3.0 Introduction
The Protec 6100 Fire Alarm Control Panel has been designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom. The
6100 complies fully with current standards dictating fire alarm system design practice ( EN54 parts 2 and 4 ).
The 6100 panel is a single loop fire alarm control panel incorporating an on-board power supply and high
power loop driver circuitry that allow communication to a maximum of 192 Protec 6000Plus series devices.
This manual is concerned with how the 6100 system is commissioned using the software suite specifically
designed by Protec for the purpose. It is assumed the commissioning engineer is familiar with standard
addressable fire alarm system operation and terms of reference.
The 6100 Commissioning Software allows the commissioning engineer to perform the following functions.
• Downloading the 6100 operating system firmware.
• Open, edit and download site files.
• Create site files by scanning in loop device data using a barcode scanner.
• Upload the current site file from the 6100 for backup, or printing.
• Edit / enter device, zone and panel text.
• Upload fire and non-fire historic logs.
• Import device, zone and panel text from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
( using the Excel™ text editor program developed by Protec ).
