A loop must be logged before it can be allocated Each Protec ‘6000’ loop device has a unique serial number. This serial number has to be linked to a unique address. The process of linking the serial number to an address is known as address allocation.
Unlike the previous Protec 6400 panel, during a rebuild each panel does not regenerate its own faults. Each panel simply retransmits its own events that already exist in its database.
