6. Fully Flush Cabinet (Illustrated)
Cabinet Options
Surface Cabinets
Cabinet colour reference is: RAL 7035 textured (Light Grey)
All cabinets are manufactured from sheet steel and finished in satin texture epoxy powder stove paint.
Semi-Flush Cabinets
The semi-flush bezel locates to the rear of the bevelled edge of the back box, leaving the bevelled edge and door raised out from the wall.
It is finished in the same colour as the back box and is fitted by means of pinch bolts, thus avoiding the need to drill the cabinet.
Fully Flush Cabinet (Illustrated)
Custom-made to a high quality, full-flush bezels are available in brass, stainless steel, or painted.
This option is achieved by fixing a flat bezel assembly to the standard back box, replacing the standard door. The panel comes with assembly already fitted but may be supplied for later on-site fitting (this may be a little time-consuming).
For details of panel dimensions
see Application Guide.

15. Windows-based PC Programming
Windows-based PC programming package for panel set up, zones, text, local and network cause/effect, Discovery mode types, sensitivity levels and day/night timings.

16. Discovery Mode-change Maps
The discovery panel provides the engineer with the facility to set a mode sensitivity map for:
Day use - for example, less sensitive in some process areas during working hours
Night use - for example, maximum sensitivity throughout entire building when not in use
Default - ignore day/night sensitivity maps, set to XP95 equivalent
The engineer may set up each device into a day map, and night map, and set the clock (week day or weekend options) to switch between them

17. Discovery Mode-change Maps
The end user may easily select between:
Day mode - manually holds all devices in the Day mode setting
Night Mode - Manually holds all devices in Night mode setting
Automatic - Day/Night mode determined by clock
Off - To manually set all devices to default (XP95 equivalent)

18. Discovery Temporary Mode Changes
Loop outstation inputs may be configured to change Discovery Multi-sensor modes.
Applications: -
Loading Bays - As a lorry enters, smoke detection may be temporarily disabled
Theatre Stages - Stage hand may operate key switch to de-activate smoke detection at performance times
Hotel Function Rooms - Keyswitch at room entrance to disable smoke detection during special events
Smoke Cloak Security - Multisensor smoke elements may be disabled when the smoke cloak is activated

19. Networking “All talk - selective listen”
