4.3  Connecting a FIRElink-100 to an addressable Fire Panel 

An Addressable Programmable Interface Card (FIRElink-APIC) may be used to decode detector 
information and to relay this to a Fire Panel. 

The FIRElink-APIC is fitted to the four mounting studs on the FIRElink-100 PCB using the supplied 
screws as shown below:

Mounting Studs 

(x 4) 

FIRElink-APIC 

Address Switches 

(x 2) 

 

 

 

 

FIRElink-APIC 

Interface 

Connection 

 

 

The connections to the Fire Panel are made using the BUS L1 and H1 (bus 1 input and output) and the 
BUS L2 and H2 (bus 1 input and output) terminal connectors shown in Section 3.1.4. 

The only settings that need to be made are on the FIRElink-APIC address DIP switches.  The start loop 
address Is entered on SW1 and the end loop address on SW2.  In the case of a single FIRElink-100 the 
start and end addresses will be the same.
