9.3 Creating a Site File by Logging and Mapping Devices Directly on the 6100
The alternate method for creating a site file is to log and map loop devices on the 6100, then upload the site
file into the commissioning software. Any loop device parameters or panel options may then be edited as
required and the file downloaded into the 6100.
10.0 Programming Loop Device Data
Loop device data programming is done in the Edit -> Device editor window.
10.1 Allocating a Zone Number to a Loop Input Device
Loop input devices must be allocated a zone number in the range 1 to 32. The zone number required will
depend on where the device is physically located on site. Usually ‘as fit’ drawings are available detailing this
information. Click on the zone field of the relevant loop address and enter the zone number.
10.2 Allocating an Input Group to a Loop Input Device
Loop input devices must be allocated an input group number in the range 1 to 31. The input group number
required will depend on how the system designer wishes the system to respond when the input group is
activated ( linked by programming in the cause and effect matrix, see section 11.0 ). Click on the Input
group field of the relevant loop address and enter an input group number.
Note that, if enabled, the Remote Alarm input occupies input group 31, which is then unavailable for
use by loop input devices. Similarly, if the Class Change input is enabled input group 30 is
unavailable.
10.3 Allocating an Output Group to a Loop Output Device
Loop output devices ( sounders, beacons, CCOs etc. ) must be allocated an output group in the range
1 to 32. The output group number required will depend on how the system designer wishes the system to
respond when an input group is activated ( linked by programming in the cause and effect matrix, see
section 16.0 ). Click on the Output group field of the relevant loop address and enter an output group
number.
Non talking and talking loop devices must not be programmed into the same output group.
10.4 Allocating an Output Group to the Conventional Alarm Outputs
The conventional alarm outputs on the 6100 are designed to drive standard 24V output devices. In the
Edit -> Matrix editor window a section is provided to map an output group to the conventional alarm
outputs. By doing this the conventional outputs will follow programming associated with the chosen output
group as shown in Table 10.0.
