OnyxWorks is a PC based colour graphics system for connection into either a standalone or a network of FireSense-2800 fire alarm panels.

 

The PC sits as a node on the fire alarm network and monitors all events on the network and displays them in a clean concise graphical formal on the computer screen.

 

Users can use the PC to then acknowledge, isolate and reset individual alarm events as they occur in real time.

 

Unlimited custom maps and icons can be created directly on the PC to customize the screens specific for the project.

 

As events occur the icons change color to indicate fault, isolate or alarm status of each point on the system. Maps can also be set to auto navigate in an alarm to the area requiring attention and additional information can be stored such as hazardous material storage , emergency response plans etc.

 

Building layout maps can be imported directly from AutoCad or other applications using the universal WMF format which provides excellent clarity and detail even when zoomed in to maximum scale.

 

Onyxworks can also be used to monitor a number of networks remotely over either open or closed TCP/IP (internet)   protocol. This enables a central head office location to monitor the fire alarm systems at multiple sites or use the sites existing network infrastructure in lieu or running new cables.

 

OnyxWorks also has the ability to monitor other third party fire alarm systems using custom NION’s. All popular Australian fire alarm panels are supported using this method which can be used to integrate sites which have multiple manufacturer’s panels present giving one simple consistent user interface to the operator.
