10.8 Setting Automatic Detector Sensitivities
Automatic detectors can be allocated various sensitivity levels, these are used to tailor the response of the
detector to local site conditions ( to minimise unwanted alarms due to steam in a shower, for example ). Two
sensitivity levels can be setup, Day sensitivity and Night sensitivity. Table 10.2 gives suggested applications
for each sensitivity.
The Day sensitivity is used when the 6100 is running in Day mode and is the sensitivity normally used. Night
sensitivity is used when the 6100 is in Night mode and is considered the alternate sensitivity.
To alter the sensitivity of a loop device at a particular address go to the Edit -> Device editor window.
Repeated clicking the Day Sens or Night Sens field for the loop address scrolls through the available
sensitivity selections for that device type.
Loop addresses set with an invalid sensitivity will generate a device fault on the 6100.

Sensitivity Suggested Applications
None Only used for non automatic detector types
Office The default sensitivity. Used for most applications
Bedroom Incorporates an anti-steam algorithm for use in bedrooms
Enhanced Increases the sensitivity of the optical and/or heat sensing element of the detector
Prison Used specifically for prison cells
10.9 Programming Display Group Data
The 6000/MIMIC loop device is designed to offer a loop driven geographic mimic function. The device drives
up to 255 LEDs which can be mapped to an individual loop address activation by setting the Display Group
number for that address.
The Display Group number ranges from 1 to 255 ( a Display Group of 0 disables the feature for
that address ). If that loop address activates the 6100 will illuminate the mimic LED corresponding to the
Display Group allocated to that address.
For example, if loop address 25 is allocated a Display Group of 54 then LED 54 of the 6000/MIMIC will
illuminate upon activation of address 25. The mimic LED is cleared on a 6100 reset.
10.10 Programming Repeat Group Data
In addition to the standard indicating LED, all Protec automatic detectors have the ability to control a
separate repeat LED ( consult the datasheet for the specific product for connection details ).
Each loop address on the 6100 can be allocated a Repeat Group in the range 1 to 32. The Repeat Group
number is related to an 6100 output group activation ( output groups range from 1 to 32 ).
If an output group matching the Repeat Group for an address is active ( i.e. not OFF ) then the repeat LED
on the loop address will illuminate.
For example, if loop address 54 has an Repeat Group of 12, then if output group 12 is active ( not OFF )
then the 6100 will illuminate the repeat LED on loop device address 54.
Fire activations of a loop device will always illuminate the repeat LED irrespective of the Repeat
Group setting for that address.
Any output group delays are ignored for Repeat Group processing
