4.3.3. Addressing devices
This menu allows the installer to set / edit the address of the device, to identify any unaddressed devices that are nevertheless
connected to the Loop, and to perform a sequential addressing or automatic addressing procedure for all devices connected
to the system.
The type of addressing depends on the installer’s requirements and the system configuration.
The installer can adopt three approaches to add devices to the system configuration:
• The devices are connected directly to the panel via Loop board 41ECL120, and are already addressed (programming
via manual programmer 41SPG000). The panel automatically recognises the devices in accordance with the address
assigned previously. The installer can SAVE the new devices one by one or all at once using the SAVE button on the main
Programming screen
.
•
SEQUENTIAL ADDRESSING
: The new devices are ready to be connected to the system: the loop line is ready but
the devices are not installed (the detectors and sounders are not mounted on the bases; buttons and modules are not
connected to the loop via their terminals).
To access the sequential addressing menu, the installer should proceed as follows:
SYSTEM – PROGRAMMING – DEVICES – ADDRESSING – SEQUENTIAL ADDRESSING.
The display shows the first free address for each of the available loop boards 41ECL120.
At this point the installer can proceed with installation of devices 1 by 1. The panel assigns the address shown on the
display to the first device installed, and automatically moves on to the next.

In the “Next Address” field, the panel shows the first free address for each loop. The panel recognises and skips all addresses
which have already been assigned and moves on to the following free address. You can scroll through the address numbers
using + and - or by entering the number directly, by pressing the address currently shown. Exit the menu by pressing

SELF ADDRESSING
: The automatic addressing function for panel 41CPE118 is aimed at making it quicker and easier
to install devices on the loop. The installer can fit all devices without pre-setting the address, so that they can all be
addressed automatically afterwards with a single click from the panel menu.
The time required for self addressing depends on the system configuration and the total number of devices connected to
the Loop. Procedure progress is shown by means of a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
The installer should enter the number of the loop for which they want to begin addressing in the “Loop Number” field. The
number of addressed devices will be shown in the “Number of Devices” field.
To access the self addressing menu, the installer should proceed as follows:
SYSTEM – PROGRAMMING – DEVICES – ADDRESSING – AUTO ADDRESSING.
There are 2 automatic addressing methods: using the serial ID of the devices and via isolator.
•
Auto addressing ID
: On starting this addressing method, the panel detects and numbers all devices in ascending order,
observing the ID number on each Comelit device but divided into families, i.e. Modules and Buttons first, then Detectors
and finally Sounders.
If the procedure is successful, the panel shows the message “Successful”, in addition to the total number of addressed
devices on the selected Loop and any branches that are part of it.
•
Auto addressing Isolator
: On starting addressing via “Isolator”, the panel addresses all devices by arranging them in
ascending order, beginning with the right-hand branch of the terminals on the Loop board fitted in the panel.
When a detector is fitted on a base with sounder (41SCB100 / 41SAB100), the panel addresses the sounder first and then
the sensor mounted on it.
If the procedure is successful, the panel shows the message “
Successful
”, in addition to the total number of devices found
on the selected Loop and any branches that are part of it.
