Johnson Controls FireClass FC702S - Obtain Slot Card Addresses; Install PLX800 Loop Expansion Card

FIRECLASS Fire detection system Obtain Slot Card Addresses
Installation Guide Doc. version 2.0 29
11.1 Obtain Slot Card Addresses
When you install slot cards as described in later sec-
tions of this guide, you may need to set the addressing
DIP switches of these cards.
Here is an example of how to obtain the address to set:
1 Start the configuration software, we will assume
this is FireClass Express.
2 Open the system configuration.
3 Go to ‘Point Regions’.
4 Look down the list to the ‘Slot Card’ entries.
5 Find a slot address number that is populated with
the type of card you are installing (a PLX800 for
example). There is a maximum of 1 PLX800 slot card
and 1 PNI800 slot card fitted. The addresses are:
PLX800: address 1
PNI800: address 2
6 Make sure this address number has not already
been allocated – you might have to read the DIP
switch settings of already installed cards.
7 If the address number is free, note this to be set on
the card’s DIP switch, as covered in a later section
below.
12 Install the PLX800 - Loop
Expansion Card
1 Assemble the slot card components as shown in
Fig. 24.
2 Check whether the card needs a firmware upgrade
and if so, refer to the relevant Technical Information
Bulletin (TIB).
3 Obtain the address number to set on the card’s
addressing DIP switch – see Section “Obtain Slot
Card Addresses”. For PLX800, the address number
is 1 and there can be a maximum of one PLX800 fit-
ted.
4 While obtaining the address, also check if a loop
actually needs connecting. In ‘Loop Regions’, if
‘Loop E’ (for example) has ‘No addresses’ (zero
addresses allocated to it), then you should not con-
nect that loop.
5 Set jumper J1 to the “Pin 1 shorted to Pin 2” posi-
tion. The ‘J1’ label is on the PCB.
6 Set the addressing DIP switches to the chosen card
address number (see Item 5 in Fig. 23). For a set-
tings look up chart see Table 46.
