•Setup 4 internal timers programmable under cause/effect control (ie for phased evac)


•Configure Default & Day & night, Threshold/Mode settings

•Configure default loop Interface input device responses for, Fire, Alert, Fault, Indication only, N/O,N/C input

•Configure special group mode settings changeable by triggering a loop input device

•Configure any panel and loop input into 1 zone for indication and cause/effect and 7 additional hidden control groups for cause/effect (zones 1-32 for indication, 33-255 for cause effect)

•Link any output device into as many zones/groups as required for cause/effect, detailing the conditions required for activation


•Detail the conditions required to inhibit any output device from operating and link to as many zones / groups as required for cause/effect

•Programme Detector base platform sounders

•Print out all files for reference and approval purposes

•Supports earlier panels manufactured for backward compatibility (Not all features are available on earlier panels)

•Configure network personality responses by simple drop down lists

•Configure extensive network cause/effect via 520 standard “Flag” messages and up to 1,500 custom configured ones – per panel
