for each menu that you may access on the LCD Key-
pad.
Wired zone automapping
On the ABSOLUTA Plus series control panels the rela-
tionship between the physical input zones position (on
Main Board, BPI Input Expanders or Wireless) and the
zones position really managed by the panel (following
named
Logical Zones
) is not fixed.
This feature requires that each valid Physical Zone has
to be assigned to one Logical Zone before to become
functional: this process is named
Zone Mapping
.
The zone mapping may be accomplished manually via
BOSS control software (see “Zones” on page 48) but it
is also performed automatically every time you perform
the Wizard Setup (refer to “Auto-Configuration (Wizard
setup)” in the “INSTALLING” section), as indicated
below.
1.
The Control Panel searches the first Physical Zone
with
a
Standby
Status
and
Supervision
DIFFERENT from
not used
(that is, the zones that
are NOT indicated by a dash).
2.
If a Physical Zone is available to be mapped, goes
to the next step, else it quits the procedure.
3.
The Control Panel searches the first available Logi-
cal Zone position tagged as
free
, skipping all the
positions that result as occupied.
4.
If there is a free Logical Zone position goes to the
next step, else it quits the procedure.
5.
The Control Panel maps the Physical Zone to the
free Logical Zone position.
This sequence will be repeated until there are Physical
Zones available to be mapped or Logical Zone posi-
tions free.
At the end of the wired zones auto-mapping procedure
all the mapped zones become functional.
Two main scenarios may be considered.
r
The auto-mapping process runs on a completely
cleared zone’s map (first panel power-on or BPI en-
rol after a full factory default). In this case:
Ø
the available Physical Zones will be mapped se-
quentially starting from the first Logical Zone posi-
tion.
r
The auto mapping process runs on a written zone’s
map (BPI enrol on an already configured system). In
this case:
Ø
the Physical Zones that are still present, maintain
their Logical Zone position;
Ø
the Physical Zones that are no longer present, if any,
will free their Logical Zone position;
Ø
the new physical zones, if any, will be mapped in all
the free Logical Zone positions available.
Wireless device mapping
Each time you enroll a wireless device (see “2.3) Wire-
less Device enrolling” on page 111) the control panel
assigns a slot, a logical zone, or a logical output to the
enrolled device, as described below:
Ø
each enrolled wireless device is stored in the first
free slot of its type (detectors, sirens, repeaters, and
keyfob);
Ø
each enrolled wireless detector is assigned to the
first free logical zone;
Ø
each enrolled wireless siren is assigned to the first
free logical output.
