 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

1 Introduction
This manual provides recommended procedures
for the successful configuration of a complete
Honeywell XLS80e Series integrated Fire Control
System (including repeater panels). The
procedures also apply for XLS80e Series
stand-alone Fire Control units.

The XLS80e Series intelligent fire alarm

controllers are designed for use with
Honeywell’s range of addressable analogue
sensors, control and monitoring modules and
addressable call points. A unique signalling
protocol is used, with digital address and
control signals and analogue pulse width
monitoring for the reply data from devices.

The serial communications interface operates

under RS485 protocol. It enables the
connection between control panels and
repeaters.

1.1 Associated Documents

This manual should be read in conjunction with
the following documents:

a. XLS80e Series Installation &

Commissioning Manual
b. XLS80e Series Operating Manual
(ref. 997-474-000-x).

1.2 System Design and Planning

It is assumed that the system, of which the
XLS80e Series fire control equipment is a part,
has been designed by a competent fire alarm
system designer in accordance with the
requirements of EN54 Part 14, BS 5839 Part 1:
1988 and any other local codes of practice that
are applicable.

Be aware that....

This manual is not intended to be a fire

detection system design guide and should only
be used by (or under the supervision of) a
qualified system design engineer.

Some features of the XLS80e Series control

panel may, if used inappropriately, contravene
EN54-2: 13.7 the requirements of EN54. Where there is a
Maximum of 512 possibility of such an occurrence, a suitable
Sensors and/or MCPs warning is given with brief details of the EN54
per panel unless requirement. A typical EN54 non-compliance
ELIBs are used warning is illustrated at left.

2 Power On/Start Up
To power up the system from a completely
powered-down condition:

1 Connect the two leads (A) from within the

panel to the two 12 V sealed lead-acid
batteries and then fit one end only of the
supplied interlink (B).
2 Connect and switch on the mains supply.
3 Connect the interlink to the remaining
terminal - but see item a. below.

After a few seconds the Status: NORMAL

display appears, indicating that the panel is
now ready to accept panel configuration
instructions. If the display is too dark to read,
adjust the contrast (see Section 3.3.2.1).

IF BATTERIES ARE NOT CONNECTED WITHIN Be advised that....

60 SECONDS OF POWER-ON:
a. If the battery connections are not completed
within 60 seconds of the mains supply
being switched on, the panel will indicate a
charger/battery fault. If this occurs:

1 Press the MUTE BUZZER pushbutton to

silence the buzzer (access level 1 or 2,
depending upon panel configuration).
2 After all necessary connections are
completed, press the RESET pushbutton
to clear the fault condition (access level 2).

ALL FAULT INDICATIONS ARE CANCELLED

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

b. If the panel has not been configured with

any sensor or module data, i.e. the normal
system status at initial power up, the panel
displays ‘*UNCONFIGURED*’ unless it is
part of a network, in which case it displays
‘NORMAL’.

Powering up a network - special considerations

Master/Slave network
The following is recommended:
i When configuring a panel (either directly
or using the Offline Support Tool), first
disconnect the panel from the network.
When the COMMS FAIL message is
displayed (may take up to 2 minutes for a
Slave), press MUTE BUZZER to stop the
buzzer.
ii When all panels have been configured,
remove power from all of them. Connect
the Master panel to the network - set the
termination link on its RS485 PCB to the
‘ON’ (lower) position if it is not already so
configured (see Section 6 of the XLS80e
Series Installation and Commissioning
Manual).
iii Power-on just the Master panel. Wait until it
reports COMMS FAIL. Use MUTE BUZZER
to mute the buzzer. Wait one minute.
iv Connect and power-on each Slave panel
and Repeater in turn. There is no time
restriction on doing this. When all the
panels have been powered-on, wait one
minute, then press the RESET pushbutton
at the Master panel. The network should
stabilise (i.e. no error messages or buzzers).
v If the site arrangement does not require that
a termination link be set at the Master (see
Section 6 of the XLS80e Series Installation
and Commissioning Manual), fit the
termination links at the correct panels and
then set the link at the Master panel to the
‘OFF’ (upper) position. This can be done
with the system powered-on.
XLSNET peer-to-peer network
When all panels have been powered-up, allow
time for the network to settle. When no new fault
messages are being generated, press RESET.

3 Panel Configuration Overview

This section gives a brief guide to the methods
for configuring the XLS80e Series panels.

3.1 Where to Access the Configuration

Actions
The panel can be configured at one of the
following:

a. The panel, using its controls and indicators.

This is the slowest method, so the
manufacturer recommends that you only
use this method to perform small-scale
operational amendments after the panel is
fully commissioned. Refer to Section 3.3.

OR

b. Off-line, using a Personal Computer (PC,

e.g. a laptop) running the Off-line Support
Tool. The updated configuration is
subsequently uploaded to the panel via its
internal RS232 port. Refer to Section 3.4.

Access 3 At the start

The Access 3 passcode is required to configure
* * * the panel. Refer to Section 3.5.

At the finish

A ‘Confirm Changes’ prompt is displayed. The

changes you have made are not permanently
stored in the panel’s memory unless you press
to select ‘confirm’. If you press to select
‘cancel’, the changes are lost.

3.3 Using the Panel Controls and

Indicators
All of the configuration operations described in
this manual can be done using the panel
pushbuttons and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD),
with no external equipment required.

The panel remains ‘on watch’ during the

configuration sequence, and will therefore
respond appropriately to any fire or fault
conditions that arise.

The manufacturer recommends that you keep

a secure copy of the system configuration on a
PC as a backup, in case of difficulties in the
configuration sequence.

3.4 Using the Off-line Support Tool

This is a means of preparing the configuration
data, using an optionally-supplied software tool
which you can use without any connection to
the panel:

i. Save the prepared data to your PC hard disk.

ii. When the panel is ready to accept the
configuration data, simply connect it to your
PC, for the final data transfer to be made.
The XLS80e Off-line Support Tool is a complete
package for off-line configuration preparation. It
is supplied with all necessary panel configuration
instructions, consequently no further details are
given here.

This software package is available from

HONEYWELL or your supplier (Part Number:
020-558-100).

3.5 Passcodes
A passcode is required for all configuration
functions. You will be asked for the passcode
at the appropriate time (Sections 4.4.1 and 12.1
give examples). There are three access
passcodes:

Access 2 - Permits operation of the panel

Access 2 pushbutton controls and provides access to
all menus except the Configuration menu.
* * * It can be overridden by the panel keyswitch.

Access 3 Note: Some menus have options which can

only be accessed using an Access 3 or
* * * Access 3A passcode; these options are
described in Section 12.
Access 3A
Access 3 - Provides access to the
* * * * * Configuration menu. Most operations
described in this manual require this
passcode.
Access 3A - Certain operations (changing
passcodes, and panel settings) require this
passcode.
Default passcodes are supplied with the panel.
These can be changed and the manufacturer
strongly recommends that you do so once

There are two learn methods:

a. Auto-Learn. Loop device decisions are made

without the need for user intervention. Refer
to Section 5.3.2.
b. Manual Learn. Prompts the user each time
a new or changed device is detected. Refer
to Section 5.3.3.

Limitations on the Number of Devices

The XLS80e Series Control Panel design allows

for the connection of up to 198 loop devices per
analogue loop; i.e. up to 99 sensors and 99
modules. The maximum number of devices per
panel is:

a. 1584, if the Enhanced Loop Interface Board

(ELIB) is used for loops 3 to 8.
b. 512, if the Loop Interface Board (LIB) is used
for loops 3 to 8.
To comply with EN54-2 in the event of a system

3.9 Text Editing

There are three types of text that can be entered
and edited:

a. The panel or site name.

b. The zone description.
c. The device location text, which is shown on
the display when the system status is not
normal (i.e. alarm, test etc.). The device
description is also used at the printer, if
fitted.
The text is entered and edited from a text editor
which uses the LCD and the panel pushbuttons.
Refer to Section 6.

For panel and zone descriptions, the text editor

is invoked from dedicated menu options
(Sections 6.4 and 6.3 respectively). For device
location text it is invoked during the Configure
Devices on Loops procedure (Sections 5.1.2.3
and 5.1.4.3) or Virtual Point Configuration
procedure (Section 15).

XLS80e: 3.14 System Networking

STAND-ALONE
The XLS80e Fire Control system is designed
so that control panels can work either as stand-
alone units or networked with other panels.
When networked, each panel supervises its
own detection system of up to eight loops of
OR sensors and modules and functions
independently of all other panels.
MASTER/SLAVE NETWORK
A communication system enables events at
any panel to be relayed to other panels. This
causes appropriate annunciations and actions
at those panels.

Network Programming
RS485
The XLS80e Series panel can be used with one
of two networks:

a. Master/Slave network. Refer to Section 14

for further information.
b. XLSNET peer-to-peer fault-tolerant network.

3.15 Delays
Either the sounders or the fire alarm routing
equipment (remote fire outputs) which is used
to summon the fire brigade can be delayed:

a. To activate sounders immediately but delay

the remote fire outputs, use the Day/Night
Modes Configuration Option
(Section 11.19). The delay may be
extended to allow investigation. MCPs are
normally configured to override any delay.
b. To delay sounders but activate the remote
fire outputs immediately, use the Control
Matrix to put an output delay on modules of
type BELL (Section 7.6.2.2). The delay
must then be enabled by the Operator (see
997-474, Operating Manual Section 7.5).
MCPs are normally configured to override
any delay.

3.16 Virtual Point Configuration

Up to 64 Virtual Input Points and up to 512
Virtual Output Points can be configured. They
are used with external systems (e.g. a Voice
Alarm panel) with which they communicate via
an RS232 port. They must be placed in a zone;
they then become possible inputs to or outputs
from the Control Matrix. Further information is
given in Section 15.

4 The Display - Tabs, Events

and Menus
4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 Status: NORMAL

The Status: NORMAL display appears when:

a. No alarm or test conditions exist, and

b. No menus are being accessed.

4.1.2 Tabs
When conditions other than Status: NORMAL
exist, the LCD displays event data. More than
one type of data may be available for display
at any one time (eg, Fire Alarms, Faults, Menus
etc.). When this occurs, the types of data
available are identified by tabs at the bottom
of the display.

4.1.3 Events
Fire Alarms, Pre-alarms, Faults, Disablements,
Tests, Evacuate mode and Auxiliary input
activations are shown on Event displays. A
Fault event display is shown.

4.1.4 Menus
Menus displays are arranged in a heirarchy,
the top of which is a User Menu from which
other menus are accessed.

4.2 Tabs
When tabs are displayed, use the CHANGE
TABS key to scroll through the tabs and thus
display the corresponding data.

The tabs are (in descending order of priority):

EXTINGUISHING (if about to release;

otherwise priority is below FIRE)
FIRE
TECH. ALARM
PRE-ALARM
FAULT
DISABLE
TEST
EVACUATE
AUX
MAINT (access level 3 only unless Maintenance

The tabs are displayed in this order from left

to right. All the tabs display events except for
the USER and SERVICE tabs, which display
menus. The current tab is that without a line
above it.

Note: If there is insufficient room to display all

the tabs, the ones at the right (those with
the lowest priority) are omitted.
Use ZONES IN ALARM to go directly to the
FIRE tab without scrolling through the other
tabs. If there is more than one zone in alarm,
subsequent operations of the ZONES IN
ALARM pushbutton scroll through these
zones.

Note: If the FIRE tab is present but not

selected, and for 20 seconds none of
the panel pushbuttons are pressed, the
FIRE tab is then selected automatically.
Note: If the SERVICE or USER tab is selected,
and for 2 minutes none of the panel
pushbuttons are pressed, the tab is
deselected automatically and all
passcodes are cancelled (except the
access level 2 passcode when the
keyswitch is set to the horizontal
position).

Note: FIRE, FAULT, DISABLEMENT, or TEST

LEDs illuminate (also ZONE LEDs, if
fitted) as appropriate.
Example event displays are shown at the left.
In general, to move through the displays:

a. If more than one zone is affected by the

event, use the and arrows to scroll
through the zones. For FIRE events these
arrows scroll through device data; ZONES
IN ALARM scrolls through the zones.
b. If more than one device is affected, use the
and arrows to scroll through the
devices and device descriptions.
If a FIRE event occurs and the CHANGE TABS
pushbutton is used to display other data, the
display area is reformatted so that the top two
lines continue to display fire information.

Further details about the event displays and

their operation are given in the XLS80e Series
Operating Manual, 997-474.

is identified by a reference number in the range
1 to 99 (i.e. maximum of 99 devices in a zone).
When a device’s zone number is configured
the device is automatically given the first
available reference number by default.

To change this default, either enter one of the

unused reference numbers from the display,
or a reference number that is already used by
a device. If the latter is chosen, the option to
swap the number for that device with one of
the unused numbers is provided automatically
(see below). If the swap is not accepted then
the entered number is rejected.

Cell Number
Devices can optionally be placed in a cell in
addition to a zone. Certain Control Matrix

MCS. The alarm and pre-alarm ranges do not
overlap, except for MULT and MCS for which
the alarm must be set lower than the pre-alarm
for pre-alarm supervision to work (set it equal
or higher if pre-alarm supervision is not
required). For other sensor types the pre-alarm

The alarm, short-circuit and open-circuit
supervision options can be configured. They
are the means of enabling or disabling
supervision of FIRE alarms, short-circuit faults
and open-circuit faults and relate to the
monitored load. They indicate that standard
termination supervision is checked (ON) or
ignored (OFF) respectively. See Section 13
for recommendations.

SELECTION
For CDI and ZMX the S/C supervision option
is not supported. It is set to OFF and cannot
be changed (a short-circuit in the supervised
zone is detected as a fault of open-circuit).
Note: Control Modules CMX used as outputs
and with the ‘tabs’ snapped off, and the

5.1.4.6 Edit Priority Option

Edit priority polling in the same manner as
described for sensors (see Section 5.1.2.6).
If CDI or ZMX modules are used to connect
conventional MCPs: to meet the response time
specified in BS5839 Part 1 para. 20.2(b), set
these modules to priority and do not exceed

Module PULSE Options

This option also applies to inputs derived from

an AUX input module. It determines whether
this module, if activated in pulsing mode, will

a. The pulse mode is immediate, so will have

will have priority over the pulse mode.
The output is therefore in pulse mode for the

same output device.

7.8.2 Minimum Configuration

A minimum configuration requires:

a. At least one Control Matrix alarm entry. If

an AUTO/MANUAL ONLY switch is
installed, at least two alarm entries will be
required (one for the auto + manual case
and one for the manual only case). If an
IMMEDIATE release switch is provided, an
alarm entry is required for this case also.
b. A Non-fire Control Matrix entry to define
each Extinguishing System-unique switch
on the system (e.g. Abort, Hold etc.).
c. An Extinguishing Control Matrix entry for
each module that is activated/deactivated
in response to the alarm and non-fire
entries (e.g. sounders, strobes, direction
valve, release module etc.).
More complex systems may require numerous
rules, including alarm rules that do not have
an extinguishing system as an output (e.g. a
rule to activate sounders when sensors detect
an alarm but the extinguishing system is set
to OFF).

Use co-incidence rules to prevent non-fire

devices activating the release when there is
no alarm.

7.8.4 HOLD Options

The HOLD switch may have one of four effects
on the delay timer. Each effect has a three-
character name:
AHJ - When HOLD is deactivated, the timer
starts again from its configured value.
To configure on XLS80e:
1 Set non-fire to ‘HOLD mode: RE-START
or EXTEND timer’.
2 Leave activation delay at the panel’s default
value.
NYC - When HOLD is deactivated, the timer
starts again from a length of time longer than
its configured value.
To configure on XLS80e:
1 Set non-fire to ‘HOLD mode: RE-START
or EXTEND timer’.
2 Set activation delay to a period longer than
the panel’s default value.
ULI - When HOLD is activated, the timer is
paused at a configured number of seconds
before release. When HOLD is deactivated
the timer restarts from this pause time.
To configure on XLS80e:
1 Set non-fire to ‘HOLD mode: Run timer then
PAUSE’.
2 Ensure the Alarm entries are ‘AUTO
Release’/’Manual Release’.
IRI - As ULI but HOLD switch activity is ignored
if two or more zones are in co-incident alarm.

7.9.1 Example Logic Operations

Precedence: All entries which have the ‘AND’
operator together with the inverse of all entries
which have ‘AND-NOT’ are AND’ed together.
The result is then OR’ed with all entries which
have the ‘OR’ operator.
Note: The order in which the entries appear
in the Control Matrix has no effect.
If any entries have an AND-NOT operator,
there must be at least one entry with an AND
operator using the same Transfer Flag.

inputs in both Zone 1 and in Zone 5 are
Zone 1 Flag 26 [AND]
activated (Zone co-incidence) but no inputs in
Zone 2 Flag 26 [AND-NOT] Zone 2 are activated.
Zone 3 Flag 26 [OR]

Zone 5 Flag 26 [AND]
Flag 26 Activate Zone 20 (Zone 1 AND (NOT Zone 2) AND Zone 5) OR
Zone 3 OR Zone 4 will activate Zone 20.

This example uses Transfer Flag 26.

Example 2 - Use of two Transfer Flags Example 2 shows how to use two Transfer
INPUT STATEMENT OUTPUT STATEMENT flags so that ‘OR’ operations are performed
Zone 1 Flag 26 [OR] before ‘AND’ operations. Outputs in Zone 20
Zone 3 Flag 26 [OR] are activated if any input in Zones 1, 3 or 4 is
activated in co-incidence with any input in
Zone 4 Flag 26 [OR]
Zone 5, but no inputs in Zone 2 are activated.
Flag 26 Flag 28 [AND]
Zone 2 Flag 28 [AND-NOT]
Zone 5 Flag 28 [AND]
Flag 28 Activate Zone 20 The logic statement is:

(Zone 1 OR Zone 3 OR Zone 4) AND (NOT

Zone 2) AND Zone 5 will activate Zone 20.

Note: This example uses Transfer Flags 26

and 28. The numbering of Transfer
Flags has no significance other than to
identify them.

Example 3 - Logic operations with delayed output Examples 3 and 4 show how to incorporate a
delay (delays cannot be included in the same

entry as the logical operation).
Zone 1 Flag 26 [AND]
Zone 2 Flag 26 [AND-NOT] Example 3 is the same as Example 1 apart

Example 5 - Input priority Example 5 shows how to arrange inputs (in

this case zones) in priority:
INPUT STATEMENT OUTPUT STATEMENT
Zone 21 Flag 1 [AND] i An input from Zone 21 activates sounder
Zone 22 Flag 1 [AND-NOT] circuit 3, unless
Zone 23 Flag 1 [OR] ii There is an input from Zone 22, in which
Flag 1 Flag 2 [AND] case the sounder circuit is turned off, unless
Zone 24 Flag 2 [AND-NOT]
iii There is an input from Zone 23, in which
Flag 2 Activate Sounder Circuit 3
case the sounder circuit is turned on, unless
iv There is an input from Zone 24, in which
case the sounder circuit is turned off.
Thus Zone 24 has priority over Zone 23, which
in turn has priority over Zone 22, which in turn
has priority over Zone 21.

The logic statement is:

(Zone 21 AND (NOT Zone 22)) OR Zone 23)

AND (NOT Zone 24) will activate sounder

9 Time-of-Day Programming
This facility lets you modify the function of the
panel at certain times of day. The major time-
of-day controlled functions are:

a. Sensor sensitivity (Section 5.1.2.7).

b. Control Matrix actions (Section 7.6.2.2).
EN54-2: 9.1.2 c. Cancelling all disablement conditions on the
Disablement and panel (non EN54-2 compliant)
re-enablement MUST be (Section 11.7).
a manual operation. This section describes how to edit and use a
time-of-day program.

Note: A Control Matrix entry can be used to

control the Disable and Enable functions,
independent of the Disablement Panel
Settings (see Section 7.7, Disablement/
Enablement Function).
Up to seven time-of-day programs can be in
operation in any one panel. The programs
operate completely independently of each
other. Any particular sensor sensitivity or
Control Matrix action may be modified
according to one of the programs.

9.1 Time-of-day Program Editing

The Time-of-day editing procedure is common
to all these applications. A typical program
consists of one or two daily periods specified by
start and end times, with an optional alternative
for weekends. For example, this display:
-MTWTF- 0830-1040 1800-0600
S - - - - -S 0830-1040 1800-0700

indicates that from Mondays to Fridays the

‘active’ periods of the program are 08:30 to
10:40 inclusive, and 18:00 to 06:00 the
following day. On Saturdays and Sundays the
periods are 08:30 to 10:40 and 18:00 to 07:00
the following day.

When editing a Time-of-day program that

applies to the Disablement Panel Settings (see
Section 11.7), the ‘start’ times of each period
are irrelevant and are omitted from the display,
which then looks like this:
-MTWTF- 1040 0600
S - - - - -S 1040 0700

85 Honeywell, Issue 9
March 2007

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

Note: To specify a ‘complete’ 24 hour period,

split the 24 hours into two parts; e.g. one
running from 00:00 to 12:00 and the
other running from 12:00 to 00:00.
These parts combine to provide the
required ‘24 hour’ day.
It is possible to have no variation with day of
the week: in such cases the first line of the
program shows:
SMTWTFS 0830-1040 1800-0600

Also, only one period per day need be

specified.

To edit the Time-of-day, use and to

move through the time-of-day display and
and to alter each setting:

1 If the Time-of-day program applies to a

sensor, set the number of levels MORE or
LESS that the sensitivity will alter by (the
word MORE changes to LESS and vice
versa as you pass through zero).

2 Set which days of the week the top row of

times will apply to, and which days of the
week the bottom row of times will apply to
(in this example two consecutive days have
been changed; this allows you to re-define
the ‘weekend’).

3 Set the time periods for the top row, and

then for the bottom row.
Note: The cursor cannot be positioned in the
‘units’ column of the ‘minutes’, because
the minutes are set to 10 minute
increments.
Note: Inadmissible times (i.e. greater than
23:50) are always adjusted down as you
edit.

4 After the last time field, press the

pushbutton to display the manual override
option and select manual override either
ENABLED or DISABLED (see
Section 9.2).

5 Press to complete the edit.

TIME-OF-DAY EDIT IS COMPLETE

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

Additional information about time fields

If a ‘start time’ is earlier than the corresponding

‘end time’, a ‘day’ period is assumed; if the ‘start
time’ is later than the ‘end time’ the period is
considered to be a ‘night’ period. If both start and
end times are set to ‘00:00’ the period is regarded
as not in use. If both start and end times are the
same time, other than ‘00:00’, this is a special
program only meaningful in conjunction with
‘manual override’ (see Section 9.2, Manual
Override).

Where two daily periods are programmed they

may overlap or abut one another without
causing the panel to malfunction. However, this
practice is not recommended as it may be
confusing. Also, if there is an inconsistency
between weekdays and weekends, as regards
the day and night periods, as in the following
example:
-MTWTF- 0830-1040 1800-0600
S - - - - -S 0830-1040 1800-1900
the weekday ‘overnight’ period is deemed to
end at midnight on Friday and start again at
midnight on Sunday. Again, this type of
combination should be avoided.

Using an existing time-of-day program

1 When the time-of-day display (but not the

Manual Override option) is shown on the
LCD, press .

2 Use and to step through the existing

time-of-day programs, if any. The maximum
number of programs is seven.

3 Press to select the currently-displayed

program.

THEN

9.2 Manual Override

If Manual Override is set to ENABLED in
the-time-of-day program, an additional item
‘Time-of-day Program Over-ride’ appears on
the User menu (it is available at access level
2 and above).

87 Honeywell, Issue 9
March 2007

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

If you select OVER-RIDE SET then the current

action of the time-of-day program is reversed:
i.e. if currently within a time period, the
behaviour reverts to that applicable outside the
period, and vice versa. The override holds until
the next changeover time is reached and,
thereafter, the action reverts to that specified
in the program.

To cancel the override and revert to the

configured options, select OVER-RIDE NOT
SET.

There is a special case where you have set

up identical start and end times, e.g.:
SMTWTFS 1730-1730
To avoid confusion, enable
the Manual Override This is particularly useful in installations which
option for only one require a manual-only switch to day mode,
time-of-day program. followed by an automatic switch back to night
mode. In the absence of any manual override,
this program remains permanently disabled - i.e.
Control Matrix actions attached to this program
are always carried out. However, if Manual
Override is enabled and you select it, the program
now becomes active and attached Control Matrix
actions are suppressed until the time next
reaches 17.30 (on the same day or the next).

For example, to set up a particular Day/Night

mode switch, program a Control Matrix entry with
immediate effect and the above timetable, plus
a Control Matrix entry with delayed action and
no time-of-day restrictions. Then OVER-RIDE
SET may be used to select day mode (when
output actions are delayed) and again to revert
to night mode; the panel will also revert
automatically to night mode at 17.30 in the
example.

9.3 DISABLEMENT and ENABLEMENT

Override
The DISABLEMENT and ENABLEMENT
Override allows the use of OVER-RIDE SET to
enable a one-shot advance on the next
programmed change-over time for
DISABLEMENT and ENABLEMENT operations.
For example, if a zone is disabled using a time-
of-day program set to be active from 21:00 to
19:30 hours and you select OVER-RIDE SET at
20:00 hours, the zone will be enabled and not
be disabled again until the following day at 19:30
hours.

9.4 MULTI Thermal-Only Mode

If the thermal-only mode of these sensors is
to be used, normally the sensors will be
configured to operate as combined smoke/
heat sensors during the night/weekend, and
thermal-only sensors during the day. This can
be done either by a Time-of-Day program or
via the panel’s Day Mode pushbutton, however
both options are configured via the Time-of-Day
parameter during loop device configuration.

Using Time-of-Day Program

Set the alarm level required for combined

operation (e.g. at the default L3), then enable
Time-of-Day editing and continue selecting ‘LESS
sensitive by’ until the ‘Thermal-only mode’ display
appears (see opposite). Edit the days and times
at which the Thermal-Only mode L6 is to operate.
CONTINUE TO SELECT ‘LESS SENSITIVE BY’ Note: Although it is possible to configure the
UNTIL THE THERMAL-ONLY MODE DISPLAY alarm level at L6 and then use Time-of-
APPEARS, THEN SET THE TIMES AT WHICH THIS Day to set a ‘MORE sensitive by’ level,
MODE WILL APPLY. this is not recommended because any
day/night linkage will operate the wrong
way round.
Manual Override can be configured as
described in Section 9.1. However, if
pushbutton control of thermal-only mode is
required the Link to Day/Night Switch method
described below may be preferred.

9.5 Link to Day/Night Switch

Any sensor can be configured such that a
sensitivity lower than its normal alarm setting
becomes active (or inactive, if already active)
when the panel’s Day Mode switch is operated.
After configuring the normal alarm setting,
select ‘Time-of-Day’, then select ‘LESS
sensitive by’ to obtain the required day
sensitivity. Leave all the times at zero and
press . The ‘Link to Day/Night Switch’ option
is displayed. Use the and pushbuttons
to select ENABLED, then confirm by pressing
.

Note: In this case do not set a Time-of-Day

program specifically for this device - it
would conflict with the Day/Night mode
selection process. A Time-of-Day
program can be set for Day/Night mode
as described in Section 11.19.
For Multi-criteria sensors this option can also
be selected for thermal-only mode (select
‘LESS sensitive by’ until ‘Thermal-only mode’
is displayed, see example opposite).

10 Setting the Clock

Use this menu option after any Time Zone
change, e.g. start/end of British Summer Time
(if not configured for auto-adjust), and after
the system has been fully powered-off (in the
latter case the system will start-up at midnight
on the last date on which it had been operating,
or at the time when the clock was last reset,
whichever was the later).

To set the clock:

1 Display the Setting Clock screen. The clock

display will be ‘frozen’, with the last digit of
the seconds field highlighted.

2 To adjust the date and time, use the

and pushbuttons to move the cursor
over the field to be changed. Use the
and pushbuttons to adjust the value of
the field to give the current date and time.
Note: The date, time and last two digits of the
year can also be entered directly using
the numeric pushbuttons.
3 If the clock is not keeping good time, adjust
its rate - the default value is 0, max. +/-246
then confirm at the prompt. To determine
the value to enter, measure the increase
or decrease in clock time over the course
of a week. This function is not available if
Set Clock is accessed via the access 2
passcode.
4 Summer Time - select one of the following:
a. NONE. Time changes must be set
manually.
b. AUTO. Time changes automatically at 2am
on the days indicated on the screen.
c. DEFINED. Time changes automatically at
2am on user-defined dates. Valid only for
the current year (after which the system
resets to NONE).

5 After all fields have been adjusted correctly,

press to start the clock running at the
precise time shown, or press to cancel
the whole operation and return to the
previous clock setting.

11.2 LED ‘Blinking’ Mode

The factory default setting is BLINK. If you
select NON-BLINK, the LEDs will not blink
during normal scanning but only when the
device is in alarm or under test, or under certain
fault conditions.

The BLINK and NON-BLINK settings apply to

all devices on the system that are individually
configured to ‘Follow Panel Setting’.

‘Temporary BLINK’ overrides the individual

device configuration. It is provided to identify
devices that are installed but not connected to
the loop (i.e. these devices will not blink, all
others will). Temporary BLINK times out after
2 hours.

Note: Details of how to configure the LEDs on

individual devices to blink, not blink or
follow the panel setting are given in
Section 5.1.2.9, LED Blink Options.

If either BLINK or temporary BLINK is selected,

the blink interval option is displayed. This
Panel Settings allows the device blink rate to be reduced (0 =
Minimum Sensor/Module LED Blink Interval normal blink rate, other values introduce a

for use with very lightly-populated loops, on
which the device LEDs blink rapidly.

Note: If this option is set to a value other than

0, ensure that priority polling is set OFF
for all devices.

No report is generated by the panel unless a
sensor fails the test. In the unlikely event that
a sensor remains in an Alarm state (possibly

To set these options (confirm changes):
1 Set the signal degraded monitoring period
within the given range. For each device, the
system counts the number of corrupted
responses within the time, and issues the
‘Signal Degraded’ fault message if the
number exceeds a pre-determined limit.

2 Set the loop start-up boost period within the

given range. During this time the loop is
boosted to turn on all isolators.

Logging
This setting determines whether changes of
state of AUX inputs are recorded in the event
log as separate events, and whether the AUX
tab is displayed when the input is active.
Stand-alone panel - set to NOT LOGGED
because the inputs will be linked to other
actions via the Control Matrix (e.g. RESET)
which will themselves be logged, and logging
trivial events such as Class Change will rapidly
fill up the event log.
Network - if the Control Matrix rules on
network panels use AUX input events on
remote panels, those remote panels must have

LOGGING SETTING TAKES EFFECT If the panel is on an XLSnet network, the hold
time option is displayed after ‘Logged’ is
confirmed. This should normally be left at 0.
If the system contains a large number of AUX
modules that may be logged at once, there
could be network delays if an alarm occurs. To
prevent this, several AUX ‘logs’ can be reported
in a single message by setting a time delay
(should be as low as possible, consult your
supplier). These values have a decimal point
inserted automatically, i.e. to set 1 second enter
‘10’, to set 1.5 seconds enter ‘15’, to set 10
seconds (unlikely) enter 100.

13 Sensitivity & Alarm Delay

Recommendations
This section provides guidance in carrying out
the procedures described in Sections 5.1.2.4,
5.1.2.5 and 5.1.4.5. It should be consulted in
particular when modules are to have their
sensitivities and delays adjusted, since the
parameters vary according to the application.
13.1 Analogue Sensors Sensitivity
The sensitivity parameters of analogue sensors,
except Photo/Thermal (MULTI), are factory-set
so that the system complies with appropriate
standards (in particular EN54 Part 7). They will
not normally need adjustment except in special

different range as given in Section 5.1.3. MCS
sensors are described in Section 5.1.3.2.

13.2 Analogue Device Verification

To minimise the occurrence of unwanted alarm
or fault indications, a verification delay is
recommended between signals from the
device and the fire/pre-alarm/fault condition.
The device alarm and fault verification delays are
factory set as follows:

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

Note: ‘Device Missing’ faults are reported

immediately, but analogue level faults
are delayed as above.
You are advised to retain a delay on Fault and
Pre-Alarm events (note that the same
parameter is common to both), to allow for
sensor ‘settling’ time, especially after system
power-up. A Fire alarm delay should not
normally be set unless specific site conditions
make this necessary.

If a sensor is walk-tested the corresponding

delay is ignored.

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

14 Master/Slave Network
This section describes how to configure the
panel for use with a Master/Slave network only.
It does not describe the XLSNET peer-to-peer
network - refer to the XLSNET Appendix 3 for
information about this alternative network.

A panel cannot simultaneously be attached to

both types of network. However, if it is on the
XLSNET network, the Master/Slave network
can still be used for repeaters as described in
the XLSNET manual.

14.1 Introduction
The XLS80e Series control panels can work
either as stand-alone units or networked with
The Master/Slave
other control panels and repeaters. When
network does not
provide the transmission networked, each control panel supervises its
path integrity required own detection system of up to eight loops of
by EN54-2: 12.5.3 sensors and modules. It then functions
independently of all other panels.

An RS485 communication system enables

events at any panel to be relayed to all other
panels and repeaters, causing appropriate
annunciations and/or actions at those panels
or repeaters.

14.1.1 Number of Stations on Network

The network consists of one Master panel, a
number of Slave panels and (optional) a
number of Repeaters.

The term ‘Station’ is used to refer to the Master

panel, a Slave panel and a Repeater. The
network has a maximum of 32 stations.
Restrictions on the number of Slave panels
and Repeaters are detailed below.

14.1.1.1 Panels
Each Network must include one (and only one)
Master panel. This panel has overall control
of the network. It receives all networked
messages from the Slave panels and its
configuration determines how these are acted
upon and redistributed.

The network may also include up to seven

Slave panels. These panels have independent
control of their own local loops, and report any
local events to the Master panel.

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

14.1.1.2 Repeaters
The network may include up to 31 Repeaters,
but since the total number of stations cannot
exceed 32 there will probably be fewer
repeaters than this. For example, if there is a
Master and three Slaves, then up to 28
Repeaters can be installed; if there is a Master
and six Slaves, then up to 25 Repeaters can
be installed.

If the network has just one panel and a number

of repeaters, the panel’s station type is given
as ‘Standard’ instead of ‘Master’.

The Repeater can be configured to reproduce

either:

a. The display and pushbutton control

functions of the Master panel.
b. The display and pushbutton controls of one
of the Slave panels.
See the Repeater manual for a description of
how to configure the Repeater.

Repeaters can be associated with panels in

any order. For example, two or more
Repeaters can be associated with the same
Slave panel. These Repeaters need not have
consecutive numbers (see Section 14.2.1).

14.1.2 Number of Zones on Network

There are two types of zone available (see
Section 11.9 for how to select the type):

a. Local zones.
b. Network zones.

Local Zones
The maximum number of local zones on a
Master/Slave network with eight panels is
2040, made up of 255 (zones per panel) x 8
(number of panels). The zones are numbered
in the range 1 to 255 for each panel. If zone
indicator lamps are fitted, they only indicate
the status of that panel’s zones.

Network Zones - Master/Slave Network

The maximum number of zones is 2040 as for
local zones, but they are numbered in the
range 1 to 8192 with each number unique on
the network (a Network Zone Duplication Error
fault message is displayed if a number is used
more than once. Each panel has an internal
software table which maps the network zone
number to the panel internal zone number
(1 to 255).

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

On the Master/Slave network, remote network

zones cannot be selected from a menu. When
configuring the Control Matrix, the choice
‘Zones on this panel only/Zones on all network
panels’ is given. If the latter option is chosen,
the appropriate network zone number must be
entered via the panel pushbuttons. To display
the local zone number corresponding to a
network zone number that is owned by the
current panel, press the pushbutton (at
access level 2) - second operation re-displays
the network zone number.

If zone indicator lamps are fitted, they indicate

the status of the network zone numbers up to
a maximum of 256; higher numbers cannot
be indicated.

Network Zones - XLSNET (refer to

Appendix 3 for details of this network)

The maximum number of zones is 8160 (255

x 32 panels max.) numbered in the range 1 to
8192. Remote network zones can be selected
directly from menus. Other information is as
described for network zones on the Master/
Slave network.

14.1.3 Information Distribution via

Network
The protocol for information transfer via the
Network is mostly event-driven. When any
significant change-of-state occurs in a panel,
that panel sends a message to all other panels
and repeaters, with a full description of the
event. If the event involves a sensor or module,
full information about that device, including its
zone, device type, and text name (if any), are
included in the message. Accordingly, it is not
necessary for panels to store configuration
details for every device on every other panel,
since that information is made available to
them if the need arises.

In addition to event-driven communications,

time/status checks are broadcast around the
Network at regular intervals to assure the
correct functioning of all stations and to verify
clock synchronisation.

Note: It is not possible for two stations on the

Network to display different times on
their system clocks.

14.2 Network Configuration Procedures

Each panel on the network must be configured
with the following information:

a. A list of all the stations on the network.

b. Its own identity on the network (this panel).
c. For each repeater, which panel is being
repeated.
The list of stations and the repeater associations
must be consistent at each panel; i.e., if you have
described station 2 as a Slave when configuring
the Master, you must also describe it as a Slave
when configuring every other panel.

Note: You also need to name each station AT

14.2.1 Station Type

All Stations in a Network have a number. When
setting the station type for that number, follow
these rules:

a. Station number zero is always the Master

panel - this cannot be changed.
b. Slave panels can only exist at station
numbers 1 to 7.
c. Repeaters can only exist at station numbers
1 to 31.
d. Slave numbers and Repeater numbers may
be interleaved.
e. The station numbers must be continuous.
The network configuration edit display only
permits the addition of stations to the
network one at a time, in ascending order.

It is recommended that the

station numbering scheme
be kept as rational as
possible.

Appendix 3
XLSNET Peer-to-Peer Network

1 Configuring Panels on the

XLSNET Network
This procedure is performed at every panel
on the network.

1.1 Off-line Configuration Tool

The XLS80e Fire Panel Configuration Tool
(PN: 020-558-XXX) is a complete package for
off-line configuration preparation which
includes networking. This is expected to be
the normal method of configuring the network.
The instructions in this manual will allow
configuration if the support tool is unavailable.

1.2 Assigning Panels to the Network

Each panel must have a discrete network node
identifier. A ‘node’ is defined as a point on the
network that can be addressed by any other
point by its identification number. When the
‘XLSNET (Peer to Peer) Configuration’ menu
screen is displayed for the first time, no
configuration data will exist for any node on the
network. Data is entered at each node in turn,
until all have been assigned to the network. This
does not have to be done in any particular order.

The network setup menus are accessed

through the Access Level 3 (Service)
Configuration Menu.

From the Access Level 3 menu, use the

pushbutton to scroll down the menu until item
6 Configuration option is highlighted and press
the pushbutton to select it. Alternatively,
press the 6 pushbutton to select the
Configuration option.

Use the pushbutton to scroll down the

menu until item 5 is highlighted and press the
pushbutton, or push the 5 pushbutton,
to select Network Configuration.

Press the 2 pushbutton (or scroll down until

item 2 is highlighted and press the
pushbutton) to select the ‘XLSNET (Peer to
Peer) Configuration’ option.

 XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

Selection of the XLSNET Peer to Peer

Configuration option displays a tabular-form
screen (see left).

The following procedure has to be carried out

at every node on the network. To enter details
for any node, proceed as follows:

Navigate using the pushbutton until you have

reached the node which is to be first on the
network. With the cursor placed in the ‘Exists’
column, press the pushbutton until the
required type of node is displayed; either ‘Panel’
(nodes 1 to 32 only) or ‘Repeater’. This adds the
panel or repeater to the network. Repeat this
procedure for every panel on the network until
all have been defined. If a panel is added in error,
press the pushbutton until a blank field is
displayed.
Appendix 3

Note: A tick will be entered into the ‘Mon’

column (Mon = Monitored).
When you reach the node number you wish to
assign to the panel you are currently working at,
move the cursor to the ‘This’ column and press
the pushbutton. This selection must only
be done once for each panel. If you have made
an error, move the cursor up or down, using the
and pushbuttons, to the correct node
address and press the pushbutton; this action
will automatically clear the tick from the incorrect
position and place it at the new node selection.

Each panel on the network MUST have a

different node number.

If you want to define a panel as existing but

not yet connected to the network and to
suppress the fault messages that would
normally be generated for a missing panel,
move the cursor to the ‘Mon’ column and press
the pushbutton to clear the tick from that
column.

It should be noted, however, that clearing the

tick from the ‘Mon’ column does not suppress
alarm or fault messages coming from that
panel, only the fault message due to the panel
being missing from the network. If alarms or
faults from the panel are to be completely
suppressed, make sure ‘Exists’ column is
blank.

1.2.1 Location Text

To enter a panel location description, use the
pushbutton to move the cursor to the
‘Location’ column. Press the pushbutton
to display the text editing screen. Enter the
desired text for the panel (up to 32 characters
- including spaces - are permissable).

Note: How to use the text editor is described

in Section 6 of this manual.

Press the pushbutton to save the text entry.

The tabular-form screen is re-displayed with
the entered text highlighted now in the
‘Location’ column.

Once all data for that node has been entered,

this operation will have to be repeated at ALL
other stations on the network.

1.2.2 RS485 Repeaters

Note: This procedure is described assuming
that you are familiar with using the panel
control keys to navigate the menus and
how to make appropriate option
selections. If in doubt, refer to
Section 1.2 of this Appendix.
This option allows the configuration of
repeaters on networked panels using the
RS485 communications link. Refer to the
XLS80e Series Installation & Comissioning
Manual (ref. 997-473) for details on fitting the
RS485 PCB in the control panel.

To configure repeaters at a panel, proceed as

follows:

At the appropriate panel, from the Access

level 3 menu (Service) select the Configuration
option (item 6). From the CONFIGURATION
menu select option 5, Network Configuration
to display the ‘NETWORK Configuration’ menu
as shown:

Select option 4, Repeaters only Configuration.

Enter the number of repeaters and confirm
using the pushbutton.

If the RS485 PCB (PN: 020-479) is not fitted

in the panel and you try to configure repeaters
a fault tab is displayed. Make sure an RS485
PCB is correctly installed in any panel where
repeaters are to be configured. To clear the
FAULT tab, repeat the procedure by entering
a zero quantity for repeaters, confirm and press
RESET. Alternatively, fit an RS485 PCB and
repeat the procedure, entering the correct
number of repeaters.

Note: The RS485 PCB should only be fitted

with the panel powered down. Refer to
the XLS80e Series Installation &
Commissioning Manual.
