The FS-Tools Programming Utility can be used to locally or remotely program the FACP from most Windows® compatible computers (PC), running Windows 7 or newer, 32 or 64 bit. The FACP program files can also be created and stored on the PC for future download to the con-trol panel. FS-Tools can be downloaded from www.firelite.com.
A standard USB cable with male-A to male-A connectors, which must be purchased separately, is required for local connection of the PC to the USB port J20 on the FACP main circuit board. Remote programming requires that the PC have a GSM or Ethernet connection. FS-Tools also provides the ability to create panel program files on a USB flash drive.
The drive can then be plugged into USB port J20 on the FACP main circuit board. Important: Remote modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for remote download (refer to “FS-Tools Upload/Download” on page 126). Remote interrogation of panel programming, history logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote download option.
