2.2 Basic Configuration
Each card connected to the 485 Communication Line must have
its own address. This address should be set so that it matches
the corresponding card within the Advanced PC Config Tool
design.
Move the “Earth Monitor” DIP switch to the ON position to enable
local earth monitoring. Leave it in the OFF position if the card is
local to the Fire panel or is grouped with another card (which is
responsible for earth monitoring).
Only 1 card should ever be set to monitor the earth state.
Move the PBUS EOL DIP switch to the On position if the card is
the last device in the communication line. No external resistors
are required.
2.2.1 PSU Mon / Input 10
By default, input 10 is set to operate as a PSU monitor. Detectable conditions are:
Line State
Input Interpretation
Associated PSU Monitor State
EOL Present
Normal Operation
PSU Monitor Ok
EOL Missing
Open Circuit Fault
PSU Monitor Fault
Short
Active / PSU Fault
PSU Monitor Fault
When set to behave as a “PSU Monitor” the input becomes task specific.
Monitored/Unmonitored settings assigned by the configuration tool are ignored.
The input is always interpreted by the Fire Panel as a PSU Fault regardless of any
other action (if any) that is assigned to it in the PC Configuration Tool design.
Setting the “Input 10 EN” DIP switch to the “On” position allows the input operation mode to be set by the PC
Configuration Tool. This allows the input to operate in Monitored or Unmonitored mode, and it will no longer be
interpreted by the Fire Panel as a PSU fault signal; freeing up the input to be used for other tasks.
2.2.2 Disabling PSU Mon / Input 10
Should an installation not require the use of input 10 at all, it can be easily disabled without the need for extra
wiring/resistors. To bypass the input:
-
On the card, Set DIP
switch “Input 10 EN” to the “On” position
-
In the PC Configuration Tool d
esign, Set Input to “No Action”
