2.2 STANDARD CONTROLS

The T1000 Marine controller provides a pushbutton keypad to access the various control functions and
settings of the controller. The pushbuttons are multi-functional and there use is dependent upon the
selected function as detailed in the following sub-sections.

2.2.1 DISPLAY SCREEN FORMATS AND ASSOCIATED FUNCTION PUSHBUTTONS

Due to display screen limitations only the highest priority information is displayed at any one instance
unless a user overrides the priority system by operation of the front panel pushbuttons. The priority is as
follows:
1) Access level-1 display priority:
a) Operator control requests - The T1000 Marin e Controller obeys instructions and the front
panel displays the requested information; the information is displayed permanently as long
as no higher priority information currently exists, or for 20 seconds if higher priority
information exists, or momentarily if a monitored event occurs.
b) Unacknowledged (not Accepted) fire alarms.
c) Unacknowledged (not Accepted) technical alarms.
d) Unacknowledged (not Accepted) fault warnings.
e) Unacknowledged (not Accepted) system faults.
f) Acknowledged (Accepted) fire alarms.
g) Acknowledged (Accepted) technical alarms.
h) Acknowledged (Accepted) fault warnings.
i) Acknowledged (Accepted) system faults.
j) Disablement information.
k) Test mode information.

2) At access level-2 the display obeys operator instructions and only reverts to level 1 20
seconds after the last pushbutton operation irrespective of any other events.

Note: It is recommended that the operator requests a return to level 1 by operating the
“SYSTEM ACCESS” pushbutton twice rather than leaving the system at access level-2.

3.4 ZONE P RIORITIES

A zone can only be in one state at a time. The states are prioritised such that a higher priority condition
takes precedence over a lower one. The priority states are as follows:
1) Test Mode.
2) Disable.
3) Fire Alarm.
4) Technical Alarm.
5) Fault.
a) Short Circuit.
b) Open Circuit.
c) Detector Removed.

3.5 FIRE ALARM

Any detection zone going into the alarm condition causes the controller sounder to activate in the alarm
mode, causing the FIRE ALARM LEDs to flash, the relevant zone PIXEL and MESSAGE on the FIRE
ALARM screen to indicate, the sounder outputs to activate and any additional programmed outputs to
activate.
To accept a FIRE ALARM, proceed as follows:

1) Press
ACCEPTthe SYSTEM ACCESSThis silences

ALARM LEDs to change from flashing to lit steady.

At this stage, should another detection zone go into alarm, the FIRE ALARM LEDs reactivate, the
relevant zone PIXEL and MESSAGE on the FIRE ALARM screen indicate and the controller sounder
operates in the alarm mode. Acceptance of this subsequent alarm has the same effect as previously
described.
Once the cause of the alarm has been investigated and removed, press the SYSTEM ACCESS
pushbutton, enter the user code (3456) and then press the RESET pushbutton causing all detectors
and zones in alarm to be reset and the controller to return to the quiescent condition.

3.7 TECHNICAL ALARMS

In the cause and effect software zone inputs can be programmed to monitor alarm conditions which are
not fire, these are called Technical alarms.
Any detection zone going into the alarm condition causes the controller sounder to activate in the alarm
mode, the TECHNICAL ALARM LED to flash, the relevant zone PIXEL and MESSAGE on the
TECHNICAL ALARM screen to indicate and the relevant configured outputs to be activated.
To accept a TECHNICAL ALARM, proceed as follows:

At this stage, should another detection zone go into alarm, the TECHNICAL ALARM LED will reflash,
the relevant zone PIXEL and MESSAGE on the TECHNICAL ALARM screen indicates and the
controller sounder and relay outputs are again activated. This alarm can be acknowledged in the same
manner as previously described.
Once the cause of the alarm has been investigated and removed, press the SYSTEM ACCESS
pushbutton, enter the user code (3456) and then press the RESET pushbutton causing all detectors
and zones in alarm to be reset and the controller to return to the quiescent condition.

3.9 FIRE ALAR M/FAULT DIAGNOSIS FL OWCHART

T1000 MARINE FIRE CONTROLLER ALARM/FAULT DIAGNOSIS

General
Fault finding on the T1000 Marine Fire Detection System is done using the Fault Screen. When a zone
fault is detected the FAULT WARNING LED will flash and the fault sounder operates.

3.9.1 ZONE FAULTS

Any zone going into a fault condition, ie short circuit, open circuit or detector removed, causes the
controller sounder to activate in the fault mode, the FAULT WARNING LED to flash, the relevant zone
PIXEL and MESSAGE on the FAULT screen to indicate and the common Fault output to be activated.
To accept the alarm, proceed as follows:
1) Press the SYSTEM ACCESS pushbutton, enter the user code (3456) and press the
ACCEPT pushbutton. This silences the internal sounder and causes the FAULT
WARNING LED to change from flashing to lit steady. At this stage, should a further fault
occur, the controller sounder is again activated in the fault mode and the FAULT
WARNING LED again flashes.

Note: Faults are latched until the controller is reset. (Operation of the reset control whilst a fault
condition prevails causes the audible and visual indicators to be re-activated).
