Introduction

The Model DPU Device Programming Unit is used to
program and test detectors and devices for MXL,
FireFinder-XLS, FS-100, FS-250, FC20 (FC2025, FC2050,
FC2005, FC922, FC924 and FC901) systems. In
FireFinder-XLS, FS-250 or FC20 installations, the DPU
may be used to check wiring loops for ground faults and
short circuits as well as to check communication of the
installed devices by displaying the device types and
addresses of all devices on the loop.
A DB-11 base is integrated into the body of the DPU for
programming intelligent detectors. An external adaptor
must be used for programming detectors that require a
DB-3S base. The DPU operates from either rechargeable
or off-the-shelf non-rechargeable batteries that are
located in an easily accessible battery compartment. The
DPU is supplied with a carrying strap, six nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) batteries, cables, banana plug to alligator
clip adaptors, an external power supply, and a DB-3S
base adaptor. Optional accessories are a small case, a
label printer, and a large case which holds the DPU and
the label printer.
A 4-line by 20-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with
adjustable backlighting is incorporated in the DPU. In
addition to the numerical keypad, the DPU has four
function buttons, two on each side of the display, which
make operation simple and straightforward.
