaded to the devices (re-config) after any
download from computer to control panel.
If a device is to be replaced with a similar type, then after re-initialising the loop the system must be
reconfigured. The control panel memory holds the system configuration data, so in the event of a device
replacement, a PC is not necessarily required to reconfigure the device.
8

the bottom of the screen. OK is pressed to accept any changes to the data that you make. Cancel is
pressed to leave the feature without saving any data changes.
11
‘File’ Menu
The ‘File’ menu contains the following options:
New Site
This feature will create a ‘New’ configuration file with extension (*.site).
This file type may be classed as ‘unlocked’, allowing modifications to be made to the loop configuration.
Note that a site may consist of more than one panel.
Open Site
This feature will open an existing, or ‘Old’ configuration file. This function is also repeated in the form of an
on-screen button in the toolbar immediately below the file menu.
i.e.
This file type may be classed as ‘locked’, allowing no modifications to be made to the loop configuration.
Thus you are prevented from downloading an incorrect file into a system.
Save As
This feature will save configuration file to the file name and address of your choice. This function is also
repeated in the form of an on-screen button in the toolbar immediately below the file menu.
i.e.
Print

Engineer Notes
This feature allows the Engineer to enter assorted notes in free-form format. The file can be saved in “.txt”
format by pressing “Save”.
15
Panel Integrity Check
Site Config Report
The Site Config Report option allows the creation of text files from your configuration, in the *.txt format.
The following screen offers options that may be ticked so that you can select which details are included in
the site report.
Before the report is shown, the engineer is prompted to enter a name.
16
A typical report is shown below.
The site report file may be saved in the format ‘file_name’.txt by utilising the ‘Save As’ command in the File
menu at the top of the screen. The file may be opened in Microsoft WordPad or imported into Microsoft
Word. However, some fonts will cause the tabulation to alter when using Microsoft Word. The print function
may be used directly from the ‘File’ menu, from within Word or WordPad.
Event Log Report
The Event Log Report option allows the creation of text files from any event logs which have previously
been uploaded from the panel. The files will be in the *.txt format. The following screen offers options that
may be ticked so that you can select which details are included in the event log report.
17
A typical report is shown below.
18
As with the site report file, the event log report may be saved in the format ‘file_name’.txt by utilising the
‘Save As’ command in the File menu at the top of the screen. The file may be opened in Microsoft
WordPad or imported into Microsoft Word. However, some fonts will cause the tabulation to alter when
using Microsoft Word. The print function may be used directly from the ‘File’ menu, from within Word or
WordPad.
Network Event Log Report
A network event log report may be made in the same way as an event log report. Note that the options
which can be selected are fewer as this event log only covers network events.
19
Default Zone to Zone Cause & Effects
This feature can be used to reset the default Zone to Zone cause and effect data for the currently selected
panel to the original factory settings. An “Are You Sure” prompt is given.
For each of the 128 detection zones, the settings will be as follows
Group 1 – ALL Zones (1-28) selected. Links for Smoke alarm /MCP/heat/input set to Alarm stage 3. No
delays used.
Group 2 – NO Zones selected. No links set.
Engineer Functions
Certain functions are provided for use by qualified engineers only. These have the drastic effect of deleting
all zone to zone Cause and Effect or deleting all point to point Cause and Effect and so they are password
protected.
Before any of the Engineer Functions can be used, the engineer must enter an AL4 security code.
20
Engineer Controls
The Engineer Controls option is for the use of our engineers only. They can access this feature using a
special security code.

program. An example is shown below.
21
Upload Data from Panel

Note that before uploading panel data, a site data file (either newly created or an existing file) must have
been opened on the PC.
Prior to an Upload of the configuration from the control panel to the PC, or a Download of the configuration
from PC to the control panel, it is necessary for the panel to be in ‘Access Level 3 (Engineer Mode)’. The
panel must be connected to the PC via a USB lead.
Note that if the panel is left for a period of time, it will log itself out of Access Level 3 (Engineer Mode) so it
is best to check that it is in Engineer mode before doing anything at the PC.
The upload button is found to the left of the main screen
Add
The Add button on the upload screen allows you to add a new panel to the current configuration on the PC.
This feature is also available on the “Panel Details” screen available from the “Panel Details” button.
Delete
The Delete button on the upload screen allows you to delete a panel to the current configuration on the PC.
This feature is also available on the “Panel Details” screen available from the “Panel Details” button.
22
Copy
The Copy button on the upload screen allows you to copy the details from an existing panel to a new panel
number on the PC. This feature is also available on the “Panel Details” screen available from the “Panel
Details” button.
In the above example, we have selected Panel 001 from that site and the data from that panel will be
copied into Panel 008 in our configuration. The data may only be copied to a panel number that does not
already exist in the configuration. If you want to copy the data to an existing panel, the existing panel
should first be deleted using the Delete button.
Import
The Import button allows you to browse for a DIFFERENT site and copy the details of a panel on that site
to any panel number on the PC. This feature is also available on the “Panel Details” screen available from
the “Panel Details” button.
In the above example, we have picked a different site named Test 30-06-11.site. We have selected Panel
001 from that site and the data from that panel will be copied into Panel 003 in our configuration. It does
not matter whether Panel 003 already exists in our configuration, but if it does, any data will be overwritten.
23
Upload Data
The Upload Data button allows you to upload data from the currently connected panel. A progress bar is
shown while the data is uploading. If there is a problem, a warning will be given. If this happens, you should
disconnect the USB and re-connect it before trying again. Also remember that the panel must be in
Engineer Mode.
Note that you must select a panel in the PC configuration which will be given the uploaded data. When this
has been selected you can press the Accept Upload button as shown in the example screen below.
If the panel that you have chosen already has data assigned to it, a prompt as follows will be given so that
you can change your mind.
Upload Event Log
It is possible to upload the event log from a panel. It is necessary for the panel to be in ‘Access Level 3
(Engineer Mode)’ and the panel must be connected to the PC via a USB lead.
You can save event logs with different dates and times from more than one panel on the PC.
Event logs can be viewed at a later date and a hard copy made using the Event Log Report feature in the
Tools menu.
24
Upload Network Event Log
It is possible to upload the network event log from a panel. It is necessary for the panel to be in ‘Access
Level 3 (Engineer Mode)’ and the panel must be connected to the PC via a USB lead.
You can save network event logs with different dates and times on the PC.
Network event logs can be viewed at a later date and a hard copy made using the Network Event Log
feature in the Tools menu.
Download Data to Panel
Prior to a Download of configuration data from PC to the control panel, it is necessary for the panel to be in
‘Access Level 3 (Engineer Mode)’. The panel must be connected to the PC via a USB lead.
Note that if the panel is left for a period of time, it will log itself out of Access Level 3 (Engineer Mode) so it
is best to check that it is in Engineer mode before doing anything at the PC.
The download button is found to the left of the main screen. On pressing it, the following screen is
obtained.
The Download button on this screen allows you to download configuration data from a selected panel in the
PC configuration to the panel to which the PC is connected. A progress bar is shown while the data is
downloading (as shown below).
25
If there is a problem, a warning will be given. If this happens, you should disconnect the USB and re-
connect it before trying again. Also remember that the panel must be in Engineer Mode.
It is recommended that you do not use the Cancel Download button once downloading has begun.
When the downloading is complete, press the Finish button.
Panel Details
Clicking on the ‘Panel Details’ button brings up the following screen.
26
Note that there are eight tabs on this screen, each of which is described below.
Panel Summary
On this tab you can use the four buttons at the bottom of the screen to add/delete panels from the
configuration data as follows.
Add
The Add button on the upload screen allows you to add a new panel to the current configuration on
the PC. This feature is also available on the “Upload Data” screen available from the “Upload from
Control Panel” button.

The Copy button on the upload screen allows you to copy the details from an existing panel to a
new panel number on the PC. This feature is also available on the “Upload Data” screen available
from the “Upload from Control Panel” button.
In the above example, we have selected Panel 001 from that site and the data from that panel will
be copied into Panel 002 in our configuration. The data may only be copied to a panel number that
does not already exist in the configuration. If you want to copy the data to an existing panel, the
existing panel should first be deleted using the Delete button.
Import
The Import button allows you to browse for a DIFFERENT site and copy the details of a panel on
that site to a panel number in the current configuration. This feature is also available on the
“Upload Data” screen available from the “Upload from Control Panel” button.
27
In the above example, we have picked a different site named Test 30-06-11.site. We have selected Panel
001 from that site and the data from that panel will be copied into Panel 003 in our configuration. It does
not matter whether Panel 003 already exists in our configuration, but if it does, any data will be overwritten.
Panel Details
The Panel Details tab is shown below.
In the top section you can select the panel and the details of the selected panel will appear in the bottom
half of the screen where they may be edited.
Panel Modes
The available panel modes are
Quadnet (with up to 4 loops)

Duonet (with up to 2 loops)
Repeater (with no loops) – this is purely to relay information to remote parts of a panel
network.
Panel Description
A panel description (up to 14 characters) may be allocated to the panel.
Loop Details
In the Loop Details section the quantity of the different types of devices on each loop are shown.

The control panel access codes may be changed as required on this screen.
The default codes for Access Level 2A (user), Access Level 2B (user) and Access Level 3
(engineer) are shown above. They may be changed to any combination of 4 digits.
Upload and download may only be carried out from Access Level 3 (engineer). Changing the
engineer code will restrict access to those unauthorised to make such changes.
A Back Door code can be provided if the codes chosen are lost. If this is required, contact your
supplier with the following information:
1. The control panel serial number

2. The control panel software version number
3. The site name and details
4. Your details
5. Written authorisation from the legal owner of the system to request back door
codes for the system.
Delays & Timers
The Delays and Timers tab is shown below.
29
Alarm Delays
Four alarm delays can be programmed with values between 0:00 and 10:00 minutes.
An Alarm Confirmation delay may be set up so that when an alarm occurs, it is not immediately
reported. The system will wait until the end of the delay time and then check that the alarm is still
present. If it has cleared, the device which was in alarm will be reset and no further action need be
taken.
The delay time for alarm confirmation can be programmed from 1:00 – 4.00 minutes. You must

You can right click on fields as follows to edit the fields. The selection lists below have a tick by the default
values.
Type (only available with NEW data)
Zone (only available with NEW data)
A list of all 128 zones is displayed (128 is default)
Smoke Detector (if applicable for the type)
35
Heat Detector (if applicable for the type)
Alarm Stages for Sounders (3 Stages) (if applicable for the type)
The system may operate with a total of two out of three Alarm Stages where the sound pattern selected at
‘Sound Stage X’ will operate.
Alarm Description Actions Next Stage

Stage
1. Alarm Confirmation Allows local warning and automatic reset of an Either 2 or 3
unconfirmed alarm from a smoke detector. The system
does not enter a Fire state until the alarm is confirmed.
2. Alert Early warning stage. Sounders only are activated. 3
3. Evacuate Full alarm condition, sounders and remote fire outputs are -
activated.
Volume Levels for Sounders (3 stages) (if applicable for the type)
AC (Alarm Confirmation)
The Multipoint detector/sounder incorporates ‘Alarm Confirmation Technology’ to reduce unwanted

alarms. This enables a detector to generate a local warning in response to the presence of smoke, allowing
any persons within the area to react accordingly. If the presence of smoke is removed within the Alarm
Confirmation Delay time then the sounder will reset automatically, but if the smoke presence continues
after the alarm confirmation delay time, then an alarm will be generated.
36
The activation of any Heat detector (even in the same device as the smoke detector in ‘Alarm
Confirmation’) generates an instant alarm (depending on the programming of the system ‘Cause & Effect’).
An ‘Alarm Stage 1’ sound pattern must be used for every multipoint detector requiring the ‘Alarm
Confirmation Delay’.

Device Details - Loop Loading Screen

In order to allow a method of calculating the maximum loop loading that the system will support, each
device has a rating assigned in Device Loading Units (DLUs). A maximum of 450 DLU are permissible on
the loop. This relates to the load presented in alarm and does not necessarily affect an input device.
The Quadnet / Duonet OSP programming software v3.00 or later (v3.04 or later required for the latest
devices) automatically keeps control of the quantity and will provide warnings if the limits are exceeded.
The main types of current (and earlier) devices and their loadings are listed below.

Loop Load Calculations
To get details about the DLU values, use the “Loop Load Calculations” button on the Device Details screen.
A typical display is shown below.
The lower section of the screen provides a summary of attributes for the highlighted device. Note that the
device serial number is located in the lower left hand corner of this box.
Versions of the Quadnet / Duonet OSP before V2.02 did not identify the subtype. V2.02 and above of the
Quadnet / Duonet OSP uses the type and serial number to calculate the subtype and all devices produced
from March 2010 can be identified as well as many previous ones. However, it is not always possible to do
this with early devices (as noted in the table above).
The loop loading calculations box gives a running total of the DLU values for the alarm stages on each
loop, together with a breakdown of each loop by device type. If any Alarm Stage DLU totals exceed 450,
they are printed in bold red text and a warning is given on leaving the screen so that the system can be
reconfigured with lower volume stages 1-3 or possibly with devices deleted or put onto a different loop.
Reset DLU button
This button will reset the subtypes of any devices which have had their sub-types reconfigured by the user.
The sub-types of any such devices will be returned to the default type.

Versions of the Quadnet / Duonet OSP before V2.02 did not identify the subtype. Quadnet / Duonet OSP
v2.02 and later use the device type and serial number to calculate the subtype. With this version all devices
produced from March 2010 can be identified as well as many previous ones. It is possible to override the
detected subtype on the “Manual Loop Loading Calculations” screen by highlighting the subtype field and
right-clicking on the field. A list of available subtypes for that type of device is then shown. Note however,
that these override values are NOT sent to the panel and will be lost the next time the loop data is
uploaded from the panel.
Overriding the subtype is only to be used when the correct item cannot be automatically detected by the
system. This feature should be used with caution and on the advice of Fike technical support. It must not
be used to artificially reduce the configured loop loading as this could have an adverse effect on the system
during an alarm condition,

Cause & Effect

Many systems simply operate all sounders and fire protection outputs immediately following the activation
of any device. This is known as ‘Instant Alarms’.
Sometimes it may be desirable to delay the alarm response, or maybe only to sound the alarms in a certain
area, and this may well depend upon the area of origin of the activated device. This is known as ‘Phased
Evacuation’.
The ‘Cause & Effect’ area allows programming of different types of zonal based ‘Phased Evacuation’.
The flow chart below explains how the Quadnet / Duonet ‘Cause & Effect’ operates:
57
Clicking on the ‘Cause & Effect’ button will bring you to the following screen.
Zone to Zone Cause and Effect
For the majority of simple systems we recommend that a full alarm (stage 3) should be given in all zones
for any input type (one out, all out).
If any different ‘Cause & Effect’ actions are required then follow the instructions in the “Cause and Effect
Wizard” which can be found on the Alarm Stage 1 tab. These will remind you of the steps to carry out as
listed below.
The initial tab shown on the Zone to Zone Cause and Effect Screen is a summary. Alarm zones 1-5 have
been selected for Alarm Stage 1. Cause and Effect links have been set up in Group 1. Group 2 has not
had any links set up.
Please note that only two Groups of Zone to Zone Cause and Effect can be set up. Groups 3-6 are
currently not available.
Step 1 – Select Detection Zone
Select the detection zone which contains the inputs which will CAUSE the outputs to be turned on at the
top of the screen.
As there are 128 possible detection zones, a tickbox “Hide Empty Detection Zones” has been provided. If
ticked, this will remove all “empty” detection zones from the pull-down zone list, i.e. all detection zones
which do not contain input devices. This makes selecting the correct zone easier to carry out.
Note that you can edit a description for the selected zone. The default text provided is of the form ZONE
xxx.
58
Step 2 – Select Alarm Stage 1 Tab Alarm Conformation
Select the Alarm Stage 1 tab. A typical screen is shown below.
Note that there is a “Hide Empty Alarm Zones for Alarm Stage 1” tick box. If this is ticked only zones which
have output devices in them will be included in the list. If this box is NOT ticked, all 128 zones are shown
(as in the above screen) and you will have to use the scroll bar to see them all. Note that zones which are
not empty (i.e. with output devices in them) are shown with their description underlined. In the above
example, these are zones 1 to 5.
Step 3 – Select Alarm Zones for Alarm Stage 1
Put ticks in the boxes for the alarm zones to be affected when the chosen detection zone (zone 1 in our
example) has an input in alarm.
There are four buttons which may make ticking the boxes easier.
Select All Zones – This will tick all 128 boxes.
Select No Zones – This will remove the ticks from all 128 boxes.
Select All Alarm Zones – This will put ticks in all the non-empty alarm zone tickboxes – i.e. the
ones that have output devices in them and which have their descriptions underlined. In the above
Select No Alarm Zones – This will remove all ticks from all the non-empty alarm zone tickboxes –
i.e. the ones that have output devices in them and which have their descriptions underlined. In the
above example, these are zones 1 to 5.
59
Step 4 – Select Group 1 Tab
A summary of all the currently programmed links is given in the box labelled Link.
Step 5 – Select Links for Group 1
There are 3 link types as follows
Smoke alarm
MCP/heat/input
nd
2 smoke alarm
These links are like filters, and only the options selected will allow a following action to happen (i.e.
sounders on). The Alarm Stage chosen here will cause the sounders activated to operate with the sound
pattern set earlier in the Device Details screen.
You can program which alarm stages are to result when your chosen link type occurs.
The options are
Alarm stage 2 – Delay 1– Alarm Stage 3

Alarm stage 2 – No Delay
Alarm stage 3 – No Delay
Note that the 4 possible delay lengths are configured in the Panel Details Delays and Timers tab. This must
be done before any delay type is selected here. Otherwise an error message will be given.
nd
Note that you cannot select both Smoke alarm and 2 smoke alarm simultaneously for your links.
Use the summary box labelled Link at the top to check your selections before proceeding.
60
Step 6 – Select Alarm Zones for Group 1
Select the required Alarm Zones for Group 1. These are the areas in which the sounders and outputs will
operate when a Group 1 link is activated. Alarm Zones left unchecked will not operate.
Put ticks in the boxes for the alarm zones to be affected when the links from the chosen detection zone
(zone 1 in our example) cause further alarm stages to occur.
There are four buttons which may make ticking the boxes easier.
Select All Zones – This will tick all 128 boxes.
Select No Zones – This will remove the ticks from all 128 boxes.
Select All Alarm Zones – This will put ticks in all the non-empty alarm zone tickboxes – i.e. the
ones that have output devices in them and which have their descriptions underlined. In the above
Select No Alarm Zones – This will remove all ticks from all the non-empty alarm zone tickboxes –
i.e. the ones that have output devices in them and which have their descriptions underlined. In the
above example, these are zones 1 to 5.
Use the summary box labelled Link at the top to check your selections before proceeding.
Step 7 – Select Group 2 Tab (Optional)
This is done in the same way as Step 4 above.
Step 8 – Select Links for Group 2 (Optional)
Step 9 – Select Alarm Zones for Group 2 (Optional)
Step 10 – Save Data
Data for the detection zone is saved by clicking on OK. Cancel can be used to leave the screen without
saving data.

As well as configuring Zone to Zone cause and effects, it is also possible to configure point input to output
cause and effects. Up to 50 of these “Actions” may be set up. If both zone to zone & point to point cause &
effects are used together, the zone to zone actions will be acted on first. Point to point cause and effect
should not be used for time critical actions.
A typical screen is shown below. The Cause and Effect tab is shown. A summary tab is also available.
Three different modes of input combination are possible.
OR Function With the OR function the configured outputs will be activated whenever ANY of the
inputs in the input list occur.
AND Function With the AND function the configured outputs will only be activated whenever ALL
of the inputs in the input list occur.
Double Knock Function The configured outputs will only be activated when TWO OR MORE of
the inputs in the input list have occurred. They will not be activated if only one input has occurred.
The inputs and outputs are selected by putting ticks in the relevant boxes.
The Clear Action button will remove ALL ticks from ALL boxes for the currently selected Action.
Note that scroll bars are necessary to view all inputs and outputs current configured in the system.
In the Input Points list any devices which do not contain inputs are greyed out. For example, in the above
sample screen, address 7 is greyed out as it is a sounder.
In the Output Points list any devices which do not contain outputs are greyed out. For example, in the
above sample screen, address 15 is greyed out as it is a manual callpoint.
Note that devices such as MPS may have auxiliary outputs configured as fire outputs or device outputs as
well as sounders. If this is the case, you can select which is to be activated in the output list. The default
chosen is “Sounder” (as in the above example screen) but you can change this to Output if an auxiliary
62
output has been configured. Auxiliary outputs are configured on the Device I/O tab in the Device Details
section.
You can use the summary tab to check your selections. A typical summary tab is shown below.
Note that each Action has to be configured separately.
You can use the summary tab to check your configuration. A typical summary tab is shown below.
Note that the output devices will have (s) to indicate sounders and (o) to indicate outputs.
63
Diagnostics
Before diagnostics can be used, the Quadnet Loop Diagnostic program must have been installed on the
PC. If this has not been done, a warning screen is displayed.
A typical warning screen is shown below.
This program is primarily for the use of Fike engineers. There are 3 tabs as follows:

Routine Operations
Programming a New Installation

Generally, the simplest manner in which to program a new installation is to let the control panel find its own
loop configuration upon initialisation, and then to modify this. It is suggested that you proceed as follows:
1. Initialise the system. The control panel will interrogate the loop to build up a database of the
configuration. Ensure that the correct number of devices has been found and that initialisation is
complete.
2. Upload the configuration. Upload the original configuration from the control panel and save it as
‘Filename original’, i.e., ‘HarloweHouse original’. It is good practice to keep this file and not over-
write it with another. If any confusion exists it is handy to investigate the original configuration.
3. Verify the position of the devices. Use the device serial numbers to ensure that your ‘As-wired’
drawings or connection schematic is correct. The upload configuration will be correct so amend your
notes to reflect this.
4. Program as required. Configure the control panel and device attributes as required.
5. Save this file. Save the file as ‘Filename final’, i.e., ‘HarloweHouse final’. The download option is
available without saving the file, but it is good practice to save the file in any case.
6. Download the file into the control panel. After download remember to carry out the following:
‘Start’ or ‘Initialise’ Loop

‘Reconfig’ data to loop devices
‘Reset’ system
Test system for correct operation.
67
Adding and Deleting Devices on Existing Systems

As the address of a device may change if the loop configuration is modified it is important to carry out the
operation in a certain manner in order to avoid the need to reprogram the system from that point onwards.
This is only necessary if the configuration of devices on the loop is changed, i.e., adding or removing
devices. This procedure is not required if a ‘like’ device is swapped, or if an optical chamber is replaced.
1. Upload the original. Upload the original configuration from the control panel and save it as
‘Filename original’, i.e., ‘HarloweHouse original’. It is important to keep this file and not over-write it
with another in case anything goes wrong.
2. Physically add or remove the required devices Physically add or remove the required devices to
the system, record the serial numbers of the detectors, and initialise the system to find the modified
loop configuration. Make sure that you know which address numbers are to be added and which are
to be deleted as the system will renumber the addresses to remove any gaps.
3. Add or remove the required devices to the configuration file. It is generally easier to add or
remove devices in order, starting at the lowest address and working up towards the highest address.
4. Set the new devices as required. Configure the device type, smoke and heat modes, sound
patterns and volumes, I/O types and set the zone allocation. Any added devices will not yet have
serial numbers.
5. Download the file into the control panel. First check and save the configuration file as ‘Filename
new’, i.e., ‘HarloweHouse new’. After download remember to carry out the following:
Start or Initialise Loop
Re-config data to loop devices
Reset system
Test system for correct operation.
6. Upload from the fire panel and save the file. The data will now have the correct serial numbers
for any devices which have been added. This will be the finished version of the file.
68
Programming Loop Inputs and Outputs

The Multipoint detector/sounder has an inbuilt input/output function known as the Multipoint Auxiliary I/O.
This may be programmed within the ‘Device Details’ + Device I/O Tab section by selecting the required
device and then clicking on ‘Device I/O Details’ at the bottom. The required attributes may then be
selected.
I/O Options
I/O options may be configured to suit your individual applications as described below. Further details of the
electrical configuration may be found in the Engineering and Commissioning Instructions. The Loop
Powered I/O Module is programmed in a similar manner, but with fewer options. The table indicates
whether an EOL resistor is necessary. Note that if Auxiliary I/O is set to ‘Not Configured’, it will not require
an EOL resistor.

Quadnet Outputs
Outputs 1 to 4 are derived from single pole change over ‘volt-free’ relay contacts which are not fault
monitored. The relay contacts are rated at 30VDC / 1A max.
The default setting for output 1 causes the relay to operate as a Common Fire output where the relay is
energised in the fire condition. The default setting for output 2 causes the relay to operate as a Common
Fault output where the relay is de-energised in the fault condition. Various other states may also be set
using the OSP programming software. However, to meet the requirements of EN54-2, Outputs 1 and 2
must be left as Common Fire and Common Fault respectively.
The default setting for outputs 3 and 4 causes the relay to operate as a Common Fault output where the
relay is de-energised in the fault condition. Various other states may also be set using the OSP
programming software.
Monitored Outputs 5 and 6 are monitored circuits which may be configured to monitor for open and short
circuit faults with a 10k EOL resistor, and to be activated with a stage 3 alarm.
Quadnet Inputs
Inputs 1-4 may be configured to monitor for open and short circuit faults using a 3k3 EOL resistor, and to
activate an alarm link using a 680R ‘firing’ resistor.
71
Duonet Outputs
Outputs 1 and 2 are derived from single pole change over ‘volt-free’ relay contacts which are not fault
monitored. The relay contacts are rated at 30VDC / 1A max.
The default setting for output 1 causes the relay to operate as a Common Fire output where the relay is
energised in the fire condition. The default setting for output 2 causes the relay to operate as a Common
Fault output where the relay is de-energised in the fault condition. Various other states may also be set
using the OSP programming software. However, to meet the requirements of EN54-2, Outputs 1 and 2

Monitored Outputs 5 and 6 are monitored circuits which may be configured to monitor for open and short
circuit faults with a 10k EOL resistor, and to be activated with a stage 3 alarm.
The default setting for these monitored outputs causes the circuits to operate as Common Fire Sounder
Circuits, where the outputs turn on in the alarm condition. Various other states may also be set using the
OSP programming software.
Duonet Inputs
Inputs 1-2 may be configured to monitor for open and short circuit faults using a 3k3 EOL resistor, and to
activate an alarm link using a 680R ‘firing’ resistor.

Programming Alarm Confirmation

Alarm Confirmation Technology (ACT) is the process whereby a smoke detector may be configured to
issue a localised warning in specific regions, prior to sounding a general alarm. This is generally of great
benefit in dwelling areas where smoke, steam or cooking fumes may trigger a Multipoint detector.
The following diagram demonstrates some of the possibilities:

apartment

FULL ALARM and only the occupant in one
Or any required actions programmed. apartment is disturbed
If a call point or heat detector is activated before,
! during or after the ‘Alarm–Confirmation’ then the

system will activate the alarms immediately.
This function affects the smoke detector only, and operates before the control panel enters the Fire state.
Thus, the system ‘Cause & Effect’ does not need to be adjusted as Alarm Confirmation takes place
before the programmed Cause & Effect sequence is reached.
In order to activate this function, set the attributes detailed in ‘System details’ and ensure that ‘Stage 1’
sound settings have been programmed for every device requiring Alarm Confirmation. Note that Alarm
Confirmation cannot be programmed at the panel. It must be done using the OSP program.
73
Alarm Confirmation Delay
An Alarm Confirmation delay may be set up so that when an alarm occurs, it is not immediately reported.
The system will wait until the end of the delay time and then check that the alarm is still present. If it has
cleared, the device which was in alarm will be reset and no further action need be taken.
The Alarm Confirmation Delay timers is located within the ‘Panel Details’ area on the ‘Delays and Timers’
tab and may be set to give the required Alarm Confirmation Delay time.
The use of this feature allows an automatic reset of an unconfirmed alarm from a smoke detector. It also
allows an Alarm Stage 1 sound pattern for each device required, in the ‘Device Details’ section.
At the end of the ‘Alarm Confirmation Delay’ time the system will check the detector again to see if the
activation has cleared. If so then the device will reset and no further action need be taken.
The sounder operates during the chosen ‘Alarm Confirmation Delay’ time, and stops for the final 20
seconds, during which time the device is reset to check for further smoke presence.
During the ‘Alarm Confirmation Delay’, the activation of an additional smoke detector into ‘Alarm
Confirmation’ will cause the delay time to cease and an instant alarm to be generated.
If, however, the detector is still activated when the alarm confirmation delay is finished, then the entire
system will go into alarm, operating all the sounders programmed in the ‘Cause & Effect’ area.
For a further time period (10 min - ‘Alarm Confirmation Delay’), the activation of the same smoke detector
will cause an instant alarm (depending on the programming of the system in ‘Cause & Effect’).
Alarm Stage 1
These attributes may be set for each device which is to utilise Alarm Confirmation. Smoke detectors
without the attributes will operate in a standard manner (depending on the programming of the system
‘Cause & Effect’).
The ‘Alarm Stage 1’ sound pattern must be used in conjunction with the ‘Alarm Confirmation Delay’.
If Alarm stage 1 is set then the sounder in that device only operates if its smoke detector is in alarm
(unless zonal confirmation is set - then all sounders on that zone will operate). This is ‘Alarm stage 1’. The
device will revert to ‘Alarm stage 2 or 3’ when Alarm stage 1 is off. (Any subsequent actions may need to
be programmed as required under the ‘Cause & Effect’ section).
If you require the alarm confirmation signal to operate sounders on other zones, then alarm confirmation
cause and effect can be programmed by selecting the zones in Alarm Stage 1 under the ‘Cause & Effect’
section
74
Example Configurations
Following are some examples of the configuration required for varying single and multi stage alarm
scenarios.
Group 1 and/or group 2 may be set up as shown in the examples on the following pages. Remember that
these groups need to be configured for every ‘Detection Zone’ required. As the highest priority event
always overrides all lower priority events, the groups may be programmed in any order.
This list is not exhaustive and you may find many different ways of configuring your alarm response.
Consultation with the End User and the relevant Fire Authority is essential.
In these examples, the panel Monitored outputs 5 and 6 have been put into zones 67 and 68 respectively.
Panel Monitored outputs are configured on the Panel Outputs tab on the Panel Details screen.
Instant Alarms
If you require an instant alarm response to any detector, manual call point or input alarm then set Group 1
as follows. This is the standard default configuration supplied with new systems, so generally this will not
need any alterations.
Group 2 should be set with the links unticked.
75
Any fire input (i.e. smoke, heat, call point input), from this Detection Zone (Zone 1) will cause an ‘Alarm
stage 3 (Evacuate)’ sound in Alarm Zones 1 - 128.
Remember that the group 1 and 2 configuration must be set for every ‘Detection Zone’ required (not just for
Zone 1), both on initial commissioning and during any future alterations to the system.
Note the selection of Alarm Zones 67 and 68 (in Group 1) to enable the operation of the two conventional
sounder circuits (Monitored Outputs 5 and 6) at the control panel.
‘Smoke Alert’
An early warning (Alert) maybe raised in the event of a smoke detector triggering, in order to give time for
staff to investigate. Heat detection and manual call points should normally be left with an instant response.
To achieve this result set Group 1 as follows.
Note that Group 2 should be set with all the links unticked as shown below.
In this example, we have programmed Zone 1.
76
Any smoke alarm input on Detection Zone 1 (Zone Basement) will cause an ‘Alarm stage 2 (Alert)’ sound in
Alarm Zones 1 to 5. Note that the “Hide Empty Alarm Zones” box has been ticked, making it easier to see
which zones are actually involved in the outputs.
After a time delay (configured earlier as Alarm Delay 1 in the Delays and Timers tab on the Panel System
Details screen), the sound will change to an ‘Alarm stage 3 (Evacuate)’ sound.
This sound will also be used on a heat or call point activation but with no delay.
Note the selection of Alarm Zones 67 and 68 (in Group 1) to enable the operation of the two conventional
sounder circuits (Monitored Outputs 5 and 6) at the control panel. These are only triggered from the ‘Alarm
stage 3’ activation.
Remember that the group 1 and 2 configuration must be set for every ‘Detection Zone’ required (not just for
Zone 1), both on initial commissioning and during any future alterations to the system.
Phased Evacuation
Alternatively, an early warning (Alert) can be raised within the local area in the event of a smoke detector
triggering, in order to give time for staff to investigate. Heat detection and manual call points should
normally be left with an instant response, but possibly phasing the evacuation from the critical areas.
To achieve this result set Group 1 as follows.
Note that Group1 has been configured to only report the event (using alarm stage 2) to zone 3. The result
is localised to the zone where the fire occurred.
Set Group 2 as follows.
77
In this example, any smoke alarm input on Detection Zone 3 will cause an ‘Alarm stage 2’ sound in Alarm
Zone 3 only (because of the setting of Group 1). After a time delay (configured earlier as Alarm Delay 2 in
the Delays and Timers tab on the Panel System Details screen), or immediately after a heat or call point
activation, the sound will change to an ‘Alarm stage 3’ sound in Alarm Zones 3,4 and 5.
Thus, an Alarm Stage 2 (Alert) is generated on the same zone as the smoke detector activation. After a
time delay, or immediately after a heat alarm or manual call point activation, an Alarm Stage 3 (Evacuate)
is generated on that zone and also zones 4-5.
Thus, only the area at highest risk is initially evacuated, in order to avoid evacuating the entire site at one
go.
Remember that the group 1 and 2 configuration must be set for every input ‘Detection Zone’ required (not
just for Zone 3), both on initial commissioning and during any future alterations to the system.
Alarm Confirmation / Warden Call

The following example shows a configuration suitable for use in sheltered housing complexes. This
configuration was originally designed in response to an enquiry from a client, and has since been
implemented effectively on many sites.
It is required that the system will minimise false alarms from sheltered housing apartments, whilst providing
accurate warning of real fire situations.
The Multipoint detection in the apartments utilises the I/O Interface base to signal through the warden call
system to the warden (or central station if the warden is off site). This is combined with alarm confirmation
in order to provide a means of aborting a full alarm if the occupant is able to remove the cause of a false
alarm.
To achieve this result, configure the system as follows:
Panel Details
78
Within the Panel Details section, select a value for the Alarm Confirmation Delay. This is done on the
Delays and Timers tab.
In our example, an Alarm Confirmation delay of 4 minutes 00 seconds has been set up.
Device Details
Set the devices within the apartments as follows, with the Alarm Stage 1 sound pattern selected to SP1,
SP2 or SP3.
Set the devices within communal areas, corridors and escape routes as follows, with the Alarm Stage 1
sound pattern set to SP0 (off).
Alarm confirmation has been turned ON for the devices within the apartments (Rooms 24, 25 and 26).
Also using the Device I/O tab, set the I/O linkage to Monitored Output / Device for each of the devices
within the apartments. Thus I/O Interface base relays will operate only when its host smoke detector
triggers.
Use the Device I/O Details button to obtain the following screen to select the I/O type Monitored Output –
Device output as follows. Device 10 is shown as an example.
79
Cause & Effect
The Cause & Effect section should be set as for instant alarms as described previously (this is the default
setting). Set Group 1 as shown below. Remember to set this for each of the detection zones with inputs.
Group 2 does not need to be set.
The Alarm Confirmation routine takes place before the system enters the alarm state.
In this example, an ‘Alarm stage 3’ sound will operate in all Alarm Zones in response to the operation of the
following:
1. A heat detector anywhere on the system

2. A manual call point anywhere on the system
3. A smoke detector (excluding those set for Alarm Confirmation in the apartments)
4. Final confirmation of a smoke detector within an apartment.
5. The start of Alarm Confirmation from a second smoke detector within an apartment
Whilst a single smoke detector within an apartment is in its alarm confirmation stage, it will operate its own
local sounder only, and trigger the I/O interface base relay to which it is attached. Thus, if this is connected
to the local warden call unit, the warden is able to rapidly establish contact with the occupier and verify the
alarm status of the alarm. If the cause of an unwanted is removed within the selected 4 minute Alarm
Confirmation delay period then the device will reset and a full alarm will be avoided.
Remember that the group 1 and 2 configuration must be checked for every input ‘Detection Zone’ required,
both on initial commissioning and during any future alterations to the system.
