Overview

The Honeywell POL-200-TS is an analogue loop diagnostic tool designed for the preliminary check of loop device installations compatible with Notifier control units. This device features a color touch screen display and is compatible with both CLIP/ADVANCED protocols from Notifier, offering additional multimeter and oscilloscope functions.

Function Description:

The POL-200-TS simplifies initial wiring tests and allows for the export of data to PK-8200 software, which includes information on detected device types. Its user-friendly interface and one-touch functions enable operation even while wearing gloves. The mapping function, which uses loop isolators, helps verify the loop cabling topology. The screen can display manufacturing dates and detailed information about sensors, inputs, and outputs, as well as identify equipment status or internal faults.

The log function creates a file containing the status and data of each loop device, facilitating accurate system operation control by anticipating and recording maintenance tasks. These saved files can be easily downloaded via USB without special software, allowing for retrieval, review, checking, and configuration of the system. Both the device and the log file include the serial number and manufacture date (month/year) of each device. The multimeter validates wiring and identifies connection problems, while the oscilloscope function helps identify electrical noise.

The tool recognizes sensors and modules on the loop before powering the fire alarm control panel (FACP). It is compatible with CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) for up to 99 sensors and 99 modules, and the Advanced or Opal protocol for up to 159 sensors and 159 modules. The auto-programming menu identifies the number and type of connected sensors or modules. The reading cycle can be continuous or single-cycle, scanning all positions to find connected devices.

The POL-200-TS reports short-circuit fault conditions (indicated by a lightning icon) and reverse polarity wiring (indicated by a diode icon). It can also quickly identify the total number of devices connected to the loop. The multimeter function allows checking line impedance, resistance, inductance, and capacitance values, as well as ground values. It also displays voltages (0V, 5V, 24V) and consumption, helping to identify drifts, short circuits, faulty elements, or inadequate system devices.

The "Map" function visually checks the loop wiring map. If isolators are correctly wired, the POL-200-TS activates them and displays a graph. It provides a device map for CLIP or Advanced protocols, with device positions potentially changing based on the protocol. The "Sample" option allows users to select a list of devices for continuous monitoring with detailed information in CLIP mode for addresses below 99. The "Event Recording" function allows selected values from the self-programming screen to be recorded in a text file, with options for "Only selected items," "Full loop," and "Maintenance."
