Device type
Determines the type of device logged onto the panel for the specified loop address. Using VIPER this can be
altered when changing the device type on the loop.

Text message
Device text, a 24-character text message, used to describe a precise location for the device within the
allocated zone number. Note: Zone & Device text messages together describe the location of the event within
the installation or building.
allocated zone number. Note: Zone & Device text messages together describe the location of the event within
the installation or building.
Zone number
Assigns the input type devices to the appropriate zone number, in the range 1 to 120. The Vega LT has 16
LED indications on the panel fascia. Each zone may contain one or more devices. Devices default to zone 000.

Normal sensitivity
During Status Normal the individual detector’s (smoke or heat) alarm sensitivity levels can be altered for pre-
alarm and alarm conditions. The options for selection depend upon type of device installed.
Apollo XP95 options are
alarm and alarm conditions. The options for selection depend upon type of device installed.
Apollo XP95 options are
!
Standard - Pre-alarm level = 45 & Alarm level = 55
!
Low - Pre-alarm level = 55 & Alarm level = 65

High - Pre-alarm level = 35 & Alarm level = 45
Apollo Discovery has 5 mode settings. Refer detector user guides.
Hochiki ESP Smoke detectors are automatically compensated by the control panel and are calibrated daily.

Note: the panel will not allow the pre-alarm sensitivity to be higher than the fire alarm
Group number
Assign output type devices or modules to the appropriate output group number. Range 1 to 500. Note: Output
Groups 501 to 512 are reserved for special functions and should not be used for general cause \ effect
programming. Each output group may contain one or more devices or modules. Devices default to group 000.
Groups 501 to 512 are reserved for special functions and should not be used for general cause \ effect
programming. Each output group may contain one or more devices or modules. Devices default to group 000.
Priority level
Determines the alarm condition priority level. Fire detection, smoke, BGU & heat devices should remain
unaltered at default setting 1 unless specific installation requirements are necessary. Input modules can be
assigned to lower priority levels for signalling plant indication etc as required.

assigned to lower priority levels for signalling plant indication etc as required.
Latching alarm
Determines whether the alarm condition (fire) is latched or not. Latching alarms require the user to silence and
reset the system after an alarm condition has occurred. Non-latching alarms apply to input modules and BGU
type devices and will automatically return to status normal after the alarm device returns to normal condition.

Program by
Program by Zone or Device option. The preferred and simplest method of programming the control panel is by
zone to output group programming. Where special cause / effect strategies are required, single device to
output programming can be achieved by setting this option. The device remains linked to the associated zone
number as geographical within the building this is where it is located and will operate the panel displays
accordingly, however, within the panel programming it is treated by exception and will operate its own output
groups. The device programming option can only be set using VIPER.

Custom text
Default text describing the individual detector or interface type can be altered to 1 of 50 pre-programmed (12
character max) custom text messages. Custom type messages are entered from the custom features menu.
Example, default text – ‘Input dev’ can be changed to read ‘Shop Unit’

Flash LED
Set to ‘No’ to turn off flashing base LED indication on Apollo Discovery and Hochiki multi-sensor detectors only.
BGU flag
Set to ‘Yes’ to turn on the priority interrupt flag setting (Apollo only) on certain interface modules. Default
setting for Break Glass Units. The option can only be configured at the control panel.
