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 
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.
Note: The  sensors  communicate  with the re panel through the 
loop connection whether the 24VDC power supply is on or not.
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 with the 24VDC power supply on.
* 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, NF5000 and 
ID3000 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 sensors must 
also be the same.
How to Set this up for the NF50-A, NF50, NF50-S, ID60 and 
Pearl Panels
The  co-operative  Multi-Sensing  is  automatically  activated  if  the 
VIEW™ sensors on a loop are put into the same AWACS group. 
Setting  an  AWACS  group  to  0  will  disable  co-operative  Multi-
Sensing for that sensor.
SETTING THE ADDRESSES POWERING UP
Using Default Settings
1.   Connect  a  suitable  24VDC  supply  (complying  with  European 
Standard EN 54-4) to pins 1 and 2 on terminal block T1 (See 
Table 2)
2.   Check the voltage at the connector. Make sure it is within the 
required voltage range.
3.   If the voltage is within the specied range, connect the power 
connector to the unit.
4.   Close and secure the housing door; verify the fan starts up and 
air ows out of the exhaust port. The unit takes 1-3 minutes to 
initialise and stabilise in normal mode.
EXTERNAL RESET
The  default  setting  for  the  congurable  external  input  is  Device 
Reset (terminal block T8). A short circuit connection between these 
terminals will cause the FAAST LT unit to perform a reset.
