Periphery components for ESSER FACP

48 TI 798960.GB0 / 04.20

7.1.1 Features and system limitations IQ8Wireless transponder

Possible operating modes

• Stand-alone

• Connection to a standard detection zone of a fire alarm control panel

• Connection to the esserbus

or esserbus

PLus

System limits

• Max. 32 IQ8Wireless detector bases (incl. IQ8Quad fire detector) per transponder or

• Maximum 10 IQ8MCP / Manual Call Points (incl. IQ8Wireless Interface) per transponder.

• If the IQ8Wireless transponder is connected to a conventional detector zone, all assigned IQ8Wireless devices

form one common detector zone (refer to VdS Guidelines)

System limits for the loop

• An IQ8Wireless transponder is a device on the loop and requires 1 address

• An assigned IQ8Wireless detector base (incl. IQ8Quad fire detector) is a device on the loop and requires

1 address

• An IQ8Wireless MCP (incl. IQ8Wireless Interface) is a device on the loop and requires 1 address

• An IQ8MCP (incl. IQ8Wireless Interface) is a device on the loop and requires 1 address

• Max. 127 devices (addresses) per loop

• Max. 10 IQ8Wireless transponders per loop

• Every automatic IQ8Quad fire detector (with IQ8Wireless detector base) or IQ8MCP / Manual Call Points

(incl. IQ8Wireless Interface) can be configured as a separate detector zone

Automatic fire detectors and MCPs may not be operated on one and the same IQ8Wireless

transponder.

In practice, for each loop this means

• Max. 123 IQ8Wireless bases (incl.IQ8Quad fire detectors without integrated alarm device), divided between

4 IQ8Wireless transponders or

• Max. 117 IQ8Wireless bases (incl. IQ8Quad fire detectors without integrated alarm device), divided between

10 IQ8Wireless transponders

In addition to this, when using the maximum number allowed, no additional Wireless or bus devices can be

connected to the loop.

If additional bus devices such as detectors or esserbus

transponders are operated on the loop, the

corresponding number of Wireless devices is reduced.

For further information refer to documentation of the IQ8Wireless devices.
