VeriFire

GENERAL
VeriFire is an off-line programming and test utility that can greatly reduce installation programming time, and increase confidence in the site-specific software. It is Windows based and provides technologically advanced capabilities to aid the installer. The installer may create the entire program for the control panel in the comfort of the office, test it, store a backup file, then bring it to the site and download from a laptop into the panel. The program includes error checks for common programming mistakes, such as an input point that does not activate any outputs, or an output point that is not linked to any inputs. It also includes a simulation routine that will list all of the output points that are activated by a particular input point (alternatively, it will list all the input points that are linked to a particular output). Although this does not eliminate on-site testing, it greatly increases confidence in the final installation. For example, a 200-input and 100-output point system, without using VeriFire, could require 20,000 test observations to verify all possible I/O links. VeriFire includes a compare routine, pictured at right, that can also greatly help the installer. When a new program is created, it may be compared with a previous version and differences are highlighted. If the program is modified from the panel keypad, it may be uploaded into VeriFire, and compared with the previous version stored on disk. The identification of program differences greatly helps the installer in testing the installation. NFPA 72 requires that reacceptance test of a fire alarm system be performed on 100% of all points that are known to be modified. VeriFire allows the installer to determine the exact points that are changed.
