The Programmer Module allows direct access to all VESDAnet devices on a VESDA smoke detection system. It allows configuration and status reporting of detectors, displays and interfaces and is required when installing, commissioning and maintaining a VESDA network. By incorporating a user friendly menu, navigation through the comprehensive features of VESDAnet is convenient and simple.
The programmer module is available as a hand-held device (includes a DB15 serial cable) or can be mounted into a LaserPLUS or LaserSCANNER detector, a remote mounting box or a 19 inch sub rack. The two rows of large push buttons enable the user to log ON and navigate through the menu trees to the various command and parameter setting functions. The top row of keys are called “Soft Keys” and are assigned programming options appropriate to the screen being viewed.
Some of the parameters that can be accessed via the programmer include device status reporting, zone number and name allocation, flow normalisation, alarm threshold setting (day, night, weekend), initiation of AutoLearn™, wiring order, relay testing and event log review.
