  • Page 7: About This Manual

    MAN2998-2 1 About This Manual 1.1 Introduction This manual contains all the information required to operate the LoopSense Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) and perform on site programming functions. The first step in becoming a proficient operator is to become familiar with and understand the “Menu Structure” (see Section 9) and the keys used to navigate through it.

  • Page 8: Introduction

    MAN2998-2 2 Introduction 2.1 System Overview The purpose of the FACP is to monitor changes in inputs, report those changes and update selected outputs as programmed using the LoopMaster Configuration software. The FACP processes changes in the inputs fire, fault, pre-alarm, emergency, security, user, transparent and system and has a built-in menu structure to view its status, perform operational tests, and to some degree modify the panel’s configuration and programming without the use of the LoopMaster Configuration software.

  • Page 9: System Functions

    MAN2998-2 3 System Functions System functions are the key functions that provide the mechanism to change the way the panel responds to a condition, and the way an input/output behaves to a situation. It is therefore important the engineer has a good understanding of the functions described below. 3.1 I/O Control There is a mechanism for controlling the inputs &...

Examples of inputs are detectors, digital inputs available at the panel, inputs available via loop devices, day/night mode and timers. Examples of outputs are supervised outputs available at the panel, relays available at the panel, loop based sounders, loop based beacons, loop based relays and so forth.

    MAN2998-2 9.3.3 Sounder Grouping Sounder manufacturers’ (Apollo and Hochiki) have implemented separate schemes for activating multiple sounders at the same time. All schemes rely on grouping sounders together, and then using the group number to activate a collection of sounders. If the group is associated with a zone, then zones of sounders can be activated by using the group number.
