LOOPSENSE EN54 INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING
2. Introduction
2.1 System Overview
The purpose of the LoopSense Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) is to monitor changes in inputs,
report those changes and update selected outputs as programmed.
The FACP processes changes in inputs such as fire, fault, pre-alarm, emergency, security, user,
transparent and system and has a built-in menu structure to view its status, perform operational
tests, and modify the panel’s configuration and programming.
The LoopSense FACP is compliant with EN54-2 and EN54-4.
In addition to the mandatory requirements of EN54-2 the LoopSense FACP meets the following
optional features with requirements:
 7.8 Output to fire alarm devices
 7.9 Control of fire alarm routing equipment
 7.91 Output to fire alarm routing equipment
 7.92 Alarm Confirmation input from fire alarm routing equipment
 7.11 Delays to outputs
 7.12 Coincidence detection
 8.3 Fault signals from points
 8.9 Output to fault warning routing equipment
 9.5 Disablement of each addressable points
 10 Test condition
The LoopSense FACP has the capabilities to include functions and features that are
additional to the requirements of EN54-2. These additional functions and features are
outlined in section 10 of this manual.
