Fire Group
Fire Groups are for the purpose of using multiple CORE controlled fire systems and grouping specific fire
systems together. This will allow the user the ability to assign different zones for independent activation.
In order to set a fire group, you will need to set the CORE board DIP switches to:
Note: Every panel with matching fire group settings (DIP switches 6 and 7) will activate
simultaneously in a fire condition.
Figure 43
shows an example of different zones on separate fire groups, but still connected via the
interlock network. In the example, when 2 Fire groups (01 and 02) are assigned on the CORE boards, and
if a fire condition exists in any one group, it will NOT activate the other fire group although both are
connected to the same interlock network.
• Fire Group 01 CORE board DIP switch setting will be set to: Switch 6 Open and Switch 7 Open.
• Fire Group 02 CORE board DIP switch setting will be set to: Switch 6 Closed and Switch 7 Open.
Refer to
“Typical DIP Switch Arrangement” on page 59
for setting multiple CORE controlled fire
systems.
