Programming Analog/Addressable Devices
The PFC-9000 panel has a full line of addressable peripheral devices that may be connected to the SLC. All of the peripherals
must have the EEPROM programmed. All new devices are addressed at 127. These devices must be addressed using the
Hochiki TCH-B100 hand held programmer. Also, the sensors are analog/addressable and can be diagnosed using the hand held
programmer for their analog value. The hand held programmer is powered from a conventional 9VDC battery that is provided.
Note: Before operating the device, ensure the battery is connected and when completed with the programming disconnect the
battery. Each device must be individually and uniquely addressed in order for the PFC-9000 to operate and recognize the device
connected to the SLC loop. The ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors and the fixed temperature heat sensor simply slide
onto the programmer to be programmed.
Once the address is set on a device, mark the address on the label area on the device for future reference.

Testing a Sensor
The TCH-B100 has the capability of reading the analog value of the smoke and heat sensors. Slide the sensor on to programmer
and turn the programmer on by pressing the left gray button as outlined above. Once the unit is powered up, the address will
be displayed. Press the red button and the letter “A” will appear. The analog value will then be displayed. Allow the ionization
detectors to stabalize for at least 30 seconds for an accurate reading. The programmer will continue to be updated for three
minutes or until the programmer is turned off.
The programmer has eight error codes that can be displayed if the sensor or module is having a problem reading.
Bat-On upon power-up (battery check). Also on when the battery is low. A battery is good for about 3,000 address setting operations.
E0-Attempting to set an address beyond 127
E1-Attempting to program an address with no device connected
E2-Can not fire device after power up
E3-Invalid sensor response
E4-Can not find the device program
E5-Device read error
E6-Fail during Analog value reading
