Methods For Addressing Loop Devices From The Panel - Teletek electronics iRIS4 Installation Manual

5.2. Methods for Addressing Loop Devices from the Panel

After connection the loop line(s) to the loop expander(s) and powering up the fire panel, iRIS4 automatically recognizes
the type of connected devices and shows them in the order of finding them along the loop line. The Installer can choose
if to Save the devices with automatically set numbers, or to address them according the requirement of the installation
specific for every protected site. The installer can use three approaches for adding and addressing devices to the
system configuration.
• The devices are directly connected to the panel via iRIS8 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 (access level 3): System-Programming-Devices-
Addressing-Start Self Addressing menu. The panel shows the first free address for every of the available iRIS8 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.
• AUTO ADDRESSING. The auto addressing feature of iRIS4 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.
The direction of auto-addressing procedure by isolator module, according the positive and negative lines of the iRIS8
TTE Loop expander, is shown on Figure 35:
