Definitions:
Logical Address This is the unique address of the field device being displayed, which was chosen during the
‘Add new device’ procedure. Use the < and > control to scroll between installed devices. Only existing/fitted
devices will be displayed.
XXX Sec Ago This is the time, in seconds, since the last valid auto-report message was received from the
field device. Devices will normally report back at 150 second intervals.
1st Battery The voltage of the primary battery pack in mV (millivolts).
2nd Battery The voltage of the secondary battery pack in mV (millivolts).
Note: Primary and Secondary battery packs are individually monitored and have the following additional
attributes:
‘<’ The battery pack currently in service
‘L’ low battery (30 days warning)
‘X’ Battery has 7 days or less capacity
Alarm ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ The alarm status of the selected device
Fault ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ The fault status of the selected device
PHY This is the physical, numeric address of the device. It is a unique value, cannot be changed, and is a
useful way to positively confirm the identity of a field device, which also has a corresponding bar coded and
numeric label on the device PCB itself.
Type This field confirms the type of device currently being displayed:
OPT Optical smoke detector
HTR Rate of rise heat detector
HTH High temperature heat detector
MCP Manual call point
SNR Sounder
I/O Input/Output unit
RSSI This is short for ‘Received Signal Strength Indication’ and is the field strength received by the
transponder from the field device, with levels shown in dBm. A corresponding six segment bar chart is also
updated beneath, with the following calibrations:
6 Bars visible -47dBm <= RSSI
5 Bars visible -55dBm <= RSSI < -47dBm
4 Bars visible -63dBm <= RSSI < -55dBm
3 Bars visible -72dBm <= RSSI < -63dBm
2 Bars visible -80dBm <= RSSI < -72dBm (-80dBm is the recommended minimum limit)
1 Bar visible -88dBm <= RSSI < -80dBm (signal strength is too low)
0 Bar visible -97dBm <= RSSI < -88dBm (signal strength is too low)
Values greater than -47dBm are not reported and, therefore, signal strengths equal or greater than -47 are
always indicated as ‘> -47 dBm’.
AV This is an Analogue Value, which is automatically generated as a result of ‘device current status’ and can
be interpreted as previously described above, or when viewing in analogue mode at a Zeta control and
indication panel.
