CAST XFP 32 ZONE ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL
COMMISSIONING FUNCTIONS
Selecting this menu option takes you to the COMMISSIONING FUNCTIONS menu. As a rule, pressing
the Escape
3
button when in a submenu will return you to the COMMISSIONING FUNCTIONS menu.
Note: The majority of system commissioning - cause and effects programming, device and zone
naming, etc. MUST be done using the panel’s PC programming tools (Part No. XFP507).
LOOP LEARN
NB! LOOP LEARN WILL NOT AUTO ADDRESS DEVICES. LOOP LEARN IS ONLY FOR
PRE-ADDRESSED DEVICES, E.G. USING THE CAPROG HANDHELD PROGRAMMER.
An alternative function to LOOP LEARN is the AUTO ADDRESS menu option. See page 25 for details.
During a loop learn, the panel interrogates every pre-addressed device on the loop to see if an
addressable unit is present and, if so, find out what type of device it is.
Enter AL3 (4444) > Commissioning Functions > Loop Learn.
When the LOOP LEARN prompt appears, press the Accept
4
button to continue.
Press the scroll
5
button to select ‘Yes’ then press the Accept
4
button shown below:
Select which loop(s) to learn: ALL or 1 or 2 using the scroll
5
button then press the Accept
4
button.
When requested by the panel fit the NVM link shown below:
As the panel may already have loop device data stored in its memory from a previous loop learn or PC
upload, you will be asked if you want to erase this information before the loop learn begins.
Note: Loop 1 has been selected in the following examples.
You now have two options: ‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? No’, or ‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? Yes’,
as detailed below:
Option 1: Select ‘Erase Loop 1 device data first? No’
Use this option if you do not want to erase the stored loop device data. The panel will learn the loop
without overwriting existing data, e.g. zone and group allocation, device names, etc., which will remain
unchanged. The only data that will be overwritten is device type and whether or not it is fitted.
Press the scroll
5
button to select ‘No’ then press the Accept
4
button shown below.
The panel will start a loop learn. Wait for the process to complete and a summary window will appear,
similar to the one shown below:
Press the Accept
4
button then press the Escape
3
button x 3 to return the panel to a normal condition.
When requested by the panel remove the NVM link shown below:
Erase Loop 1 device data first? No
Continue with Loop Learn? No
Continue with Loop Learn? Yes
Please fit the NVM Link now
