It is used to monitor alarms, supervisories, troubles, securities and any other events detected and reported by autonomous MXL systems. FireFinder maintains details of all detection devices connected to the MXL control panels, and displays screen images to show the location of the devices. Any number of screen images may be related to each detection point, therefore offering multiple levels of ZOOM. These screen images can be bit mapped representations, usually floor plans generated using CAD software. Screens may also be images from building drawings, color brochures, floor layouts, and even photographs captured using a color scanner or any other graphic capture devices. One or more screens may be complete text screens providing the operator or fire department with response instructions specific to a device or area. The system default image type is PCX, but virtually every major graphics format can be selected. FireFinder is designed to intuitively guide the operator through the usage of the system. When an alarm is received, the device location is displayed in the “graphics window” using an icon encircled by a red flashing ring. This icon is superimposed on the first graphic image associated with the device, and the event’s corresponding text message is displayed in the “event list” window. The PC’s internal audible activates to alert the operator when an event needs attention. The acknowledge button flashes on and off and when selected sends the acknowledge command through the LifeLINK network. The PC’s internal audible then CATALOG NUMBER 5059 silences and a check mark is placed next to the event text when the acknowledgment is received from the MXL panel. The acknowledge button will then turn steady red indicating the alarm has been acknowledged. The silence button flashes to indicate building notification appliances are active and that the operator may silence them (subject to the mode of operation selected in the system settings menu). The operator may then silence the system audibles by selecting the silence button. The silence button will then turn steady red. The reset button can then be selected to clear all the MXL panel(s) and the FireFinder system of all events. FireFinder can control the full range of features available in the MXL LifeLINK network. During an alarm, system audibles can be toggled back on at any time by selecting the silence button again. A message can be tagged to any event for future reference. That message can be printed and kept in the history log files. The event graphics and text messages can be sent to the printer(s) as designated in the system settings menu. That same ease of operation is applied to all event types with the differences being that the color of the button(s) and the text will change in accordance with the event type (for example yellow for troubles) and building notification appliances will not be activated. The operator may select the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT buttons to navigate through the graphic images associated with the selected event. The NEXT and PREV buttons select the next and previous events from the “event list window”. Unacknowledged events will be listed at the top of the “event list” window and will be organized according to their priority. An icon next to the event text will enable the operator to quickly ascertain the type of event in the event list, and whether or not the event has been acknowledged. The SHOW button will enable the operator to query FireFinder for current alarms, supervisories, securities, troubles, status, messages, analog voltages, threshold points, device sensitivities, module types, device types, disabled points and others. One press of the print button will provide a hard copy of the generated report resulting from any query. FireFinder’s multitasking environment enables it to accept any event (such as alarms and troubles) while any menu is active, without affecting the operator’s ability to manage the incoming events. The unique “context sensitive” on-line help feature guides the user through the operation of the system eliminating the need for an instruction manual. FireFinder is capable of operating in various modes depending upon the desired MXL network architecture. The three UL listed configurations are: NFPA 72 Local - Campus Configuration The FireFinder console is in monitoring mode only. The remote MXL nodes are configured as standalone NFPA 72 Local - Campus panels. Local control is through the MXL’s MKB (annunciator/keyboard). FireFinder displays the current values of analog voltages, sensitivities, etc. FireFinder can not directly acknowledge, silence, or reset a remote node. NFPA 72 Local - Highrise Configuration FireFinder is the primary control point for a collection of MXL nodes. It is capable of block acknowledge, query, and control of the system. The remote MXL nodes are configured as NFPA 72 Local - Highrise units and may contain their own MKBs (annunciator/keyboards). No local control is possible at a remote MKB unless its node is out of communication with the FireFinder computer. NFPA 72 Proprietary Configuration FireFinder is the primary control point for a collection of MXL nodes. It is capable of top event acknowledge, query, and control of the system. The remote MXL nodes are configured as NFPA 72 Proprietary units and may contain their own MKBs (annunciator/keyboards). Local control is possible at a remote location using an MKB that is behind a locked door. FireFinder provides complete history logging of events. Events can be selected by event type, time and date, and reports can be generated. FireFinder can also function as a fully interactive terminal allowing complete operator control of the Network via text command entry. These commands include acknowledging events, silencing audibles, resetting the MXL control panels, disarming/arming points and changing device thresholds. The same text commands can be used in the macro manager enabling the operator to allocate any complex or repetitive sequence to a single macro button. Four levels of password can be tied to any number of operators. Operators may LOG on to the system by entering their name and password with the use of the on-screen keyboard or by typing on the standard PC keyboard. The multiple levels of password can be used to prevent unauthorized access to critical system functions. The FireFinder software package is provided with a cable that connects to the MXL’s NIM-1R network interface module, a software key, keyboard templates, software disks and a manual. The designated computer running the FireFinder software should be within twenty five feet of the NIM-1R. The connection between the computer and the NIM-1R is fully supervised. The approved computer equipment operating temperature range is 0° C to 49° C. Engineer and Architect Specifications Monitoring and control of the entire life safety network shall be possible from one to four graphics command consoles. The command console shall be the Cerberus Pyrotronics FireFinder network command center graphics (model NCC1G, NCC-2G, NCC-3G, NCC-4G, NCC-A choose one). The command console shall display incoming events such as alarms, in text and graphical formats simultaneously, to give a visual indication of the location of the event. The main view of the graphical user interface shall be divided into the global status bar, the graphics window, the text event list window, the node status bar, and the main button array. Dedicated buttons shall enable navigation through the graphic screens, text events, and the various system parameters without having to be programmed by the operator. The highest priority unacknowledged event shall appear at the top of the event list window unless other events are manually selected. The selected event text shall be highlighted to indicate it is selected. Next to the event text shall be an icon that displays a check mark to indicate the event has been acknowledged. A separate icon in the graphics window shall show the location of the current event and shall be encircled by a ring that flashes until acknowledged. Every event type shall have its own color. Alarms shall be red, supervisories shall be light blue, troubles shall be yellow and securities shall be magenta. The event text and the icon ring in the graphic screen shall bear the color of the event type. The usage of scroll bars at the sides of the graphics and event windows shall scroll into view portions of the graphic image or events that are beyond the current display space. It shall also be possible to resize the graphics and event list windows to any size, thereby enabling the operator to view more of either the graphic or text information as desired. A ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT button shall be available for displaying the various zoom levels and images available for the selected event. The text and color on the acknowledge button shall change to indicate the type of event being acknowledged. General system settings shall be available through the use of a system settings graphical booklet. A single system setting selection shall cause the system to operate in NFPA 72 Local - Campus operation, NFPA 72 Local - Highrise operation or NFPA 72 Proprietary operation. The system shall have live context sensitive help enabling the operator to perform necessary functions in the event the instruction manual is not available. A SHOW button shall enable the operator to query FireFinder for current alarms, supervisories, securities, troubles, status, messages, analog voltages, threshold points, device sensitivities, module types, device types, disabled points and others. One press of the print button shall provide a hard copy of the generated report resulting from any query. The system’s multitasking environment shall enable the operator to accept any event (such as alarms and troubles) while any menu is active, without affecting the operator’s ability to manage the incoming events. A macro manager shall enable the operator or system programmer to allocate any complex sequence of commands to a single button action. The complete command set shall be available for incorporation into a macro sequence. A node status bar located at the bottom of the screen shall graphically indicate the status of the autonomous system nodes at a glance. Each autonomous node or designated groups of nodes shall have independent icons. The icon representing the group of nodes or single node shall bear the color of the highest priority event in the node(s) (ie- RED for alarm). Selecting the node(s) icon shall enable the operator to connect, disconnect, reset or show any event exclusively associated with the node(s). It shall be possible to place a nine character label on the node(s) icon as required.
