iRIS8 - Addressable Fire Alarm Panel – Installer Programming

3.2.9. Addressing of Devices

This menu allows the installer to set or change the device address or to perform self- or auto-addressing procedure. The
type of addressing depends on the installer's preferences and the system capacity and configuration.
The installer can use three approaches for adding devices to the system configuration.
• The devices are directly connected to the panel via IRIS TTE Loops. The panel will recognize them and gives
automatically addresses according the order of the devices in the line. The panel will start with the first free address in
the system configuration. The installer can SAVE the new devices one-by-one or all at the same time with SAVE button
from the Programming main screen.
• SELF ADDRESSING. The new devices are prepared for connection to the system configuration - the loop line
is ready but the devices are not installed (the detectors and sounders are not mounted to the bases, the call points and
modules are not connected to the loop). The installer enters ADDRESSING - START SELF-ADDRESSING menu. The
panel shows the first free address for every of the available IRIS TTE loops. Now the installer can start mounting
detectors and modules one-by-one. The panel will set the displayed address number to the mounted device and
automatically proceeds with next free address in the system – see item 3.2.9.3.
• AUTO ADDRESSING. The auto addressing feature of iRIS8 panel has the purpose to make the installation of the
addressable systems easier. By using it the installer could mount all devices without setting address and then do it
automatically by a single click in the panel. There are two main ways for auto addressing: by ID number of the devices,
and by isolators – see item 3.2.9.4.
The direction of auto-addressing procedure by isolator module, according the positive and negative lines of the IRIS
TTE Loop expander, is shown on the next connection diagram:
End Direction
During the auto-addressing procedure by isolator modules, the panel begins to address the devices in the loop one-by-
one starting from the right positive and negative lines of IRIS TTE Loop following the direction to the right. The
addresses in the possible branches on the loop continue the address numbers from the main line to the end of the
branch. Then the address numbering continues on the main line and so on.
Attention: The branch sections can be located only using Auto-addressing by isolator module procedure.
