Installation and programming manual
Chapter 10
Configuring the loop
When configuring the loop, you must define the typology (refer to Appendix A, Appendix B and Appendix C)
and wiring (two or four wires) and also the connected devices. The connected devices may belong either
to the fire control system (e.g.: detectors, modules, bells, etc.), or to the gas extinguishant system. The
panel considers each device a “point” which must first be enrolled and then programmed.
Note: To install devices other than those specified in the appendix, you must use an input module to interface
between the loop and the devices concerned.
Each point is associated with a device type (e.g. optical smoke detector) and an address.
The following section describes the different ways of configuring loop points:
1. add/remove a point, using the respective address or type
2. assign an address to a device and allow it to acquire data from the panel
3. ask the panel to acquire data from the devices (all or only new devices) and assign their addresses
(only for INIM and Argus loop types).
Once the configuration has been completed, you can go on to program each separate point (refer to paragraph
11.1).
Attention: You must insert the respective programming jumper (J8 or J9) before starting the
addressing procedure (J8 for programming from panel; J9 if for programming from PC).
Note: In the first case, you can configure the loop without panel linkup, for example, at your office. The
configuration can be downloaded to the panel later. In the other two cases, you can configure the loop
from the panel or via a PC connected to the panel.
Once the loop has been configured, any form of tamper to the device (e.g.: disconnection,
dislodgement, etc.) will generate a fault signal.
10.1 Defining loop typology
From panel: <key>, Programming, Configuration, Loop, Ok, Loop Parameters
Select the loop type (INIM, Argus, Apollo) and wiring type (2 or 4 wires).
10.2 Adding/Removing any type of device manually
From the panel: <key>, Programming, Configuration, Loop, Ok, Add point or Delete point
A new device can be added to the system configuration manually:
1. Select an unassigned address.
2. Associate the respective device type with the selected address.
3. Set the device address.
4. Connect the device to the loop.
Note:
This method is recommended for the addition or removal of a few devices only. The first configuration of a
new installation should be done using the
Automatic enrolling
option (only for devices that accept this
method, refer to paragraph A.1.1 - Re-addressing and paragraph B.5.2 - Automatic setting of devices) or
the
Automatic Enrolling
option (suitable for all devices) after an initial setting done manually on each
separate device.
