4.7 Edit Group Configuration

Clicking the Group Config tab displays the Group Config window which deals with how loop
sounder/VADs and the panel's conventional sounders interact with Zones. The intersection of the
rows and columns clearly show the settings (see FIG.6).
There are a maximum of 16 or 32 Zones (dependent on CAST XFP model) and a maximum of 16 Groups.
By default, Groups 1 to 5 are set to continuous (Evacuation) operation if a fire event occurs in any
Zone and Groups 6 to 16 are not configured.
There are two conventional sounders circuits in the CAST XFP panel, i.e. Panel Sounder 1 & Panel
Sounder 2. By default, Panel Sounder 1 assigns to Group 1 and Panel Sounder 2 assigns to Group 2.
Combined loop sounder/VAD devices can be assigned to different Groups in the Loop Summary
