Adding, Modifying Analog/Addressable Devices
The analog/addressable devices are added on Loop 1, Loop 2 and Loop 3. The method for adding, modifying, correlating and
deleting devices on these loops are identical. As before, the Loop 1 must be highlighted then select add, delete, modify or
correlate from the Item Menu. When a loop is highlighted, the devices that are included on that loop are displayed on right side of
the screen. Double clicking on the device will automatically open the screen that allows the user to modify the device.
The picture above is the screen that is displayed when a device is added or modified. Select the Loop the device is supposed
to be on, select the type of device and select the type of process. The sensitivity is adjustable for the full range of the listed
sensitivity of the sensor. A message of two lines may be added with twenty characters each. When inputs are added, they can
automatically be correlated to all of the existing signals, strobes and relays. Also if the device is a silenceable/deactivateable
device, then the silenceable box needs to be checked. The system automatically adds the device and assigns the lowest address
available. Individually, the addresses on the devices can be changed to a unique address. The software removes the addresses that
are already used by other devices. In addition, the user can add from 1 to 127 devices at one time using the # Devices to Add,
however custom messages must be added individually. When adding multiple devices, the input type, device type, sensitivity and
automatic correlations for all of the devices will be the same.
The types of devices that can be added are the three sensors, input modules, relay output modules and supervised output modules.
The address and type of sensor must match when the program is loaded in the panel. If not the panel will be in a trouble condition
for missing and unconfigured devices. The device types are as follows:
