PEGAsys Configuration Software
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1 INTRODUCTION
This users guide describes the features and operation of PEGAsys Configuration Software (PCS), Version 8.1. The
application is a Microsoft Windows® program designed to speed configuration of PEGAsys Fire Control Units (FCUs)
through its graphical user interface. PCS adds powerful features to the PEGAsys Fire Alarm/Suppression system and
comes in two versions: PCS 8.1 SL (single-loop) and PCS 8.1 ML (multi-loop).
The application is intended to be used by engineers and service technicians using a desktop or laptop PC. The PC can
run the program off-line, building system configurations without being connected to a control unit. The program also
supports an on-line capability which allows users to connect to the system via an RS-232 link and gain access to the
user menus.
The program operates like a standard Windows application. A menu bar provides access to all available features and a
toolbar provides fast, single-button access to commonly used features. For a guide to how commands are presented in
the manual, see Style Conventions Used in this Manual in the preceding section.

1-6 LAUNCHING PCS

This program is a standard Windows® application which can be launched (started) by double-clicking the left-hand
mouse button while the pointer is over its associated icon. Once the program is running, the PCS main screen will
appear as shown in Figure 1-1. This window is referred to as the Main Screen.
PCS Ver. 8.1 1-2 May 2002

Figure 1-1. Main Screen
1-7 CONFIGURATION WORKSPACE FILES

PCSs operation revolves around the creation, editing, and saving of configuration files created in configuration work-
spaces. Therefore, PCS 8.1 is document oriented in the sense that the user is presented with a file menu, through
which configuration files may be opened, closed, and saved under various names. The file menu also includes a find
function which allows the user to locate configuration files on local hard-disk drives. Chapter 4, Menu Functions, ex-
plains PCSs menus and sub-menus in detail.
Each configuration file is a text document which contains all configuration data for a PEGAsys; the data is organized
into Topics which are defined as follows:
Summary. General system information
Loops. Used and unused loops; for multi-loop systems only
Loop Devices. All addressable loop devices on the RX/TX loop
I/O Modules. Relay, Release, City-Tie and Signal modules
Event-Output Control Program. Sequence of operation(s) for the control unit
Real-Time Control Program. Defines activations or adjustments to a system at set time intervals
Main-Processor Outputs. Output circuits on the CCM module
Day/Night Settings. Automatic Detector isolation/de-isolation times of operation
Network Setting. Network options configuration
Network Nodes Map. Network mapping
Annunciator Terminal Modules. Registration and description entries for each ATM.
Remote Display Control Module. Registration and description entries for each RDCM.
Remote Display Module. Registration and description entries for each RDM.
Configuration information for all topics is stored in the configuration file. The file has the suffix .PCF (for PEGAsys
Configuration File) and will usually be stored in the PCS installation directory (normally C:\KIDDE), although the user
may store it in the drive and directory of their choice.
May 2002 1-3 PCS Ver. 8.1

1-7.1 Configuration Workspace Window

In order to configure a PEGAsys, the user works in PCSs Configuration Workspace Windows. The windows title bar
(just below the buttonbar/toolbar) displays the configuration file name (the file name will be Untitled until saved by the
user under a new name) and the directory in which it is stored. The window also provides the user with a combo-box
labeled Topic: from which any of the configuration topics can be selected by clicking on the downward pointing arrow,
and making a selection from a drop-down list.
When a topic on the drop-down list is selected, the content of the window below it changes to display the items
appropriate to that topic (e.g., loop-device information for the loop-device topic).
Chapter 3 describes how the user interacts with the various components of the configuration workspace windows.
Figure 1-2. Workspace Window
1-8 PCS WORKSPACES

PCS provides the user with two configuration workspaces. A different configuration file can be loaded in each workspace.
Having two such workspaces allows comparison of a disk-based configuration in one workspace with a downloaded
configuration (or configuration file) in the other. At any time, a workspace window may be either visible or hidden. When
PCS is run for the first time, neither workspace window is visible (the workspaces are empty by default) and the main
screen appears as shown in Figure 1-1.
The menu bar changes to provide the user with the commands necessary to program the configuration file. Selected
menu commands (or corresponding toolbar buttons) act upon the active workspace window. Click on a workspace
window to make it active.
Both workspace windows may be shown at the same time, and may be tiled either horizontally or vertically (see Chapter
4). If both workspace windows are visible and one is subsequently hidden, the main screen resumes the appearance
of Figure 1-2.
1-9 THE PCS BUTTON BAR

To make frequently-used functions quickly available, PCSs user interface includes a button bar. A single mouse-click on
the appropriate button activates that function.
A copy of this button bar is shown in Figure 1-3. This figure will be referred to throughout the manual.

CHAPTER 2
FILE AND CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
2-1 CONFIGURATION FILES

The PCS program is document oriented; the user creates, edits, saves and compares files (called configuration files)
which contain all of the configuration information for an installation, organized by topic. All configuration file names have
an ".pcf" extension; for example, "config.pcf."
2-2 CREATING A CONFIGURATION FILE

Follow these steps to prepare for creation of a new configuration file:
1. Open a new configuration file by clicking on File from the main menu, then New from the drop-down menu (File >
New). Alternately, select the New File Icon (Figure 2-1) on the toolbar.
Figure 2-1. New File Icon

2. Using the window that opens, save the file with a file name of choice. The ".pcf" suffix will be added automatically. Limit
file names to eight alphanumeric characters.
3. Now complete each configuration topic as required, beginning with the Summary topic.
4. Step through the remaining topics, as required. Topics not completed will cause warnings to be generated during the
configuration verification operation.
5. Using Tools > Verify from the menu bar, or by clicking on the Verify Panel Configuration Icon (Figure 2-2), use the
verification warnings generated to compare the configuration file with desired system operation to ensure that the
system will operate as intended. See Paragraph 2-10 for details.
Figure 2-2. Verify Panel Configuration Icon

6. Save the file to safeguard against data loss. Use File > Save from the main menu or select the Save Configuration
Icon (Figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3. Save Configuration Icon

7. Confirm that the system hardware actually (Loop Devices and I/O Modules) matches the contents of the configuration
file. If differences are present, the PEGAsys will generate trouble condition(s) for each difference found by the CCM
after the configuration is uploaded.
8. After verifying the system hardware and software are correct, upload the file to the CCM as described in Paragraph
2-3.
May 2002 2-1 PCS Ver. 8.1

2-3 CONFIGURATION UPLOAD

Once a configuration has been created or modified, verified and saved, the user can upload it. With the system powered
up and the RS-232 interface cable (P/N 74-100016-00X) connected between the PC and the CCM's PC port, the user
initiates the upload by selecting the Upload Icon (Figure 2-4).
Note: PCS 8.1 does not support the upload of configuration files to CCMs using firmware versions earlier than 70.0.
Figure 2-4. Upload Icon

After selecting the Upload Icon, the user is prompted for the Level-2 system password (Level 2) before the upload opera-
tion can proceed. If the incorrect password is entered the program reverts to the previous configuration workspace.
Upon entering the correct password, the system displays the Upload Window (Figure 2-5). The control units buzzer will beep
and its Trouble LED will flash until the upload is completed. The horizontal bar shows the progress of the upload.
Figure 2-5. Upload Window
2-4 CONFIGURATION DOWNLOAD

To determine a particular system's configuration, use the Configuration-Download function to load the system's configura-
tion into a PC. Prior to downloading, the system must be powered and the RS-232 interface cable (P/N 74-100016-00X)
must be installed between the PC's serial port and the PC port of the CCM. To initiate download, select the Download Icon
(Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6. Download Icon

After selecting the icon, the user is prompted for the Level-2 system password before the download operation will pro-
ceed. Upon entering the correct password, the system displays the Download Window (Figure 2-7). The control units
buzzer will beep, and its "Trouble" LED will flash, until the download is complete.
PCS Ver. 8.1 2-2 May 2002

Figure 2-7. Download Window
2-5 ONLINE-DIRECT FUNCTION

The Online-Direct Function shows a simulated view of the LCD located on the PEGAsys front panel. This allows the user
to view information that would otherwise be shown only on the LCD. The online mode also gives access to menu and
scrolling functions as if the user were using the keypad on the CCM. However, the online function does not allow the user
to silence, reset, or acknowledge events occurring on the control unit.
Prior to initiating online direct operation, the system must be powered and the RS-232 interface cable installed between
the PC's serial port and the PC port of the CCM assembly. To initiate online direct operation, select the Online-Direct Icon
(Figure 2-8). After selecting this feature, the control units buzzer will sound, and its Trouble LED will flash.
Figure 2-8. Online-Direct Icon
2-6 HISTORY BUFFER DOWNLOAD FUNCTION

The CCM maintains a history file of the last 1,024 events for single-loop systems and 6,100 events for multi-loop systems.
These events include all alarms, troubles and operator actions such as: Acknowledge, Silence, Reset, and Drill. All events
are time and date stamped.
The Download-Buffer function is used transmit this history information to the connected PC. To initiate the download
operation, the user selects the Buffer-Download Icon (Figure 2-9).
Note: Because PCS can download a maximum of 1,040 events at once, it is recommended that a date range be entered
when downloading large event logs.
Figure 2-9. Buffer-Download Icon

2-6.1 Event Date Range Window
In the Event Data Range Window (Figure 2-10), select the desired start and end dates to download, or select the entire history
buffer by checking "Receive the Entire Event Log".
Note: Only the first 1,040 events will be downloaded at one time for multi-loop systems.
The Level-2 password will be required prior to receiving any event log information. The Event Log Window (Figure 2-11)
provides a record of events by time and date. Events are listed with the most recent events first.
May 2002 2-3 PCS Ver. 8.1

Figure 2-10. Event Date Range Window

2-10 SAVING A CONFIGURATION FILE

The PCS software supports all the normal Windows® file save features. The file can be saved by selecting the File Save
Icon (refer to Figure 1-3), selecting Save or Save As from the File menu. Each of the previously mentioned options will
open its respective window; these windows are standard across all Windows®-based applications.
2-11 COPYING A CONFIGURATION FILE

To copy a configuration file to another file, open the existing file from disk, or download it from a control unit, then select
the Save As function from the File menu. Specify the new file name and select the OK Icon (refer to Figure 1-3). The file
has now been copied and saved with the new file name. The file may now be edited as required for the new application.
2-12 CONFIGURATION VERIFICATION FUNCTION

The verification function is used to check the configuration file for errors in programming. To initiate the verification
operation, select the Verify Icon (Figure 2-16). If errors in programming exist at the conclusion of the verification function,
warnings are listed for review. Review each warning and take corrective action as needed.
Figure 2-16. Verify Icon

The warnings, shown in Figure 2-17, could be as simple as an Event Output Control (EOC) configuration error (e.g., an
output with no designated activating input). To correct this condition, map the appropriate input to the specified output(s).
May 2002 2-5 PCS Ver. 8.1

Figure 2-17. Verify Panel Results Window

Once all syntax errors have been reviewed and corrected the upload can be completed.
2-13 CONFIGURATION-COMPARE FUNCTION

initiate the Compare function, there must be two configurations open and tiled vertically or horizontally. Select the Com-
pare-Function Icon (Figure 2-18).
Figure 2-18. Compare-Function Icon

Configuration Compare can be of great benefit during a system service call where the original configuration (stored on
disk) is compared to one downloaded from the control unit (the actual system configuration). This comparison will tell
service personnel where the system configuration has changed since the original installation, thus tracking any system
changes which may have been done by other personnel. Figure 2-19 displays a typical compare function results window.
Figure 2-19. Compare Panel Results
2-14 CONFIGURATION EDITING

If a configuration file needs to be edited, open the file and select the configuration topic which needs editing using the drop down
topic menu. Once the topic information is displayed in the main window, double-click on any entry to open the window displaying
its properties. With this window open, revise any item as desired, then save.

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WITH PCS
3-1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides a step-by-step introduction to the fourteen configuration topics used when programming the
PEGAsys system. It also gives information on the configuration of the individual devices which are combined to form the
system.
3-1.1 Opening the Desired Workspace Window
Each of the fourteen topics defined in Paragraph 1-7 is directly accessible for configuration and editing from the PCS main
display. Just below the horizontal window displaying the name of the active configuration file is a pull-down menu box. To
access a list of all topics, click on the downward pointing arrowhead. Once the list appears, use the cursor keys or the
mouse and scroll bar to see all entries.
Figure 3-1. Accessing the Topic List
3-2 SUMMARY WORKSPACE WINDOW

The "Summary" topic allows the system installer to specify site name, site ID, standby message and author of a particular
configuration. The remaining entries are be made automatically by the PCS program. Figure 3-2 is an example of a blank
panel summary window. After configuration, the window can be accessed by first selecting the Summary topic, then "Edit"
in the main menu.
With the Panel Summary Window (Figure 3-2) open, enter information for the system being configured. The Site Name
should be the actual name of the installation, the Site ID could be the job number of the installation, the Standby Message
is the text message (39 characters) to be displayed during the "System Status Normal" message and the Author is the
individual creating the configuration file.
May 2002 3-1 PCS Ver. 8.1

Figure 3-2. Panel Summary Window
3-3 LOOPS WORKSPACE WINDOW (Multi-loop Option Only)

When the "Loops" topic is selected, the workspace window displays a list of information for each loop. The workspace
window displays one loop for a single-loop system and a list of eight loops for a multi-loop system (see Figure 3-3). All
loops are initially defaulted to Unused, Disabled".
Note: Each loop must be enabled before devices can be entered for the loop.
Figure 3-3. Loops Configuration Window
PCS Ver. 8.1 3-2 May 2002

3-4 ENABLING LOOPS

Enable a loop by first double-clicking on the desired loop entry. The Loop Details Window (Figure 3-4) will open and the
number of the selected loop will appear in the "Number:" box.
In the "Message:" box, enter a location that identifies the area protected by that loop, then check "Enable." "Enable" must
be checked for the loop to be entered into the system configuration.
Note that when editing an existing loop configuration, the information in the "Number:" box cannot always be changed.
Loop number can be permanently changed only to that of an non-enabled loop. If the user attempts to change the loop
number already in the Number box to that of a preexisting loop, the effort will fail. When the Loop Details Window closes,
an error message will appear stating that "Loop x Already Exists," indicating that the attempted change has not taken
effect.
Figure 3-4. Loop Details Window

3-4.1 Loop Devices Workspace Window
When the "Loop Devices" topic is selected, the window (Figure 3-5) displays a list of information for the selected topic
(e.g., device address, device type, etc.). If the current file has no loop devices specified, the workspace will be empty. As
devices are added to the loop, the workspace will display a line of descriptive information for each device.
Each line will contain device address, device type, device location message, device alarm/pre-alarm set-points, applica-
tion selection and optional operational functions (such as Alarm Verification, PAS, etc.).

May 2002 3-3 PCS Ver. 8.1

3-4.2 Adding Loop Devices Using the Menu

There are two ways to enter a loop device: via the main menu and by the drag-and-drop method.
To add a device via the menu structure, select the "Edit" menu entry, then select either "Add Item" or "Add Multiple", the
latter for a multiple device addition and configuration. The Select Loop Device Window (Figure 3-6) will appear.
Figure 3-6. Select Loop Device Window

Click on the downward pointing arrow to activate a pull-down menu of loop devices and select the desired type, then select
"OK" At this point, a configuration window will appear which is appropriate to the device selected. An example of such
configuration window is shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7. Loop Device Configuration Window

The user can shortcut the selection of the device type by holding the <Shift> key when selecting the Add or Add
Multiple commands. New devices will be added of the same type as the currently highlighted item.
An "Edit>Add Multiple menu command also is provided, allowing specification of device type and address range for the
devices.
PCS Ver. 8.1 3-4 May 2002

3-4.3 Adding Loop Devices Using Drag-and-Drop

An floating-tool window, shown in Figure 3-8, displays icons of the devices supported. To add a loop device, simply place
the mouse cursor over the desired device type icon, depress the left mouse button and drag the icon into the workspace.
This floating window can be changed via the "Tools Options" command. Holding the <Ctrl> key when dragging the icon in
the above manner allows for Multiple Addition.

Industrial Risk Insurers Functions in similar manner to the UL-type abort, with the only exception that the abort will only
(IRI)(Complies with UL 864) function if held prior to the receipt of the second alarm.
New York City Abort: Operation of the abort switch, once an alarm exists, changes the delay
timer to the selected delay plus an additional 90 seconds. The timer will not start as long as the
New York City abort switch is held. Release of the abort switch continues the countdown from the initial value
plus the 90 seconds additional delay. EOC programming will be required for proper
implementaion of this function. See Paragraph 6-3.1.
Once the delay timer has started, operation of the abort switch restores the timer to its original
Local Jurisdiction (NYC)
value. The delay timer will not start as long as the abort switch is held.

Where applicable, it will allow the user to set the mode of operation for the device to be non-latching (only available for

The Event Output Control syntax allows the building of the Event Output Control program. As listed in Table 3-3, each
program line is a combinational equation that combines input devices with output devices using a number of available
operators. EOC programming examples are given in Chapter 5 of this Manual.
Note: In accordance with NFPA 72-1999, programming the PEGAsys for actuation of two detectors (crossed-zoned) to
produce an alarm response is permitted only if:
a. It is not prohibited by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and
b. There are at least two detectors in the hazard, and
c. The alarm verification feature is not used for the devices which are crossed-zoned.

If the system zone is going to expand in phases, the installer/programmer may wish to leave the room to incorporate
additional EOC for future zones. To do this, insert the "$" operator to hold lines open for additional lines to be entered at a
later date. The "$" operator is also used at the beginning of comment lines.
3-9 MAIN PROCESSOR OUTPUT SETUP

When the "Main Processor Output Setup" topic is selected, the workspace will display the current setting for the two
programmable signal outputs on the CCM assembly (MP01 and MP02). Double-click on one of the lines and the main-
processor-output dialog window will open. Once the window is open, adjust any of the settings for MP01 and MP02.
Note: MP03 and MP04 do not need to be configured to operate, but will need to be placed properly in the output side of
the EOC program.
With the Main Processor Output One Window (Figure 3-30) open, adjust the output location message (39 Characters),
output type (i.e., Release or Signal) for MP01 only (solenoid 90 second, 10 Min, 15 Min, or ON Until Reset) or signal
pattern (60 BPM, 120 BPM, Temporal or Continuous). If signal is selected, the output can be configured for Drill and Walk
Test functions. The signal output can also be programmed as silenceable or non-silenceable operation. When com-
pleted, select <Enter> or OK and the module configuration is entered into the configuration file.
The MP01 output is capable of activating solenoid releasing devicesall Kidde solenoid control heads and FM Approved
sprinkler solenoids (Groups A, B, D, E and G). The output must be configured for release operation using the jumpers on
the main processor (JP2 and JP4 on, JP1 and JP3 "off"). Refer to the PEGAsys Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Manual, and the PCS configuration for the MP01 output must be release. If these two requirements are not met, the
control unit will have a Bad Configuration on MP01 trouble present after the upload of the configuration file. If this occurs,
verify the position of both the jumpers (JP1 through JP4) and the PCS configuration setting.

at the control unit. Applies to Signal Output Type only.
Note: If this box is not checked the signaling circuit will not activate during drill operation.
3-9.5 Walk Check Box
Walk provides a one-person walk test function which allows the service person to enable a group of output signaling
circuits. Selecting this box will enable the circuit during the activation of the walk-test function at the control unit. Applies to
Signal Output Type only.
Note: If this box is not checked, the signaling circuits will not be activated during the walk test.
3-9.6 Silence Check Box
Note: If this box is not selected, the signaling circuit will remain at its factory default of non-silencing. Applies to Signal
Output Type only.
With the Main Processor Output Two Window (Figure 3-31) open, adjust the output location message (39 Characters)
and signal type (60 BPM, 120 BPM, Temporal or Continuous). The output can be configured for "Drill" and "Walk Test"
functions. The signal output can also be programmed as silenceable or non-silenceable operation. When completed,
the operator would select <Enter> or OK and the module configuration would be entered into the configuration file.

3-10 DAY/NIGHT SETTINGS

If the Day/Night operating mode is selected for any of the loop devices, the Day/Night period must be set. The default
values for each period are 08:00 for the day start time, and 18:00 for night start.
With the Day/Night Settings Window (Figure 3-32) open, specify the day-mode start time and the night-mode start time.

3-11 FAIL-SOFT PROGRAMMING

The following example demonstrates the ability of the Fail-Soft programming to activate outputs when the system is in a
degraded operational mode. During normal operation the EOC program activates outputs based on the pre-programmed
relationship between inputs (Detectors, Pull Stations, etc.) and outputs (Signal Circuits, Release Outputs, etc.). During a
Fail-Safe operation, particular control unit modules may not be functioning normally, causing the pre-programmed EOC
not to function either. The Fail-Soft program provides the installer with the ability to activate outputs when an alarm
condition is present during Fail-Soft operation.
The EOC program provides the installer with a specifier for the zone alarm condition. The zone alarm is an alarm which is
received during Fail-Soft. A single-loop system is capable of having one zone alarm. Multi-loop systems can receive up to
eight zone alarms depending on the number of loops (RX/TX Modules) present on the system.
Note: The only outputs that can be activated in Fail-Soft operation are signal circuits and relay outputs. Release outputs
must not be programmed for Fail-Soft operation.
The following example EOC line would activate a signal output circuit upon receipt of a zone alarm.
01 ZA1=SG1:1
Additional lines would be required for Fail-Soft operation of multi-loop systems. Zone alarm specifiers for loops two
through eight would be entered in the same manner (i.e., ZA2, ZA3, ZA4, etc.).
Note: This feature must be programmed into the EOC section of the PCS as shown in the example above. Failure to
program this option will result in the feature not operating.
3-12 NETWORK SETTINGS

Below are the network options which will be configurable via PCS, followed by a brief explanation of each configuration
parameter.
Node Number: 0-32
Zone Number: 0-32
Time resynchronization period
Central station
Networking style: None, single channel (Style-4) or redundant channel (Style-7).
Processing of network RESET messages: Enabled/disabled
Processing of Network SILENCE Messages: Enabled/disabled
Logging all events: Enabled/disabled. This sequence will automatically enable the ACKNOWLEDGE function.
PCS Ver. 8.1 3-26 May 2002

The Network Setup Window (Figure 3-33) can be accessed by selecting Network Settings from the topics list, then
clicking on the network settings line which appears in the main window, then selecting "Edit>Edit Item" from the main
menu.
Figure 3-33. Network Setup Window

3-12.1 Assignment of Node Number (Default is Node 0)
Nodes may be assigned a number from 0 to 32. Number 0 (default) means that the node does not participate in any
network activity. Any assignment from 1 to 32 means that node actively participates in all preconfigured network activity.
3-12.2 Assignment of Group Number (Default is Group 0)
Nodes may be assigned to groups 0 through 32. A node assigned to group 0 receives and processes messages received
from all nodes only if configured to Log All Events. A node assigned to groups 1 through 32 will process only those
messages from the same group unless configured to Log All Events.
3-12.3 Set the Time Resync Period (In Minutes)
A time resynchronization message is broadcast on the network at periodic intervals as determined by the resync period.
If a node does not receive a time resynchronization message within this time, it asks for the time or will become the time
server. Allowable range is 0 to 32,000 minutes.
3-12.4 Central Station (Default is Off)
Check to enable. Central station operation requires that an output of a node designated for central station service is
always activated by alarms from any other control unit in the network. MP04, a volt-free relay on the CCM, defaults to this
configuration when central station is chosen. MP04 cannot be reconfigured via EOC. Furthermore, the control unit is
configured to log all events and cannot be changed.
3-12.5 Network Style (Default is Both Channels Disabled)
Check "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" to enable either or both channels. Both of the two independent channels can be
enabled (Style-7) or either one of the channels can be disabled (Style-4). These data channels are used to transmit
network information from one node to the next node or bi-directionally if nodes are connected on either side of the
transmitting node. In Style-7 configuration, data transfer is redundant so that if there is a failure on one channel or on its
transmission media, the other channel will maintain network communication.
May 2002 3-27 PCS Ver. 8.1

3-12.6 Enable or Disable Reset (Default is disabled)

Check "Network Reset Event" to enable. Enabling RESET on a node means that it can be reset from any other node in its
group. If its group is 0, it can be reset from any node on the network.
3-12.7 Enable or Disable Silence (Default is disabled)
Check "Network Silence Event" to enable. Enabling SILENCE on a node means that it can be silenced from any other
node in its group. If its group is 0, it can be silenced from any node on the network.
3-12.8 Enable or Disable Event Logging (Default is disabled)
Checking "Log Network Events" will result in all network events being logged in this node. This includes the receipt of
ACKNOWLEDGE from a button on a remote node. Disabling will result in only logging events in its own (non-zero) group.
3-13 ANNUNCIATOR TERMINAL MODULES (ATM)

The ATMs must be registered at the control unit to be utilized by the PEGAsys. Selecting the ATM topic and then double-
clicking on the appropriate ATM will open the ATM Configuration Window (Figure 3-34). Here registration and description
entries for each ATM can be entered. The ATM number is used for EOC programming, in addition to the output numbers
of the driver points used in the system.
Figure 3-34. ATM Configuration Window
3-14 REMOTE DISPLAY AND CONTROL MODULES (RDCM)

The Remote Display and Control Modules (RDCMs) must be registered at the control unit to be utilized by the PEGAsys.
Selecting this topic, and then selecting the appropriate RDCM from the list will open the RDCM Configuration Window
(Figure 3-35). Here registration and description entries can be entered for each RDCM. RDCM number 0 initially defaults
to master RDCM status; however, any RDCM can be programmed to be the master. The master RDCM always has
control, regardless of any other RDCM in use. The description field appears for the current RDCM in control when anyone
attempts to use another RDCM.

3-15 REMOTE DISPLAY MODULES (RDM)

The Remote Display Modules (RDMs) must be registered at the control unit to be utilized by the PEGAsys. Selecting this
topic, then selecting the appropriate RDM from the list, will open the RDM Configuration Window (Figure 3-36). Registra-
tion and description entries can be entered for each RDM.

CHAPTER 4
MENU FUNCTIONS
4-1 INTRODUCTION
The PCS program is a menu driven program that provides users with an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI). The
user should become familiar with each menu function. This chapter explains all of the menu functions of this program.
4-2 FILE MENU FUNCTIONS

4-2.1 New
The New command allows the user to create a new (initially empty) configuration file. If no workspace window is cur-
rently visible then the user is prompted for the workspace number (1 or 2) into which the new configuration is to be placed.
If a workspace window is visible then the current workspace (corresponding to the active workspace window) is used. The
user is then presented with the Summary Window (see Figure 4-1) in order to identify the new configuration.
4-2.2 Open
The Open command allows the user to load an existing configuration file (from Save or Save As command) back into
the active workspace. A standard Windows® File Open Window appears from which the user can select the file to load.
The user will be prompted to save any current configuration from the workspace to a file on disk.
4-2.3 Save
The Save command allows the user to save a configuration file to disk. If the configuration is created from new and no
associated file exists, the user is presented with a standard Windows® File Save Window into which a valid file name can
be entered.
4-2.4 Save As
The Save As command allows the user to save a configuration file to disk. The difference from the Save command is
that the user is always presented with a standard Windows® File Save Window into which a valid file name can be entered.
The operation can be used to save a configuration to a file with a different name than the current file (essentially a copy
command).
4-2.5 Close
The Close command allows the user to close the contents of the workspace. The user is prompted to save any changes
to a file on disk prior to the workspace becoming empty. The corresponding workspace window is automatically hidden
after this command.
4-2.6 Find
The Find command allows the user to search for a file on disk containing a specified site name or site ID. The user can
specify the directory to search in and whether to search sub-directories or not. The user could, for example, specify the
root as the search directory, and, by requesting search sub-directories as Yes, the whole hard disk is searched. Any
matching file names are displayed in a scrollable list from which one may be subsequently opened.
4-2.7 Print Setup
The Print Setup command allows the user to configure a printer to make hard copies of configuration files or Compare
and Verify reports. The default printer is the printer set by the PC's control panel.
4-2.8 Print
The Print command allows the user to produce a hard copy of the full configuration file, which can consist of the following
lists: Loop Devices, I/O Modules, EOC Program, RTC Program, Main Processor Outputs, Day/Night Settings, associated
remote displays and network settings. Also, each of the topics (Verify Result, Compare Result and Event Buffer) can be
printed one at a time by selecting the appropriate topic. Each topic can only be selected when the topic is an active window
indicated by the black typeface in the Panel Printout Window (see Figure 4-2).
May 2002 4-1 PCS Ver. 8.1

4-2.9 Exit
The Exit command closes the application as if <Alt+F4> or system menu Close were selected. Any unsaved changes
in either of the configuration workspaces are prompted to be saved to a file on disk prior to closing the application.
4-3 EDIT MENU FUNCTIONS

The Edit menu only appears when one or more of the configuration workspace windows are visible. The menu is hidden
when no workspace window is visible since the operations generally work in the context of the active configuration topic.
Chapter 3, PCS Operations, provides more detailed information on configuring each of the fourteen configuration topics.
Figure 4-1. Panel Summary Window
Figure 4-2. Panel Printout Window

4-3.1 Add
The Add command allows the user to add a new item to the active configuration topic. Depending on the configuration
topic that is active (e.g., Loop Devices, I/O Modules), the user is presented with a window into which they enter the item-
specific information (e.g., Device number and text). When OK is selected, the item is added to the active topic and is
displayed alongside any existing items.
4-3.2 Add Multiple
The Add Multiple command allows the user to add multiple items for the Device and I/O Module configuration topics.
The user enters the item-specific information that applies to all items (e.g., loop device type) and the number of items to
add with the starting address. When OK is selected, the new items are added to the active topic (with automatic unique
address assignments) and are displayed alongside any existing items. A separate toolbar button is not used for this
operation; rather, the user must click the Add toolbar button while holding either of the <Shift> keys.
PCS Ver. 8.1 4-2 May 2002

4-3.3 Edit
The Edit command allows the user to edit the currently highlighted configuration topic item (e.g., loop device). When
selected, an item-specific dialog box appears containing the existing item information. The user can change any item
attributes and click OK.
4-3.4 Delete
The Delete command allows the user to delete a single item or multiple items. The user is prompted before the deletion,
and if OK is clicked, the item(s) are removed from the topic list.
4-3.5 Renumber
The "Renumber" command allows the user to renumber the EOC and RTC Program lines. This feature allows the user to
renumber command lines when updating files.
4-3.6 Cut
The Cut command allows the user to transfer a single item or multiple items to the clipboard. This feature allows moving
of configuration items between configuration windows in conjunction with the Paste command. It should be noted that
Cut will delete the items from the list from which the items were selected.
4-3.7 Copy
The Copy command allows the user to transfer a single item or multiple items to the clipboard. This feature is imple-
mented purely for copying configuration items between configuration windows in conjunction with the Paste command.
Unlike the Cut command, Copy does not delete the items from the list from which the items were selected.
4-3.8 Paste
The Paste command allows the user to insert a single item or multiple items from the clipboard, and should have been
preceded by a Cut or Copy command. The application does not allow pasting from other applications and is imple-
mented for moving/copying configuration items between configuration windows.
4-4 VIEW MENU FUNCTIONS

The View Menu only appears when one or more of the configuration workspace windows are visible. The menu is hidden
when no workspace window is visible since the operations generally change the configuration topic of the active configu-
ration window.
4-4.1 Summary
The Summary command updates the active workspace window to display the system summary information window. The
system summary information lists pertinent system information. Figure 3-1 shows a typical summary information window.
4-4.2 Loops
The Loops command updates the active workspace window to display a list of up to eight loops (for multi-loop systems).
The loop information list allows the user to Enable or Disable up to eight loops. Refer to Paragraph 3-3 for more informa-
tion on loop control.
4-4.3 Loop Devices
The Loop Devices command updates the active workspace window to display the list of configured loop devices. The
menu item is checked and the workspace window combo-box is changed automatically. Refer to Paragraph 3-4 for more
information on configuring loop devices.
4-4.4 I/O Modules
The I/O Modules command updates the active workspace window to display the list of configured I/O modules. The
menu item is checked and the workspace window combo-box is changed automatically. Refer to Paragraph 3-6 for more
information on configuring I/O modules.
4-4.5 EOC Program
The Event Output Control Text command updates the active workspace window to display the Event-Output-Control
program in text format. The menu item is checked and the workspace window combo-box is changed automatically. See
Paragraph 3-8 for more information on configuring the EOC program.
May 2002 4-3 PCS Ver. 8.1

4-4.6 Real-Time Clock (RTC) Program

The "Real-Time Clock Text command updates the active workspace window to display the Real-Time Clock program in
text format. The menu item is checked and the workspace window combo-box is changed automatically. See Paragraph
3-7 for more information on configuring the Real-Time Clock program.
4-4.7 Main Processor Outputs
The Main Processor Outputs command updates the active workspace window to display the main-processor outputs
programming in text format. Main processor outputs MP1 and MP2 will be displayed, along with the current settings. See
Paragraph 3-9 for further details on programming the main-processor outputs.
4-4.8 Day/Night Settings
The Day/Night command updates the active workspace window to display the current Day/Night time settings. See
Paragraph 3-10 for further details on programming the Day/Night time periods.
4-4.9 Network Setting
The Network Setting command updates the active workspace window to display the current Network settings.
4-4.10 Network Nodes Map
The Network Nodes Map command updates the active workspace window to display the current Network Nodes Map.
4-4.11 ATMs
Lists and gives status of attached ATMs.
4-4.12 RDCMs
Lists and gives status of attached RDCMs.
4-4.13 RDMs
Lists and gives status of attached RDMs.
4-4.14 Icons
The "Icons" command will open the floating Icon Window for the currently selected topic.
4-4.15 Find File Results
The "Find File Results" command will open the Find File Results Window with the previous information displayed.
4-4.16 Verify Panel Results
The "Verify Panel Results" command will open the Verify Panel Results Window with the results of the last execution of the
Verify Command.
4-4.17 Compare Panel Results
The "Compare Panel Results" command will open the Compare Panel Results Window with the results of the last execu-
tion of the Compare Command.
4-5 TOOLS MENU FUNCTIONS

The Tools menu only appears when one or more of the configuration workspace windows is visible. The menu is hidden
when no workspace window is visible because the operations generally work with configuration workspaces.
4-5.1 Communications Setup
The Communications Setup command invokes a dialog box that allows the user to configure a serial port (port number,
baud rate, format and transmit time) for subsequent communications-based operations (i.e., Send/Receive Configura-
tion, On-Line>local).
4-5.2 Send Configuration
The Send Configuration command allows the user to upload a configuration (workspace) to a FCU connected to a PC's
serial port configured with the Communications Setup command. The user is presented with a dialog box prompting the
entry of the Level-2 password. After successful entry of the correct Level-2 password, the user is presented with a dialog
box containing a progress bar and status information that reports on the progress of the upload.
PCS Ver. 8.1 4-4 May 2002

4-5.3 Receive Configuration

The Receive Configuration command allows the user to download a configuration (workspace) from a FCU connected
to a PC's serial port configured with the Communications Setup command. The user is presented with a window prompt-
ing the entry of the Level-2 password. After successful entry of the correct Level-2 password, the user is presented with a
window containing a progress bar and status information that reports on the progress of the download. The current
workspace is overwritten with the configuration information received from the FCU, and the user is prompted to save any
changes to disk prior to proceeding.
4-5.4 On-Line Direct
The On-Line Direct command allows the user to configure a FCU connected to a PC's serial port configured with the
Communications Setup command. This feature essentially mimics the menu system of the FCU. This function allows
the PC to display status changes, gives it the ability to scroll through active events and permits entry into the system's
menus.
4-5.5 Events
4-5.5.1 RECEIVE EVENT LOG
The CCM maintains a history file of the last 1,024 events for single-loop systems and the last 6,100 events for multi-loop
systems. These events include all alarms, troubles and operator actions such as: Acknowledge, Silence, Reset and Drill.
All events are time and date stamped. The Receive Event Log command allows the user to select a desired start and
end date to download. The user can also select the Receive Entire Event Log selection, allowing the user to download
the complete buffer. This feature can only download 1,040 events at once.
4-5.5.2 CLEAR EVENT BUFFER
The Clear Event Buffer command allows a Level-2 password holder to clear the entire history buffer.
4-5.6 Compare and Verify
The Compare and Verify commands allow the user to systematically compare and verify the contents of both configura-
tion workspaces. It is likely that one workspace will hold a disk-based configuration file and the other workspace will hold
a downloaded FCU configuration. The user can enable/disable the various configuration topics to compare and verify; the
default will be for all topics to be compared. The output of this process is a report log that can subsequently be printed.
4-5.7 Options
The Options command will be supported in a future version of the PCS program.
4-6 WINDOW MENU FUNCTIONS

The Window menu is visible at all times and allows the user to change which workspace windows are displayed.
4-6.1 Overlap
The Overlap command is provided to force the displaying of a single workspace window only. If the command is selected
while both workspace windows are visible (see Tile Horizontally and Tile Vertically), the active workspace window changes
size to cover all of the main screen and the second workspace window is hidden.
Note: The Overlap toolbar button remains depressed and the corresponding menu item is checked.
4-6.2 Tile Horizontally
The Tile Horizontally command is provided to display both workspace windows, as shown in Figure 4-3. It is possible that
either (or both) of the windows may be empty, and is provided when the user wishes to compare configurations between
the two workspaces. If this command is selected when no workspace windows are visible, workspace one becomes the
active workspace and the menu changes to provide the user with the commands necessary for configuration.
Note: The Tile Horizontally toolbar button remains depressed and the corresponding menu item is checked.

4-6.3 Tile Vertically
The Tile Vertically command is provided to display both workspace windows, as shown in Figure 4-4. It is possible that
either (or both) of the windows may be empty, and is provided when the user wishes to compare configurations between
the two workspaces. If this command is selected when no workspace windows are visible, workspace one becomes the
active workspace and the menu changes to provide the user with the commands necessary for configuration.
Note: The Tile Vertically toolbar button remains depressed and the corresponding menu item is checked.

4-6.4 Show Panel #1
The Show Panel #1 command is provided to show the workspace #1 window. If the window is already visible (in either
overlap or tiled mode), then this command has no effect. If this command is selected when no workspace windows are

CHAPTER 5
EVENT OUTPUT CONTROL (EOC) PROGRAMMING
5-1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter demonstrates programming methods that are used to accomplish some common fire alarm/suppression
modes of system operation. The effectiveness of this chapter is greatly enhanced by first reading Chapter 3, PCS Opera-
tion. The user must have an understanding of the purpose and function of the system before attempting the examples in
this chapter.
Note: The examples in this chapter are intended for training purposes only.
5-1.1 Output Identification
The following example illustrates how to identify each output.
SG 1 : 1
Module Type Module Output Number
SG-Signal SG- 1-4
RY-Relay RY- 1-4
RS-Release Signal RS- 1-3
AR-Release Output AR- 1-8*
MP-CCM Output
Match Module Hardware settings (Dip Switches)

* There is one agent release output per module.
Figure 5-1. Output Identification Example

5-1.2 CCM Outputs Identification
The CCM contains four outputs. These outputs are identified differently than the module outputs described above. These
outputs are assigned MP1, MP2, MP3 and MP4.
5-1.3 Input Identification
Loop devices are identified by the combination of their one-digit loop and three-digit address numbers. For example,
address 15 on loop 2 would be "2015".
5-2 EOC OPERATION

Note: Review Chapter 3 before continuing with this section.
The EOC program has been designed to support the distributed intelligence architecture of the PEGAsys System. In the
distributed intelligence architecture, the decision making is done at the device (smoke or heat detectors and addressable
input devices). The EOC is an inherently "Real Time" program, meaning that outputs will be activated or deactivated in
relation to changes in the status (e.g., Alarm) of inputs.
The SmartOne devices are non-latching devices by design, meaning each detector decides when it is in alarm (active)
or normal (alarm off) state. To take advantage of the SmartOne non-latching technology the non-latching operation box for
each loop device must be selected.
May 2002 5-1 PCS Ver. 8.1

The control unit's default setting provides traditional "Latching" of inputs (detectors and AIs) to their associated outputs.
The EOC latched output will remain latched until the control unit is reset.
5-2.1 EOC Operation Example
The following are examples of latching and non latching:
Typical Default Operation Line - With the non-latching input box not selected for device 1008
001 1008=SG1:1,MP3
002 D(1008,30)=SG1:3,MP4,AR2
If detector 1008 deactivates anytime during the discharge time delay - SG1:1, SG1:3, MP3, MP4, AR2 will activate and will
remain latched (until system reset)
Typical "Non-Latching" Operation Line - With the non-latching input box selected for device 1008
001 1008=SG1:1,MP3
002 D(1008,30)=SG1:3,MP4,AR2
If detector 1008 deactivates at anytime during the discharge delay - SG1:3, MP4, and AR2 will not activate, however,
SG1:1 and MP3 will remain latched (until system reset).
Note: Each input device can be programmed to non-latching operation on a per-device basis.
5-3 TYPICAL EOC PROGRAM

To help the user better understand EOC programming, the following program example and related Figure 5-2 have been
placed at the beginning of this section. Figure 5-1 illustrates a typical hardware installation. Each component is labelled
with its device type and the selected address in bold typeface.
5-3.1 General Discussions
This discussion is based on the typical installation depicted in Figure 5-2. The system will utilize bells for first alarm signal,
horns for second alarm signal, horns, strobes and release on a 30-second delay. Power and HVAC shutdown will occur on
the second alarm. Manual release will cause immediate discharge with strobes and horn.
5-3.2 Sequence of Operation
Any smoke detector alarm-Ring bell
Second smoke detector alarm-Turn off bell, turn on horn, begin (30 second) timer, shutdown power, shutdown HVAC
When timer counts down-Discharge agent, Turn on strobes and horns
Note: If the input or inputs deactivate at anytime during the discharge delayRS1:2, 1010, 1011, AR1 and RS1:1 will
activate and remain latched (until the panel is reset) for the latching example below.
5-3.3 Program for Typical Installation (Default operation of latching)
1. (1001#1006)=RS1:3
Any smoke detector (1001 through 1006) alarm-Activates bell (RS1:3) using default settings.
2. (1001#1006)>1=NRS1:3,RS1:2,1010,1011, I001
Any two smoke detectors (1001 through 1006) alarm-Turn off bell (NRS1:3), turn on horn (RS1:2), shutdown power
(1010), shutdown HVAC (1011). I001 is an internal identifier that now takes on the identity of (1001#1006)>1.
3. D(I001,30,1008,1013)+1009+1012=AR1,RS1:2,RS1:1,1010,1011
Any two smoke detectors (1001 through 1006) alarm-Delay 30 seconds, release agent (AR1), turn on strobes and
horns. If abort is pressed (1008 or 1013), reset timer. Upon release of abort, continue countdown. 1009 and 1012
will cause immediate activation of outputs. I001 is an internal identifier that took on the identity of (1001#1006)>1.
5-3.4 Program for Typical Installation, Non-Latched
With the non-latching input box selected for each device of the above example, the following would result: If the devices
deactivate during the discharge countdown or while the abort is being held-AR1, RS1:2, RS1:1 will not activate, however,
RS1:2, 1010, and 1011 will remain latched until the control unit is reset.

5-4 EOC PROGRAM FOR A TWO-ROOM INSTALLATION

The following program example is a continuation of the previous example (Paragraph 5-3). This example has an addi-
tional room of devices that need to be added to the EOC program.
This discussion is based on the illustration depicted in Figure 5-3. The system will utilize notification appliances for the
general alarm signal and fire alarm pull stations for manual activation of the general alarm condition.
Any smoke detector alarmSound signal alarm
Note: For latching inputs: If the input or inputs deactivate at anytime during the discharge delayRS1:2, 1010, 1011,
AR1 and RS1:1 will activate and remain latched (until the panel is reset).
5-4.3 Program for Two-Room Installation
(Default operation of latching). Steps 1 through 3 are discussed in Paragraph 5-3. Step 4 has been added for the second
room configuration.

(1010), shutdown HVAC (1011). I001 is an internal identifier that took on the identity of (1001#1006)>1.
3. D(I001,30,1008,1013)+1009+1012=AR1,RS1:2,RS1:1, 1010, 1011
Any two smoke detectors (1001 through 1006) alarmDelay 30 seconds, release agent (AR1), turn on strobes and
horns. If abort is pressed (1008 or 1013), reset timer. Upon release of abort, continue countdown. 1009 and 1012 will
cause immediate activation of outputs. I001 is an internal identifier that took on the identity of (1001#1006)>1.
4. (1014#1021)=MP1
Any smoke detector or fire-alarm pull station activation (1014 through 1021)Activates CCM signal output (MP1).
5-4.4 Program for Two-Room Installation, Non-Latched
With the non-latching input box selected for each device of the above paragraph, the following would result: If the devices
deactivate during the discharge countdown or while the abort is being held-AR1 and RS1:1 will not activate, however,
RS1:2, 1010 and 1011 will remain latched until the control unit is reset.
5-5 EOC PROGRAM FOR MULTI-FLOOR BUILDING

The following program demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for a general alarm operation in a
multi-floor building.
This discussion is based on the multi-floor building depicted in Figure 5-4. The building has five floors, with each floor
utilizing ten smoke detectors, two notification appliances and two fire-alarm pull stations. The building requirement in this
example is to sound audibles on the floor in alarm and the floors above and below the floor in alarm.
Any smoke detector or manual pull station alarm on the first floorActivate notification appliances on first and second
floor.
Any smoke detector or manual pull station alarm on the second floorActivate notification appliances on first, second
and third floor.
Any smoke detector or manual pull station alarm on the third floorActivate notification appliances on second, third
and fourth floor.
Any smoke detector or manual pull station alarm on the fourth floorActivate notification appliances on third, fourth
and fifth floor.

5-5.3 Program for Multi-Floor Installation
! CAUTION (EXAMPLE ONLY)

This example demonstrates non-latching operation and is provided for informational purposes only. Each application is
unique; it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the EOC program used meets the required function
for each application.
Note: This non-latching operation assumes that each loop device within this program has its non-latching input box
selected. Once outputs become active in an alarm condition, they will remain latched until the control unit is reset.
For latching input devices, do not select the non-latching input box in the PCS program.
1. (1001#1010) + 1060 +1061 = I001
Any smoke detector alarm on the first floor (1001 thru 1010) or activation of either one of the two fire pull stations
(1060 or 1061) is equal to variable identifier 1 (I001).
2. (1011#1020) + 1062 + 1063 = I002
Any smoke detector alarm on the second floor (1011 thru 1020) or activation of either one of the two fire pull stations
on this floor (1062 or 1063) is equal to variable identifier 2 (I002).
3. (1021#1030) + 1064 + 1065 = I003
Any smoke detector alarm on the third floor (1021 thru 1030) or activation of either one of the two fire pull stations
4. (1031#1040) + 1066 + 1067 = I004
Any smoke detector alarm on the fourth floor (1031 thru 1040) or activation of either one of the two fire pull stations on
this floor (1066 or 1067) is equal to variable identifier 4 (I004).
5. (1041#1050) + 1068 + 1069 = I005
Any smoke detector alarm on the second floor (1041 thru 1050) or activation of either one of the two fire pull stations
6. I001 + I002 = MP1
Any first floor alarm (Detector or Pull Station)- (I001) or any second floor alarm (I002) activates notification appliance
circuit (MP1).
7. I001 + I002 + I003 = MP2
Any first floor alarm-(I001) or any second floor alarm (I002) or any third floor alarm (I003) activates notification appli-
ance circuit (MP2).
8. I002 + I003 + I004 = SG1:1
Any second floor alarm-(I002) or any third floor alarm (I003) or any fourth floor alarm (I004) activates notification
appliance circuit (SG1:1).
9. I003 + I004 + I005 = SG1:2
Any third floor alarm- (I003) or any fourth floor alarm (I004) or any fifth floor alarm (I005) activates notification appli-
ance circuit (SG1:2).
10. I004 + I005 = SG1:3
Any fourth floor alarm-(I004) or any fifth floor alarm (I005) activates notification appliance circuit (SG1:3).
This program layout would normally be used in conjunction with other lines of Event Output Control logic that would
accomplish door closure, elevator recall and other similar functions.

5-6 GENERAL ALARM

This example demonstrates non-latching operation and is provided for informational purposes only. Each
application is unique; it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the EOC program used meets
the required function for each application.
If you want latching input devices, do not select the non-latching input box in the program.
The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for a general alarm operation.
001 (1001#1060) = MP1, MP2
002 (1011#1050) + (1053#1060) = MP3
003 (1001#1010) + 1051 + 1052 = MP4
004 (1011#1020) + 1053 + 1054 = RY1:1
005 (1021#1030) + 1055 + 1056 = RY1:2
006 (1031#1040) + 1057 + 1058 = RY1:3
007 (1041#1050) + 1059 + 1060 = RY1:4
Where addresses:
1001 through 1050 are smoke detectors
1051 through 1060 are Addressable Inputs used as manual station(s) input
MP3 is for elevator recall relay
MP4 and RY1:11:4 relays are floor-by-floor door closing control
MP1 and MP2 are notification appliance circuit outputs
The programming example above is a general alarm application covering a five-floor building with 10 smoke detectors
and two manual pull stations per floor. Any alarm in the building will activate notification appliance circuits throughout the
building and activate the city-tie module (if one is installed). Additionally, door closures are activated on all floors except
the first floor. The above example is one solution to this application.
The city tie is not required to be programmed in the EOC for activation. The city-tie module will activate on any system
alarm when included in the system I/O module array.
5-7 BASIC CROSSED-ZONE RELEASE (INCLUDING TIME DELAY AND ABORT)

The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for a crossed-zone release func-
tion with time delay and abort functions.
001 (1001#1010) = RS1:1
002 (1001#1005) * (1006#1010) + 1021 + 1022 = NRS1:1, MP3, RS1:2
003 D((1001#1005) *(1006 # 1010), 30, 1023)+1021+1022 = AR1,MP4, RS1:3
Where addresses:
1001 through 1010 are smoke detectors
1001 through 1005 are zone 1 and 1006 through 1010 are zone 2
PCS Ver. 8.1 5-8 May 2002

1023 is an AI used for Abort

1021 and 1022 are AIs used for manual release
MP3, MP4 are auxiliary relays
RS1:1 - 1:3 are signal outputs on the release module
D is the delay specifier
30 is the time-delay period
AR1 is the agent-release output
In this basic crossed-zone example, there are 10 smoke detectors, two manual pull stations and one abort station in-
stalled in the a room protected by an FM-200 suppression system. This application also includes activating two control
relays, three signal circuits and a Kidde release output. The abort input must be programmed to abort in the appropriate
mode for the given location. Refer to Chapter 6 for AI abort programming.
This program layout would normally be in conjunction with other lines of Event Output Control logic that would accomplish
door closure, elevator recall and other similar functions.
5-8 ACTIVATION OF LOOP OUTPUTS

The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for activation of the internal relay of
a smoke detector.
5-8.1 Internal Relay of a Smoke Detector (Future Option)
001 1021 + 1032 = 1015
Where addresses:
1021 and 1032 are any loop input (detectors or AIs)
1015 is a smoke detector with an optional relay
In this example of smoke detector optional relay activation, the devices 1021 and 1032 would activate the relay in device
1015 when one of them is activated. Device 1015 must be a detector with an optional relay for this to work.
Be aware that only low-current devices can be switched through the contacts of the optional relay. Refer to the smoke
detector installation instructions for contact ratings and other technical data.
5-8.2 Loop Relay Outputs
The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for activation of addressable-relay
output devices.
001 1003 +1005 = 1011
Where Addresses:
1003 and 1005 are any loop input (detectors or AIs)
1011 is an addressable relay output device
In this example of addressable-relay activation, the devices 1003 or 1005 would activate the relay 1011 when one of them
is activated. Device 1011 must be an addressable-relay output device for this to work.
Be aware that only low current devices can be switched through the contacts of the addressable-relay device. Refer to the
addressable-relay device installation instructions (P/N 06-235577-001) for contact ratings and other technical data.
May 2002 5-9 PCS Ver. 8.1

5-9 TIME DELAY OF OUTPUTS

For latching input devices, do not select the non-latching input box in the program.
The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for time delayed activation of
outputs. Time delays can be programmed up to 300 seconds. According to UL, no delays can exceed 60 seconds.
001 (1001 #1050) = MP1, MP3
002 D((1001#1025) * (1026 # 1050), 45) = MP2, MP4
Where addresses:
1001 through 1050 are any loop input (detectors or AIs)
MP1 and MP2 are notification appliance circuits
D is the delay specifier
45 is the delay time period in seconds
MP3 and MP4 are auxiliary-relay outputs
In this example, 1001 through 1050 are input devices (smoke detectors or AIs). Any one of the devices activates notifica-
tion appliance circuit (MP1) and auxiliary relay (MP3). When one input in each group activates, a 45-second time delay is
commenced. At the conclusion of the 45-second time delay, notification appliance circuit output (MP2) and auxiliary relay
(MP4) are activated.
5-10 COUNTING ZONE

selected. Once outputs become active in an alarm condition they will remain latched until the control unit is reset.
The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for a counting-zone application.
001 (1001 # 1030) = MP1, MP3
002 (1001 # 1030)>1 = MP2, MP4
Where addresses:
1001 through 1030 are any loop input (detectors or AIs)
MP1 and MP2 are notification appliance output circuits
MP3 and MP4 are auxiliary-relay outputs
1 is the threshold of count
In this example, 1001 through 1030 are input devices (smoke detector or AIs). Any one of the devices activates notification
appliance circuit (MP1) and auxiliary relay (MP3). When two or more inputs are activated in this range, notification appli-
ance circuit (MP2) and auxiliary relay (MP4) are activated.
For counting-zone program lines, parentheses ( ), right arrow (>) and the through (#) operators must be used as shown in
the above example (line 2).
PCS Ver. 8.1 5-10 May 2002

Be aware that only low-current devices can be switched through the contacts of the auxiliary relays. Refer to the installa-
tion instructions of the corresponding module for contact ratings and other technical data.
5-11 FAIL-SOFT PROGRAMMING

The following example demonstrates the ability of the Fail-Soft programming to activate outputs when the system is in a
degraded operational mode. During normal operation the EOC program activates outputs based on the pre-programmed
relationship between inputs (Detectors, Pull Stations, etc.) and outputs (Notification Appliance Circuits, Release Outputs,
etc.). During a Fail-Safe operation, particular control unit modules may not be functioning normally, therefore causing the
pre-programmed EOC not to function. The Fail-Soft program provides the installer with the ability to activate outputs when
an alarm condition is present during Fail-Soft operation.
The EOC program provides the installer with a specifier for the zone alarm condition. The zone alarm is an alarm that is
received during Fail-Soft. A single-loop system is capable of having one zone alarm. Multi-loop systems can receive up to
eight zone alarms depending on the number of loops (RX/TX Modules) present in the system.
Note: The only outputs that can be activated in Fail-Soft operation are notification appliance circuits and relay outputs.
Release outputs must not be programmed for Fail-Soft operation.
The following EOC line would activate a notification appliance circuit upon receipt of a zone alarm.
001 ZA1=SG1:1
Additional lines would be required for Fail-Soft operation of multi-loop systems. Zone alarm specifiers for loops 2-8 would
be entered in the same manner (i.e., ZA2, ZA3, ZA4, etc.).
Note: This feature must be programmed into the EOC section of the PCS as shown in the example above. Failure to
program this option will result in the feature not operating.
5-12 TROUBLE RESPONSE PROGRAMMING

The example below demonstrates trouble response operation within the EOC and is provided for informational purposes
only. Each application is unique, and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the EOC program used meets the
required function for each application.
The following example demonstrates a method of programming the PEGAsys System for trouble indications:
001 T(1008) = MP3, MP4,1003
Where addresses:
1008 is a loop device
MP2 and MP4 are programmable relays on the CCM
1003 is an addressable relay on loop 1
In this example, a trouble on device 1008, such as an output short or drift error, will activate relays MP3, MP4 and 1003.
Note: This operator is NOT meant to support addressable inputs programmed as trouble type. This operator is used to
indicate loop-device troubles.
5-13 PEGASYS ADDRESSABLE LOOP MODULE (PALM) PROGRAMMING

The example below demonstrates programming for PEGAsys Addressable Loop Module (PALM) inputs in the EOC, and
is provided for informational purposes only. Each application is unique, and it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the EOC program meets the required function for each application.
The following example shows a method of programming the PEGAsys system for specific inputs from a PALM:
001 P(1010#1020) = MP1, MP3
002 1010*(1011#1020) = SG1:1, RY1:1
Where addresses:
1010 is the Addressable Loop Module address
1011 through 1020 are SmartOne smoke detectors
May 2002 5-11 PCS Ver. 8.1

MP1 and SG1:1 are notification appliance circuits

MP3, MP4 and RY1:1 are relay outputs
In this example, if a pre-alarm registers on devices 1010 through 1020, then MP1 and MP3 will activate. If 1010 and one
of the detectors (1011 through 1020) alarm, then SG1:1 and RY1:1 will activate.
5-14 AAM PROGRAMMING

The example below demonstrates programming for inputs from the Addressable AlarmLine Module (AAM) in the EOC
program, and is provided for informational purposes only. Each application is unique, and it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that the EOC program meets the required function for each application.
001 P(1001#1006) = 1007,1008,RY1:1
002 1001*(1002#1006) = MP1,RY1:2
Where addresses:
1001 is the Addressable AlarmLine Module (AAM)
1002 through 1006 are SmartOne smoke detectors
1007 is an addressable relay output
1008 is an Addressable Signal Module (ASM)
RY1:1 and RY1:2 are relay outputs on relay card 1
MP1 is a notification appliance circuit on the CCM
In this example, if a pre-alarm registers on devices 1001 through 1006, then 1007, 1008 and RY1:1 will activate. If 1001
and one of the detectors (1002 through 1006) alarm, then MP1 and RY1:2 will activate.
5-15 NETWORK PROGRAMMING

Refer to the PEGAsys Fire Alarm/Suppression Control System Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual, Appen-
dix J, Table J-1, for methods of sharing Acknowledge, Silence and Reset functions among network control units
(nodes).
EOC statements that are used with networking will allow a control units outputs to be activated by input(s) activating at
another control unit.
Note: The receiving (output) control unit will be programmed using the sending control unit's network designation (or
NODE) per the following examples. In EOC, the control units (nodes) are node-designated 01, 02, 03, etc., up to
a total of 32.
Example One:
Consider three buildings, each with a PEGAsys. Third-floor inputs to control units in buildings two and three will activate a
signal in the security office in building one. All control units will be part of the same GROUP (see the PEGAsys Owners
Manual, Appendix J, for a description of groupings).
Building ones control unit is programmed as NODE number 01 (see the Network Setup Dialog Box), Building two as
NODE number 02 and Building three as NODE number 03.
The third-floor inputs on RX/TX 03 in buildings two and three (NODES 02 and 03) will be smoke detectors 3001 through
3010 and manual pull stations 3020 and 3025 for each building. The notification appliance circuit in building one, NODE
number 01, is SG1:1. The EOC statement in NODE number 01, with the added field to define networking, is:
001 F2:3001#3010+F2:3020+F2:3025+F3:3001#3010+F3:3020+F3:3025= SG1:1
In this example, NODE numbers 02 an 03 would see each others inputs since they are in the same GROUP. However,
there would be no activations because no output is programmed.
The F1 designation is not required in the statement output as the statement is entered into this control unit, NODE number
01, the receiving control unit.
If network control units were in a different GROUP, the above statement would be valid if the "Log Network Events" box
were checked in the Network Setup dialog box of NODE number 01.
PCS Ver. 8.1 5-12 May 2002

A control unit with the "Central Station" box checked will receive events from all control units.
Example Two:
Consider a three-building installation. Buildings two and three have four PEGAsys control units and building one has one
PEGAsys. Building twos control units (NODEs number 01, 02, 03 and 04) are in GROUP 01. Building threes control units,
(NODES number 05, 06, 07 and 08) are in GROUP 02 (GROUP is selected in the Network Setup Window).
Building one, panel NODE number 09, is checked Log Network Events in its window, and can have the required outputs
(notification appliance circuit, relay, etc.) programmed into its EOC. Statement 001, as above, can be valid for this application.
Buildings two and three can be programmed to activate control unit-to-control unit within each building. However, they
would not see each other between buildings since they are in separate GROUPS.
For example, in building two, manual pull station 1030 on NODE 03, or SmartOne thermal detector 1073 on NODE
number 02, can activate relay RY1:1 on NODE number 01all within building two and within the same GROUP. The EOC
statement would be:
002 F3:1030+F2:1073=RY1:1
This statement would be entered into building two's control unit NODE number 01.
In this instance, building three (NODEs number 05, 06, 07 and 08) would not see these events as they are from a
separate GROUP.
Building one control unit (NODE number 09) would be checked to Log Network Events and would see and can be
activated by inputs from all NODE numbers 01 through 08. NODE number 09 outputs would be programmed into the EOC
of NODE 09 by designating inputs from NODE numbers 01 through 08 as required.
In the above example, the same functionality can be realized by checking the Central Station box if this listing is required.
5-16 ATM PROGRAMMING

The Annunciator Terminal Module (ATM) has many outputs, depending on the module, that can be activated by the
system inputs. The following example shows how output #8 on ATM #10 is activated by device 1001.
001 1001 = AM10:8
ATM outputs will be identified by the numerics in the output. The prefix "AM" will be used for both modules. Maximum
modules is 16, maximum output points per ATM is 32. Therefore output(s) designations can range from AM1:1 to AM16:32.

CHAPTER 6
RELEASE APPLICATIONS
6-1 INTRODUCTION
The PEGAsys System can be used for Agent Release and/or Pre-action/Deluge Sprinkler control applications. When
used with UL Listed, compatible actuating and initiating devices, the PEGAsys System meets the requirements of the
following standards:
NFPA 12. CO2 Extinguishing Systems (High Pressure)
NFPA 12A. HALON 1301 Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 13. Sprinkler Systems
NFPA 15. Water-Spray Systems
NFPA 16. Foam-Water Deluge and Foam-Water Spray Systems
NFPA 17. Dry-Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 17A. Wet-Chemical Extinguishing Systems
NFPA 2001. Clean-Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems
6-2 PROGRAMMING
The PEGAsys System can support up to nine releasing outputs (AR1-AR8 and MP1) to control releasing functions. AR1-AR8
are the agent release I/O modules that are inserted into the I/O motherboard and MP1 is the main processor signal output that
is optionally programmable to be an agent release output. The PCS program is used to configure the system to application
requirements, including the releasing functions.
6-3 ABORT
The abort function allows a pending release to be stopped manually by activation of an abort switch. The PEGAsys and
PCS program supports four styles of abort as described in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1. Abort Styles
Abort Type Description
Underwriters Laboratories Basic UL Abort: Delay timer continues to count down upon abort activation, and stops at the 10-
(Complies with UL 864) second mark. Upon release of abort switch, timer resumes the countdown from 10 seconds.
Industrial Risk Insurers Functions in similar manner to the UL-type abort, with the only exception that the abort will only
(IRI)(Complies with UL 864) function if held prior to the receipt of the second alarm.
New York City Abort: Operation of the abort switch, once an alarm exists, changes the delay
timer to the selected delay, plus an additional 90 seconds. The timer will not start as long as the
New York City abort switch is held. Release of the abort switch continues the countdown from the initial value,
plus the 90 seconds additional delay. EOC programming will be required for proper
implementaion of this function. See Paragraph 6-3.1.
Once the delay timer has started, operation of the abort switch restores the timer to its original
Local Jurisdiction (NYC)
value. The delay timer will not start as long as the abort switch is held.
Note: The abort function will not work if a time delay value is not entered in the EOC programming for the hazard.
Maximum listed time delay is 60 seconds per UL864.
May 2002 6-1 PCS Ver. 8.1

6-3.1 New York City Abort Sequence

The following EOC program example demonstrates a typical method of supporting the unique N.Y.C. suppression system
abort sequence. Use of this program negates the need for any external equipment to control the notification appliances.
6-3.1.1 GENERAL DISCUSSION
This discussion is based on a typical single suppression hazard area, as illustrated in Figure 6-1. The hazard contains: six
smoke detectors, two manual release stations, two abort stations, one power shutdown and one HVAC shutdown.
6-3.1.2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Any one detector - Activate the bell signal output.
Second smoke detector alarm - Turn off bell, turn on horn (pulsing), turn on strobe (steady), begin (30 second) dis-
charge delay, shut down power, shut down HVAC.
When timer counts down - Discharge agent, Turn on strobes (steady) and horn/strobe (steady).
Abort Active - Turn off horn, turn off strobe, turn on bell and add 90 seconds to initial time delay.
6-3.1.3 EXAMPLE, SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The configuration of the system depicted in Figure 6-1 contains the following hardware with assigned addresses.
Six Smoke Detectors (1001 through 1006)
One Abort Station (1007)
One Manual Release Station (1008)
One Bell circuit (RS2:1)
One Horn Circuit (RS2:2)
Two Strobes on one circuit (RS2:3)
Two Suppression Release Devices on one circuit (AR2)
6-3.1.4 PROGRAM FOR N.Y.C. ABORT SEQUENCE
Substitute the device addresses (in bold type) for the device addresses in your system configuration.
Note: When using N.Y.C. Abort, all devices must be set to the default of latching. Non-Latching must not be used or
improper operation of this feature will result.
a. (1001#1006)*NC2*NC3=RS2:1
1) NC2=THE ABORT WAS PRESSED AND THEN RELEASED AND EITHER C3 OR C4 OR C5 IS ACTIVE.
2) NC3=THE ABORT IS PRESSED AND EITHER C3 OR C4 OR C5 IS ACTIVE.
3) RS2:1=THE RELEASE SIGNAL THAT IS ACTIVATED IF ALL OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE MET.
b. NC4*N1007*((1001#1006)>1)=C3,RS2:3,NRS2:1,RS2:2,1009,1010,NC5,NC6
1) SAME AS THE PREVIOUS LATCH EXCEPT MORE THAN ONE DEVICE MUST BE IN ALARM.
2) C3=THE CONDITION SET WITH THIS LATCH.
3) RS2:2 AND RS2:3 ARE SIGNALS ACTIVATED WITH THIS CONDITION.
4) NRS2:1=SHUTOFF OF RS2:1 THAT WAS ENABLED WITH ONE ALARM ACTIVATED.
5) 1009 AND 1010 ARE ADDRESSABLE SHUTDOWNS.
6) NC5=SHUT OFF CONDITION C5 SINCE STARTED SECOND ALARM
7) NC6=SHUT OFF CONDITION C6 SINCE STARTED SECOND ALARM
c. 1007*(C3+C4+C5)=C2,NC3,NC4,NC5,NC6,NRS2:2,NRS2:3
1) 1007=ABORT ACTIVATED
2) C3=TWO OR MORE ALARMS ARE ACTIVATED.
3) C4=THE ABORT WAS RELEASED AND C2 IS STILL ACTIVE.
4) C5=SAME AS C4.
5) C2=THE ABORT IS ENABLED AND ONE OF THE CONDITIONS IS MET.
6) NC3, NC4 AND NC5 DISABLE THE CONDITIONS C3 AND C4 AND C5 ONCE C2 BECOMES
ACTIVE.
7) NRS2:2,NRS2:3=SHUT OFF HORN AND STROBE
PCS Ver. 8.1 6-2 May 2002

d. C2=NC2,C4,C5,C6
1) C2=THE PREVIOUS CONDITION.
2) NC2=SHUTS OFF THE CONDITION C2 AND SETS THE CONDITIONS C4, C5, AND C6.
e. D(C3,30,1007)=AR2,RS2:2/C
1) D=THE DELAY OPERATOR.
2) C3=THE CONDITION MET IF AT LEAST TWO ALARMS REPORT.
3) 30=THE AMOUNT OF SECONDS TO DELAY.
4) 1007=THE ABORT TO STOP THE DISCHARGE OF THE AGENT AR2.
5) AR2=THE RELEASE CIRCUIT.
6) /C=SETS RS2:2 AS A CONTINUOUS SIGNAL AND OVERRIDES CURRENT PATTERN.
f. D(C4,90,1007)+1008=RS2:2,NRS2:1,RS2:3,NC4
1) D=DELAY
2) C4=CONDITION 4 (THE ABORT WAS RELEASED AND CONDITION 2 STILL APPLIES)
3) 1008=MANUAL RELEASE.
4) TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF SIGNALS IS THE SAME AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED.
Note: The time delay of 90 seconds was added to count down simultaneously with the time delay in Step g. Since the
system turns the notification outputs back to first alarm bells, this will turn the second alarm back on once the 90
seconds expire. This will imply that the system has 30 seconds before discharge.
5) NC4=SHUTS OFF THE C4 CONDITION
g. D(C5,120,1007)+1008=AR2,RS2:2/C,RS2:3,1009,1010
1) THIS DELAY IS THE SAME AS THE OTHER EXCEPT CONDITION 5 IS MET.
Note: The 120 second time delay in Step g was achieved by taking the original value of the time delay (in this case, 30
seconds), and adding 90 seconds to it. For an original time delay of 60 seconds, the value in Step g for time delay
duration would be 150 seconds.
h. C6=RS2:1
1) IF THE ABORT IS PRESSED AND HELD, THEN CONDITIONS C6 WILL APPLY. THIS WILL TURN ON
RS2:1.
WHEN THE ABORT IS RELEASED (STEP D) AND CONDITION 4 AND 5 COME INTO EFFECT THE ONLY
WAY TO STOP THESE CONDITIONS IS TO PRESS THE ABORT AGAIN. THIS WILL SET CONDITION 2
(STEP C) AGAIN AND SET THE NOT CONDITIONS FOR CONDITIONS 4 AND 5.
THE ABORT, 1007, IN DELAY LINE E AUTOMATICALLY CANCELS THE RELEASE OF AR2 AND SETS
THE CONDITION TO C2 AND C6. THIS CANCELS THE CONDITION C3.
THE REASON FOR SETTING THE NOT CONDITIONS IN THIS CODE IS THAT THIS PROGRAM EX-
ECUTES EACH TIME AN EVENT OCCURS AND, IF THE NOT CODES ARE NOT THERE ,THE CONDI-
TIONS COULD NOT BE CHANGED DURING A SUBSEQUENT RE-EXECUTION.
6-4 DELAY
The time-delay period is an installer programmable value that begins to countdown after alarm activation of an initiating
device(s) that is monitoring the area and is mapped to the agent-release output. The time delay can be programmed for
activation after one or more alarm occurrences. The delay operator (D) is used in the EOC programming line to specify the
delay-time period.
6-5 SOAK
The soak function is used to automatically shut off a releasing solenoid at a predetermined time after the mapped inputs
activate it. It may be programmed as a 10 minute or 15 minute soak period. This soak function is for use in NFPA 16
applications only.

6-6 SPECIAL MODULE TYPES

PEGAsys provides specific styles of devices which have special releasing functions. These devices are:
6-6.1 Abort Switch
The Abort Switch is an Addressable Contact Monitor Module (P/N 70-407008-001) that is programmed as an abort input
with a certain abort style. The abort styles available as explained earlier in this section are UL, IRI, NYC and Local
Jurisdiction. Refer to Table 6-1 for an explanation of each abort style. The Addressable contact monitor would be con-
nected to a listed abort station such as the Kidde Suppression System Abort Switch (P/N 30-193000-001 or -002). Figure
6-2 shows the interconnection of the addressable contact monitor module and the abort station switch.
Figure 6-2. Interconnection, Addressable Contact Monitor and Abort Station

6-6.2 Manual Release Switch
The Manual Release Switch is an Addressable Contact Monitor Module (P/N 70-407008-001) that is programmed as a
manual release input. The Addressable contact monitor would be connected to a listed Manual Release station such as
the Kidde Suppression Agent Release Switch (P/N 84-100007-001). Figure 6-3 shows the interconnection of the addres-
sable contact monitor and the Manual Release switch.
Figure 6-3. Interconnection, Addressable Contact Monitor and Release Station
May 2002 6-5 PCS Ver. 8.1

The Agent Release modules that the PEGAsys System uses to provide the release function offer one release output and
three individual circuits for 24 Vdc notification appliances. Refer to Paragraph 3-5.2 for details on configuration of the
release outputs.
6-6.3 Pre-Action Sprinkler Application
The PEGAsys System can supervise and activate pre-action sprinkler, or deluge sprinkler system for protection of facili-
ties. The CCM MP1 can be programmed for this as well as agent release modules (AR1-AR8).
For pre-action application, the addressable input module would be used to monitor any of the following sprinkler type of
inputs required by the specific application: air pressure, water flow, pump running, water level (tank), etc. Refer to Table 3-
1 for a description of each allowable input.
