Table 2: Wiring Terminal Designations
(Note - Terminals marked CH2 will only be available on 2 channel 
models)
Address 1; in 2 channel units (or when two sensors 
are tted) the second device is set to Address 2.
Any sensor address may be used except 0, whilst 
respecting  the  panel’s  rules  on  co-operative 
Multi-Sensing* (see below) between the VIEW™ 
smoke sensors.
Module
The  module  address  is  set  by  means  of  rotary 
decade address switches located behind the door 
of the unit. Use a screwdriver to rotate the wheels 
to the desired address. The selected address 
refers to channel 1; on 2 channel units the device 
assigns the next (+1) module address to channel 
2 automatically.  Hence, address 159  is not  valid 
for  channel  1.  (Note:  for  control  panels  that  use 
only 99 addresses, 99 is invalid for channel 1.)
Note: The module address will only respond to a 
panel poll when in Normal mode.
* Co-Operative Multi-Sensing
Depending  upon  the  panel  used,  the  rules  to 
dene  the  co-operative  Multi-Sensing  between 
the VIEW™ smoke sensors differs. This mode will 
allow an even higher sensitivity, but is only to be 
used for the sensors within a single NFXI-ASD12.
How to Set this up for the NF300, NF3000, 
NF500 and NF5000 Panels
The  co-operative  Multi-Sensing  is  automatically 
activated if the VIEW™ sensors on a loop are set 
to adjacent sensor addresses and if they are also 
put into the same zone.   Additionally, if cells are 
being used, the cell numbers for the co-operative 
How to Set this up for the NF50-A, NF50, NF50-S and Pearl 
Panels
The  co-operative  Multi-Sensing  is  automatically  activated  if  the 
VIEW™ sensors on a loop are put into the same cell. Setting a cell 
to 0 will disable co-operative Multi-Sensing for that sensor.
IMPORTANT
If  Co-operative  Multi-Sensing  is  enabled  in  the  panel,  the  two 
VIEW™ sensors within an Aspirating Smoke Detector are required 
to have adjacent addresses set. 
If  more  than  one  Aspirating  Smoke  Detector  is  used  on  a  loop, 
ensure that the VIEW™ sensors do not have adjacent addresses 
across two  different Aspirating  Smoke Detectors. This  will cause 
the panel to generate a fault message instead of a re message 
when smoke is detected by one of the Aspirated Smoke Detector 
units but not the other.
To avoid problems, ensure that no VIEW™ sensors on a loop have 
addresses set adjacent to the address values set in an Aspirating 
Smoke Detector.
POWERING UP

RELAY  ACTION:  NOTES
ALARM 1 or 2  Controlled by panel when it determines 
alarm condition has been met.  
Set ON and OFF by panel; not latched 
FAULT 1 or 2  When FAULT CONDITION on Ch1 or Ch2 
or a common FAULT occurs. Fault is also 
signalled when in Service Mode and when 
the device is unpowered. 
Fault state is not latched. 
SOUNDER 1 or 2  Set ON when a channel is in ALARM. 
Sounder 1 corresponds to Ch1 and 
Sounder 2 corresponds to Ch2 
Default condition = set on in ALARM. 
SETTING THE ADDRESSES
Figure 10: Address Switches
Each  aspiration  channel  uses  loop  communications  to  report  its 
status  information  to  the  CIE  (Fire  Panel). As  a  factory  default, 
the  unit  will  report  smoke  alarm  and  sensor  information  at  an 
associated  sensor  address  and  general  alerts  and  faults  on  a 
different module address.
Sensor
The sensor address is set on rotary decade switches on the back 
of the smoke sensing devices. The smoke sensors are located 
under the sensor cover inside the unit (see Figure 9). The Smoke 
Sensors section of Service  -  later  in  the  manual  -  shows  how 
to remove the  sensors. As  supplied,  the  default  for channel  1  is 
sensors must also be the same.
