Fire Alarm System Limitations
While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm systemtypically made up of smoke detec-
tors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices,
and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capabilitycan
provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however,
does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life
resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be
located throughout a protected premise following the recommenda-
tions of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's recommendations, State and
local codes, and the recommendations contained in the Guide for
Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at
no charge to all installing dealers. These documents can be found at
http://www.systemsensor.com/html/applicat.html.
A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency
of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may
not go off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee
warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not pro-
vide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not function, for a
variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the
detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on roofs, or on the
other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a
fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for
example, may not sense a first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or smoke from a developing fire may not
reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys
may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
Smoke particles may become cold, stratify, and not reach the ceiling
or upper walls where detectors are located.
Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.
Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the
detector.
The amount of smoke present may be insufficient to alarm smoke
detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of
smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing
fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limita-
tions. Detectors that have photo-electronic sensing chambers tend to
detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little visi-
ble smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend
to detect fast-flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires
develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth,
neither type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detec-
tor may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of
fires caused by arson, children playing with matches (especially in
bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions (caused by escap-
ing gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm only
when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or
reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be
subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-
rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year
by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed
to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room
as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connec-
tion of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or
power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage
the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these
devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or
are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device may
fail to alert people with a disability or those who have recently con-
sumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:
Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people
with conditions such as epilepsy.
Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire
alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal.
It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other
training exercise to make people aware of fire alarm signals and
instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause tempo-
rary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If
AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for
a specified time and only if the batteries have been properly main-
tained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible
with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a
central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily dis-
abled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup
radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate
maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in excellent work-
ing order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's
recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the
requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large
amounts of dust, dirt or high air velocity require more frequent mainte-
nance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the
local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be sched-
uled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and
should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to
the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before
servicing. The control unit and associated equipment may be dam-
aged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting
cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service,
or operate this unit until this manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software Changes. To
ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accor-
dance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in
site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any
change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any mod-
ification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions
known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least
10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change,
up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper sys-
tem operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0C to 49C
(32F to 120F) and at a relative humidity 93% 2% RH (non-con-
densing) at 32C 2C (90F 3F). However, the useful life of the
system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity.
Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be
installed in an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-
27 C/60-80 F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating
device loops. Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R.
drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices this system may operate errati-
cally or can be damaged when subjected to lightning-induced tran-
sients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning
transients and interferences, proper grounding will reduce susceptibil-
ity. Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an
increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting cir-
cuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming,
or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make all cable entries
from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they
will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board
location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening
may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal contact pressure
and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
Though designed to last many years, system components can fail at
any time. This system contains static-sensitive components. Always
ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits
so that static charges are removed from the body. Use static-sup-
pressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from
the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and program-
ming manuals. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage
to the control panel and associated equipment. FACP operation and
reliability depend upon proper installation by authorized personnel.

5.3.1 About Monitoring Profiles
Monitoring Profiles allows the Admin User to select what nodes will be monitored by a
Workstation. The profile is defined for a specific network and or node on a network. That profile
determines what events are displayed by the Workstation. By using Monitoring and Control
Profiles (page 61), supervision of portions of the network is possible. Monitoring Profiles can be
created and saved using the fields on the Monitoring Profiles window.
Monitoring Profiles are event annunciation filters that are setup to monitor or not to monitor an
event location and its event type at the Workstation.
The events location in the system is selected in the Network|Node Assignment area of the
window.
The event locations event type (fire alarms, security, etc.) is selected in the Device Selection
Status area of the window.
The factory defined Monitoring Profile Default is set to monitor all networks and nodes. The first
Monitoring Profile created will be based on that Default profile. Therefore to not display any
desired networks or nodes and their respective event types, the profile will need to be modified and
then changes applied.
NOTE: Monitoring Profiles must be configured before "Local Event Printer Configuration",
"Pager/Modem Configuration", or "E-Mail Configuration" can take place.

Miscellaneous Check Boxes
Show Only Off Normal Devices
This selection will only display icons of points that are off normal (alarm, trouble, etc.). If there are
no current events on the system there will be no points visible in the graphics display.
Autoactivate Next Event After Acknowledge
Use this select to auto-activate based on the acknowledge command. Once any events in the New
Events window are acknowledged, the next event will autoactivate any linked files which are set to
do so. This selection will also cause auto-navigation (if set). Not only will the next event display
its' auto-activate linked media file will respond and the system will move to the Workstation
floorplan area where that device is located.
By default, points with linked media files which are set to auto-activate for events will only do so
when they are the first event to appear in an empty New Events window. If an event is annunciated
for a point and any other events are currently in the New Events window, then any linked files will
not be autoactivated.
Automatically Navigate on Event
Use this selection to have the Workstation software application automatically display the screen
where an off-normal event is taking place. It is recommended that this setting be enabled to ensure
the highest level of response to an event.
Extract Descriptions From Panel
Use this selection to assign point descriptions as they are reported from the panel instead of using
the locally defined descriptions. This description is coupled with the Event Box Label and displays
the point description or properties.
Most control and alarm panels contain a description that is sent over the network with panel
messages. This option allows the Admin User to select whether these descriptions are used for
each node or if the descriptions are entered at the Workstation when points are assigned for the
panel. This feature applies only to nodes that have the capability to provide such a description.

About Un-acked Event Alarm Configuration Descriptions
These function manages how the Workstation software application supervises a User
acknowledgement of new events. In security circles, this feature is commonly known as a Dead
Man. When enabled, this function monitors the New Event window status and activity.
Unacked Event Timeout (3-60 Minutes)
When an event appears in the New Event window a timer is started and will run for a Admin User
defined time (3 60 min.).
If a User acknowledges an event before the timer expires, no action is taken.
If any other events are outstanding in the New Event window, the timer is reset and starts
again; otherwise, it is canceled.
If the timer expires before an event is acknowledged, then a Admin User defined macro is
initialized. This macro either activates or deactivates an output on the network (also Admin
User defined). When the User selects this macro it creates an event when the output is
activated/deactivated. The output can be used to trip any external point (horn, strobe, pager
etc.) provided by the installer. Once the User acknowledges all New Events, a second Admin
User defined macro is performed and that macro contains the reverse commands of the first
macro.
Macro Activated on Alarm Is used to select from Admin User defined macros. For more
details on defining macros, refer to Macro Command Configuration on page 70.
User Responses
Theses fields on this window allow the Admin User to modify the preset definitions that display for
an event into custom responses. The text in these fields is text that will be displayed on a User

5.5.1 About Control Profiles
Control Profiles allows the Admin User to select what network and nodes will be controlled by a
Workstation. Also Control Profiles allows the right-click menu options (enable, disable, arm,
disarm etc.) on point icons or events in the events boxes. The profile is defined for a specific
network and or node on a network. That profile determines when a message is sent to a node, or an
event for a point type is acknowledged, that message or acknowledgment would only be received
locally if the Workstation did not have control of that node. Sometimes a User does not always
monitor or respond to events that may occur in other monitored locations in the system. By using
Monitoring (page 44) and Control Profiles, supervision of portions of the network is possible.
Control Profiles can be created and saved using the fields on the Control Profiles Configuration
window.
Control Profiles can be configured to include or exclude any combination of nodes being monitored
and controlled by the system. Control Profiles can be selected at the network and node levels in a
networks hierarchy.
In the Control Profile Select window under the PROFILES heading is the name of the Control
Profile. Adjacent to the PROFILES heading is the hierarchy of networks and nodes on the network
for that profile. There is a Controlled By field that displays the IP address of the Workstation that
has control of that portion of the system or None if no Workstation has control.
If a Workstation does not have control of a node, all actions taken at a Workstation in regards to that
node are local only. For example, an acknowledge command at the Workstation tallies on the
Workstation, but the node doesnt receive it. In addition, only one Workstation can have control of
any node at any time. When control of a node is activated at a Workstation, it is deactivated at the
other Workstation that previously had control.
It might be necessary to assume control of a profile or node from the current Workstation, in doing
it is important to know that in doing so, only one Workstation can control any single profile or point
at a given time.
The factory defined Control Profile Default is set to not control any networks and nodes. The first
Control Profile created will be based on that Default profile. Therefore to control networks or
nodes the profile will need to be modified and then changes applied.

information on the LonWorks network into information
that can be used by a ONYXWorks
Workstation in the
ONYXWorks
system.
Echelon Network LonWorks Technologies open
architecture standard used for communication between
devices and the Echelon Gateway on the ONYXWorks
system.
Ethernet Network communication standard using the
TCP/IP protocol. Connects gateways in the
ONYXWorks
system.
Event An Event is any change in the status of an
addressable device or a transfer of information between
a device and either the Workstation or another device.
Some of these events are considered background and
housekeeping events, and are not seen by the User. The
events that are of primary concern to the User are those
identified as off-normal events.
Event Printer An event printer is a dot matrix printer
that connects to ONYXWorks
Workstation and prints
all events that are annunciated at the Workstation.
F
Fire Alarm Event Event issued by fire protection
devices such as pull-stations, smoke detectors, and
sprinkler systems.
Floorplan Area The Floorplan Area provides the
primary source of the Workstation visual feedback and
interaction with the ONYXWorks
system.
Functional Buttons Refer to Macro Buttons.

G
Gateway Gateways connect the ONYXWorks
Workstation to a specific fire alarm network, and to
other ONYXWorks
Workstation all of which make up
an ONYXWorks
system. These are not physical devices; they are
clicked-on to display important information for the User
or for emergency responders. Suggested pop-ups are
pictures of hazardous materials storage areas; special
warnings and instructions for hazardous materials;
construction area designations; and locations of
emergency exits.
IP Address An IP address is a unique identifier that
represents a connection of a TCP/IP network. IP
addresses are used to address individual workstations
and servers on the ONYXWorks
system.
L
Linked Information Any addressable device or
information label on the floor plan can have linked
information. Linked information can be text, video,
bitmaps, and sound. To access the linked information
on a device (either addressable or an information label),
right-click-on the icon to display the pop-up menu and
then make the appropriate selection.
M
Macro Macros are used to define custom commands
for communication with particular devices on the
network. Macros can be defined to perform a variety of
different commands (dependent on the point type), to
one or more specified devices.
Macro Buttons Macro Buttons are added to the
Workstation screen to perform macro functions that
have been previously defined by the Admin User.
These are sometimes referred to as Functional Buttons.
They can be customized more than the Command
Buttons that appear on the ONYXWorks
Workstation
Taskbar.
Member database Refer to User Database.
Monitoring Profiles Monitoring profiles allow the
User to select exactly what events are seen by the
Workstation, organized based on selecting specific
nodes, sub-nodes and devices. Monitoring assignments
are the job of the Admin User, who creates a number of
profiles that can be selected by the User. Usually these
profiles are created around a physical or operational
structure, such as by building or by work shift.
Mouse-over Window A window that pops-up a
window with additional information about something on
the Workstation screen when the mouse pointer is
position over it.
N
Navicons User-defined icons on the Workstations
screen that provides a shortcut to another Workstation
screen. Function is similar to hyperlinks on a web page.
Navigational Buttons Refer to Navicons
NION Network Input Output Node. A device with the
necessary protocol to provide communication dialog
between the addressable devices on a network with the
Workstation.
Node Number A node number is the ID for any given
node on a network.
O
Off-Normal Event An off-normal event is an event
which indicates activity or change in a condition that
requires the attention and/or response of an User.
Overview The Overview provides either an overview
of the currently displayed Workstation screen (without
devices, buttons, or other objects).
Glossary

Workstation Installation & Operation Manual - P/N: 52342:Rev: D 06/01/07
P
Paired Event Events which, after acknowledgment,
still require another event to return the associated device
to its original state. This second event may be initiated
by the User (as in the case of sending a reset to a device
or panel), or the original device itself (such as an alarm
server which originally went off-line and is coming back
on-line). Devices can send more than one off-normal
event before the related return state event is sent, for
example a fire panel may have more than one alarm
state, and these will not clear until all events have
cleared and the panel reports an all clear state.
Panel A panel is a central gateway that connects a
number of related devices together. For example, a fire
panel might have smoke detectors, pull-stations,
sprinkler systems, and sirens all connected at the panel.
This also allows the Workstation to communicate
directly with the panel instead of the individual device.
Parent Screen In the Navigation Trees outline view,
the highest level is the Title Screen. The Gateways,
nodes, and devices that branch off of it are its Child
Screens. A parent screen can have zero or many child
screens. The highest level is the Title Screen; it cannot
be a child.
Plug-In A Plug-In can be in one of two forms, either
an *.EXE application or a *.CFG configuration file.
Plug-In Applets are independently operating software
applications. They interface with the Workstation at the
local level. Configuration files act to create new menu
options by defining macro commands or sequences of
information for communicating with specific devices.
Configuration files may or may not launch independent
applications.
Point Icons An Admin User defined graphic element
on a Workstation screen. Each represents a physical
addressable device on the network.
Point ID The point identification (ID) is the eight
character alphanumeric address suffix for the monitored
point reported by the node. The Point ID for each
device must match the point ID reported by the node.
The point ID makes up the last 8 characters of a devices
absolute address.
Pop-Up Menu Pop-Up Menus provide the User with
device specific information and controls. The device
pop-up menu is activated by right-clicking-on any
addressable device. The menu that appears depends on
the point type, situation, and the access permissions of
the User. Some options are common to all addressable
devices, while others have functions that are point type
specific.
Pull-station A pull-station is a fire related device
which, when activated (generally by pulling a lever or
switch) triggers an alarm at the panel, activating audible
alarms and other pre-configured devices.
R
Receivers Gateway Acts as a bridge between the
supported digital alarm receivers and the ONYXWorks
system.
S
Screen Screens are the fundamental visual interface
between gateways and the User. Screens are displayed
in the Floor Plan Area of the main display. Each system
can contain numerous screens, and screens can contain
floor plans, graphics, and/or devices.
Screen Database The Screen Database holds
information for the backgrounds, devices, buttons, etc.
for all of the Workstation screens and gateways on the
ONYXWorks
system.
Security Alarm Event An event issued by security
related devices such as motion detectors, glass break
detectors, and door contacts.
Security Options User functionality and activity are
controlled by the assignment of security profiles. Each
User and Admin User is assigned a security profile with
their system member record. Security profiles contain a
list of all Workstation functions to which anyone
assigned to that profile is allowed access.
Single Ended Event An event that, once it is
received, leaves the sending device in the same
condition that it was in originally.
Site A site is the physical location being protected by
an ONYXWorks
system that is
currently being displayed on the Workstations display. The Workstation floorplan area usually has
a building floor plan that is background layer and serves as the primary source for visual feedback
the location of an off-normal event in an ONYXWorks
system.
This is not a life-safety or security event, but an internal warning of a condition that may need
someones attentionsuch as the history file reaching 100,000 entries.
Disabled - Indicates all disabled points on the system.

What Happens When Acknowledged New Events Return to Normal
When the event returns to normal the following occurs on the Workstation.
Fire Control Mode only: In the New Events window, The off normal event vanishes from the
list.
Supervisor Station Mode: In the New Events window, the return to normal event remains in the
list.
In the Workstation floorplan area, the point icon returns to its normal condition color.
In the Alarm Summary window, the Alarm Counter list will decrement.
The corresponding Alarm Summary Icon returns to its normal condition color, provided there
are no other off-normal events of that type on the system.
In the Navigation Tree, the adjacent colored box will vanish, provided there are no other off-
normal conditions on those Workstation floorplan areas.
The sound should not be sounding from the Workstation. If a sound is still being emitted then
more events are present in the system.
FCC Mode or Supervising Mode Event Handling Comparison
Events are displayed the same way whether the Workstation is running in Fire Control Center
(FCC) mode or Supervising Station mode. Such as:
If the event is acknowledged at the panel Acked will be displayed prefixing the event in the
New Events list.
If the Workstation has node control of the point a colored box will display to the left of the
event in the Navigation Tree.
If the event is unreliable (meaning it was reported while a gateway or node was in fault) an *
will be displayed prefixing the event in the New Events list.
However the Workstation handles return-to-normal conditions and acknowledgements in a
significantly different way, depending on operating mode.

C.2.3 Managing Events
An event is defined as any change in the status of a device or a transfer of information between a
device and the Workstation or between two devices. Some of these events are considered
background and housekeeping events and are not seen by you on the Workstations display. Those
background and housekeeping events can be viewed with the View >Background Activation
command. The View >Armed/Disarmed Points command may be used to view events also.
The events that are of primary concern to you are off-normal events. An off-normal event indicates
activity or change that requires your attention and/or response. Refer to Appendix B, Details
about Event Data, on page 123 for information about events.
About New Events Priority Rating
In the New Events window, new events are listed according to the date and time that they occurred
and they are further defined by the highest to lowest priority of the event.
For example:
A fire alarm event with the same time and date as a trouble event will display higher in the
list.
A fire alarm event with the more recent date and time will be listed above a fire alarm
event with older date and time.
About Off-Normal Events
A change in condition or activation of a monitoring device (Motion Detectors, Smoke Alarms,
etc.).
A door is ajar.
A node becomes disconnected from the network.
A Monitoring device is disconnected from its monitoring node.
Single Off-Normal Events
A single event that, once it is received, leaves the sending device in the same condition that it was
in originally. Single events do not represent a lasting change of condition. A single event is
removed from the Acknowledged Events list after it is acknowledged.
Paired Off-Normal Events
If a single event is paired with another event, one event can move to the Acknowledged Events list
after it is acknowledged, but it remains in the Acknowledged Events list until its paired event is
acknowledged. Once an acknowledge to the related pair events is performed, both events are
removed from New Events and added to the Acknowledged Events list.
Fire alarms actually latch a FACP and require that the panel be reset. Therefore, alarm states will
remain in the New Event list until the fire alarm control panel (FACP) associated with the alarm
states it is reset. Alarm-off states that have been acknowledged will clear once the panel is reset
and all the panels devices have returned to a normal condition.

Point Right Click Choices to Respond to Events
Addressable Devices have right-click menus that provide you with a list of choices that are device
specific information and used to control a device. The choices that appear in menu depends on the
type of device, the situation, and your Security Option permissions. The following descriptions are
provided for an overview of some right-click menus options:
<Point Description> Selecting the top line Device Description displays window which
shows the devices provided description. This description may have been entered by the
Admin User or the description was read from a panel on the system.
Enter User Response This choice displays a window with predefined User responses for
reporting various conditions and operations related to the device. There is also a custom field
for text-entry if a unique situation occurs. The selected response is logged to the history file.
History of Device Opens the History Manager window that displays the history information
relating to the selected device.
View or Play: Text, Bitmap, Video, Audio Only if the device has an asterisk displayed
adjacent to a choice, it has linked media and an choice will also display in the list of choices.
Zoom This choice allow the selection of various zoom levels and a return to the previous
zoom level choice. When a zoom is selected, the zoom will center on the current mouse
pointer location.
An asterisk next to a choice indicates that another Workstation has control of the device; a
Workstation must have control of a device to perform a command for the device.
Send a Voice Page
You can send a voice page to sites on the network.
Step 1. Main Menu select Action >Voice Paging
Step 2. Click-on Activate Voice Paging check-box (check mark showing).
Step 3. Click-on Start Paging.
Step 4. On the Workstation keyboard, press and hold both the Shift and Ctrl keys and speak into
the microphone.
There is a five second delay in the voice page. If no sound is detected for 45 seconds,
Paging Zones time-out and a trouble event is generated at the Paging Zone.
NOTE: Supervision Station Mode Only. When an event is acknowledged at a Workstation the
event is only acknowledged locally. That acknowledgement does not affect the event status or
device on other Workstations on the network unless the acknowledging Workstation has control
of that device.
