Programming
3.1 User Programming
The ES-200X is completely field programmable and requires no special software skills. While programming the ES-200X, the fire protection
capabilities of the control panel are enabled.
Site-specific programming may be accomplished in any of the following ways:
•
Autoprogramming Feature - This is a convenient method for quickly bringing the FACP addressable SLC devices on-line without the
necessity of programming each device individually. Refer to "Autoprogram" on page 55 for a detailed description of
Autoprogramming.
•
Manual programming or editing, using the FACP keypad
•
Remote Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom programs using a Windows-based
computer and Ethernet connection. For programs requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. The FS-Tools
programming utility can be downloaded from www.firelite.com for this purpose.
•
Local Programming and Editing Feature - allows creation and editing of site-specific custom programs using a Windows-based
computer and the FACP USB connection. For programs requiring a large amount of data entry, this method may be preferred. The FS-
Tools programming utility can be downloaded from www.firelite.com for this purpose.
3.2 Programming Screens Description
The options available when the Enter key is pressed are: Read Status Mode and Login. The Read Status and Login options have multiple
functions or features which may be chosen. To view all of the choices, it is necessary that the programmer scroll through a number of addi-
tional subscreens. These selections are displayed on multiple screens to make them more readable for the programmer. Refer to "Master Pro-
gramming Level" on page 54, for additional information on the various screens.
The title of the main option screen will always be displayed at the top of the subscreens for the programmer's convenience. If additional sub-
screens exist, an Up or Down arrow will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen being viewed. The programmer can then press
the keypad Up or Down arrow key to view the new subscreen. To select one of the choices in a screen, the programmer presses the keypad
numerical key corresponding to the desired choice.
Note that subscreens may also have multiple options which require viewing more than one screen. The same process, as detailed in the pre-
vious paragraphs, is followed to view all option choices.
The programmer can exit any mode by repeatedly pressing the keypad ESC (Escape) key until the display reads System Normal. Note that
the data which is entered during Programming mode is not saved until the programmer exits this mode by repeatedly pressing the 'ESC' key.
If the Reset key is pressed or power is lost before exiting Programming mode, all data just entered will be lost.
3.3 Initial Power-up
The following sections describe the initial programming procedures for a new system. The same procedures are used to modify program-
ming in an existing system.
After completing the wiring of addressable devices to the SLC, apply power to the control panel. Since the addressable devices have not yet
been programmed into the FACP, their LEDs will not flash, and the following trouble message will be displayed.
3.4 Users and Passwords
After initial power-up, the ES-200X requires a password change and user account setup before programming. After pressing Enter, and 2 for
panel login, a screen will prompt for the type of access account, Administrator or User. An administrator has the ability to modify user
accounts and view the cybersecurity log. The User account has access to panel programming. Under the user account there are two program-
ming levels:
•
User Master Program Level is used for programming panel specific data relating to device types, zoning, messages, control panel
functions, etc.
•
User Maintenance Program Level is used by a qualified operator to access features such as Disable/Enable, View and Clear History,
Walktest and System Time Change.
Using the Administrator login, the default password must be changed to a new, unique password. Refer to the section below. There is a max-
imum of two administrator logins available. After the administrator account is set up, User account(s) must be created. Only a User account
has the ability to program the control panel. There is a maximum of ten (10) User accounts available.
