RISCO Bus Configurations
The ProSYS Plus provides 4 independent RISCO Bus lines (RS485) for
communicating and powering bus-connected devices (expansion modules,
detectors, sounders, and other peripheral devices). The RISCO bus configurations
can be in any combination of daisy chain, spur or star topologies.
System Configuration Interfaces
• Wired keypad
• Configuration Software
Installation and Device Allocation Tools
• Auto Setting: This feature scans the bus lines to find all installed
communication modules and bus devices in the system. As you view the
results, you allocate (enable) each, and then you can configure their settings
on-the-fly, or later during installer programming.
• Bus Test: This test finds each installed bus device and communication module
to verify adequate bus connectivity and communication quality on a scale of
0—100%, whereas a result of 97% or less means there is a bus connection
problem. Results are individually displayed on the keypad or the
Configuration Software.
• Background noise-level threshold & calibration: For wireless devices, you can
measure (“calibrate”) the background noise that the main panel detects (to
provide an indication whether the main panel is mounted at a good location),
and also define the acceptable threshold value (to decide how much
background noise your system will tolerate before it generates jamming events).
• Wireless Communication Test: This tests and displays the signal strength
between the wireless device tested and the main panel, as an indicator of
whether the mounting location of the wireless device is adequate.
Diagnostic Tests and Maintenance Features
Various tests are available to perform during and after installation, such as the Walk
Test, Follow-Me Test, GSM Signal Strength Test, Monitoring Station Test, and
more (see Testing the System, page 215, and the respective sections in this manual).
Service Mode silences all tamper alarms at the main panel and peripheral
devices/accessories for the duration of time required for device battery replacement.
