SI400 Sintony

This section provides instructions for operating SI400 Sintony panels from a Desigo CC station.

 

Handle SI400 Intrusion Events

Event treatment can include multiple steps. The following procedure presents a typical scenario related to an intrusion event (red color). You can suspend/resume this procedure at any step.

  1. In Event List, select the event (one at a time).
  1. Click Acknowledge .
  • This informs the local panels that alarm handling has started from Desigo CC.
  1. If Desigo CC presents you with an operating procedure to follow, complete the required steps.
  1. Ensure that the event has terminated.
  1. Click Reset to reset the event.
  1. In Assisted Treatment only, click Close to close the event.
  1. Click the event button.
  • The event is cleared from Event List.

Alarm handling differs depending on the event category:

  • Danger: same steps as Life Safety, except for that some specific events that may not require Reset.
  • Fault: Reset is generally not required.
  • Exclusion: no Acknowledge or Reset is required.
  • Anomaly or Information: no Acknowledge or Reset is required, except for a few specific event types.

In case of a Life Safety event, the Acknowledge command automatically silences the alarming devices.

 

Get Status: Single Read of SI400 Active Inputs

The Get Status command performs a single read of the inputs of an intrusion partition (unarmed), and reports if any are currently active. Active intrusion inputs, if not bypassed, prevent the system from being armed.

  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [BACnet Network] > [SI400 panel] > [Logical Tree] > [system] > [partition].
  1. In the Extended Operation tab, select Mode.
  1. Click Get Status.
    NOTE: To reach the Get Status command, you may need to expand the command list under Ready to Arm.
  • In a few seconds, if any input is active, the corresponding Active event displays in Event List.
  1. Check the active inputs in Event List.
  • In the Textual Viewer or, if available, in a dedicated graphic, you can have a convenient summary of the area inputs.

 

Ready to Arm: Continuous Monitoring of Active Inputs

The Ready to Arm command starts a continuous read of an intrusion partition (unarmed), to identify and monitor any active inputs that are not ready for arming. You can use this command to help prepare a partition for arming. Each not-ready input continues to be monitored until:

  • The input becomes ready (inactive).
  • The partition is armed (Fullset or Partset command).
  • Communication with the SI400 panel is interrupted
  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [BACnet Network] > [SI400 panel] > [Logical Tree] > [system] > [partition].
  1. In the Extended Operation tab, select Mode.
  1. Click Ready to Arm.
    NOTE: To reach the Ready to Arm command, you may need to expand the command list under Get Status.
  • In a few seconds, if any input is active, the corresponding Not Ready event displays in Event List.
  1. Check the active inputs in Event List.
  • In the Textual Viewer or, if available, in a dedicated graphic, you get a convenient summary of the area inputs.
  1. Remove the not-ready conditions and check the changes of state of the inputs. The Ready to Arm command will continue monitoring them
  • When all inputs are in a normal condition, the system can be armed.

Be aware that the Ready to Arm command only monitors the currently active inputs, and any subsequent change of state from normal to active is not reported until you start a new command (Get Status, Ready to Arm or Arm).
