Peripheral devices

Alarm points. Analog alarm points (detectors, etc.) are connected
directly to a COM loop. Conventional alarm points (detectors, etc.)
are connected to an 8 zones expansion board (4580) zone line input or
a COM loop unit (e.g. 3361) zone line input. Programmable inputs
can also be used for flow switches etc.
Short circuit isolators can be used on the COM loops.
Sounders, door release magnets, etc. are connected to COM loop unit
(e.g. 3361 / 3364) outputs and/or control unit outputs (S0-S3, R0-R1)
and/or 8 relays expansion board (4581) outputs.
sounders (3377 / 3379) are connected directly to a COM loop.
Input devices as key cabinet, timers, external faults, etc. are connected
to a programmable input, i.e. to COM loop unit (e.g. 3361) inputs
and/or to the control unit inputs (I0-I3).
Routing equipment is normally connected to the control unit outputs
"Fire alarm" (for Fire brigade tx) and "Fault condition" (for Fault tx).
(Also, any programmable output can be used).
External Fire Brigade Panels and External Displays Units are
connected directly to the RS485 channel.
More information, see the Product Leaflet for the device respectively.

COM loop units

Each COM loop (0-3) can handle up to 127 addressable COM loop
units, i.e. in total up to 512 COM loop units. Depending on the type
of units and the number of units the total current consumption will
vary and this will affect the cable length. See chapters "COM loop
cable length", page 145, "Current consumption", page 148 and dwg
512 G3 - 41.
NOTE! The control unit can be configured for up to 128, 256 or 512
addresses. Normally this is factory set but can be changed on site.
In menu H4/U7 is the current configuration shown. The units should
be distributed as even as possible on each COM loop and between the
COM loops (0, 1, 2 & 3).
The following units can be connected to the COM loops (in
NORMAL mode, except 4313 and 4370 that has to use 2330 mode):

WinG3 version 1.1.x has to be used to download the EBL512 G3 software
version 1.1.x. Change the number of addresses. This action requires a
special download password. Then download the EBL512 G3 United version
2.7.x again (via WinG3 version 1.1.x).
