The 6300 panel drives up to four digital addressable loops with up to 191 addresses each. However the
number of detection devices and manual call points must be limited to a maximum of 512 in order to comply
with En54 part 2.
An addressable fire alarm system can pinpoint the location of an activated device because each device is
associated with an address. The advantage of an addressable system is that up to 191 different addresses are
possible on the same pair of wires. Each address is assigned to any of the zones available, zoning is done on
site by the commissioning engineer.
1.1 CONTROL PANEL
On the 6300 panel, all user control functions mentioned in this document are accessible after opening the
lockable windowed door.
The 6300 panel communication capabilities enable it to be connected to other 6300 panels through a secure
network. Alternatively, the 6300 panel can be used as a standalone panel. In either case repeat panels can be
connected to the system.
1.2 DEVICES
A digital addressable loop uses sensors instead of trigger devices. There are several different types of digital
addressable sensors available. For a list of available devices refer to appendix A.
