3.3.3 Loops
– Auto Learn
3.3.3.1 Normal Procedure / Initial learn
The panel can automatically learn the presence or absence of devices at all addresses connected to the loop.
When the Auto Learn option is selected, the panel starts searching each address on the loop to locate and find
all of the devices connected. A display is shown to indicate the progress of this procedure.
For example:
[Auto Learn Loop 1] HOCHIKI
Address 15 Devices found = 3
When all addresses have been searched, the panel displays a summary screen showing the quantity of devices
found for each type of device.
For example:
[Auto Learn Loop 1] HOCHIKI
Address 127 Devices found = 4
OPT ION MUL TMP MCP SCC I/O ZMU OTHERS
0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
This summary provides a quick check to ensure that the panel has found all of the devices that should be
connected to the loop.
Press the
‘Esc’
button
to return to the main Loops Menu.
3.3.3.2 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Missing
When the panel cannot communicate with a device previously programmed into the panel, the Auto Learn
process is suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:
KEEP THIS DEVICE
.
DELETE THIS DEVICE
KEEP ALL MISSING
DELETE ALL MISSING
! Address 002 DEVICE MISSING
If the missing device is kept (or all missing devices are kept), the panel remembers the programming for these
devices. The panel will report a fault condition until such time as the missing devices are reconnected.
If the missing device is deleted (or all missing devices are deleted), the panel clears all previous programming
for these devices. This includes any sensitivity threshold changes, text assignments, zone assignment, action,
etc.
Press the
buttons to highlight the required menu option and then press the
✔
button to confirm. The pop-up
window will disappear and the panel will continue with the auto learn process.
If a single device is deleted and another missing device is subsequently registered, the display will once again
show the pop-up window to keep or delete this device.
3.3.3.3 Procedure if the Panel finds Devices Added
When the panel finds a device not previously learnt and programmed in the panel, the Auto Learn process is
suspended and the display shows a pop-up window with options. For example:
