9 Introduction to Programming

The FireFinder Series II Fire Alarm Control Panel may be programmed from a computer / laptop

either directly or via a modem. This manual outlines a number of programming options available to

the operator. There are three areas of software that will be discussed as well as single panel

programming and network programming.

All of the software except for the BOOT software is stored in FLASH memory.

The Boot software is stored in EPROMS on the main CPU board.

The EEPROM on board the 302-674 is used to store Controller node address and number, hardware

and revision number and debug output control.

9.1 Boot Software:

This is the start-up software that the panel uses to start and communicate with the laptop / computer

during some of the programming. This software is stored in EPROM’s. In normal operation this

software is unlikely to be changed.

9.2 Application Software:

This is the software that the panel uses to run during normal operation. The application software

includes a diagnostic mode to enable the operator to interrogate and control functions of the panel.

In normal operation this software is unlikely to be changed.

9.3 Configuration Software:

This is the information (software) that the user down-loads to the panel to enable the panel to identify

hardware such as modules and field devices. When a program change is made using the

ConfigManager program, a data file is created. This data file is then downloaded into the

FireFinder Series II.
