ONYXWorks® is an industrial PC based colour graphics system for connection into either a standalone or a network of 3030 fire alarm panels. The graphical display allows personnel to rapidly pin point, investigate and respond to events with minimal operator training.
The PC monitors all events on the network and displays them in a clean, concise graphical format on the computer screen. Users can use the PC to then acknowledge, disable and reset individual alarm events as they occur in real time. Unlimited custom maps and icons can be created directly on the PC to customise the screens specific for the project.
As events occur the icons change colour to indicate fault, disabled or alarm status of each point on the system. Mapscan can be set to auto navigate in an alarm to the area requiring attention based on the event priority. Additional information can be stored such as hazardous material storage & emergency response plans and also has the ability to handle rotated text imported from AutoCad.
Building layout maps can be imported directly from AutoCad or other applications using the universal WMF format which provides excellent clarity and detail even when zoomed in to maximum scale. ONYXWorks® can also be used to monitor a number of networks remotely over either open or closed TCP/IP (internet) protocol. This enables a central head office location to monitor the fire alarm systems at multiple sites or use the sites existing network infrastructure in lieu or running new cables.
