Fire System Programming and Diagnostic Application

Pertronic

FireUtils v7.06.01

COMING SOON: FireUtils v8.00.00 is expected to be available in June 2023

Pertronic FireUtils® is a computer application that makes it easy to configure and analyse Pertronic F220® fire panels and the Pertronic Net2 Network. FireUtils® also supports Pertronic F120A fire panels.

FireUtils® allows users to:

  • Create, modify, upload, download, analyse, and debug fire panel and Net2 Network configuration files
  • Import configuration information from a spreadsheet or CAD programme via csv
  • Import system logs for analysis and diagnostics
  • Control a fire panel or Net2 Network from a connected laptop or PC
  • Export data reports in several popular formats
  • Export a Net2 Network Modbus object grid

A project file in FireUtils® may include multiple F220 fire panels, some or all of which may be interconnected to form a Net2 Network. The project may also include multiple stand-alone F220 and F120A fire panels.

FireUtils® displays configuration data in matrix-based editing grids; The grids provide separate tables for editing and moving analogue addressable loops, zones, timers, groups, system events, fan control blocks, deluge control blocks, logic blocks, AAF/ADF units, auxiliary outputs, LEDs, network inputs, and network nodal mapping objects (NMO).

With a few mouse-clicks, users can insert, modify, and move large numbers of loop devices and other objects, within or between loops.

Pertronic FireUtils® can read or write all configuration files for a complete Net2 Network, including all networked fire panels, over an Ethernet connection to a single Net2 network card. The FireUtils® Service Mode Window makes it easy to see and control the process of configuring or upgrading large or small Pertronic Net2 Networks.

On version 6.00 or later F220 & Net2 systems, FireUtils® is able to reconstruct a complete configuration programme, including notes, from a Net2 Network system or a stand-alone F220 fire panel.

Features:

  • High-speed Ethernet transfer of configuration files, configuration notes, and metadata
  • Matrix-style editing grids
  • Single point update of complete Net2 Network configuration including all fire panels and network cards
  • Configuration upload times for typical networks:
    • 34 nodes: Less than one minute
    • 130 nodes: Less than five minutes
  • Imports configuration data from a csv file
  • Graphic display of cause and effect logic
  • Network Service Mode window provides step-by-step monitoring and control of configuration roll-out
  • Configures Pertronic Net2 Network Cards as FireMap Text (Printer/Pager), or BMS (Modbus) interfaces
  • Network Mapping Manager edits inter-panel mappings
  • Configures time and date throughout a Net2 Network
  • Creates and manages custom loop devices
  • Exports network Modbus nodal mapping object grid
  • Keyboard-display simulators for F220 fire panel and Net2 Network Control Unit
  • Imports configuration files from an existing F220, Net2 Network, or F120A for upgrading or analysis
  • Imports F220 data logs, including history
  • Imports F220 and NET2CARD Linux diagnostic logs
  • Exports reports in pdf, Excel, and Word formats
  • Exports a complete Net2 Network configuration file for upload into Pertronic FireMap®
  • Exports fire panel config files in txt format
  • Upgrades F120A configuration to F220
  • Converts an existing F100A (v5.10 or later) configuration file to F220. (The file is imported to an F120A configuration. This is easily upgraded to F220.)
  • Up- or down-load F220 & Net2Card config via Ethernet
  • Up- or down-load F120A & F220 config via RS-232
