System Overview
be programmed such that the sounder nearest to the sensor operates immediately and
continuously, the remaining sounders in the affected zone operate in pulsed mode and
the other sounders delay for a selectable period to allow the cause of the alarm to be
investigated before global ringing commences.
Soft addressing
COP3000 utilises intelligent soft addressing technology to greatly simplify the
installation and commissioning processes.
Once the system has been installed and the autolearn menu selected, the COP3000
control panel will automatically scan the detection loops and allocate each device with
an address number corresponding with its position on the loop, this avoids the
traditional need for manual addressing of the system devices which is time consuming
and provides a potential for error.
Every COP3000 analogue device incorporates an integral short circuit isolator ensuring
maximum system integrity. A single short circuit will not disable any loop-mounted
devices, the isolators in the devices each side of the short circuit will operate and the
COP3000 control panel will drive communication from both ends of the loop.
Simple future expansion
COP3000 is designed to ensure simplicity of future expansion.
If an additional device is added after the system has been programmed, the COP3000
will allocate the next available address, it will not alter any of the existing address
numbers allocation thus enabling simple updating of as fitted drawings etc.
Similarly if a device is removed, the relevant address is saved as a spare address for
future use, the addresses of the remaining devices are not altered.
Integral Power Supply and Battery
The COP3000 panel is designed for ease of installation, the power supply and battery
are integral to the main control panel so only a single panel is required even on large 4
loop systems.
Systems are available with either standard or extended capacity battery configurations.
Where system loading and standby period requirements necessitate an extended
capacity battery, a deeper backbox is utilised thus avoiding the need for a separate
battery enclosure.
The COP3000 charger is suitable for both standard and extended capacity batteries.
