ELESS PRODUCT GUIDE
6.0 Menu Structure
6.1 Overview
Fireless can be set-up and put into use with the help of an integral panel-mounted LCD control interface,
USB PC link, or a combination of both.
Irrespective of the method chosen, the graphical user interface is identical and all menus have been
designed to be intuitive. As with most life safety system conventions, menus are split between USER and
ENGINEER; the latter being password controlled in order to prevent unauthorised access and tampering.
Although a full display and control interface is always a useful feature to have, there may be occasions
when it is not needed other than by the visiting engineer; therefore, at order stage, the Fireless
transponder is available with or without a permanent, front- mounted control and indication fascia. Where
a blind front- plate is preferred, it is also possible to order a separate transponder control fascia, which can
then be carried by the engineer in order to interrogate and control a Fireless transponder during service
and commissioning visits. The control and LCD display interface is connected to the motherboard by a
polarised ribbon cable, which has strain relief and can be hot-swapped i.e. there is no need to power the
system down and back up again to make or remove the connection.
In addition, there is also a Fireless ‘USB PC link’ kit available, which consists of a plug-in, electrically isolated
micro USB interface PCB, together with connecting lead and software. This module can also be hot-
swapped onto the motherboard and will enable the same level of display and control to be performed. A PC
link also makes it possible to copy and paste the contents of the historic log and physical device lists into an
excel file for record keeping purposes.
