System Overview
Spur tolerant soft addressing
CF2000 utilises intelligent soft addressing technology to greatly simplify the installation
and commissioning processes.
Once the system has been installed and the autolearn menu selected, the CF2000
control panel will automatically scan the detection loops and allocate each device with
an address number corresponding with its position on the loop, this avoids the
traditional need for manual addressing of the system devices which is time consuming
and provides a potential for error.
A major innovation with CF2000 is the ability to incorporate spurs of analogue devices
which are fed from the main loop by utilising a spur isolator.
Whenever the panel detects a spur, it breaks from allocating address numbers to the
loop wired devices, allocates address numbers to each of the devices on the spur in
sequence and then continues to address the devices on the main loop.
Every CF2000 analogue device incorporates an integral short circuit isolator ensuring
maximum system integrity. A single short circuit will not disable any loop-mounted
devices, the isolators in the devices each side of the short circuit will operate and the
CF2000 control panel will drive communication from both ends of the loop.
The spur isolator also incorporates a short circuit isolator such that in the event of a
short circuit on the spur, the integrity of the main loop will not be compromised.
Please refer to local standards local standard for details of the maximum allowable are
to be covered by a single spur.
Integral Power Supply and Battery
The CF2000 panel is designed for ease of installation, the power supply and battery are
integral to the main control panel so only a single panel is required.
