Learning Which Devices Are Fitted
1. Enter programming mode. (See page Access Levels, Installer Access Code)
2. Select function “8-3-2 Clear Non-Volatile RAM” and clear the NVRAM.
3. Exit Programming mode.
4. Press SYSTEM RESET.
5. Wait 90 seconds for the system to automatically learn which devices are present and report any faults.
6. A SYSTEM RESET or MASTER RESET results in:
○ First: An analogue loop power off period of 8 seconds [reset];
○ Second: An analogue loop charge up of 15 seconds;
○ Last: Loop polling starting.
7. Review the faults (using the FAULT QUEUE REVIEW key if there is more than one). Note down the messages then
remove power and rectify the faults.
8. Power up the system, let it initialize and enter programming mode.
9. Select function 7-1 Device Count, Type and Value.
10. Use
🔺
or ▼ to select the device, confirm that all devices are present. If the Loop Card fitted has more than 1 loop,
use the ▶ to scroll through loops and verify the presence and proper operation of all devices fitted to this loop.
11. Once all faults have been cleared and the system has been in Installation Mode for 90 seconds, then the system can
be put into Active Mode.
12. Note that there is no clear end to Installation mode because the system is constantly looking and learning. However if
the system is put into Active Mode and Installation Mode hasn’t had time to identify all system components, you will
very quickly be greeted with error reports regarding unexpected devices.
13. If devices are ever removed, replaced or added then Installation Mode must be selected so that the system can learn
a new configuration. If you do not do this the system will report a fault or missing devices.
NOTE:
New Self Addressable Devices need a different installation process because they need to be
assigned addresses before the panel can learn that they are present. This procedure is covered later in
this manual in the section entitled “6-4 Automatic Address Setting”.
Sounder Audibility Check
If the building is unoccupied then press SOUND ALARMS. All sounders should operate until the button is pressed again.
Confirm that this is the case.
If the building is occupied it is strongly recommended that the test sounders functions in programming mode are used. Enter
programming mode and select 7-2 Test Sounders. Using this function, all the sounders can be checked.
The Panel’s Conventional and Loop Sounders will sound for 1 second and then be silenced for 9 seconds.
