NB ☞
An APIC may be used to decode detector status information and relay this the the Fire
Panel via the Addressable Bus 1 and Bus 2 terminal block connections (see section 5.3.1
‘Detector terminal block connections’).
Note: The detector address on the RS485 communications loop and the Fire Panel
addressable protocol address are the same i.e. no address translation is performed.
Some protocols may not support all of the available alarm levels and fault reporting is
usually a general fault with no detailed fault information.
