The main disadvantage of this method of zone allocation is the maximum zone capacity of 16 devices
If a zone has more than 16 devices it will need to be split into smaller zones.
Similarly, a zone with only one device would leave 15 empty addresses on that zone.
This will not cause a problem if it is considered at the system design stage.
2. Decide if the sounders need to operate common or zonal. If they are to be common, then there are
three options to decide between:
i.
Conventional sounders connected to the 4 conventional sounder circuits
ii.
Fyreye sounder bases connected to the addressable loop.
iii.
Addressable stand alone sounders in a zone without any detectors, call points or
input units. (In the example above, zone 8 could be used for common loop sounders:
address 113 to 126, which allows 14 devices)
Each option has advantages & disadvantages. Check the Sounder option chart on page 15 for
information.
3. If zonal sounder operation is required, loop controlled sounders must be used. They should have
addresses within the zone that contains the detectors that will activate them. During an alarm, after a
preset delay of 3 minutes, all addressable sounders will start.
Note
: The cabling to addressable sounders can be the same whatever method of operation is used.
The devices DO NOT have to be numbered sequentially on the loop. The sounders can be changed
between zonal and common, provided there are free addresses to change the sounder’s zones.
4. Whenever possible, give each device as descriptive a label as possible. The better the description,
the easier it is to locate in the event of an alarm. The panel allows 20 characters. It may be necessary
to use abbreviations to achieve the required label.
5. Keep the design of the system, and any changes to it well documented. This makes it easier to
trace any configuration errors during installation & commissioning.
