: Enabling or disabling sectors, devices, and auxiliary relays. Commissioning Process Overview

With the tool still online, disable all outputs (to avoid building evacuation). Then, physically test 10-20% of devices (as per BS/EN standards) while watching the tool’s live event window. Verify each device reports correctly. : Enabling or disabling sectors, devices, and auxiliary

| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution via Commissioning Tool | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Wrong COM port, no dongle, or faulty cable | Go to Device Manager on your PC; find the USB-Serial adapter COM port; match it in the tool. Check dongle LED. | | "Loop Short" error | Physical cable short or end-of-line resistor wrong | Use the tool's Loop Health Monitor ; it shows distance to fault. Isolate sections. | | Detector shows "Dirty" | Chamber pollution >80% | Use the Analog Values view. Schedule cleaning/replacement. Temporarily increase sensitivity if required (not recommended). | | C&E not activating | Logic error or group mismatch | Use the C&E Dependency Checker . The tool will highlight unused inputs or impossible logic. | | Sounder silence fails | Wrong output type configured | Edit the output device in the tool. Change from "Non-Latching" to "Latching" or adjust the pulse timer. | This retains the old device’s labels, zone, and C&E links
