Overview 2
Models of the Shield Omega - X Panel operate SLC devices using Apollo protocol.
The Omega - X Panel accepts a variety of industry standard devices for FACP monitoring and reporting.
Link the Omega - X
Panel with other panels using the proprietary Omega - N to monitor conditions between
panels. Provide reports concerning these conditions to monitoring-centers using a standard TELCO line.
Points and Addresses
Points and addresses are fundamental to the operation of Omega - X monitoring and reporting. Devices are
identified as points when connected to the Omega - X Panel. Device points are assigned addresses when
configured on the Omega - X Panel using the Loop Explorer application. Each Omega - X Panel supports a
maximum of 126 points per loop without subpoints or 381 points per loop when utilizing subpoints.
Omega - X Panels support a point and subpoint maximum of 800 addresses per panel.
Do not exceed this 800 address maximum when assigning subpoints to poin
ts on Omega - X Panels.
Contact ID Address Restrictions
Address restrictions effect all models of the Omega - X Panel when using the Contact ID format for
monitoring-center communication.
The Contact ID format limits reporting to an address of 99. Configuration features in the eSP Discovery application
restrict the use of the Contact ID format when selecting addresses above 99. The Contact ID format can be used for
devices other than analog-sounder-bases as long as the device address and sub address are below 99.
FACP reporting can be changed from point reporting to zone reporting when the limit of 99 addresses per loop
cannot be avoided. Zone reporting can be used to resolve address assignments in excess of 99 but doing so reduces
overall reporting granularity.
Models of the Omega - X Panel can be programmed for the SIA or Contact ID digital communication format. The
SIA and Contact ID format provides status
monitoring and reporting to industry-standard receivers at the
monitoring-center.
Both of these digital communication formats provide a range of addressing for device-points and sub-points on the
Omega - X Panel. The SIA format allows full
reporting from all device-points and sub-points. The Contact ID
format provides a limited range of reporting from device-points. The eSP Discovery application uses an open
protocol to assign device addresses to the Omega - X Panel.
Reference Appendix B, “Equipment List” for all models effected by restrictions of the Contact ID format.
