Synch In and Synch Out lines. This allows loops connected to different detectors to be scanned in series or parallel. When in Program Mode, the Model P-1400 detector displays the real time loop frequency reading for each channel. The eight frequency levels can be incremented or decremented to provide precise frequency settings.
3.00 (OFF). This option should only be turned ON at the advice of Reno A&E. NOTE: Each loop can be enabled independently. 3.00 = 250 milliseconds filter. 3.01 = 1 second filter. 3.02 = 2 seconds filter. 3.03 = 10 seconds filter. 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 2 of 33...

2.11 OPTION 7: SYNCH FEATURE This option provides a means of linking together up to four (4) P-1400 detectors. Each detector’s Option 7 has three settings ranging from 7.00 to 7.02. There are two modes of Synch, Series Synch and Parallel Synch. When set to operate in Series Synch mode, one detector channel in the entire detector system is active at any given time.
This detector has a password protection feature to guard against the accidental change of detector settings. In order to change any detector setting, a valid password must be entered to disable the password protection feature. Refer to Section 5.0 for details. 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 5 of 33...
This feature can be used to eliminate crosstalk between adjacent loops connected to different P-1400 detectors. NOTE: Response times will vary depending on the number of detectors (up to a maximum of four) on the Synch Line. (See Section 3.4.)

Loop Check function is turned off. During a check loop failure the LCD will flash Lcl. NOTE: If the Loop Check Timer is set to 0 minutes, the Loop Check function is off. : The Synch feature provides a means of linking up to four P-1400 detectors together. There are two YNCH modes in which the detectors can be configured to operate, Series Synch or Parallel Synch.

Synch mode will be deactivated. If the detector that has failed to Synch has the Synch feature turned off, the other detectors configured to operate in Synch mode will continue to operate in Series Synch mode. 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 8 of 33...

VITAL IN, VITAL OUT, and VITAL AUX Output LEDs. The Output LEDs are illuminated in their red phase as a means of confirming proper function of the detector’s Vital Output failure feature. There are no internal switches or jumpers to set. 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 11 of 33...
Section 5 Installation and Set-Up Mount P-1400 in the enclosure (see diagrams below). Connect 12 VDC power, Loops, Check Loops, the Vital Input, and the Vital Outputs to the terminals marked on the motherboard as detailed below and apply power. If a loop is not connected to a loop terminal, the detector will see a failed loop and deactivate the Vital Output if it is mapped.

5.4 ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAY SCREENS The Model P-1400 stores operating parameters and detection reference settings in two places. The detector hardware includes an internal EEPROM mounted on the processor board and an EEPROM mounted on the motherboard. Logic programmed into the detector operating firmware continually checks the data stored on the two components listed above.
When the LED displays as solid green, the Auxiliary Vital Output is activated (high voltage level). When the LED displays as solid red, the Auxiliary Vital Output has failed its self-check. 5.9 SYNCH FAIL INDICATIONS 5.9.1 SERIES SYNCH FAIL INDICATIONS 889-1600-04 Model P-1400 Operations Manual Rev Apr 2020 Page 26 of 33...

LCD screen. 5.15 CHANGING PROCESSOR BOARD OR MOTHERBOARD The P-1400 detector stores user-programmed parameters on an internal EEPROM mounted on the processor board and on an EEPROM mounted on the motherboard. This allows the user to change the processor assembly or motherboard and reset the parameters that were programmed for that particular site.
(set by the sensitivity settings), the detector will deactivate a Vital output if one is mapped. If the rate of change is slow, typical of environmental drift, the detector will continuously track and compensate for the change. The Model P-1400 detector also monitors the loop frequency for out of range conditions such as an open or shorted loop circuit.
