54 XPIQ PN 51013:C 7/01/03
Address Consumption
The total number of addresses used by the XPIQ is determined by the data programmed into
the XPIQ via the PK-XPIQ software. The address points are assigned in order by the
software. For ease in describing the addressing process, these address points have been
assigned to groups and are described below. Addresses are assigned in the order of the
groups: B, G, S, F, M.
B Base Address (SW1 & SW3 settings) - the base address is the first of the sequential
addresses used by the XPIQ. This address acts as a monitor module which is reserved to
indicate General Trouble.
G This variable has a value of 0 or 3, depending on what is selected when programming the
“XPIQ Monitor Point Selection” option. If the “System Trouble Monitor Point” option is
selected, G has a value of 0. If the “Trouble Monitor Points (General, AC Loss, Battery,
Earth Fault” option is selected (required in Canada), G has a value of 3. If the separate
points of this second option are not selected, all three troubles are reported as General
Trouble using the Base Address.
S The addresses included in this group act as control modules that direct an XPIQ audio
input channel to an audio amplifier speaker circuit. S can have a value of one through 16,
depending on the points that are programmed. Note that only the points actually
programmed will consume an address. For example, if a single audio channel is
programmed to a single audio amplifier speaker circuit, only one address (Base Address +
1) will be used. If two audio channels are selectively programmed to two audio amplifier
speaker circuits, four addresses will be used since each amplifier can be programmed to
two different circuits. Refer to Table 2.4 through Table 2.19, which follow this section, for
more information on various channel and speaker configurations.
F The addresses in this group act as control modules which are used to activate from one to
four FFT (Firefighter Telephone circuits) or NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits). F
can have a value from 0 to 4. If no circuits are programmed, F=0.
M M can have a value of 0 or 1. The address acts as a control module which can be
programmed by the user for background music control. M=0 if background music is not
controlled. M=1 if background music is controlled.
Once each of the above groups has been given a numerical value based on the number of
addresses within the group, the total number of addresses consumed by the XPIQ is
determined by adding together all the addresses:
Total number of FACP addresses used by the XPIQ = B + G + S + F + M
Channel and Speaker Configurations
The following tables detail the various channel and speaker configurations. The address for
each combination appears at the intersection of the rows representing the input channels to be
directed to an amplifier and the columns representing the amplifier speaker circuit to be
activated. S has been given a numerical value.
