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