Addressable device loop wiring
The VS1 and VS4 control panels have addressable device circuits that you can use with
addressable detectors and modules (Table 4). The VS1 supports up to 64 detectors or
modules. The VS4 accommodates two loop cards, and the loop cards can be a single loop or a
dual loop. The VS4 supports up to 1,000 devices, depending on your configuration. The loop
circuit is supervised for open circuits, short circuits, and ground faults.
