FBII XL-4 Programming Manual page 71

Using this method it is necessary to define the zone numbers for each multiplex point. In
addition the points must be physically connected to the bus and operational at the time of
reset. If adding additional points to the buss, it is necessary to define the points within the
programming sequence then exit programming to cause the system to read the buss and
recognize the points.
If the multiplex buss or any module is disconnected and the panel is reset, the respective zones
will not be identified. As a result, multiplex zones are not fully supervised by this method. This
method should be selected only to confirm the address settings on multiplex modules because it
identifies only the connected zones upon reset.
The second method (MUX EXPANDER 2) relies on the zone definitions to determine the
points connected to the multiplex bus. An active point on the multiplex buss will be any point
(zone 9 - 72 for XL-4 or 9 - 128 for XL-5) which contains any condition that will cause either
an alarm or trouble condition on open or short. Also, the point must be connected for it to be
an active zone. In order for a zone to be inactive then questions 158 - 161 must all be
answered as NO. NOTE: If the multiplex buss or any module is disconnected and the panel is
reset, the respective zones will be identified as missing. As a result, multiplex zones are fully
supervised by this method. This method should always be selected.
Select Zone Number
142 SEL ZONE
000 000 = SKIP
The zone selection display requests the zone number to be defined. Enter the zone desired for
modification (001 - 072 for XL-4, 001-128 for XL-5) based on the zone numbers indicated
above. To skip the zone definition questions entirely enter 000. Upon completion of the
programming questions for a particular zone, the selection display will reappear with the
next sequential zone number as the current value.
If the zone multiplex adapter or 8 zone expander has not been enabled (question 031) then zone
numbers greater than 8 are not applicable.
Zone Type
143 ZN TYPE Zxxx
INSTANT
Indicates the zone type with the following options:
Instant
Exit/Entry
Interior EE Follower
Interior
Fire - Smoke
Fire - Pull Station
Keyswitch
NOTES:
FIRE - SMOKE - This zone type is used to define a conventional or multiplex smoke detector.
The smoke detector will adhere to the Fire Verification and Reset logic. If the smoke detector
is an integrated multiplex device then it will obtain its reset signal through the multiplex
bus. If the smoke detector is connected to a hardwired zone or through a multiplex adapter
then Relay #2 will be used for the smoke power reset.
FIRE - PULL STATION - This type should be used for a fire device such as a pull station
that does not require verification and reset logic.
