DF6000 - USER MANUAL
20
System Overview
Simple User Interface
The main element of the user interface with DF6000 is a large (120mm x 90mm visible area) touch screen
display, which provides comprehensive user information and also acts as a multifunctional keypad.
Comprehensive context sensitive help information is provided throughout the menus to assist unfamiliar
users with system operation.
The DF6000 touch screen display automatically reconfigures to suit the selected function, for example, if
the change device text menu option is selected, the touch screen is automatically formatted as a full
QWERTY keyboard to enable fast and simple text entry.
The use of the touch screen display enables a wide range of user and engineering facilities to be
incorporated into the panel whilst still offering simple operation.
As well as a large format LCD display providing full system status information, the panel incorporates 96
traditional zone indication LED's to provide clear information about the status and spread of a fire even to
a user who is completely unfamiliar with the operation of the system.
In addition there are a number of system status LED's designed to give clear status information to non
technical users.
User Configuration And Maintenance Facilities
DF6000 has comprehensive facilities for on site system configuration, whereby the user can add or
remove simple devices or change device text directly via the panel, without the need for a service
engineer to visit site. For initial configuration or major system changes special PC configuration software
is available enabling Cooper Lighting and Safety personnel to do this more efficiently than can be
achieved using the system screen. Exiting configurations can be uploaded to the PC so that changes can
be made to the existing system rather than having to revert to initial files.
Sophisticated Sounder Control Facilities
DF6000 has the ability to support highly complex ringing pattern requirements. Multistage cause and
effect programming is possible whereby each addressable sounder or output interface can be
programmed independently if required and can be set to respond to specific addresses, specific
detection zones, specific panels on a networked system or standard global ringing.
The panel supports 3 separate sets of programming per sounder and each stage can be triggered
differently For example, if a single detector is triggered the panel can be programmed such that the
sounder nearest to the detector operates immediately and continuously, the remaining sounders in the
affected zone operate in pulsed mode and the other sounders delay for a selectable period to allow the
cause of the alarm to be investigated before global ringing commences.
