XLS80e Fire Alarm Control Panels

3.14 System Networking

The XLS80e Fire Control system is designed
so that control panels can work either as stand-
alone units or networked with other panels.
When networked, each panel supervises its
own detection system of up to eight loops of
sensors and modules and functions
independently of all other panels.
A communication system enables events at
any panel to be relayed to other panels. This
causes appropriate annunciations and actions
at those panels.
Network Programming
The XLS80e Series panel can be used with one
of two networks:
a. Master/Slave network. Refer to Section 14
for further information.
b. XLSNET peer-to-peer fault-tolerant network.
Refer to Appendix 3 for further information.
Local Codes of Practice
Master/Slave network: The existence of network
communications is not, normally, intended to
replace the essential functions of the individual
panels (considered as isolated systems) but
to supplement and extend the facilities offered.
This means that each panel must be configured,
independently of the others, to comply with the
appropriate Code of Practice in force in the area
of the installation (i.e. in respect of the activation
of alarm devices in response to an Alarm of
Fire). This compliance must be maintained at
all times, even when communication with other
panels is suspended.
